Three lefties and we do a complete Jacobsectomy in this series.

OlerudOwned Sep 13 2006 07:17 PM

Glavine gets Miggy to bounce back into a double play. 1-6-3

metirish Sep 13 2006 07:18 PM

Keith sounds a little under the weather,blocked nose sounds like.

TransMonk Sep 13 2006 07:28 PM

The Braves suck...so we wait at least another day to clinch. 6 - 5 Phillies Phinal in Game 1.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 07:31 PM

No chance to clinch tonight due to the Phuckin Phillies. It's scoreless in Florida after two innings.

If Mets win, Braves win the night cap and tomorow, the Mets could clinch without playing tomorow! I would not like that though. I much prefer watching a celebration rather than knowing that the players are doing it in the privacy of wherever they shall be watching the Phillies-Braves game tomorrow

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 07:44 PM

Whoa - Milledge just made a NICE diving catch!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 07:47 PM

Pedro is in the dugout, wearing Delgado's jersey and making muscles like he's a strong guy. It's too bad that Pedro is so shy - lol.

metirish Sep 13 2006 07:54 PM

Great play by Reyes to get Uggla at first.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 07:56 PM

Shit - 1-0 Fish on Willingham's double with an error to Reyes.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 07:57 PM

2-0 on Helms' sac fly :(

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 07:58 PM

"Triples" to left are signs of poor play. Reyes got the error, but that ball came out of the corner way slow. Kudos to Willingham for heads-up running.

Willets Point Sep 13 2006 08:02 PM

I don't know how many times this season I've gotten home, tuned into the game, said "hey Glavine's pitching," and then watch him get lit up like a firecracker. I must be bad karma for him.

Valadius Sep 13 2006 08:04 PM

I wouldn't necessarily call giving up two runs getting lit up like a firecracker. That's more Dave Williams territory. On edit: Ooooooh, I'm Bobby V!!!

Willets Point Sep 13 2006 08:14 PM

He usually settles down after I bitch about him. That's the other half of the karma. On edit: I'm still Tom Seaver!

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 08:17 PM

Hanley, you've run a long way just to go back to the bench. Hyeah!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 08:17 PM

Yes! Hanley Ramirez gets greedy trying to stretch a double into a triple, and Beltran's throw nails him at third for the third out of the inning!

metirish Sep 13 2006 08:17 PM

Holy crap that was some throw from Beltran to get Ramirez at thrid.

Willets Point Sep 13 2006 08:17 PM

Shhhhhhiiiiiiii....SWEET!

metirish Sep 13 2006 08:23 PM

The very lame poll question tonight is...."who is your fave Mets position player,Wright,Beltran,Delgado or Reyes"....Gary claims he's fasinated to find out the winner......mmmmmmmm

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 08:26 PM

Woo-Hoo! LoDuca's 2-RBI double ties the game!

Johnny Dickshot Sep 13 2006 08:27 PM

I will sing LoDuca's song.

Willets Point Sep 13 2006 08:27 PM

Lo Duc, Duc, Duc LoDuca Earl!

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 08:27 PM

Sleezy Slurps Schaefer --- Film at Eleven Hyeah!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 08:33 PM

Yes! Franco drives in LoDuca! Wright is called out at the plate to end the inning, but the Mets have a 3-2 lead.

Valadius Sep 13 2006 08:34 PM

Hooray for Dookie and the Old Fart!

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 08:34 PM

Nice inning! I'm off to read bedtime stories. I hope to come back downstairs to a larger lead.

OlerudOwned Sep 13 2006 08:35 PM

The Old Man with the RBI hit, so we can hold off on putting him in that crooked home we saw on 60 Minutes.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 13 2006 08:42 PM

Manny Acta doesn't look very smart now.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 08:42 PM

Damn - Willingham's 2-run homer gives the Fish a 4-3 lead :(

Valadius Sep 13 2006 08:43 PM

Durn it!

OlerudOwned Sep 13 2006 08:45 PM

Let's hope the comeback machine has more than one ready for today.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 08:46 PM

For the second time of the night, Milledge makes a nice diving catch.

