Mets go 1-2-3 in the top Reds counter with: Freel - CF Denorfia - RF Dunn - LF Aureilia - 1B Encarnacion - 3B Phillips - 2B Clayton -SS LaRue -C Arroyo - P ... and Glavine retires them 1-2-3 on 8 pitches

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2006 12:56 PM

Cliff wants to tell the CPF: "KABOOM" 1-0 middle of 2nd

MFS62 Jul 20 2006 12:59 PM

FK, I can't see any graphics on this PC (lazy browser). But the words about Cliff came through loud and clear. Thanks, Later

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2006 01:07 PM

Well maybe you can't see them because I didn't put up any graphics. Reds get back-to-back 1-out singles from Encarnacion & Phillips but no runs in their half of the 2nd.

MFS62 Jul 20 2006 01:11 PM

I can't see any graphics, so I didn't know if there were any or not. Later

Hillbilly Jul 20 2006 01:16 PM

I know what you mean. I don't see any dancing gnomes, but I think they may be here. Can't be sure for sure.

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2006 01:16 PM

(No one tell MFS that there's a huge middle finger graphic pointed at him right now) A Glavine single is left stranded in the Met half of the 3rd.

MFS62 Jul 20 2006 01:18 PM

THAT I saw. LOL! Later

Castro erases a Red single with a CS 1-0 after 3

Willets Point Jul 20 2006 01:25 PM

I see pink elephants. And a Carlos Delgado HR!

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2006 01:32 PM

Inning 4: Carlos D adds a 'KABOOM' of his own Then 2 out singles by Cliff & Valentin leave things up to Castro who ... promptly strikes out. 2-0 middle of 4th

Glavine works around a 2-out walk by K-ing Phillips looking 2-0 end of 4

duan Jul 20 2006 01:47 PM

I love pitchers having 8 pitch at bats.

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 01:48 PM

Glavine 54 pitches through 4. I'll buy that.

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2006 01:49 PM

Glavine - Reyes - Chavez go FO, FO, FO 2-0, mid-5th

duan Jul 20 2006 01:53 PM

agh, back to back singles against Glavine. Me no likey.

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 01:57 PM

Sucks when a guy finds the exit to the Interstate when he's playing your team.

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2006 02:00 PM

Clayton - Single LaRue - Single Arroyo - SacBunt Freel - 2RBI Double Denorfia - F9 Dunn - F9 2-2 end of 5

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2006 02:06 PM

Carlos - K Carlos - K Wright - K

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 02:08 PM

Boston fans want to play the "Arroyo's only pitching well because he's in the National League" card. But when you strike out Beltran, Delgado, and Wright back-to-back-to-back, you're pretty fucking good.

Willets Point Jul 20 2006 02:14 PM

F'in Glavine.

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 02:15 PM

The trade dealine is in 11 days? Geez, where did the summer go?

Willets Point Jul 20 2006 02:15 PM

Yay defense!

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:17 PM

- R. Aurilia singled to left - E. Encarnacion ground rule double to deep left center, R. Aurilia to third - B. Phillips grounded into fielder's choice, R. Aurilia out at home, E. Encarnacion to third - R. Clayton grounded out to pitcher, B. Phillips to second

seawolf17 Jul 20 2006 02:18 PM

I hate intentional walks. They're fascist.

Willets Point Jul 20 2006 02:19 PM

Fan interference and Aurillia brainfarting on the basepath help get the Mets out of this inning unscathed. This could have been a MUCH uglier inning.

seawolf17 Jul 20 2006 02:20 PM

Was that a bases-loaded bunt? Is Arroyo drunk, or did the ESPN GameCast just not call that one correctly?

Willets Point Jul 20 2006 02:23 PM

'Twas a bases loaded bunt. Oddly Castro went for the tag even though there was a force play at the plate. Actually that's a third thing that worked in the Mets favor to getting out of the inning. Remember this before you drench Glavine with Schaefer tonight.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:28 PM

Mets down in order in the 7th, still 2-2. Castro made the last out, so this will probably be Glavine's last inning.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:30 PM

Freel leads off with a double. It may take some doing now for Glavine to even finish the inning.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:31 PM

Now a bunt. Go-ahead run on third with one out.

Willets Point Jul 20 2006 02:33 PM

Yancy Street Gang wrote: Castro made the last out, so this will probably be Glavine's last inning. Sadly, no. WIllie has cahnfidence in Tom.

Willets Point Jul 20 2006 02:35 PM

Bradford coming in after Glavine allows the bases to become drunk on Reds.

metirish Jul 20 2006 02:37 PM

Mets not doing that good against a potential playoff foe.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:38 PM

Hatteberg hits for Encarnacion with the bases loaded and one out. Double play desirable.

Edgy DC Jul 20 2006 02:39 PM

Bradford. Wow. Now don't let up.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:40 PM

Bradford fans Hatteberg. Now Phillips is up.

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 02:41 PM

Mets are away. They split the first two, with help of a rain delay. And they're tied 2-2 in the 7th against their ace. That's just fine.

