ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:08 PM

Darn. Reyes singles, but then gets picked off the bases :(

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:14 PM

Yes! After LoDuca pops up, Beltran walks and Delgado drives him home with a double over Jason Bay's head! 1-0 Mets :)

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:15 PM

Mr. Wright flies out to end the top of the first.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:21 PM

Keith is commenting how Pittsburgh is so much nicer now than when he was a player - there's so much more for people to do there now. So I'm thinking - is that his excuse for the cocaine? Boredom?

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:23 PM

El Duque has a 1-2-3 top of the first.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 07:24 PM

Here we go Metsies!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:31 PM

OMG! This is the Keystone Kops of Pittsburgh play! Mr. Green gets a misplayed bloop hit, and hustles to second. The throw to second is wild, allowing Green to get to third, with another bad throw. However, Porn Stash pops up, and now El Duque is at the plate.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:32 PM

El Duque grounds out to end the inning, stranding Green at third. But Green's hit will be on the highlight reel - it was comical.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:35 PM

Shit! Jason Bay homers to tie the game :(

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 07:35 PM

Bay Seasoning.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 07:36 PM

Dammit Dookay!!!

Ah, so he really is "Keef" then.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 07:40 PM

Is Ryan Doumit an alien? What the hell is wrong with his eyes?

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:45 PM

Gary and Keith are discussing the fried baloney sandwiches at PNC. Keith proclaims them "a heart attack on a plate," and worries whether the people who prepare them have washed their hands.

Elster88 Sep 16 2006 07:47 PM

Keith has sounded like he has a cold for a couple of days now.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 07:47 PM

Let's go Carlos!!!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:47 PM

He has had that cold for a few days. Meanwhile, Gary is very happy about Columbia's 37-7 win over Fordham today. Roar Lion Roar!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:49 PM

Delgado strikes out to end the top of the third, stranding LoDuca at second.

Elster88 Sep 16 2006 07:52 PM

A little Gregg Jefferies bashing in the booth. Always fun.

If not for Gregg Jefferies...

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 07:57 PM

...Met fans would bash Kevin Elster a lot more.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 07:57 PM

El Duque gets out of the bottom of the third. 1-1 going to the 4th.

I was completing the incomplete thought of Valadius above me. And I just know Valadius has a diaper on tonight.

Elster88 Sep 16 2006 08:00 PM

Right. But I don't follow why that complete statement would be true.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:01 PM

Man aboard for Cliffy.

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 08:06 PM

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 08:07 PM

Great battling by Cliffy. Pitch 14 coming.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:09 PM

Good job Cliffy, tire his ass out.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:11 PM

All right D-Wright! That's what you gotta do!!

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:13 PM

Porno Freak intentionally walked.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:15 PM

It's not Porno Freak. It's Porn Stash. Meanwhile, El Duque K's to end the inning. The Pirates' starter's night is probably done, though, since he's on a strict pitch count.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:19 PM

Come on X. You want that ring, don't you X? That's right, go down nice and easy...

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:21 PM

Fuck! Doumit knocks in Bay to make it 2-1 Pittsburgh :(

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:22 PM

Fucking Alien!!!!!!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:25 PM

El Duque K's the last two batters of the inning, but it's 2-1 Pirates heading to the 5th :(

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:26 PM

I'm getting my sweatshirt.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:29 PM

No, but it's my Mets sweatshirt, and I've got as much Mets gear on that I have with me here.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:31 PM

Oh no, not that post...

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:32 PM

Meanwhile, our sleazy catcher is on second with a ground rule double.

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 08:33 PM

What a golf job.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:33 PM

Way to go Dookie!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:35 PM

Yes - Delgado knocks in LoDuca (with the aid of a Nady bobble) to tie the game!

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 08:36 PM

Nady earning his playoff share.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:37 PM

There you go, X. Way to earn that ring, X. You want that ring, don't you X? Now screw up as best you can X. Gooooooood X.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:37 PM

Mr. Wright K's to end the inning.

KC Sep 16 2006 08:41 PM

There's some funny stuff in this igt.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:44 PM

Jack the Ugly up at bat.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:46 PM

Some nice Mets defense gets El Duque through the 5th quickly.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:48 PM

Come on Green Monster!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:53 PM

The Mets go down quickly and quietly in the 6th.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:54 PM

Now I'm getting my Mets pillow.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 08:56 PM

Does El Duque have to let the leadoff hitter on board EVERY FREAKIN' INNING?