Willets Point Sep 13 2006 08:47 PM

The ever-generous Glavine gives the lead back. Milledge makes a diving catch that he probably didn't need to dive for if he'd played the ball right. I'm grumpy.

Well, I have to say I like that they're bringing Olson back with 101 pitches on the odometer and the top of the order coming up. We've hit too many hard shots against him to not break through again this time.

First and third, one out. I want to see Mota get a big out in this situation before I put him on the postseason roster.

Welcome, #1sports Fan. Later

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 09:21 PM

Willingham just misses a 3-run homer. It's a game of inches.

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 09:22 PM

That's one, Guillermo. Get me one more.

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 09:23 PM

And as the infield meets at the mound, I'm hoping for a hidden-ball trick.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 09:24 PM

Whew - Reyes catches the popup to end the inning.

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 09:24 PM

Popped up to Reyes! (Who almost takes out the second base umpire, who needed to just get the hell out of the way.) Nice job, Mota!

TransMonk Sep 13 2006 09:25 PM

Damn, Mota is a gamer!

OlerudOwned Sep 13 2006 09:27 PM

Will we see Delgado hit for Franco?

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 09:28 PM

I guess not. Is he dinged up?

TransMonk Sep 13 2006 09:28 PM

Mota as a Met: 11 G, 11.2 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 3 BB, 16 K, 0.77 ERA

Switching the outfielders, cool. It's Davey Johnson time.

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 09:48 PM

You know? I guess I see where Willie's coming from. They really don't need to win tonight. You'd like to take two out of three, but you'd also like to see Ledee get a fucking hit once in a while. Me, I'd rather drop the fucking hammer on 'em and end the game. But they never even interviewed me before they hired Willie.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 09:51 PM

I think his thinking was that... oh, it's too complicated to explain. It involves quarks and wormholes and theoretical shit like that.

metirish Sep 13 2006 09:52 PM

I'll give Stephen Hawking a call to see what his theory is.

You'd like to take two out of three, but you'd also like to see Ledee get a fucking hit once in a while. The Mets don't need a win until September 29th. But I'd like to get some before then. Once they clinch, Willie can do whatever he wants. But taking care of the Marlins tonight eliminates them from the division and puts us that much closer to clinching. If it were Endy or Michael Tucker I would understand, but Ledee's not coming to the postseason with us. His role on the team is to enter the games when we're down by 6 or more runs early so that the starters are rested for the playoffs.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 10:05 PM

One hit --- an infield single --- off the Mets bullpen tonight.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 10:06 PM

Heilman is getting some beer tonight.

TransMonk Sep 13 2006 10:07 PM

The bullpen is my favorite part of the team lately. They have been excellent.

TheOldMole Sep 13 2006 10:12 PM

Green gets on, do you pinch hit for Ledee?

Zvon Sep 13 2006 10:12 PM

Valintin with a one out double in the 11th. bring him home Green!

Doesn't matter anyway. Whatever our preferences, there will be no clincher until Friday at the earliest.

Gwreck Sep 13 2006 11:33 PM

Fun game, but I'd personally like to know where Jerry Manuel was, when he very badly needed to smack Willie upside the head and remind him that Tucker, Green and Endy Chavez -- who was brought into the game regardless! -- should be used as pinch hitters before Ricky Ledee. I would've also pinch-hit for Ledee the second time (with Tucker). Also, what the hell was Heath Bell doing warming up? Would he have seriously come into the game if we hadn't taken the lead? Umm, Pedro Feliciano anyone?

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 11:51 PM

Endy Chavez was brought into the game regardless, but, had he pinch hit, it would have left the pitchers spot in the six hole (rather than the eighth slot), likely depriving Willy of getting a potential second innng out of Heilman.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 11:54 PM

The Fish had four righties coming up. Thus, Bell.

MFS62 Sep 14 2006 01:51 PM

Does giving up four runs in six innings, but only three of them earned, qualify as a "quality start"? Later

Yes.
