I haven't gotten to watch many games recently because my stolen . . .err. . .I mean FREE cable hasn't been working. I know lastings has been hitting the ball, but how has his defense looked? I have seen some funky routes to the ball. . . but has it at least been decent?

Kid Carsey Jul 31 2007 05:45 PM

He's alright, of course we'd rather him being in a corner but he's doing what's needed from him and has been a big lift in other areas. Of course I sound like Ed Coleman but I do that a lot less than I'm generally accused of in these parts so I'll let my hair down tonight.

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2007 05:51 PM

"Of course I sound like Ed Coleman " No question about it.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 31 2007 05:51 PM

I think Lastings has been fine. His throwing decisions are about as bad as you can make, but otherwise, he looks good even IMO. Paul "I'll Be In There" LoDuca is probably stewing in a corner somewhere.

Castillo begins his Met tenure with a flyout on the 2-0 pitch.

Kid Carsey Jul 31 2007 06:20 PM

What would be really sick, something people would talk about forever, is that Glavine threw the Mets first no hitter while winning his 300th.

bmfc1 Jul 31 2007 06:21 PM

Do I have this right? The Mets bench for the night is LoDuca, Marlon, DeFelice, Newhan, Gotay? Only 1 of the 5 has been on the team all season.

Loved Gary's line, "good thing he didn't find him." (paraphrasing what Cohen said of Mitchell looking for the mugger) ((there's a dead word ... mugger, mugged, mugging))

metsguyinmichigan Jul 31 2007 06:38 PM

Drop in on SNY of Maddux interview in which Greg refers to Tom as "Glavine". Seems a little cold.

Jeff Suppan: Baserunner notwithstanding, still an unnecessary force for evil on the planet.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 07:33 PM

Reyes doubles. Castillo bunts. Wright singles. And thus the JLD Connection was born.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 31 2007 07:34 PM

Phew! Good to have one in!

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 07:36 PM

We're witnessing history here tonight, folks. Moises Alou is approaching his 300th minute without an apparent injury.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 07:36 PM

Alou missed almost 2-1/2 months and is within 15 RBI of Green.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 31 2007 07:37 PM

Knowing about the urine thing, did the other players give him high-fives after the sac fly?

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 07:37 PM

Play at the plate...yeah, Alou's still 15 behind Green.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 31 2007 07:41 PM

We've had way too many guys gunned at home this year but that wasn't a dumb call. Nice play by the bad guys. Gary sure was pleased that the Mets "took what the Brewers gave them" but had we not given them an out, we might be up by more than 1 (or may not. I can't kill them for the sacbunt either, since it worked). What I'd like to see is Glavine protect what his mates gave him.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 07:41 PM

That slow-motion replay of Delgado being thrown out at home doesn't really indicate how slow Delgado is. Oh wait...that wasn't in slow motion.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 31 2007 07:47 PM

Yikes. The last thing we need is our outfielders to go all Don Hahn-George Theodore.

Kid Carsey Jul 31 2007 07:50 PM

Not to dwell on it, but Delgado scoring on that is probably never a good bet. Nice getting the hoof in the way of the slide by catch or he might have even snuck in if you watch the replay.

Interesting how Gary went on about how the Brewers would've been out of the inning had they played the infield in on that single that Wright got. Had the Mets played the IF in when Fielder was up, they would've gotten out of that inning (bottom 4th) without the Brew Crew scoring.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 31 2007 07:56 PM

Mets not getting any breaks from the boys in blue tonight.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 07:58 PM

Glavine just ran to first like a pitcher who doesn't trust his teammates to do the same.

Radio guys were wrong by my eye.

I hate Castillo already. Hate him.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 08:08 PM

Wright entered the night with a lifetime OPS of 1.062 at Miller Park, highlighted by the six RBIs he collected in his third game there as a rookie. But not that time.

Rockin' Doc Jul 31 2007 08:13 PM

Glavine gave the Mets a solid outing, now it's up to the team to kick some ass and get this victory.

Willets Point Jul 31 2007 08:13 PM

Is there any reason for Milwaukeeans to hate Glavine the way we hate Suppan? Probably the only enemy pitcher I wouldn't salute in this situation is Clemens. And Milwaukeeans are much nicer than me. Folks were just damn friendly when I visited last year.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 08:14 PM

3-6-3 DP...obviously Castillo's soothing presence is the key.

Willets Point Jul 31 2007 08:14 PM

Deeeeeeeeee-Peeeeeeeeeeee. Glavine coulda done that.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 31 2007 08:14 PM

I was blessed to be present at Tom Seaver's 300th win, and it was wonderful to see him go all the way. Then I was in Detroit for one of the games when the bastard Clemens went for 300th. He departed early with a lead, and Jeter and Soriano threw the ball around and allowed the Tigers -- enroute to 119 losses -- to tie the game, which went 17 innings before the vile ones finally won. Pretty much a bad day all around. Here's hoping our pen and D can get it done for Tommy.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 08:15 PM

Craig Counsell causes trouble. How has he never been a Cardinal?

metsguyinmichigan Jul 31 2007 08:17 PM

Mets in gray.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 08:19 PM

Out of the seventh, Gary says "Glavine can go ice his arm," which sounds like a bit of an insult if you don't know the context. Glavine to Cohen: Go soak your head.

Gwreck Jul 31 2007 08:20 PM

With the DP, Glavine's final line is 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 2 K, 5 BB.

Rockin' Doc Jul 31 2007 08:20 PM

How about a few insurance runs team? It would sure make me feel better and it would probably help Glavine's digestion.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 08:21 PM

Delgado is mandated to homer at once.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 08:23 PM

Delgado does not recognize what is mandatory and strikes out.

