Maine gets the start over Trachsel today.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:38 PM

Play ball! Reyes lines out to start things off.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:39 PM

Endy Chavez gets aboard with a single! Here comes Beltran.

OlerudOwned Sep 17 2006 01:41 PM

Liner by Beltran, but Duffy is there. Suxx.

Zvon Sep 17 2006 01:44 PM

Reyes almost got a hold a one. I was thinkin leadoff triple. Bay tracks it down in left. Chavez with an infield single. Beltran lines out hard to center. Chavez takes off as Delgado grounds out. Maine takes the mound.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:47 PM

Here comes the New England Cowboy on to pitch.

OlerudOwned Sep 17 2006 01:50 PM

Maine, this isn't how you pitch your way into the postseason rotation. I have 2 TVs going here, with the Giants-Eagles and Mets-Pirates.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:50 PM

Oh come on!!! Arrrrrrrrgh!!!

OlerudOwned Sep 17 2006 01:51 PM

C'mon David, use your head!

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:52 PM

Dammit David!

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:53 PM

You better get the Alien out, Cowboy.

After Bay sacrifices himself, Maine with an errant pickoff to first. Delgado really should have handled that throw, and it goes for a two base error. Dont know yet who got the error. Nady continues to work for his ring as he quells the rally. But the Bucs are up 2-0.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:59 PM

Okay now, X. You want that ring, don't you X? Goooooood X.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:59 PM

Delgado charged with the error.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 01:59 PM

Wright singles to center, Dumbo at the plate.

Stinnett at the plate now with two outs.

Willie loves his MFY castoffs.

And wash it down with some of Pittsburgh's finest

Valadius Sep 17 2006 02:22 PM

The Ugly Fuckling is up at bat.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 02:27 PM

I think we should start Endy more often.

Zvon Sep 17 2006 02:29 PM

Endy with his second infield single. He was flyin down the 1st base line. Beltran, with 2 outs, draws the walk. Daddy Delgado up.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 02:30 PM

Beltan walks, here's Delgado.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 02:32 PM

Dammit Delgado!!

Valadius Sep 17 2006 02:33 PM

Where, oh where has our offense gone Oh where, oh where can it be...

Sports suck today. I should go back to bed.

Hit the godamn ball on the ground, Jose!

Zvon Sep 17 2006 02:58 PM

Chavez is 3 for 3- hes set the table for Beltran yet again. UGH! Beltran wiffs.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 02:58 PM

At least Endy's getting on base.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 02:59 PM

What is going on with our offense??

Valadius Sep 17 2006 03:06 PM

I wanna see SOMETHING out of this lineup now.

Zvon Sep 17 2006 03:06 PM

Maine with a 1-2-3 fifth. Time to break out the hittin sticks you guys.

Zvon Sep 17 2006 03:10 PM

Crappiolla.

Edgy DC Sep 17 2006 03:16 PM

Hey Mets, Hit. Thank you.

TransMonk Sep 17 2006 03:18 PM

Alright: Milledge, Stinnett, Franco...prove your worth!

Milledge should be playing against lefties every day until the end of the season.

Zvon Sep 17 2006 03:22 PM

Ill take that lil squibbly hit by Milledge. Stinnett up-- wiff. :/ LoDuca gonna pinch hit.

TransMonk Sep 17 2006 03:23 PM

Who'll love LoDuca, who'll sing his song? I will love LoDuca and his song!

LoDuca is a tough out.

ew--that was a strike Jose---sit down.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 03:28 PM

Dammit Jose!!!!

Edgy DC Sep 17 2006 03:28 PM

Jose throwing a fit. Mets are as frustrated as Met fans.

TheOldMole Sep 17 2006 03:30 PM

What's Reyes doing taking a called 3rd strike?

Zvon Sep 17 2006 03:31 PM

Chavez almost gets his 4th hit of the day--but no go. Strands two as Sanchez nabs his grounder for the force.

TransMonk Sep 17 2006 03:33 PM

Duke should be done for the day at least. Two innings against the Bucs' bullpen.

Zvon Sep 17 2006 03:33 PM

Nady should be encouraged. Buccos have some players to build a team on.

SteveJRogers Sep 17 2006 03:50 PM

Valadius Sep 17 2006 03:51 PM

Bench the Carloses, Willie. Just bench them. Maybe then they'll have some motivation not to get out all the damn time.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 03:52 PM

Now hopefully Dumbo doesn't screw this up.

Edgy DC Sep 17 2006 03:52 PM

Wright tagging a lefty. Improtant step to righting this show. I'll take it.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 03:54 PM

And Dumbo fucked it up.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 04:00 PM

At this point, I wouldn't be averse to the thought of Willie running out there to pinch-hit if it meant that we'd score some damn runs.

