I've never looked forward to a game more than this one, Lets go Mets.

Rockin' Doc Oct 15 2006 06:29 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Oct 15 2006 09:18 PM

After the Mets win this game they will be fine. They just need 5-6 decent innings from Perez and they should be in good shape. I feel pretty good that the Mets will batter Anthony Reyes.

metirish Oct 15 2006 06:32 PM

Yeah good point Doc, I can't imagine St.Loius fans are not worried about who's starting for them.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 07:02 PM

ScarletKnight41 Oct 15 2006 07:30 PM

No - it's a night game. The only day game this week was supposed to be Wednesday, but I'm assuming that's going to be changed now that the ALCS is over.

metirish Oct 15 2006 07:30 PM

It's at 8:19.

Thanks Irish and Gwreck :)

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 07:46 PM

Kind of weird to think there are no more Oots this season.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 07:48 PM

Yeah, that is strange.

Its kind of weird, though IIRC not the first time (I'm thinking both 99 and 00 were all night starts), that the Mets will not play an afternoon/early evening LCS game and only one such game in the entire postseason with Game 1 of the DS

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 07:53 PM

Ken Rosenthal reports that Cliff may be ready to start in Game 5.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 07:53 PM

Maybe THAT will do something for this offense.

cooby Oct 15 2006 07:55 PM

I thought this game started at 7

metirish Oct 15 2006 07:55 PM

Eric Byrnes has a terrible hair style.....although he gets a reprieve by picking the Mets to win the series.

SteveJRogers Oct 15 2006 07:57 PM

Right! And I was there as well! (shakes head at bad memory) Why did I think it was a night start? Geez, would have been a very wee-hour of the morning finish!

Valadius Oct 15 2006 07:58 PM

Let's Go Mets!!!

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:00 PM

LGM! Oliver Perez is the man of the hour!

cooby Oct 15 2006 08:01 PM

I've got a good feeling about Oliver Perez! I don't know why, just a hunch, but my hunches are often right!

I got a good feeling about Cooby's hunch...

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:04 PM

Perez shall channel Pedro tonight.

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:05 PM

Let's go Ollie!

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:05 PM

I have a good feeling about metirish having a good feeling about coobys hunch.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:05 PM

Time to get revenge for taking our theme song!!!

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:06 PM

I liked the idea that someone gave that Oliver Perez will come up large in the NLCS like Timo Perez came up ig in the NLCS six years ago.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:07 PM

Let's

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:08 PM

GO

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:08 PM

METS

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:10 PM

Ommmmmmmm...calling the offense.....ommmmmmmm...are you alive?

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:11 PM

Well this pitcher is sufficiently wild.

Edgy DC Oct 15 2006 08:12 PM

This is an interesting first inning. All three have so far taken at least one strike. It's like they want to get a look at his stuff, and then jump on him.

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:14 PM

I noticed that too. It looks like they are stepping out a lot too. Maybe trying to prevent Reyes from finding his groove.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:14 PM

Come on Carlos, CRUSH THIS BALL!!!

metirish Oct 15 2006 08:15 PM

Back to back walks....come on Wright,time for a hit.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:15 PM

Come on David, CRUSH THIS BALL!!!

Edgy DC Oct 15 2006 08:15 PM

OK, when I snap my fingers, David Wright will turn into a ball-battering monster.

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:16 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Oct 15 2006 08:16 PM

that 3-0 pitch to Delgado-----DAYM--that looked phat. COME ON DAVEY

A Boy Named Seo Oct 15 2006 08:16 PM

Hurry up and snap.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:18 PM

Mookie!!!

metirish Oct 15 2006 08:18 PM

Well that sucked....

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:19 PM

Mookie looking sharp.

Edgy DC Oct 15 2006 08:19 PM

I just couldn't snap. I had this greasy sandwich for supper.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:19 PM

Stop trying to knock every pitch out. Line drives are what I want to see.

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:20 PM

Lets go Oliver!

A Boy Named Seo Oct 15 2006 08:20 PM

Raise your hand if you thought Reyes would throw an offspeed pitch on 3-2 after walking the last two guys. That kid's got stones.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:20 PM

I hate squandering opportunities, but I like that the hitters are being more patient. 26 pitches for Reyes in the first inning...good.

