...and there goes the IGT mojo. Damn you KC! [/sarcasm] I guess that International League incident wasn't a problem for Lastings.

EHEM! "Don't go changing to try and please... (gets janked off the stage with cane) Where did the lineups come from, don't see them posted yet in several places

KC Aug 01 2006 06:20 PM

I wasn't so sure we had a batter, so I grabbed a bat. I ain't all that big on IGT mojo after an off day. I'm kinda excited that Milledge is back.

KC Aug 01 2006 06:21 PM

I got 'em off 'scores' on USAToday.com, Steve.

martin Aug 01 2006 07:17 PM

i get the impression that reyes is unhappy with the footing on the dirt in florida. he was hopping around at first, and the step leading into third looked a bit funky and brought him down, leading to beltran getting rundown.

TransMonk Aug 01 2006 07:23 PM

Of the approx. 5000 fans in Florida tonight, sounds like the majority are Mets fans.

TransMonk Aug 01 2006 07:26 PM

Hmmm...Nady would have had that. Lastings, you kill me.

Farmer Ted Aug 01 2006 07:28 PM

Milledge is a poor man's Jay Payton. Fuck.

martin Aug 01 2006 07:29 PM

man, pelfrey is putting a hurtin on that mouthpiece. relax fella! milledge is gonna feel guilty about that play in left and make up for it with a dinger.

Farmer Ted Aug 01 2006 07:35 PM

I'm watching the MLB telecast on TV which shows the Marlins' feed...and Tommy Hutton is killing Milledge. From attitude to hair to the oversized elbow pad ("You haven't earned the right to an oversized pad"). Lastings needs a full-time PR rep.

metirish Aug 01 2006 07:36 PM

That was a terrible non-play though....jesus kid this is your chance to shine.

TransMonk Aug 01 2006 07:36 PM

I don't disagree with anything Hutton has said.

TransMonk Aug 01 2006 07:48 PM

Beltran stays hot and goes KABOOM! 4-1 Mets in the 3rd.

KC Aug 01 2006 07:48 PM

How hot is Carlos Beltran? Scary hot.

SteveJRogers Aug 01 2006 07:50 PM

Vamos Carlos, Seinor Beltran en fuego

Elster88 Aug 01 2006 08:00 PM

I heard that Beltran guy is pretty good. Is that true?

Elster88 Aug 01 2006 08:02 PM

Wearing a giant arm pad is not something you earn. And if it was, then Hutton hasn't earned the right to rip someone for wearing an arm pad.

TransMonk Aug 01 2006 08:07 PM

Holy crap! Milledge drew a walk.

martin Aug 01 2006 08:13 PM

milledge has been drawing lots of walks, i think his obp in the minors was well over .400.

TransMonk Aug 01 2006 08:35 PM

.392 at Norfolk. More importantly to me, that was just his 5th walk in 25 games at the ML level where his OBP is well below .300. I would love to see our starting rightfielder continue to be patient and get on base more.

metirish Aug 01 2006 08:51 PM

Milledge walks again...Keith and Gary talking about Lastings bumping the ump in the minors, Keith says it happened to him when he was in the Texas League, "the ump was hammered drunk", got fined a $100 bucks and the cheque bounced....funny stuff. Gary - " you just don't know how to get yourself out of trouble do you?".

metirish Aug 01 2006 09:02 PM

Bases loaded, Pelfrey is staying in the game, he just can't locate his pitches ,this is a nice test for him.

metirish Aug 01 2006 09:05 PM

Yeah nice job from Pelfrey as he gets the SO to end the inning, I love that Willie left him in the game....

