Mets already on the board--ANOTHER 1st inning run. Reyes singles-steals second- the hot hitting LoDuca drives him in with a single. Bases are now loaded for David Wright- no outs.

KC Aug 02 2006 07:20 PM

Seems like I always turn the game on just a little late and I miss Reyes' first AB and he's standing on first.

SteveJRogers Aug 02 2006 07:24 PM

Mets Offense, Assemble, Unite and Activate!

Mets have scored 4 runs on some timely hitting and shoddy play by the Fish. They already have 2 errors that cost them 2 runs. Mets up, 4-0. Trachsel with a nice lil cusion as he takes the mound.

Castro and Franco kind of look out of place with those professional, Met Yearbook photos Ah well...

Gotta love when your pitcher gets an AB before he throws his first pitch.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 07:43 PM

Reyes and LoDuca start off the second with back to back singles. Boy- those two are hot. Nolasco is a good pitcher but he always gets all shook up facing the Mets. Beltan reaches on a bunt single. We got ducks on the pond people. Again.

Yancy Street Gang Aug 02 2006 07:51 PM

I'm getting the broadcast from Florida. There was a commercial for Marlins ticket packages. They don't say that going to Marlins games is "fun" or "exciting" or anything like that. They stress that it's "convenient." No wonder the stands look so empty.

duan Aug 02 2006 07:52 PM

you getting that on mlb.tv ? i keep getting "playlist format not recognised"

Zvon Aug 02 2006 07:53 PM

Another error by the Marlins. But the Mets 5th run is an earned one, a sac fly by Delgado. Again, its Reyes that scores.

I used to get alot of games thru "The Game Live" website but more and more thats not working for some reason. I gave up trying weeks ago and I just read the game on Sportsline. Id love to hear the game.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 08:01 PM

Nolasco is pulled for a pinch hitter? In the 2nd? Yikes! Another blow to my BB fantasy life.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 08:07 PM

Chavez works Pinto for 8 pitches and reaches on a single. Great at-bat. Pinto wild pitches him to second. Lets line up these Florida pitchers and go thru em all. Pinto WALKS Trax-- ha.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 08:12 PM

Another Marlins error--another run. If anyone can color in what happened there please do. 6-0 Mets.

TransMonk Aug 02 2006 08:13 PM

Jose Reyes grounds into a force out, third baseman Miguel Cabrera to second baseman Alfredo Amezaga. Endy Chavez scores. Steve Trachsel out at 2nd. Jose Reyes advances to 1st, on throwing error by second baseman Alfredo Amezaga.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 08:24 PM

Thanx- This is how Sportline writes it up: Reyes reached on fielder's choice to third, Chavez to third, Trachsel out at second, Chavez scored on Amezaga's throwing error. ____ So the error was on the throw to first. Reading the game leaves alot to be desired. Florida is trying to give us this one. Im not complaining.

I really enjoy SNY. I know that's small consolation to those of you not in the viewing area, but Gary, Keith, and Ron (who is off tonight) have really done a nice job this year. I just love Gary; he's just a bald guy with a great voice, which gives me inspiration that I, too, can acquire my dream job someday.

="Yancy Street Gang"] I'm watching on television with my MLB Extra Innings package. It's on Sports South, or something like that. Thnx-.. Trachsel looks good thru 4, only allowing a run on a Cabrera RBI single. Around the league: In St Lou: Chase Utley is 0 for 2 so far in his bid to keep his hitting streak alive.

Gwreck Aug 02 2006 08:43 PM

"Trying to keep cool with the air conditioning"?? You turn on the A/C, it's cool. Go outside, it's not. Easy!

Gee, Willie, do you think it's time to get somebody up?

Gwreck Aug 02 2006 09:05 PM

With Roberto Hernandez in the game, he becomes the first two-separate-stints-with-the-Mets player since...Roger Cedeno?

SteveJRogers Aug 02 2006 09:06 PM

Welcome back Bert, now get one out!