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:20 PM

The moment of truth for Cousin Oliver.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:22 PM

Throw strikes!!!

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:22 PM

I cant sit thru another walk fest--find that plate Perez

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:22 PM

A hit fest isnt too appealing either.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:23 PM

Why can't WE hit line drives???

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:24 PM

Valetin can cover some ground!

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:25 PM

I might be upset that they're using "Taking Care of Buisness" but if they want to keep "Ev'rybody clap yo' hands" that's just fine by me.

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:26 PM

Delgado, you butter fingers!

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:26 PM

OH! what a play by Reyes! We had Pujols---DELGADO!

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:26 PM

Oh Geez, we don't need this shit!

metirish Oct 15 2006 08:27 PM

Not what Perez needed....great play by Jose.

Edgy DC Oct 15 2006 08:28 PM

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:28 PM

whew. 0-0 after one

metirish Oct 15 2006 08:28 PM

Good, a double play and the Mets are out of trouble....

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:28 PM

Sweet! Nice job OLIVER!!!!!

ScarletKnight41 Oct 15 2006 08:28 PM

Whew!

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:29 PM

Runs! Now!

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:29 PM

Now where'd find that image, Edgy?

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:30 PM

I'm counting on some big rally-killing Ks or GIDPs from Encarnacion tonight.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:30 PM

I can deal with this on defense. But our offense needs to get going NOW.

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:30 PM

I never thought Reyes had a chance getting Pujols at first after that ball hit of Wrights glove---and Jose could have had him by a full stride. Incredible.

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:31 PM

Okay--it starts here, with Green. Go Green!

Edgy DC Oct 15 2006 08:32 PM

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:33 PM

The Green Monster looks so stiff out there.

Edgy DC Oct 15 2006 08:34 PM

Camn we stay with that shot of Cliff Floyd drooling sunflower seeds a few minutes longer? Hey, no more putouts for Edmonds!

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:34 PM

I think they need to stop hit hard hit flys to center.

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:34 PM

There are too many Reyes in this game.

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:36 PM

Willets Point wrote: There are too many Reyes in this game. I agree- one too many.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:37 PM

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED!!!

ScarletKnight41 Oct 15 2006 08:37 PM

If nothing else, Endy's single clears the pitcher's spot.

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:37 PM

Way to clear the pitcher. Clap, Clap

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:37 PM

Valadius wrote: THAT'S WHAT WE NEED!!! a third Reyes?

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:38 PM

Even if Oliver doesn't do shit here, the hit by Endy was big. Reyes has thrown a lot of pitches already -- they've seen his stuff -- and I think they can really get it going with the top of the order next inning.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:38 PM

Walk Perez!!!!!

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:39 PM

Yea--walk him Red Reyes !

metirish Oct 15 2006 08:39 PM

Nice....

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:39 PM

YES!!! Let's go Goggles!!!

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:39 PM

hellzyea

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:39 PM

Nice how about some unlikely two out thunder!!

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:40 PM

Duncan comes out to talk to A. Reyes. I'll put the over/under at coaching visits to mound at 10.5 tonight.

A Boy Named Seo Oct 15 2006 08:40 PM

Who is Goggles?

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:41 PM

C'mon Reyes! Um, I mean our Reyes!

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:41 PM

Reyes being dangerous with Reyes. If he times that inside off speed stuff, and turns on it---KA.......

metirish Oct 15 2006 08:43 PM

Nice that we are working reyes hard but can we please get a hit with men on base....

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:43 PM

Thwarted again!

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:43 PM

Goggles

Edgy DC Oct 15 2006 08:43 PM

Hey, Reyes, make him get you out with a strike tonight.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:46 PM

That's a horrible pickoff move.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:46 PM

Anyone know who's on Omar's left? Is that Bernazard?

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:49 PM

Come on Perez!!!

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:49 PM

That 0-1 to Belliard sure looked like a strike.

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:50 PM

HOW DOES BELTRAN NOT CATCH THAT!@#$%^&*()

metirish Oct 15 2006 08:50 PM

I thougth Beltran had that..looked like he got a bad jump on the ball?

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:50 PM

Oh, how this series would be different if we could have made those catches...

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:51 PM

Bugger all.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:52 PM

Fuck.