Gwreck Jul 31 2007 08:25 PM

At least Moises is taking some pitches against Turnbow.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 08:25 PM

Alou swings at none of the first four pitches he sees, somehow. Moishe on first.

The Mets offense seems determined to make us sweat this one out.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 31 2007 08:31 PM

Looks like this one is going to depend on our pen because the offense sure isn't going to do anything. If I see Schoenweis even thinking about warming up, I'm gonna scream.

Gwreck Jul 31 2007 08:31 PM

Heilman back out for a 2nd inning. With Smith in AAA, Feliciano struggling recently and Mota being subpar all year, I wonder if we really needed a setup man a lot more than a secondbaseman...

Willie has buried Schoeneweis deeper than Godzilla recently. And that's after a month of good pitching.

Rockin' Doc Jul 31 2007 08:34 PM

A solid reliever wouls have been my prefernce. Heilman needs to get through the meat and potatoes of the Brewers line up. Hardy and Fielder both due up this inning.

Mota and Feliciano are getting ready. Edit: Gary suggests Feliciano is getting ready for Fielder.

There really is a playoff atmosphere to this game. That is the Mets aren't scoring.

Indeed. He lost the sling a couple of days ago but it still looks like he might not be able to signal for a righty.

Edgy DC Jul 31 2007 08:40 PM

So, Feliciano has been un-hypnotized, right?

Johnny Dickshot wrote: The Verizon Fios kid = Back over him in the driveway please. Eh. Kinda like him, although the other ad where he says "nice truck" is funnier. I'm also partial to it because if we should ever get Fios in this neighborhood I'm switching away from Time Warner (those bastards) in an instant.

He was errant before the ball was hit by charging straight down the line.

Gwreck Jul 31 2007 09:12 PM

Ha. Gary just said that walking Braun and bringing in Schoeneweis was "an option." No, Gary, it's NOT.

Edgy DC Jul 31 2007 09:12 PM

Fielder or Braun. I choose Prince and Schoeneweis.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 31 2007 09:14 PM

So so. Not so.

Gwreck Jul 31 2007 09:14 PM

Big K. Walk Prince?

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 09:15 PM

Braun strikes out. And his coffee's overrated.

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2007 09:15 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 31 2007 09:16 PM

Walk Prince and pitch to Hall, or bring in Schoeneweis to pitch to Prince??? I like walking Prince. (and either option beats Sosa pitching to Prince)

Edgy DC Jul 31 2007 09:15 PM

Wow. That's... wow.

G-Fafif Jul 31 2007 09:16 PM

I don't like facing Hall. Or any of them.

Gwreck Jul 31 2007 09:17 PM

Hall won the last Mets-Brewers game at Miller Park on a walkoff. Only HR Bradford gave up last year.

Per Gary, "shades of Beltran in Houston" indeed.

Bringing Matt in turned out to be not so Wise. That's the thing you gotta remember about bullpens; in any given season the fans of at least 27 teams think their's really suxxxxx

Edgy DC Jul 31 2007 09:31 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 31 2007 09:33 PM

Two questionable calls by Yost (who's already made a couple tonight): 1) signaling for a lefty (against Alou?!) 2) letting Wise leave the field without a thorough throttling.

bmfc1 Jul 31 2007 09:31 PM

I think Shouse... let's hope we find out.

What a crappy ending! I was an hour late getting into the park due to construction traffic, so I stayed for the extra frames. This was the second Brewers/Mets game I've seen over the past 2 years with a walkoff Brewers HR.

I'm definitely not about holding the closer out of these extra inning ties on the road.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 01 2007 08:37 AM

I wasn't on the IGT last night, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one who wanted Heilman to pitch to Fielder? He seemed to be rocking along, and I'd rather go with the pitcher who's doing well rather than the unknown quantity in the bullpen. And I suppose he has to stay down in New Orleans for ten days, but if it were up to me, I'd promote Adkins and demote Mota as soon as I could.

DocTee wrote: Had you arrived on time, would you have left the game early? Not at all. I was pretty pissed that I was late...mostly because it took me an hour and a half to go the last 15 miles and get through the parking lot. My wife was very cool about staying for the extra frames considering we had a ten year old in tow, a ride home that would take more than an hour and work in the morning. More people than I would have expected left after the Brewers tied the game and it was clear Glavine would not get the win. The crowd then thinned out after the bottom of each inning from the ninth on. I was very happy to see the extra baseball because I missed the first 3 innings...made me feel like I got my money's worth. It was a terribly exciting game...not necessarily well played by all involved. Each team had multiple chances to win it before the final run crossed the plate. It was nice to see a full house in Milwaukee on a Tuesday night. I don't know if I've ever seen that before. The Brewers fans were the roudiest I've ever seen. I got more crap for wearing a Mets jersey and cap to a game last night than in every other Brewer/Mets game I've attended combined. I guess winning breeds confidence. Fortunately, they're new at this...so they're pretty easy to give crap back to. While Turnbow was warming up, he threw 2 pitches in a row to the backstop drawing jeers from the fans. At one point after a Brewer groundout, Delgado started going around the horn by throwing it too high for Castillo, sending the ball into centerfield.

Edgy DC Aug 01 2007 08:48 AM

By signing Mota for two years and backloading the deal to minimize the financial pain of the suspension, you get the idea that Omar Minaya is being punished by cosmic justice, that he deserves all the pain Mota can inflict on his team. OK, you may not, but I do. Minaya had a great 2006, but he's having a Phillipsian 2007.

Centerfield Aug 01 2007 08:53 AM

Not that this mattered in the outcome, but why was Alou being an asshole and not backing off when the centerfielder calls it? Why was he being an asshole and grounding into a DP in our best opportunity to score?