Zvon Aug 02 2006 09:06 PM

Gwreck wrote: Gee, Willie, do you think it's time to get somebody up? Maybe he wants to ensure it ends up a save situation. *Z pulls out a tuft of hair* Trax gives back 2, allowing solo shots to Ramirez and Cabrera. His P.C. up to 93 and I have to assume this pause in the reading action means Willies goin to get him.

Fortunately Mr Herandez strikes out Olivo. Unfortunatley the third strike is also a wild pitch, and Olivo reaches. Helms follows with a single to center-Olivo to 2nd. Amezega works Mr H for a 6 pitch at bat, and flies out to center- Oliva moves to third on the sac. 2 out. Come on Berto- shut the door--we traded for last years model. He wont get the chance-Feliciano on to face ex-Met Jacobs.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 09:30 PM

Uggla pinch hits for Jacobs. Feleece walks him. Guess he'd rather face Cabrera. UGH.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 09:33 PM

...or make way for Bradford. I thought we'd be going thru Marlin pitchers all night but instead the Fish are going thru Met pitchers.

I was referring to the Captain in that incruseatingly long "I'm your Captain, I'm your Captain..." song The one that rambles "I'm getting closer to my home" for about 20 minutes

Willets Point Aug 02 2006 10:10 PM

Ah, insurance runs would be nice. Although we don't really need them cuz with a 1-run lead we can count on Wagner to come in to shut the door.

A single and a freakin hit by pitch.... great. Milledge is in for Floyd in left. And now we have the heart of Floridas lineup.

Zvon Aug 02 2006 10:26 PM

The Marlins pinch run for both helms and Moehler. Gonna be tuff to get a much needed double play here.

Wright's left a small village on base the last coupla days. - 3 Ks on Tuesday. - Then another today, plus a bags-drunk pop-up, and only a Cabrera error kept him from hitting into 2 GiDPs

Just saw ESPNs highlights of the game on Sportcenter--and all they showed were clips from Wagners ninth. WTF? "...and Wagner does something he has never done before--hits the opposing pitcher with a pitch...." Ahhh--excuse me--the Mets scored 6 runs in the first 3 innings and seein a lil a that would have been nice. Sheesh.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 03 2006 12:31 AM

I was scoreboard watching this one in St. Louis, with supplemental updates from my Sidekick (and the first inning recap courtesy of Iubitul - thanks!). Frustrating as heck, but at least the Mets won. Then we saw Looper pitching like Looper for St. Louis, which made me appreciate Alpaca Boy more.

Wagner.

="Zvon"] "...and Wagner does something he has never done before--hits the opposing pitcher with a pitch...." Technically, he wasn't the opposing pitcher. He was the opposing batter, a pinch-hitter whose day job is as a pitcher.

seawolf17 Aug 03 2006 10:56 AM

So you had a pitcher pinch-hitting for the pitcher, who got hit with a pitch, so he was replaced by a pitcher serving as a pinch-runner, who got replaced by another pitcher serving as a pinch-runner for the pinch-runner for the pitcher who was pinch-hitting but got hit by the pitch. Cool.

Yancy Street Gang Aug 03 2006 11:02 AM

That was overmanaging to a degree that I've never seen it. Last night's game, by the way, made me really feel old. I've seen players that looked young to me, but last night Joe Girardi, the Marlins' manager, looked young to me. Sheesh! Before I know it, the President of the United States will look young to me.

I like it too, though I don't understand the connection.

Vic Sage Aug 03 2006 11:18 AM

I just LOVE IT when the opposing manager not only takes the bat out of a hot hitter's hands by asking him to bunt, he then forces him to bunt with TWO STRIKES after already showing 2 badly executed bunt attempts! What a gift. Thanks, Joe! And here i didn't get you anything... i'm so embarrassed. That K turned the inning around for Wags and lead to a Mets victory. BIFL!!!
