ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:13 PM

David says, "Slump? What slump?" with a Grand Slam in the first inning!

TransMonk Aug 30 2006 09:14 PM

Monster? Box? I feel FOGGy.

With one swing, David is at .300 again and sitting on 100 rbi.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:15 PM

Porn Stash follows up with a solo homer. 5-0 in the first.

TransMonk Aug 30 2006 09:16 PM

Jose Valentin says, "Me too!" KABOOM! 5-0 Mets after 5 minutes.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:22 PM

The pitchers' best friend allows Dave Williams to escape the first inning unscathed.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:25 PM

Fogg looks terrible! He just walked Williams to start the 2nd inning, and that was his 3rd walk of the game!

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:30 PM

Fogg is out after 1.2 innings, behind 7-0 and responsible for a runner on first.

TransMonk Aug 30 2006 09:30 PM

4 out outing by Fogg. We'll see some Rocky Mountain relievers tonight. 7-0 Good guys...still top of two.

Hillbilly Aug 30 2006 09:35 PM

Wow, I can't even check out the start of the game without missing 7 runs. Aren't the Mets getting close to record territory concerning grand slams in season?

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:36 PM

Mr. Wright is still cursing out that slump talk as he drives in Beltran with a single. 8-0.

TransMonk Aug 30 2006 09:39 PM

Welcome back, Your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back, To that same old place that you laughed about. Well the names have all changed since you hung around, But those dreams have remained and they're turned around. Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya) Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya) Yeah we tease him a lot cause we've got him on the spot, welcome back, Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

MFS62 Aug 30 2006 09:40 PM

That makes two Mets now with over 100 RBI. Calling Mr. Delgado. Calling Mr. Delgado. Later

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:42 PM

Another inning, another DP for Mr. Williams.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:47 PM

Porn Stash goes yard again!

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 09:49 PM

M-T that bench now. Lo Duca, Beltran, Wright, Reyes, Delgado, sit.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 09:50 PM

DiFelice, Chavez, Woodward, Anderson, Franco, play.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:51 PM

Dave Williams has his first hit as a Met. Runners on 1st and 2nd, nobody out in the top of the 3rd.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 09:52 PM

Last night all nine starters hit. Tonight, it's everybody but Reyes and Green so far.

dinosaur jesus Aug 30 2006 09:53 PM

This is starting to get fun.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 09:54 PM

Good play by Choo Freeman catches a 410-foot fly by Reyes.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 09:55 PM

Mets are unashamed to tagg with a 9-0 lead.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 09:55 PM

Tucker scores on LoDuca's sac fly. 10-0. Gary and Keith are discussing the passing of former Mets trainer Tom McKenna. RIP Tom :(

Hillbilly Aug 30 2006 09:55 PM

Double digits is enough for me. Enjoy the rest of the blowout!

Rockin' Doc Aug 30 2006 09:59 PM

Going to need a lot of beer for this game. A keg might be in order for the POTG.

Choo Freeman scores the Rockies' first run of the game on a very wild pitch.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:15 PM

The Mets failed to score in the top of the 4th. Is that allowed? 10-1 going to the bottom of the 4th.

Rockin' Doc Aug 30 2006 10:18 PM

Thee goes the double digit lead. See what happens when Hillbilly bails on the team?

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:20 PM

Now it's 10-2 as Tucker misplays a ball into a triple (but there would have been an RBI on the hit regardless).

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:24 PM

Porn Stash just misses his third homer of the night.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:29 PM

Williams singles, and scores on Reyes' first hit of the night (we're not sure whether it's a double and error or a triple). Everyone hits - woo hoo!

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:31 PM

Oops - Williams failed to touch third, and his run is cancelled on the appeal play.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 10:32 PM

Hey, Dave Williams, that crap may fly in Pittsburgh. Not New York. Or Colorado. Denver. Whatever.

metsmarathon Aug 30 2006 10:34 PM

WOW, DW!

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:34 PM

Wright makes a beautiful play to get Barmes at first for the first out of the 5th inning. It'll be an ESPN Web Gem, mark my words!

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 10:35 PM

Just you and me, I think. Wright should maybe always field as if he has no time.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:40 PM

It's good company :)

Johnny Dickshot Aug 30 2006 10:41 PM

Missed the dave Williams play after his single. Wha'ppen?