TransMonk Aug 01 2006 09:06 PM

He passes the test. He's pitched decently. Nothing that will keep him in the rotation, but still some good stuff.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 01 2006 09:06 PM

BIG whiff. Now let's win it for him. Cue the inspiring rally song: ]I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention...

metirish Aug 01 2006 09:19 PM

Good game to watch, quite IGT, Keith saying he'll be in Miami for the Super Bowl, his 14th bowl game.

metirish Aug 01 2006 09:22 PM

Bradford has a briliant 1 2 3 inning.

metirish Aug 01 2006 09:28 PM

Keith thinks Lastings elbow gaurd is "outrageous", and he's right,it's fuckin huge. Where is everyone...

metirish Aug 01 2006 09:37 PM

Milledge gets spiked trying to break up a double play, nice gash on his left hand, Chavez in the game for him, Heilman pitches the 8th with a one run lead,no sign of Bert ,he just got into town this orning.

metirish Aug 01 2006 09:40 PM

Heilman has a perfect 8th inning,Mets go to the ninth with a 5 to 4 lead.

He's sitting in the bullpen with a ball in his hand. Wearing #49, although he's said that he expects to get #39 from Feliciano before the Mets return to New York.

So the guys in the studio are talking about Milledge blowing of Willie in the dugout after he made the error, what do we make of this?, maybe Glavine should take him down the tunnel for a chat.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 01 2006 10:10 PM

He's a jerk.

Rockin' Doc Aug 01 2006 11:57 PM

I was almost positive that Milledge was who you meant, but after Wagner's performance tonight, I just wanted to be certain. Milledge's attitude is the main reason I was disappointed to see Nady traded yesterday. At least Nady seemed to always give 100% on the field and he didn't cause trouble. Milledge has a tremendous amount of talent and potential that seems to be matched only by his cocky attitude. Lord knows how often we'll get 100% effort from him.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 06:27 AM

I just saw the highlights- and ESPN has to "FLASHBACK" to Looper giving up a walkoff to the Fish. UGH. Cripes--Wagner couldnt have thrown a fatter fastball.

Centerfield Aug 02 2006 08:52 AM

For what it's worth, I'm almost ok with Wagner's blown save last night. Bloop single...give up a HR challenging a hitter...sometimes those are the breaks. He seems to have gotten over his control problems from earlier this year (knock on wood). And if that's the case, I can live with that. Of course, he does this in October and I say beat his ass. I really didn't like what I saw from Milledge last night when he walked away from Willie. Everything I see from this kid leads me to believe he's an asshole. I wish we had traded Milledge and held on to Nady.

Yancy Street Gang Aug 02 2006 08:53 AM

I find that I like walkoff wins better than walkoff losses.

I'd like to beat his ass NOW!!!! Never a good time to blow a save but considering all the bad news of Sunday/Monday, and the fact that the rest of the team bucked up to overcome Milledge's halfassedness, and bested a pretty good pitcher, and got a heroic 8th inning by Heilman only a few days after he'd been warming up with an 8-run lead, and it being the first game in a road series, and with the MFYs winning, and the columnists saluting Cashman's genius in "shrewdly" adding $25 million in payroll, and the Red Sox losing, and the baby crying, Wagner and his fat first-pitch meatball can kiss my big yellow behind.

That basically sums up my feelings. I tried to convince myself that they were still up 13 1/2 games, but that didn't matter - it still SBHMC

I have access to the soundtrack. Here's what really happened: WR: Lastings--what happened on that fly? LM: Don't know--I think I felt a twinge and pulled up short.

Edgy DC Aug 02 2006 12:29 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 02 2006 02:58 PM This is all pretty ironic as coming in on sinking balls seems to be the type of play that's gotten Nady judged (unfairly, to my thinking) as a brutal outfielder. Big guys tend to have trouble with that play, but Nady, though he looks pretty big, is listed at 6'0" --- probably accurately, to judge from the shots of him next to his teammates that I posted in the memories thead. Milledge is listed at 6'1".

Im sure it is, but dont you think that all players have their "game face", and their cliche responses and their act? The real pros never show us their true selves, just their public selves. I think Lastings better get his act together- and if he wants to act big-better play big.