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 02:42 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 20 2006 02:45 PM

It's going to be hard to order the bullpen pitchers when it comes time to rank for 2006.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:42 PM

Phillips grounds out. I'm saving some Schaefer for Mr. Bradford.

Edgy DC Jul 20 2006 02:42 PM

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:44 PM

Quick! Pick a pinch-hitter to lead off the inning. I'll say WOODWARD!

Edgy DC Jul 20 2006 02:45 PM

Oliver's done great. But he's not pitched more than a handful of high leverage innings.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:45 PM

It's Franco.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:45 PM

Frankie strikes out swinging.

How are we supposed to muster any offense when we're dodging all these bullets?

It would be nice if the batters could find a way to score other than home runs too. You can live well and die miserable on a home run offense.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:51 PM

Endy singles in the 8th, but nobody else does anything and the Mets fail to score. Still 2-2, last of the 8th. Sanchez next?

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:54 PM

Nope, it's Heilman.

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 02:54 PM

Trade Heilman now?

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:54 PM

Clayton leads off with a single. Gotta hold them here, Aaron!

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:55 PM

Arroyo on deck. A bunting situation will keep him in the game. Let's get a double play here.

Edgy DC Jul 20 2006 02:56 PM

Speaking of high-leverage innings, It's generally better to use your top reliever in a tied game, or even a game with a one-run defecit, than to use him with a three-run lead.

seawolf17 Jul 20 2006 02:57 PM

But then he can't get a save, Edgy. And isn't that really what it's all about?

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 02:59 PM

LaRue does the bunting, gets the runner to second. Baby Brother Valentin hits for Arroyo.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:01 PM

Valentin grounds to third, runner doesn't advance. Two outs.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:02 PM

And Freel grounds to third. Heilman gets out of it.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:05 PM

Guardado to face Delgado, Wright, and Floyd. This looks like our chance here.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:09 PM

Anybody else here? Delgado flies out, then Wright doubles.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:11 PM

Floyd whiffs. It's up to Big Brother Valentin to drive in the run.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:11 PM

He doesn't. He grounds to short instead. Another inning for Heilman? I say, why not?

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:15 PM

Willie doesn't agree. Feliciano gets the call, walks Denorfia, and faces Dunn.

seawolf17 Jul 20 2006 03:19 PM

Boy, Feliciano has been good this year.

seawolf17 Jul 20 2006 03:20 PM

Actually, I take that back in case I just jinxed him.

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 03:22 PM

Whoa. What just happened there? Lots of yelling going on on the FAN about that CS. Whatshisname sounds exactly like Gary. I think.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:25 PM

Donofria is caught stealing after Dunn strikes out. Two out, nobody on. Note to self: Schaefer for Castro.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:26 PM

Aurilia walks. Winning run on base once again.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 20 2006 03:30 PM

Feliciano has xtra incentive vs. the Reds -- they thought he was a fair price for Shawn Estes.

Willets Point Jul 20 2006 03:33 PM

Free Baseball. Looking at his Gamecast photo, I'd say Majewski has the mullet of power.

Elster88 Jul 20 2006 03:34 PM

6 more games until the next off-day. Is anyone watching on TV? Did Nady hustle on that? He got to second so he must've.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 20 2006 03:34 PM

Elster88 wrote: Whoa. What just happened there? Lots of yelling going on on the FAN about that CS. Whatshisname sounds exactly like Gary. I think. The throw by Castro was offline and to the shortstop side of the bag. Valentin had to pick it on the shorthop and then quickly slap the tag down on the other side of the bag, which he did beautifully. It was a bang-bang play as the baseball announcers say and even Keith thought he might've been in there. Great play by Valentin either way.

Edgy DC Jul 20 2006 03:37 PM

Double on a popup to the secondbaseman? That's crazy talk.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:40 PM

Endy follows Nady's double with one of his own. Mets are up 3-2.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 20 2006 03:40 PM

Edgy DC wrote: Double on a popup to the secondbaseman? That's crazy talk. Pop-up into shallow right field. Phillips pulled up as Chris "Criminal Intent" Denorfia called him off. Denorfia beat wasn't as good as he thought it was and he dove and came up short. Nady wasn't trucking it all that hard around first, but even if he was, it would've been real tough to end up at third.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:41 PM

Mercker comes in to face Beltran. Let's get a few more runs here so Wagner doesn't frighten us too much.

Zvon Jul 20 2006 03:41 PM

what i miss? Chavez isDaMan

Zvon Jul 20 2006 03:43 PM

Beltran aint too shabby either. Doubles in Endy.

I want a three-run lead. I'm talking to you, Carlos Delgado.

Wagner gets Phillips for the first out.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:51 PM

Clayton next, followed by LaRue. I won't start worrying until (and unless) there's a baserunner.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 20 2006 03:51 PM

Clayton strikes out swinging. Two out.

First back-to-back series wins since June 15th - aka the end of the Magnificent Roadtrip.

It's been a long while since we've gone to bonus baseball -- 39 games, in fact. That's at least the 3-year high for number of games between extra inning games.