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:44 PM

Delgado homers to bring the score to 11-2 once again.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:45 PM

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 10:54 PM

11-2 Mets after 6 innings. Williams has pitched the whole way so far. Way to keep the pen fresh!

Johnny Dickshot Aug 30 2006 11:06 PM

You can see what the Mets found attractive about Affeldt here.

dinosaur jesus Aug 30 2006 11:10 PM

That's enough, Kaz. You've made your point.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 11:11 PM

Reyes actually should have had a double with a base on an error, as it skimmed under the outfielder's glove. When the play was undone (Williams missed the bag by seven inches and was called out on appeal), the official scorer inexplicably downgraded Reyes' hit to a single.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 11:15 PM

According to Gary, who is a stickler for the rule book, it had to be scored a single under those circumstances.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 30 2006 11:18 PM

edgy has mail.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 11:24 PM

Williams is done after 7 innings. Bert comes in to pitch the 8th with an 11-3 lead.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 11:28 PM

They've had a mic on Torrealba all night. Before this game, I liked him. Now, I like him.

cooby Aug 30 2006 11:31 PM

Who would that be?

Edgy DC Aug 30 2006 11:34 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 31 2006 09:12 AM

Colorado catcher Yorvit Torrealba. I guess if Williams never reached third, Reyes can't reach second.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 30 2006 11:36 PM

Mota is coming in to pitch the 9th.

The uniforms the Rockies were wearing last night were the ugliest I've seen since the Astros wore those rainbow colors. Those white rings around the shoulders were especially girly. I didn't watch much of the game. Were the announcers answering e-mails again?

Yancy Street Gang Aug 31 2006 11:50 AM

Yes, even uglier than those. Those Padre uniforms were ugly, too, but they had some appeal. I liked the beige and green color scheme. It's just the camouflage pattern that was weird. But the Rockies thing last night was horrendous. I don't mind the vest look. It's not my favorite, but it usually looks okay. But a black vest, with girly white shoulders, over black shirts, was just plain hideous. If that look ever catches on I'll have to cancel my TV package and start listening to games on the radio again.

Edgy DC Aug 31 2006 11:53 AM

It does kill more than half the pooint of the vest if it doesn't contrast with the undersleeves.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2006 11:55 AM

="Edgy DC"]I guess if Williams never reached third, Reyes can't reach second. Yup, that's the thinking. Gary has an official scorer's book he's been poring over - and it says that if a runner is put out at 3rd by any method then the batter can't get credited with a double. In this case Williams never legally touched 3rd so Reyes can't be credited with a double. But also if a runner on 1st played it half-way on an OF fly which finally fell uncaught - and as a result gets tagged out at 3rd with the batter already standing on 2nd because he ran all the way ... it's still a single. If the out at 3rd is the 3rd out it's simply a single; and if it was a 1st or 2nd out I guess he gets credited w/a single plus 2nd on the throw. And if Williams had missed 2nd then Reyes doesn't get a hit at all. It's scored like it's a force play. Now THAT would suck for a rope into the gap. Keith was having stomach pains at the thought.

Maybe not exciting but not hideous. I prefer it to the puple. Speaking of which -- UniWatch broke news this week that the D-Baggs are ditching purple and will play in a "sandy type of red with black trim."

Willets Point Aug 31 2006 12:20 PM

Once upon a time, the rosters of teams were stable from year to year and fans became familiar with the players on their teams. Then free agency and increased trading came along adding frequent turnover to rosters so fans ended up rooting for the laundry. Now we've reached the point where the laundry is in a constant state of change as well.

So that puts an end to the awfulness that was the 1998 Expansion, with the Devil Rays rainbow-typeface long gone and the D-back's purple leaving.

Yancy Street Gang Aug 31 2006 01:27 PM

I like the sound of the Diamondbacks' change. I had no problem with the purple and teal, except that it didn't really fit with the snake and desert theme. It was more like they were trying to pick the trendy colors so they'd sell more merchandise. I can't picture a "sandy red" (unless they mean a clay color) but I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 31 2006 02:16 PM

Sandy red to me sounds like the Astros "brick" color, but I wish they'd stop pretending they don;t actually belong in orange.
