Wednesday 05/16 IGT vs Cubs

Frayed Knot May 16 2007 05:20 PM

Rain delay theatre ... this one might be a while. Already rained out in Boston. Still no official word on Thursday's starter. Sounds like it's probably Vargas although the status of tonight's game might affect things. Also still no decision on whether to DL Alou

If this is the same rainstorm that came through PA today (and it is) you guys may as well go to bed

If you had, you'd know there was no room even for doubt. Pelfrey's Willie's guy.

Kid Carsey May 16 2007 06:03 PM

Anyone know anything about a projected start time? It's pretty damn nice up here which isn't far as the crow flies.

iramets May 16 2007 06:16 PM

When Howie broke off the radio broadcast, he said they expected to try playing around 9.

Benjamin Grimm May 16 2007 06:22 PM

He's a filthy liar! He's EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

seawolf17 May 16 2007 06:50 PM

Is he lying, or clueless? There's really no other option.

Johnny Dickshot May 16 2007 07:22 PM

I'm either lying or clueless but it's not raining anymore. Theriot Floyd Soriano Ramirez Ward Barrett Jones Izturas Hill Reyes Easley Beltran Delgado Wright LoDuca Green Gomez LF Sosa Hill was the starter vs. the Natz when I saw the Cubs last Saturday. Lefty with decent stuff but they eventually got to them.

Kid Carsey May 16 2007 07:52 PM

10:30ish start with a gay dame tomorrow, could get interesting. I think the 6AM rewind show on SNY is more in my future.

soupcan May 16 2007 08:24 PM

And it begins. 1 out 1st inning BB to Floyd, but the Cubbies strand him. To the bottom of the first we go...

soupcan May 16 2007 08:32 PM

Une, deux, trois bottom of the first for Les Mets.

LoDuca & Green - B2B 2-out hits in the 2nd. Gomez swaggers to the plate....

soupcan May 16 2007 08:45 PM

And it drops in behind first base! 1-0 Mets. First career RBI for Gomez. Green to third. Sosa whiffs to end the second.

Frayed Knot May 16 2007 08:47 PM

MLB RBI #1 for Carlos #3 We lead the league in Carli

Frayed Knot May 16 2007 08:54 PM

Sosa quiets TheRiot ... and then Cliffy to end the Cubbie 3rd

Rockin' Doc May 16 2007 08:59 PM

Top of the order due up for the bottom of the 3rd. Let's get him on this second time through.

soupcan May 16 2007 09:01 PM

1st and 2nd 1 out. Carlos #2 up...

soupcan May 16 2007 09:03 PM

BB to Delgado. Sacks drunk, ducks on the pond, bases juiced for Mr. Wright.

Johnny Dickshot May 16 2007 09:04 PM

Loaded up for D.W.

Johnny Dickshot May 16 2007 09:05 PM

Ugly but effective. We got screwed by that play recently.

Johnny Dickshot May 16 2007 09:07 PM

Wow, double steal. Willie is out-geniusing Lou here.

Batty31 May 16 2007 09:12 PM

I just put the game on now since I figured they would call it when it didn't start and 9 and I didn't want to miss Lost! I think I'll be recording the rewind tomorrow morning as well. Thanks everyone for the game summary so far...

Frayed Knot May 16 2007 09:21 PM

HOLY SCHNEIKE HE CLUBBED THE SHIT OUTTA THAT ONE!!!

martin May 16 2007 09:22 PM

man easley is firing off dingers like a madman, jose valentin can't like this.

Johnny Dickshot May 16 2007 09:22 PM

Edgy DC May 16 2007 09:34 PM

Keith's dead right. That pitch that David singles on is a pitch he used to go to right-center with. That's what the problem was a the beginning of the year. The guy wasn't right but it was hard to tell because he was still dropping singles in.

Rockin' Doc May 16 2007 09:34 PM

Wright steals second to get himself in scoring position with one out in the fifth and LoDuca at the plate.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 09:44 PM

Sosa-Lacious.

Rockin' Doc May 16 2007 09:45 PM

Sosa is wheelin' and dealin' tonight. he sets the Cubs down 1-2-3 in the 6th. Gomez, Sosa, and Reyes due up for the Mets in the home half.

Rockin' Doc May 16 2007 09:50 PM

Sosa draws a one out walk. Make him pay Jose.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 10:02 PM

Well, the Cubs get a runner in scoring position. Not a lot of Chicago threats this evening.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 10:04 PM

Sosa is just. damn. nasty.

Rockin' Doc May 16 2007 10:10 PM

It's great isn't it.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 10:10 PM

OK, two on for Wright.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 10:13 PM

Five-zip. I can't be the only one watching this naked.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 10:14 PM

Six. Hah!

Rockin' Doc May 16 2007 10:15 PM

I was with you right up to the last word. Wright has got his bat going of late, now if Delgado can get a hot streak.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 10:17 PM

Siete.

Damn, Gomez can cut the bases.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 10:18 PM

Send him out, Willie, send him out! Send him out, Willie, send him out! Send him out, Willie, send him out! Send him out, Willie, send him out!

Leadoff batter walks and we have an Angel Pagan sighting.

Batty31 May 16 2007 10:24 PM

I was going to comment of the odd nature of the name Angel Pagan. Contradicts itself.

Willets Point May 16 2007 10:24 PM

My former adoptee comes to bat.

Willets Point May 16 2007 10:27 PM

Just as long as Ralph isn't watching this bareassed.

Batty31 May 16 2007 10:31 PM

Floyd breaks up the shut out.

Edgy DC May 16 2007 10:40 PM

Reyes coming up a mite lame and is pinch run for. Unhappy times.

Batty31 May 16 2007 10:53 PM

Kevin Burkhardt just said that Reyes was feeling some tightness and took himself out as a precautionary measure. He is walking around in the clubhouse right now and seems to be ok. This is an "unofficial" report, so Reyes' status could still change. Let's keep our fingers crossed..

Gwreck May 17 2007 12:16 AM

Someone had to represent the CPF for this 3+ hour rain delay and I didn't want to let the team down. Glad I brought a book however. Anyway, after much delayage and a very nice self upgrade (first row of the loge boxes right behind the plate) it turned out to be a fun game. Easley's homer appeared to clear the back wall of the visitors bullpen. I believe it was estimated at 431 feet, IIRC. Sosa got a very nice reception from the crowd after Willie took him out in the 8th. Ticketholders to tonight's game, if there are any out there, can mail them in for free tix to one of the Twins games.

soupcan May 17 2007 07:23 AM

I flat passed out about the 5th inning. Nice to see Sosa pitching like Pelfrey was supposed to. Any further word on Reyes? Should I put in a call to Mackey Shillstone?

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2007 07:24 AM

I think Mackey Shillstone is down at the Water Buffalo Lodge with Fred, Barney, and Joe Rockhead.

soupcan May 17 2007 07:34 AM

No, it's after 9:00 now - if he's not at the quarry, Mr. Slate will have his hide.

Johnny Dickshot May 17 2007 07:36 AM

Good job, G. I crashed on the floor in the 7th
