Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 01:07 PM

ATLANTAW. Aybar 3b E. Renteria ss J. Francoeur rf A. Jones cf M. Diaz lf B. McCann c A. LaRoche 1b M. Prado 2b J. Smoltz p NEW YORK J. Reyes ss P. Lo Duca c C. Delgado 1b D. Wright 3b S. Green rf J. Valentin 2b M. Tucker lf E. Chavez cf D. Williams p No Beltran again. Game 2, perhaps?

Rotblatt Sep 06 2006 01:12 PM

Aybar singles to left. Is this the game that Williams finally turns into a pumpkin?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 01:18 PM

Braves get two on but fail to score in the first.

Rotblatt Sep 06 2006 01:18 PM

With two outs and Aybar on first, Williams hits Andrew with a U, then gets Diaz to line out to left.

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 01:18 PM

Williams gets Jones/A, side retired. Mets turn coming up, hopefully it's prettier than Monday.

MFS62 Sep 06 2006 01:18 PM

Its still 11:59 for Williams. Later

Does Smoltz have real stirrups on or striped socks? I can't tell because his pants are so low.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 01:24 PM

While Keith is praising Lo Duca, Smoltz throws a WP to advance Reyes to second.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 01:24 PM

Speaking of Lo Duca, who starts game 2? DiFelice or Stinnett? I'm hoping it's Kelly.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 01:26 PM

Lo Duca hit a little squib in front of the plate (a virtual bunt) but Jose doesn't advance to third. Could be costly with Delgado coming up with one out.

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 01:27 PM

Bah, someone get Reyes a coffee.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 01:30 PM

Delgado grounds to second, and now Reyes is on third, but with two out. Wright batting. And he grounds to third. No score after one.

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 01:33 PM

Ouch. McCann abused the first pitch he saw from Williams.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 06 2006 01:33 PM

Blech! McCann homers to give the Evil Braves a 1-0 lead :(

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 01:36 PM

Williams bounces back nicely.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 01:41 PM

Wow, with Smoltz pitching in Game 1, and Oliver Perez in Game 2, this isn't a promising afternoon for the Mets. I think I'll be very happy with a split.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 06 2006 01:41 PM

Yea! Porn Stash knocks in Mr. Green from first as Misspelled Andrew misplays the ball in center! 1-1.

Edgy DC Sep 06 2006 01:41 PM

One-one kids. Valentin, the superest scrap-heap pickup ever.

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 01:41 PM

Renteria trying to keep the sun out of the back of his neck. RBI Double for Valentin. The Secret 'Stache!

Zvon Sep 06 2006 01:44 PM

Williams has 3 strikeouts thu 2. He better lean on that curve ball cuz he aint gettin the fastball by em. A Green single and a Valentin double evens up the score. I love it when Andreugh Jones bobbles a ball. Smoltz has 2 wild pitches today. He had 2 wild pitches all season coming into this game.

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 01:47 PM

Two out with Valentin on 3rd. Williams will try to take the lead into his own hands.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 01:50 PM

Forgive my ignorance, but... What's so pornographic about Valentin's mustache? What kind of mustache wouldn't be considered a porn-stache? Maybe I need to start watching porn so I'd understand this stuff. I haven't seen a porno movie since I was in high school!

Edgy DC Sep 06 2006 01:52 PM

I haven't seen a high school since I was in a porno movie. A agree that his moustache isn't something I'd so qualify.

Well, as I said, I have only been told about porno staches. And his looks like it qualifies to me. Porno is in the eye of the beholder, or so sayeth the Supreme Court. :) Later

Dayum, Keith ripping into Angel Hernandez right now. "Arrogant", "Macho". Let 'em have it!

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 02:34 PM

Being a boy named Angel is probably only a little bit easier than being a boy named Sue. Braves down in order in the 6th, still 1-1. John Smoltz has even less hair than I do.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 06 2006 02:35 PM

Read were Giambi shaved during last night's game. Mustaches are hot again, btw. maybe not where you are but in W-burg it's like, the thing all of a sudden.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 02:40 PM

Delgado 2-run homer. 3-1 Mets.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 06 2006 02:40 PM

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 02:43 PM

I step out for 2 minutes to let the dog outside...and miss a home run. Wunderbar.

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 02:44 PM

Green's bat is coming alive today, a double off the wall. Valentin will get a free base.