Zvon Sep 17 2006 04:00 PM

Well, we all know, for us Met fans,...... "Nothing Is Easy" Nothing is easy. Though time gets you worrying my friend, it's o.k. Just take your life easy and stop all that hurrying, be happy my way. When tension starts mounting and you've lost count of the pennies you've missed, just try hard and see why they're not worrying me, they're last on my list. Nothing's easy. Nothing is easy, you'll find that the squeeze won't turn out so bad. Your fingers may freeze, worse things happen at sea, there's good times to be had. So if you're alone and you're down to the bone, just give us a play. You'll smile in a while and discover that I'll get you happy my way -- nothing's easy. JETHRO TULL 1969- Stand Up! Stand up-unite-assemble!

TransMonk Sep 17 2006 04:02 PM

Alright! Milledge, Stinnett, Ledee...prove your worth...ah, nevermind.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 04:04 PM

I will be angry if Willie doesn't pinch-hit for Stinnett.

Zvon Sep 17 2006 04:04 PM

Good idea Milledge--swing at the 1st pitch--UGH!

Valadius Sep 17 2006 04:06 PM

Thugmaster at the plate.

TransMonk Sep 17 2006 04:07 PM

Holy crap! Ledee got a hit!

Valadius Sep 17 2006 04:07 PM

Thank you, Thugmaster!!!

Edgy DC Sep 17 2006 04:08 PM

Boogers.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 04:08 PM

And Jose fucks it all up. Sigh...

Zvon Sep 17 2006 04:09 PM

Well Ill be darned. Swept in Pittsburg. Phils are winning but Huston is trying to comeback. Going into the 8th there.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 17 2006 04:15 PM

If I'm managing against the Mets in the NLDS, every game will be started by a lefty. Even if I have to press an outfielder into service.

Valadius Sep 17 2006 04:16 PM

Farmer Ted Sep 17 2006 08:05 PM

Just back from PNC and I have to say, it sucked. They played like shit. I admit, since buying the tix a few weeks ago, we were hoping this would be clinch day. The losses the past two nights, coupled with Philly's wins, put smiles on our faces. A bit selfish, but this could've been a special day. There were 34,000 announced and prolly 15-20 percent Mets fans. A lot of NY and NJ plates in the parking garage across the river. It was my first time to the park and like everyone says, it's gorgeous. Only two slight negatives...the main concourse is a bit narrow and the jumbotron was too small. The Primanti Brothers sandwich stand was awesome. Mrs. Ted/Sponge noticed that half the people rooting for Pittsbugh were grossly overweight, the other half looked like they lived in double-wides. The PGH fans in our section were complimentary toward the Mets and were well behaved. The Mets fans, of course, were beautiful. I hope the Mets brass spent the weekend at PNC looking around.

cleonjones11 Sep 17 2006 10:48 PM

Our family rates heavy Pennsylvania people by Hershey kisses. Very obese is 5 kisses for example. Actually the entire USA is at about 3 1/2 kisses. For the love of God please let our new stadium have something to eat other than cold Nathans hot dogs and sub-par Premio sausage...

Johnny Dickshot Sep 17 2006 10:52 PM

Hey Ted, Wifey wants to know if you brought Little Sponge-ette along.

cleonjones11 Sep 17 2006 10:52 PM

Shawn Green needs his steroids back. Keith Hernandez trashed him yesterday. "He has zero bat speed" Funnier yet in the 6th inning Hernandez asked when the car service was coming but mentioned unlike when he played ... Pittsburgh had real restaurants he could go to. I laughed my ass off...

Gwreck Sep 18 2006 01:11 AM

The guy from SNY was putting in Keith's order at Primanti's when we were getting our sandwiches there this afternoon. This game sucked. Result aside, using Ledee (when Green and Floyd are on the bench) is giving up.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2006 09:03 AM

I assume Floyd was being held to pinch-hit for Chavez if Reyes got on and they needed a three-run crown. But, yeah, Willie always seems under-aggressive when it comes to ninth-inning catch-up substituting.

Farmer Ted Sep 18 2006 09:29 AM

Yeah, we took Baby Ted. She's almost a year old so this was a big measuring stick for us. We bought three seats knowing we'd need the extra space...that was a good call. She was grumpy for the first inning so I put her in the Bjorn and walked along the concourse so she could sleep and I could still watch the game. I spent the first four innings on my feet but it was cool. After that, she sat in her seat, ate snacks and played with her Pirate Parrot doll (it was giveaway day). We started leaving after the Mets 8th and watched the final six outs on the exting concourse. It was a good day but I could see how brutal it could have been if she was younger. Weather was great. We'll send the Dickshots some snapshots.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 18 2006 09:50 AM

Younger is easier. Once they can move around on their own is when things become trickier. I'm glad you had a good time at the game with your daughter. I hope that you took lots of pictures :)

cooby Sep 18 2006 11:22 AM

That is the same game we were going to go to and didn't. That is funny, there would have been a whole mess of us there

Edgy DC Sep 18 2006 11:29 AM

Is "mess" the actual correct collective noun for Cranepoolers?

cooby Sep 18 2006 11:30 AM

I think so, yes
