IGT 7-16-2006 Game 3 in Chi-Town

SteveJRogers Jul 16 2006 05:50 PM

Mets J. Valentin 2b C. Woodward ss C. Beltran cf C. Delgado 1b J. Reyes 3b WHA? C. Floyd lf X. Nady rf R. Castro c O. Hernandez p Cubs J. Pierre cf T. Walker 2b M. Barrett c A. Ramirez 3b J. Jones rf J. Mabry 1b M. Murton lf R. Cedeno ss S. Marshall p Uh, I'm going to guess thats a typo at Yahoo Sports and Reyes is not the 134th Met Thirdbaseman...yet. Especially considering he is in the 5 hole

metirish Jul 16 2006 05:54 PM

ESPN has Wright hitting fifth.

SteveJRogers Jul 16 2006 05:54 PM

Yeah, bad typo, D Wright at third, I'm going to keep that up for the laughs of it!

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:03 PM

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:09 PM

Mets sent Owens down right after yesterdays game. I was a bit surprised.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:20 PM

Mets get a break on Woodwards pop up, which gets lost between 2nd and center and falls in for a single, but the Mets can't capitalize on it. Beltraan and Degado fly out and ground out. ElDouque to take the mound at Wrigley.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:24 PM

Suddenly Pierre plays like he should have all season- singles to lead off the game and immediatly steals second.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:29 PM

Barrett doubles home Pierre with a shot down the 3rd baseline. 1-0 Cubs.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:33 PM

Floyd cant make the play on Ramirez's drive to the ivy in left- Barrett scores- Ramirez pulls into second with a double. I would have thought the shadows would favor ElDuke at games start- not the case.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 06:34 PM

El Duque is pitching pretty pukey this evening :(

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 06:39 PM

Tomorrow is an off day. El Duque is ineffective, to say the least. Oliver, Heilman - get ready! You're each pitching three innings today.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:40 PM

ScarletKnight41 wrote: El Duque is pitching pretty pukey this evening :( At this point I think he's trying to be too dileberate. So of course, he walks Mabry and that bastage Murton. Hes gotta get out of it here-close the door here-pull the string- any more cliches? Damn! They had the bastage Murton picked off and dont get the call! UGH.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:43 PM

After all that the Cubs only end up plating 2. Could have been way worse. And i would think your right SK- getting 4 innings out of Hernandez would be nice. According to CBSsl he threw 42 pitches that inning.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 06:52 PM

Lovely - the pitcher homers against El Puque. Oliver - get in there NOW!!!

Zvon Jul 16 2006 06:52 PM

Cubs pitcher Marshall goes yard. Cripes.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 06:58 PM

In a new low for drivel, the ESPN crew is speculating that El Duque's problems stem from his psychological distaste for throwing to a catcher named Castro.

metirish Jul 16 2006 07:02 PM

This game is quickly turning to crap.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 07:13 PM

I left out the word steaming--- perponderous piles of steaming poo. Oliver does his job. Inning over (fiiiiinally). 5-0--that aint allAdat. Winds blowing out at Wrigley- the Mets are still in this. They just have to start lighting up that Cubbie pitcher Marshall like an Xmas tree in the middle of July.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 07:16 PM

And suddenly Marshall looks like Kerry Wood in his rookie year. An 11 pitch, 2K inning.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 07:20 PM

And the Cubs get a lead off single. Sheesh - this is a stinker!

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 07:25 PM

The Cubs actually fail to score in the third, stranding runners on second and third.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 07:27 PM

We're on the board, thanks to a leadoff homer by Woodward in the fourth. 5-1 Cubs.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 07:27 PM

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 08:09 PM

Bel-traan.

Rockin' Doc Jul 16 2006 08:10 PM

Delgado follows with a single. Beltran at second and Delgado on first with no outs in the top of the sixth. David Wright coming to the plate as the potential tying run.

metirish Jul 16 2006 08:10 PM

I like how Miller says Beltran's name.

