Worries.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2006 01:28 PM

This O'Connor guy skunked us back in [url=http://www.ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=7086]early May[/url] Faced off against Maine that day too.

KC Sep 23 2006 01:45 PM

Maine cruising through two.

KC Sep 23 2006 01:58 PM

Maine cruising through three.

metirish Sep 23 2006 02:05 PM

I just can't listen to the two idiots doing the game,who's the PbP guy?

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 02:17 PM

Loaded and 2 out for the Gnats. C'mon, Maine.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 02:19 PM

A walk. Dammit.

KC Sep 23 2006 02:23 PM

Coupla walks a hit and HBP and it's Warshingtun 1, Mets sniffle. Maine couldn't find the plate for shit after looking great through the first three.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 02:43 PM

Dear Mets, Please stop this "not hitting well" thing. -OO Dear John Maine, Please stop this madness -OO kthxbye

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 03:01 PM

6 run inning, including a Wright homer. At home! Against a lefty! (How ya feelin', Edgy?) I guess they got the message. EDIT: Oh wait, the inning isn't over. Duh. And here's a kablam for Wright.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 03:05 PM

Green with his second hit of the inning. 1st and 3rd for Lastings, making a play for the post-season 25.

Valadius Sep 23 2006 03:05 PM

MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 03:08 PM

Milledge hits one well, but Soriano is right there. Not that I'm complaining. 6-4 Burros

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 03:26 PM

Is that really Lou Pinella sounding like an old drunk?

KC Sep 23 2006 03:30 PM

I've been biting my tounge since 1:20, but yes, it is.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 03:36 PM

Bringing your dog to a baseball game just doesn't seem like it's worth it.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 03:37 PM

Even Red-Hot Mota can't stop Soriano. Did that ball land yet?

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 03:54 PM

If and when we go shopping for a secondbaseman this off-season, please remind the Mets that Vidro can't field anymore. He perhaps is one of the few secondbasemen in the league that shouldn't send Soriano to the outfield.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 03:56 PM

Big insurance inning for the Mets. Woodward and Reyes each drive runs in. 9-5

TheOldMole Sep 23 2006 03:56 PM

I love to see those runs crossing the plate.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 04:01 PM

Next fight I get in, I want a guy named Nook Logan to have my back.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 04:05 PM

That's Paulie's first Kabluca in about four months.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 04:06 PM

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 04:08 PM

Ouch. Nick Johnson is down. Kearns and Johnson are both large men, and they hit each other hard.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 04:11 PM

Doesn't look good for Johnson. I hate that.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 04:13 PM

Being carted off right now. Talented guy, horribly snakebitten. Hope it's nothing serious.

martin Sep 23 2006 04:13 PM

ouch, that looks painful, maybe a broken shin?

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 04:13 PM

And if Pinella makes one more "Let's hope he just got the wind knocked out" comment...

KC Sep 23 2006 04:14 PM

Johnson need to be strapped up and carried off, hate to see that stuff.

TheOldMole Sep 23 2006 04:16 PM

I just came back in, and he's being lifted onto a stretcher. What happened?

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 04:16 PM

Oh damn. That knee does not look like the way a knee should. And yeah, I really wish Pinella would shut up. They don't get the stretcher when someone gets their wind knocked out, you blathering moron.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 04:17 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 23 2006 04:19 PM

Pop-fly collision between Kearns and Johnson. Looks like a broken leg, which is probably good news*. *They hit head-to-head.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 04:18 PM

Look at Kearns, blaming himself.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 04:19 PM

Kearns and Wright both look pretty torn up about this and the look on Johnson's face is painful. This ain't good.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 04:23 PM

Holy Jesus what a catch by Zimmerman.

martin Sep 23 2006 04:25 PM

zimmerman is miked up, i would like to hear that play.

Valadius Sep 23 2006 04:29 PM

How awesome is this game? [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cVlbIWq1EA]Let's keep this up!!![/url]

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 04:32 PM

I think Tim Welke has a dinner reservation. Two bad punchouts.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2006 04:40 PM

Wagner only gives up hits & runs in crucial situations.

Valadius Sep 23 2006 04:41 PM

Now Billy, I know you've got a big lead, but please close out the game already!

Valadius Sep 23 2006 04:43 PM

Thank you.

KC Sep 23 2006 04:49 PM

Mets hold on and win 12-6. Some odd stuff today ... - Reyes gets thrown out trying to steal second on a foul out to the catcher. I was disappointed that FOX didn't show one freakin' replay of the slide and tag - unless my memory is off. Not sure if I've ever seen that before. - Lou Freakin' Pinella needs the production staff to break out the rule book and tell him why a runner advances after a player goes into the stands to catch a foul ball. I think they got the call wrong, but Boo on Lou ... managers who are lauded as big time winners should know shit like that. - The Nick Johnson play, he went a long way for that ball. Kearns looked like it really shook him up.

Gwreck Sep 23 2006 06:19 PM

Fick came right out to play first but Kearns stayed out there for a minute or two longer before getting taken out too. The Mets shut off all the music, scoreboard animations, stupid "ev'rybody clap yo' hands" etc. after the injury. Notably no Enter Sandman playing. Music returned as they won with Taking Care of Business.

metirish Sep 23 2006 06:44 PM

I hate him but Fox sports apparently love him, I hope he's not doing any Mets playoff games altough I fear he will be.

metirish Sep 23 2006 09:30 PM

So Johnson has a fractured right leg,not good,get well soon.

martin Sep 23 2006 10:13 PM

i thought he broke his lower leg, but he broke his femur! eek, that hurts, i think the femur is the biggest fattest strongest bone we gots. he must have really punished his leg to snap that thing. vidro claims he heard it snap, i bet that wasnt pleasing. i guess that was why he was signaling for help even as he was fielding the ball.

OlerudOwned Sep 23 2006 10:16 PM

That guy has legs like redwoods, how he managed to break his femur of all bones is amazing. And awful.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 10:18 PM

I was thinking, "Jeez, Dave, show some class and stop at second. If the last standing fielder is calling for help and all..." Not really fair, I guess.

Gwreck Sep 23 2006 10:59 PM

I too was surprised by Wright not stopping at second. If some blame falls to Wright some should also fall to Manny Acta (who's supposed to be watching the play instead of just running) for not stopping him.

My wife was watching the game with me when Johnson went down and when he rolled over and the lower leg just kind of flopped we both looked at each other and said 'broken femur' 5 years ago when our 7 year old was 2 he broke his femur when our dog, Mookie, ran fullspeed into him. When I picked my son up off the ground his leg from the knee down was just sort of hanging and flopping. We'd thought he'd ripped ligaments in his knee but ultimately it was the femur. Yup - biggest bone in the body. Our son had to be put in almost a full body cast (from his chest down both legs) to ensure that he kept his hips immobilized. 9 weeks before that cast came off. Ugh. I don't know if keeping the hips immobile is as much of a concern for an adult so maybe Johnson just gets one leg in a cast. in any case its a nasty, nasty injury.

Frayed Knot Sep 24 2006 11:25 AM

Usually with a broken bone the idea is to immobilize the next highest joint - which is obviously the hip in this case. Whatever the case, this isn't going to be a fun time for Mr. Johnson. He's been spooked by injuries during his short career to date.
