Good guys stealing up a storm against the Pads backup catcher

Mendoza Line Aug 22 2007 06:05 PM

...and get nothing to show for it after Beltran K's and Delgado flies to left. Ouch.

Mendoza Line Aug 22 2007 06:33 PM

Through Delgado's legs, Castillo can't find the handle, and it's 3-zip Padres. 4-zip as Cameron forgets that he's supposed to strike out in this situation. Milton Bradley makes a game slide past DiFelice and gives a shoutout to the ump for calling him safe. This is gettling less and less pretty.

Mendoza Line Aug 22 2007 06:34 PM

And Reyes makes things a little better by starting a nice DP at short.

Mendoza Line Aug 22 2007 06:46 PM

Reyes steals third and knocks Roger Cedeno out of the club record book. Not sure why he needed to steal third with 2 out and Beltran up, but what the heck.

Mendoza Line Aug 22 2007 06:47 PM

Beltran gets the good guys right back into the ballgame.

Mota couldn't stink any more than he does.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2007 07:19 PM

There can't be any way Mota's on the postseason roster!

bmfc1 Aug 22 2007 07:21 PM

Here's Joe Smith's numbers from NO... it looks like he's getting it together: http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=Joe%20Smith&pos=P&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=501925

I'm not one to moan and groan too much about the Mets, but if we're gonna moan and groan let's moan and groan some in the direction of Delgado.

Valadius Aug 22 2007 07:42 PM

Congratulations Jose Reyes on breaking the Mets single-season stolen base record!!!

Kid Carsey Aug 22 2007 07:46 PM

Milledge dons that golden sombrero thingy.

Gwreck Aug 22 2007 07:48 PM

Lots of groaning Delgado's way. Even a tiny bit towards Beltran. He's hot, but when we had bases loaded, 1 out he didn't get anyone in.

Mendoza Line Aug 22 2007 07:55 PM

The Golden Sombrero Kid gets a pass for tonight. All part of growing up. Delgado gets plenty of groans at bat and in the field. Mota needs to get tested for performance inhibiting drugs.

Marlon Anderson - professional (pinch) hitter

Elster88 Aug 22 2007 07:58 PM

Jeff Conine - professional (pinch) hitter

Mendoza Line Aug 22 2007 07:58 PM

Welcome to the Mets, Jeff Conine.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2007 07:59 PM

Hey, I like this Conine kid! Welcome to the Mets!

Elster88 Aug 22 2007 08:00 PM

Dammit Jose, don't look at the ball when you're running.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2007 08:00 PM

I'd say Castillo is fitting in nicely!

Elster88 Aug 22 2007 08:05 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 22 2007 08:05 PM

Blum drops the pop-up but forces Castillo out at second.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2007 08:05 PM

Why was that not an infield fly rule out?

Ummmm, I'm officially excited.

I believe! I believe!

seawolf17 Aug 22 2007 08:07 PM

Never say die, folks. Oh, wait. Delgado's up.

Frig.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2007 08:08 PM

Damn. That was the ugliest strikeout ever.

Mendoza Line Aug 22 2007 08:09 PM

Groans for Delgado. Major groans.

Edgy DC Aug 22 2007 08:10 PM

Infield fly only applies with two or three forced runners. There wer two runners, but only one was forced.

Elster88 Aug 22 2007 08:10 PM

Who cares that we lost!! That 3-run ninth gave us a club record 10 straight games scoring 5 runs or more!!

Kid Carsey Aug 22 2007 08:25 PM

Easier not to care when the Phils and Braves lose. I ain't gonna harp on it, but Delgado looks like a third of his former self.

metirish Aug 23 2007 10:44 AM

I'd be scared shitless to meet the Padres in the post-season,Peavey seems to be exactly they type of dominating pitcher that the Mets don't have,don't get me wrong I would have faith in whoever the Mets had going against Peavey but he'd be scary to possibly face twice in a series.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 11:06 AM

Nobody is a bargain in the post-season. If you asked me who I wanted to go up against last year, I'd have answered St. Louis before you were done with the quesiton. The two teams match up well and it'd be a heckuva series. Most offputting thing in this series has been Wagner back to nibbling against good righties. Most gratifying thing has been getting to their league-leading pen and particularly that running-on-fumes Hall-of-Fame closer. His strikeout of Delgado was on three junk pitches down-and-away, none in the zone and none cracking 77 miles per hour. It'll be a crackling rubber match tonight, and a good time for Tom Glavine to show his quality.
