More ominous: putting leadoff man on third and not getting him home or giving up a first pitch home run?

Green and Castro with a pair of back to back jacks to give the Mets a 2-1 lead going to the bottom of the second. Castro's shot was crushed.

No, Khruschev's shot was crushed. Castro's (as the joke had it) was castrated.

Hernandez does a nice job pitching out of a jam in the botom of the fifth. Atlanta leaves runners stranded at second and third. Mets holding on to a slim 2-1 lead through five.

Hernandez is one of those pitchers that just amazes me. I watch him pitch and nothing looks that tough to hit. I sometimes find myself shaking my head and thinking I can't believe he gets big league hitters out with that junk. Luckily, the Braves hitters seem equally puzzled by Hernandez's offerings.

Alou gets on and then steals second to lead off the 7th. The Mets need to get him in. Green strikes out for the first out.

Grandpa pitch hits for Hernandez with 2 outs and draws a walk. It's up to Reyes to drive in the geriatric contingent.
|

That ones got to go. Reyes pops up to Larry on the edge of the outfiled grass.

Schoeneweis gives up a lead off single, then promptly balks the tying run to second. He gets a routine grounder to short that Reyes almost throws away, but Delgado tags the runner. Now Woodward walks to put the go ahead run on for the Braves top of the order. Hopefully, the Braves will squander this opportunity as the Mets have continually donme with theirs today. Johnson grounds out for the second out. Runners on second and third with 2 outs and that will thankfully be it for Schoeneweis. I'm guessing it will be Heilman's job to finish getting the Mets out of this mess.

Heilman gets out of the inning with a soft dribbler toward second that Valentin made a nice play to get Renteria. Mets still lead 2-1 through seven. Nice to see you back online Willets.

Delgado strides to the plate wearing the golden sombrero with Beltran at first with one out. Come on Carlos!

Heilman surrenders the first run of the season by the Mets bullpen on a pair of doubles to Chipper and McCann in the 8th. Tie ball game with one out and McCann on second.
|

Ugh. A third double, this one by Francoeur, gives the braves the lead.

This is kind of a trip down memory lane...in a bad way. The House of Horrors live.

perhaps the squid will bring good luck.

Newhan will PH as the last chance... strike 1 looking, strike 2 looking, foul ball, strike 3 looking. way to swing the bat :/

Season's over, man! Braves will win the division.

The Mets really need a lefty bat on the bench. I seriously doubt Newhan is going to be the answer.
|
| Kid Carsey Apr 08 2007 02:08 PM |
|
Well, that was fun. Newhan can walk back to NY for all I care.

4-2 on the opening road series of the season. I can't complain, especially since the Mets went down with hope in two of those losses.
|
| Nymr83 Apr 08 2007 05:19 PM |

i wasn't feeling very hopeful with Newhan at the plate.

31 Met LOBs for this series. * I just became #70 Jim Hickman
|
| Willets Point Apr 08 2007 07:47 PM |
|
This may sound Pollyannaish, but I'll take multiple LOB's over no on base at all. At least over a couple of games the odds are going to work against you for getting guys home. Of course, if the trend continues, my song may change but for now I'm not going to raise my hackles too much.
|
| Frayed Knot Apr 08 2007 08:30 PM |
|
Well yeah. Having high percentages of your runners as LOBs is generally a temporary situation rather than a chronic one.