Zvon Sep 06 2006 02:44 PM

Green almost launches one! Hits it half way up the wall in right and he slides in safe with a double. Smoltzie struggling----I like.

Willets Point Sep 06 2006 02:47 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 06 2006 02:48 PM

Speaking of moutaches, Tucker's just looks like a tiny, hairy dot sitting on his upper lip.

Zvon Sep 06 2006 02:48 PM

Braves broadcasters say Michael Tucker hit the 1st home run ever at Turner Field. I did not know that. :)

Speaking of the new Met ball park under construction they said: "Itll be a nice park, for about a week."

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 02:54 PM

Gary was thinking that Willie wouldn't pinch-hit for Dave Williams with two out and three on and a 3-1 lead, but Ledee is going to hit. Williams only threw 70-something pitches over 6 innings. Willie trusts his bullpen, and he has good reason to.

Yeah, just a cheapshot based on the Mets historic poor performance in the House of Horrors. And now I'm off to the library services desk where I won't be able to sneakily watch/listen to this game. :(

metirish Sep 06 2006 02:56 PM

]Speaking of the new Met ball park under construction they said: "Itll be a nice park, for about a week." bloody wankers

Zvon Sep 06 2006 02:56 PM

Leedee hits it hard, but right to Prado at 2nd. Ricky could use a mustache, or something. Feliciano was up, so I guess he's in.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 06 2006 02:58 PM

And he is.

Rotblatt Sep 06 2006 02:59 PM

I don't think I like pinch hitting for Williams there, but our bullpen IS pretty darn good . . . Still, the dude's been on fire and I'd be tempted to see how much he had left.

metirish Sep 06 2006 03:00 PM

Hardly makes a difference as Williams is a long shot for the post-season roster.

Edgy DC Sep 06 2006 03:00 PM

Not as long a shot as Ledee.

Give it up for Pedro Feliciano and his 1 point eighty freakin two ERA.

Edgy DC Sep 06 2006 03:05 PM

Tyler Yates is still working with the same MLB.com mug shot that he opened 2005 with.

I think these guys have more of a problem with Met fans as opposed to the team. Wonder where we got that rep?

Edgy DC Sep 06 2006 03:07 PM

"Pedro Felicity has secured some serious spottage on el post-season roster." --- Pauly Shore

Johnny Dickshot Sep 06 2006 03:09 PM

He disdains the mustaches-are-hot fashion and instead relies on the strategically placed triangular beardspot, which distracts hitters.

cooby Sep 06 2006 03:11 PM

And turns off women

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 03:12 PM

The quickly-turned-around Mota will get a chance to set up Wagner here.

Edgy DC Sep 06 2006 03:12 PM

The thing about Pedro, Paulie, is that you look at that tiny ERA and think, "Yeah, but he joined the team late and they've picked his spots." But he's thrown 53.1 innings. That's 84% of the workload Billy Wagner has gotten. Though he doesn't get the high-leverage spots that Wagner has, that's awesome.

Zvon Sep 06 2006 03:13 PM

Willie opts to go with a pitcher with more facial hair in the 8th, and Mota gets the call.

seawolf17 Sep 06 2006 03:13 PM

And Mota is still shown in an Indians cap. Does no one in major league baseball own a digital camera?

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 03:14 PM

If it's really true that Mota's entire problem was standing on the wrong side of the rubber, the Cleveland pitching coach must be pretty embarassed.

Centerfield Sep 06 2006 03:14 PM

I think Pedro's ERA can be attributed, at least partly, to Bradford's propensity to strand the runners Pedro leaves on base.

OlerudOwned Sep 06 2006 03:17 PM

Aaaaand off comes Green's hat!

Zvon Sep 06 2006 03:18 PM

Centerfield wrote: I think Pedro's ERA can be attributed, at least partly, to Bradford's propensity to strand the runners Pedro leaves on base. Bradford has cleaned up after him many time, especially early on. Willie has flip flopped that afew times and I have seen Felice clean up after Bradford, but not as much.

MFS62 Sep 07 2006 10:11 AM

Did anyone hear Howie Rose's radio call of Green's first homer as a Met? When it went over the wall, Howie said "Zei Gazunt", which roughly translated from Yiddish means "that is good". I bet he had that line warming up in the bullpen from the day the Mets got Green. Later

Yancy Street Gang Sep 07 2006 10:15 AM

I wonder if he said ii desu for Kaz Matsu's first Mets homer. That, also, means, "It is good."
