YKYNPFBTYW you didn't know Jacque Jones was on the Cubs. YKSMTKTEW you didn't know Jacque Jones was on the Cubs.

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:20 PM

Keef calling Ramirez out for not running hard on Jones' double. He says it drives your teammates crazy.

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:21 PM

The first few rows behind the plate are pretty empty.

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:22 PM

Traxx = reek

The name Maddux still instills fear in this poster.

Zvon Jul 24 2006 07:29 PM

Good news: Trax made it thru the 1st inning. Bad news: he gave up 3 runs.

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:31 PM

Not sure who Keith was talking about, I think it's Maddux, but he said if [pitcher] got pissed that players were trying to jerk home runs then he'd start breaking bats on purpose by throwing sinkers in on the hands.

SteveJRogers Jul 24 2006 07:32 PM

OE: DAMN PHOTOBUCKET RESIZER

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:34 PM

Ball off the right field wall gets away from Jones, but Lo Duca was watching to see if it would be caught and was held by Acta. Probably the right call. Though he did do a triple take looking at the ball. Why don't players know how to run the bases? That's like the easiest part of the game.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 24 2006 07:34 PM

Delgado's 2-RBI single cuts the deficit to 3-2 Cubs in the first.

SteveJRogers Jul 24 2006 07:34 PM

ScarletKnight41 Jul 24 2006 07:34 PM

Mr. Wright's single brings us runners on the corners.

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:34 PM

Pierre gets to Wright's ball very nicely in left-center to hold him to a single.

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:35 PM

Delgado's 2 run single was a looper placed nicely.

SteveJRogers Jul 24 2006 07:35 PM

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:35 PM

Good graphic on Maddux. ERA under 2 through his first five starts. 5.78 since. Let's not trade for him.

SteveJRogers Jul 24 2006 07:37 PM

Something is wrong with my darn thing here

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 07:38 PM

Horrible turn by Perez, fell off the base as he was throwing, and [shortstop] didn't charge it in the first place. Bang-bang at first that Floyd wins. Shoulda been a DP. Maddux was coming off the mound on the hit, but after watching the play he kind of threw up his arm. Not a happy man. Of course the second through fifth hitters hit the piss out of the ball.

Zvon Jul 24 2006 07:40 PM

Im not 100% here tonight-- but I do see the Mets have tied the game already. YAY!. Who the hell voted no in the poll? lol- No brew for you!

SteveJRogers Jul 24 2006 07:40 PM

OH BUGGAH!

ScarletKnight41 Jul 24 2006 07:41 PM

I'm finding it distracting to have a poll attached to the IGT. Perez gets on base on Reyes' misplay, and moves to second on a ground out.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 24 2006 07:42 PM

Pierre's check swing contact becomes the second out.

Zvon Jul 24 2006 07:42 PM

="SteveJRogers"]Met Offense! UNITE AND ASSEMBLE! that really is excellent. Great rally cry thingy.

TransMonk Jul 24 2006 07:43 PM

I voted no...I came in right as the top of the 1st inning was ending. Figured I'd go with the odds. No reflection on our team. Mostly, I was annoyed at being asked.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 24 2006 07:43 PM

It turns out that Pierre was automatically out for hitting the ball twice.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 24 2006 07:44 PM

Mr. Wright tags out Perez for the third out :)

SteveJRogers Jul 24 2006 07:45 PM

Zvon Jul 24 2006 07:46 PM

Gary tells us that Maddux is making his 64th career start against the Mets....what's the record?

These three guys are bloody great together in the booth.

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 08:10 PM

We did this last year I think with the most-of trivia threads. I can't remember the exact numbers.

metirish Jul 24 2006 08:19 PM

I swear these lads are cracking me up with all the talk about how to wear uni socks and stirrups.....and now Keith is going on about how mad he was that Koo got his #17 last year.....very funny

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 08:22 PM

We're pretty fortunate that the ex-ballplayers from the Mets were and are well-spoken intelligent individuals.

Elster88 Jul 24 2006 08:26 PM

Nady't double hit the top of the wall in almost dead-center. If Floyd and Delgado get hot, and Wright, Beltran, Reyes, and Lo Duca play at this pace. And Nady does what he's been doing...we could put Kaz back at second and this team would be disgusting.

Zvon Jul 24 2006 08:33 PM

So the Mets take the lead on back to back doubles by Floyd and Nady- 4-3 *Z shakes his fist at Transmonk* Ya gotta believe man!!!! Ya gotta believe!!!

metirish Jul 24 2006 08:40 PM

Cubs take the lead on a monster shot form Ramirez......bollox.

My winning streak -- like Trachsel's -- had to end someday. Took in the game along with the CPF's own FK in nice seats on a comfortable night with lots of Action. Not only do aluminum bottles keep your beer xtrra cold, they make terrific noisemakers when smashed against the box railing. I smashed the rail on my Mezz box until it turned back into blue. Can't be too mad when they give up 8 runs yet bring the tying run to the plate as often as they did. My complaints are but 2: Traxxx. Bad. As said above, a little less Trachsel andwe win. Woodward. Nady's on second after clobbering in Floyd, who clobbered himself. No outs. Don't be grounding to third.

- The noise from the banging Aluminum bottles also annoys the Cub fans in front of you - Tonight's game's sponsor/giveaway was 'Popcorn, Indiana': [u:1df6c97aff]America's Best[/u:1df6c97aff] All Natural Kettlecorn No it isn't.

I just saw the Ramirez's homer off Trax. WOW! Quite a blast.

You seem to want a collapse, so that you can enjoy agonizing over it for the rest of your life. I think that's something you can discuss with your therapist on your own time. We don't need to keep seeing Thumb Boy pounding the panic button.

]but untill the Braves are 20 out, I'm not discounting them You would still be panicking if they were 20 out.

Think I'm just looking at this year as a, well anomaly is too strong of a word since natural progression should suggest that this was coming, but it does seem more like a team thats playing over its projected average than say the 1986 team which was great before and after 1986. Or maybe I just want a decent September race so I don't have to worry about how rough of a schedule the Giants have early on! =;)

Projected? The Mets are winning only slightly more (2 games) than their runs scored & allowed say they should: Take them away, and there's still a comfortable lead.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 25 2006 09:52 AM

No, they're not the 1986 Mets. They may very well be eliminated in the first round because their pitching isn't as good as we'd like. But invoking historic collapses of the past is just ridiculous. It may happen, of course, but to worry about it at this point is just masochistic. If you can't enjoy a 12-game lead in late July you probably aren't cut out to root for a winning team.