Mr. Wright's single loads the bases.

Well, there you go. Orlando Hernandez was acquired when a series of injuries --- Bannister, Maine, Zambrano, and Fortunato --- left the Mets in need of a pitcher to take a big chunk of innings from their depleted staff, and when October baseball was hardly as likely as it is now. Back to the game. I'm trying to get office work done at home. I glanced at the score after two innings and thought (1) the Mets are going to win anyhow, and (2) "Sean Marshall, Cliff Floyd is going to hurt you."

A mere 2-run homer for David Wright. I love him anyway <g>

Zvon Jul 16 2006 08:33 PM

WRIGHT!!!!!!!

metirish Jul 16 2006 08:34 PM

Jesus H Christ what an inning for the Mets...Wright with a huge bomb, 77 RBI on the season for him.

Rockin' Doc Jul 16 2006 08:34 PM

Wright goes deep! His is only a paltry 2-run shot. 13-5 Mets and batting practice continues here in the sixth inning.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 16 2006 08:35 PM

That's the one that gets Dusty Baker fired tomorrow. Way to go.

Edgy DC Jul 16 2006 08:36 PM

I can't remember the last 11-run inning.

Edgy DC Jul 16 2006 08:38 PM

It's one thing to get a hit that knocks out the pitcher. It's another to get the hit that knocks out the manager. Dickshot has filed his prediction.

The best thing about this game (in addition to the monster comeback of course) is that it's delaying the telecast of their precious ESPYs. The over/under for in-game mentions that the ESPY telecast (which is on tape btw) was airing after the game was 85. I bet the over and am looking to clean up big time. Charlton Heston doesn't own enough weapons to make me watch that show.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 09:39 PM

Those aren't Cubs fans - they're ESPN employees.

Sanchez strikes out the side......brilliant game for Mets fans.

Rockin' Doc Jul 16 2006 09:41 PM

Sanchez strikes out the side swinging in the ninth. Mets win 13-7. This game was a polar opposite of yesterday's.

Zvon Jul 16 2006 09:42 PM

Sanchez Ks the side and the Mets pull the cubbie thorn out of their side. Pretty decent game, huh?

so, the antithesis of yesterday- what started out as a pusilanomous pile of poop turns into a season highlight. (somebody spellchk all those big words^)

ScarletKnight41 Jul 16 2006 09:45 PM

I'm checking out My Fair Brady. Yes, it's trash. But it's Shakespeare compared to the ESPYs.

]pusilanomous I will admit to have never seen that word before...wow.

Very few hitters are as fun to watch when they're going good as Clifford. Be nice if he stays on track for a while. Be even nicer if we could get Delgado back also.

Glad to make it so Warewolf :) Now that my crappy Brady show is over, we actually turned to the ESPYs. OMG - what dreck! Here's a memo to Lance Armstrong - you are NOT a stand-up comedian. Stick to riding bikes, please!

Good Times Roll (Nasty/McQuickly) from the Parlourphone LP "Sgt. Rutter's Only Darts Club Band" PCS-7027, 6/1/67 Lead Vocal: Ron Nasty Hour after hour in an ivory tower A thousand and nothings to do Spending the day in a colourful way Blue upon blue upon blue Psychadelicatessen Fricasse chorus girls thigh Toffee and mackeral gateau Pineapple pie in the sky See how the good times roll See how the good times roll See how the good times roll away See how the good times roll See how the good times roll See how the good times roll away Like ice in a drink invisible ink or dreams in the cold light of day The children of rock 'n roll never grow old They just fade away Drifting along on a cotton wool cloud dreaming of drum majorettes Swastika nightingales croon tongue in cheek an elephant never forgets See how the good times roll See how the good times roll See how the good times roll away See how the good times roll See how the good times roll See how the good times roll away (fades)

="Zvon"] I'm really liking this one.

metirish Jul 17 2006 10:42 AM

I was surprised to read that the Mets have never hit two grand slams in a game before last night.