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:52 PM

ugh! MOLINA--UNFREAKINBELIEVEBLE

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:52 PM

I don't think it's a good thing that Oliver is asking so quickly for the ump to check the checked swings...

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:53 PM

That out at 3rd is huge

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 08:53 PM

At least we got an out of all this.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:53 PM

The next out is bigger.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:53 PM

Is it just me or has David been "just a couple inches" away from that ball down the line all year?

Valadius Oct 15 2006 08:54 PM

Yeah. Certainly during the postseason.

Zvon Oct 15 2006 08:56 PM

Gwreck wrote: Is it just me or has David been "just a couple inches" away from that ball down the line all year? ...its a game of inches. If that pitcher Reyes had gotten a hit I would have left the building.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 08:57 PM

A. Reyes has thrown 52 pitches through 2 innings. It's time we start getting hits here.

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 08:57 PM

I think this is our inning, Met fans

Valadius Oct 15 2006 09:00 PM

I dunno, but I want to see Looper tonight.

Pour it on NOW!!!!

metirish Oct 15 2006 09:00 PM

Zvon that's my fave one you have ever done....good work.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 09:01 PM

My understanding is that Looper is the long man.

Gumby, eh? Let's go Gumby!!!

Willets Point Oct 15 2006 09:03 PM

I'll take it. I hope we start getting line drives too, but I'll take it.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 09:03 PM

I distinctly heard some "Let's Go Mets!" chants after the Wright homer. Good.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 09:04 PM

I did too.

Zvon Oct 15 2006 09:04 PM

yes---some fireworks. Damn, we needed that. 2-1 METS!

Valadius Oct 15 2006 09:09 PM

1 away.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 09:11 PM

It's ok, that walk was just to set up the DP.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 09:11 PM

SHIT. Throw some strikes dammit!!!

I'd give a double and an error. That was poor by Green.

NLCS triples: Encarncion: 2 Spezio: 2 Reyes: 0

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 09:15 PM

Lets get that run back!

Rockin' Doc Oct 15 2006 09:16 PM

Well, so much for shuttinig down the opposition after getting a lead. The same problem the team had in the second game of the NLCS. Every time the offense would score, the pitcher would cough up a few runs.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 09:16 PM

No, Reyes hit one before.

ugh- Perez- he still made Reyes throw pitches......but... :( DAMN! Jose grounds out sharply.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 09:28 PM

86 pitches for A. Reyes so far. I'd like to see 1-2-3 and have him go out one more time for us to get a chance to really batter him around.

metsguyinmichigan Oct 15 2006 09:29 PM

valentin made that pretty close ... a lot closer than it should have been.

Rockin' Doc Oct 15 2006 09:29 PM

A lead off walk wasted. Poor offensive execution by the Mets in that inning.

Valadius Oct 15 2006 09:31 PM

FINALLY we get a catch near the fence.

Rockin' Doc Oct 15 2006 09:34 PM

When was the last time the Mets got the Cardinals out with a 1-2-3 inning? It seems like it's been for ever.

Gwreck Oct 15 2006 09:35 PM

I thought Perez' pickoff move sucked but it sure looked like he fooled Belliard on that 2-1 pitch.

Rockin' Doc Oct 15 2006 09:37 PM

Belliard must think he's Gene Simmons.

Hillbilly Oct 15 2006 09:37 PM

Paul had him!

Zvon Oct 15 2006 09:37 PM

UGH! Val--we had him for the DP!. awwwwwwww

Why is it that when Chavez bunts for a hit it's a great play but when the $119 million over seven years guy tries it's a bad play?

Rockin' Doc Oct 15 2006 09:46 PM

Delgado with a 3 run shot!

Anybody remember the last time Beltran, Delgado, and Wright have all gone downtown in the same game? We need to get Floyd in on the action.

Gwreck - "Did Joe Buck really just use the phrase "decent speed" to describe LoDuca?" You don't need speed when you turn fast balls into souvenirs.

I agree with the earlier comments: our boys came out with a plan and they executed it--took a lot of pitches and worked Reyes over real good. I don't think I could be happier with our performance today. Just what we needed after some uninspired ball last night. Let's Go Mets! Zvon Oct 16 2006 01:13 AM just seein some of Perez's pitches in grouped up replays on ESPN. He really did pitch a fine game...made some great pitches in the clutch.
