A shoutout to seawolf, who indicated that he would be at the game!

Elster88

A five pitch walk to the first batter.

Elster88
Jul 21 2005 12:14 PM

The first pitch to Loretta is a ball, prompting a "coaching visit to the mound".

Elster88
Jul 21 2005 12:19 PM

A 6-4-3 groundout, a walk to Giles, and a fly out by Nevin, and the no-hitter is alive through one.

Elster88
Jul 21 2005 12:38 PM

Nothing of note in the Mets half of the first or the top of the second. 0-0.

Elster88

6 up, 6 down for Peavy. Still no score.

Through 4 complete, it's your New York Mets 1 and the San Diego Padres 0.

Elster88

Young walks with two outs and is thrown out trying to steal second.

5 IP, 3 H, 1 K, 4 BB, 0 R for Ishii.

Castro! 3-0 Mets!

Ishii walks, and Reyes follows with a "soft single to right."

Where is everybody? We're trying to sweep here people.

Reyes steals second, and Itchy scores and Reyes advances on the subsequent throwning error.

Johnny Dickshot
Jul 21 2005 01:32 PM

Gary described Castro's HR as "the hardest hit ball we've seen by a RH hitter all year" on a line over Casey's number.

Edgy DC

Then Cameron dubbles like Barney Rubbles.

Freaking cool. Let's play in the NL West next year.

I like Reyes batting leadoff, especially on a team with no other leadoff options.

]Let's play in the NL West next year.


Well that's not going to happen of course -- but we can take some solace in the fact that these are only games 7, 8, & 9 this year for us against the very weak west* which is less than any other NL East team. This could be time to make up some ground**.


* I saw some 'Since June 1' records the other day: no one in the West had anything near a .500 mark. Colorado was actually best and they were all a bunch of 18-25 type marks (or worse).

** Last time we said something like this we wound up getting our clocks cleaned by Seattle & Oakland

I like Reyes, period. I wish he'd get on base at a greater clip but he has a high fun factor which shouldn't be overlooked.

seawolf17
Jul 21 2005 01:52 PM

Nah, I'm here. Decided it wasn't worth driving 90 minutes to see Ishii give up fifteen baserunners in four innings.

Guess I was wrong!

Either way, too many kids there today.

Who are these hitters playing in the Mets uniforms today?

Speaking of Yankee greatness, Paul Quantrill surrenders a single to Minky and a run in relief of Peavy

That's weird. I guess I can see it only because it was my post.

Edgy DC

Pinch-hitting for Ishii in a 6-0 game with 97 pitches logged in six innings.

I say bad but I'll suspend judgement.

I'll say this, if you're looking to bust the sucker into Graves-proof terriotry., use Piazza and go whole hog.

Duan replaced Castro after tha homer and wasn't announced.

Fantasy rule #1: Never start the opposing team's pitcher against your team.

I did the same exact thing this week. Nuts.

Jul 21 2005 02:35 PM

Shouldn't Graves be pitching here instead of Bell?

At any rate, I love routs. Keep it up, boys!

Elster88

1-2-3 innings for both Koo and Bell. Mets lead 12-0 going to the home eighth.

Elster,

]That's weird. I guess I can see it only because it was my post.


Actually, you can see it because your browser has the pictured cached and checks the cache first. Because we don't have the picture, tripod sends us that image. Bastards.

And, I have Peavy too. I gaurantee that if I had not started him, he would be perfect to this point.

So the mets and y'all have me to thank for this.

Ah, gotcha. I'll try to find a suitable replacement picture.

OE: done.

OE2: That makes three of us with Peavy starting today. Justice was meted out by the Met bats.

ScarletKnight41

12-0 Mets going to the bottom of the 8th. They can almost trade grand slam homers for outs in the 9th.

Johnny Dickshot

Was hoping to get thru a whole series without seeing Hoffman, but this is the best time & place.

Yancy Street Gang
Jul 21 2005 02:39 PM

This lead seems to be Graves-proof.

Wouldn't it be great if the Mets never see .500 again this season?

Elster88
Jul 21 2005 02:40 PM

Bell hitting. Looks like he'll finish it. I wish I was home. I always like to watch relivers hit. Between Koo and a Franco at-bat from years ago when his helmet looked to be crushing his head I've seen some funny ones.

Frayed Knot
Jul 21 2005 02:50 PM

Graves is pitching the 9th - no sense wasting a PHer - and isn't doing hisself any favors w/2 singles to the first 3 batters.

Frayed Knot
Jul 21 2005 02:52 PM

But he gets out of it and preserves the shutout.

12 - 0 is your final.

I'm at work so I'm not watching the game but through two games Ramon Hernandez is not all that impressive, small sampling I know but what do you guys think,Rick Peterson likes him from the Oakland days, who else is on the market?

duan
Jul 21 2005 02:55 PM

fucking cool game.

I arrived home from work (leaving early) to get to the game at the 4th - I missed Minky's shot, but got pretty much everything else.

Reyes' steal and Ishii's score on the error was great fun, but overall they played EXTREMELY well.

I'm still not convinced by Ishii, but what the hell sweeps are what we need!!!!

ScarletKnight41
Jul 21 2005 02:58 PM

Ramon Hernandez was an all star (was that last year or the year before?), and he has a reputation for handling pitchers well.

Get out the brooms

Is this the first sweep of the season??

Number 3. They swept the Reds at Shea and... I don't remember the other one.

They swept Houston at Shea in April (you were there for the first of those games <g>)

Scoreless inning by Graves is gravy.