Valadius Sep 16 2006 08:57 PM

Dookay! No more hits! Thank you.

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 08:59 PM

="Edgy DC"]Constant loop between innings on MLB.com A couplet from Tom Petty You keep running for another place To find that saving grace Great Petty tune. I've only heard it though MLB about 147 times, and I'm just now getting tired of it. At least when I hear that song 20 years from now it will give me memories of this season. BTW: It's Esteban Loiaza

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 09:06 PM

The Mets go down 1-2-3 in the top of the 7th. 2-2 going to the 7th inning stretch.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 09:07 PM

Dookay's let the leadoff man on in 4 out of 6 innings, the exceptions being the 1st and 3rd innings.

Valadius Sep 16 2006 09:08 PM

Let's all sing along!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 09:09 PM

Valadius wrote: Dookay's let the leadoff man on in 4 out of 6 innings, the exceptions being the 1st and 3rd innings. Dookay for El Duque (which is already a nickname) and Dookie for LoDuca are inherently confusing. It took me a while to figure out why you were blaming our catcher for letting the leadoff men aboard.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 09:10 PM

Sheesh! For the 4th consecutive inning, the leadoff man is on base!

OlerudOwned Sep 16 2006 09:12 PM

Caught him on the pitch-out! A bad slide and a good tag, 1 out.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 09:12 PM

At least the runner is caught stealing. Nice throw by LoDuca!

Valadius Sep 16 2006 09:13 PM

Good play Dookie!

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 09:14 PM

Let's be honest. He beat the throw and slid like a freak.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 09:16 PM

2-2 after Seven.

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 09:17 PM

And now, let us rally... O, Pirates, yes, they rob I Sold I to the merchant ships Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit But my hand was made strong By the hand of the Almighty We forward in this generation Triumphantly Wont you help to sing These songs of freedom? 'Cause all I ever have... Redemption songs Redemption songs Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Have no fear for atomic energy cause none of them can stop the time How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look? Ooh! Some say its just a part of it We've got to fulfil de book Wont you help to sing These songs of freedom? 'Cause all I ever have... Redemption songs Redemption songs

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 09:20 PM

Sending another lefty out. David, they don't respect you.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 16 2006 09:23 PM

Oh bother! The Mets go down quietly in the 8th :(

Elster88 Sep 16 2006 09:23 PM

Edgy, have your rally songs ever worked?

Can everyone view the Quicktime clips that Valadius posts? I can never view any of the Quicktime clips, I think it's due to the security software on my computer. The Mets are going to put this game away in the ninth.

OlerudOwned Sep 16 2006 09:38 PM

Mota and his powdered cap are out of the 8th. 9th inning we go. Lets make some use for these babies.

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she dances like she's never danced before That's the only other Pittsburgh-themed song I have. I'm not putting our rallies behind that, though. Isn't that really just another way of saying she dances like shit?

No champagne tonight - Randa's RBI ends the game :( To Elster - no, an infant can't appreciate the game. But his/her parents can. And finding a babysitter for an infant for the length of time it takes to get to and from a game and watch it can be prohibitive.

Gwreck Sep 16 2006 11:31 PM

CRAP! Quick 'n dirty highlights from Pittsburgh: PNC park is EVERYTHING it's cracked up to be, and more. Amazing park. Great views, great food options (Outback Steakhouse and Manny Sanguillen's Barbeque tonight, I'll have the Primanti Bros. tomorrow), friendly staff, tickets easily available and inexpensive (compared to Shea at least). Bobbleheads are given out to all fans, not just the 12-and-under set. Saw Omar M. walking across the Roberto Clemente bridge to the game, just like the rest of the fans. Said hi. Lots of Mets fans in the house, frequent and loud "Let's Go Mets" chants. Lots of Mets fans interacting with the players near the dugout during BP. They seemed to enjoy it. After Valentin's bunt and they brought in the righty, why did we stick with Franco and not go with a lefty pinch hitter?? We'll get them tomorrow!

Edgy DC Sep 16 2006 11:39 PM

Franco is pretty capable generally against righties. Randolph hasn't sent him up and pulled him after flipping the pitcher yet. I wasn't surprised he didn't tonight.
