Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 05:07 PM

I offically declare this a Big Game. I, in fact, gaze in slack-jawed awe at its bigness. Go get 'em, Sandy Jr.

Elster88 Aug 23 2007 05:22 PM

Wrizzle has the highest OBP in the majors since July 28. .528. I had no clue.

Elster88 Aug 23 2007 05:27 PM

Once Wright stole second you practically gotta walk Carlos intentionally for Carlos.

Elster88 Aug 23 2007 05:28 PM

Three hooks, a fastball, another couple hooks, and on the last one (and the third) Beltran beautifully ripped it to right. He was timing the curve the entire time. Germano shoulda listened to me. The Mets are gonna steal bases today.

Elster88 Aug 23 2007 05:40 PM

All series we're giving up way too many runs to a team that hits like poop.

Elster88 Aug 23 2007 05:46 PM

These older ballplayers gotta shave the gray stubble.

Elster88 Aug 23 2007 05:47 PM

Three replays and Alou not trying to break it up at second looks worse every time. He gets a complete pass from Keith and Gary. Green was out by half a step.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 05:51 PM

Who called a hit-and-run with Cammie up?

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 05:52 PM

Sandy Alomar throwing to first after a strikeout. I know a few catchers do, but I can't recall a Met catcher ever who did.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 05:55 PM

What a fantastic block! And what a fantastic call by Derryl Cousins!

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 06:05 PM

Gameday sez "Injury Delay." Can anyone help with some enlightenment while I hold for Time Warner cable customer service?

TransMonk Aug 23 2007 06:09 PM

Bud Black was arguing a call that should have gone his team's way...no injury.

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 06:10 PM

Nope, that gets listed as "on-field delay" and came up too. Sez there was 1 ball and 2 strikes on Glavine when it happened.

TransMonk Aug 23 2007 06:10 PM

Good pick-up by Ronnie that Bard seems to be tipping pitches.

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 06:12 PM

Leadoff walks to the opposition suck.

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 06:19 PM

Thanks TM! (Freakin' cable went out).

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 06:24 PM

If it gets any uglier, you may be glad your cable went out. From what Gameday is showing, Glavine seems to have no command of his pitches tonight. He's throwing more balls than strikes and if Gameday is to be believed, a significant number of those balls aren't even remotely close to the strike zone.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 23 2007 06:37 PM

FU, Marcus Giles. And Glavine oughta be ashamed.

TransMonk Aug 23 2007 06:40 PM

This game is gross.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 23 2007 06:42 PM

Eh, only the 5th inning. We could still force our way back into this thing.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 23 2007 07:05 PM

Shhhh... Bases loaded, nobody out. Delgado up.

metirish Aug 23 2007 07:05 PM

Bases loaded for Delgado.......FUCK...no outs ...FUCK

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 07:08 PM

I just wanna see you at night Don't come round my house in the day I love it when we start up a fight And I love it when the fight ends your way I love it when you call me names! I love it when you call me names! I can't wait to see you again I know you're gonna slap my face You beat me up then beat me again And over and over and over and over and over and over I love it when you call me names! I love it when you call me names! Big woman and a short short man! And he loves it When she beats his brains out! He's pecked to death but he loves the pain! And he loves it when she calls him names! She's wearing heavy leather with lace He dresses up in cowboy taste They punish then they think up a crime It's their way of loving not mine I love it when you call me names! I love it when you call me names!

TransMonk Aug 23 2007 07:09 PM

I have no confidence in Delgado...none...zilch. I have never seen such a good hitter look so lost at the plate for so long.

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 07:10 PM

Hmm. At least it wasn't a double play.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 07:10 PM

Popup brings down a rain of boos.

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 07:11 PM

Green at the plate now as the tying run.

Mendoza Line Aug 23 2007 07:12 PM

And Alou catches a break from the ump I'm lucky I'm lucky I can walk under ladders Yes I'm so lucky That I'm as lucky As me

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 07:12 PM

...and he comes through with the 2-RBI single!

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 07:13 PM

I know we already burned Gotay but I still might think about using a PH for Alomar here.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 07:13 PM

WOW!

Kid Carsey Aug 23 2007 07:14 PM

holy crap of a come back

Mendoza Line Aug 23 2007 07:14 PM

close call, I thought...could've gone either way But that one wasn't close at all! Anderson rocks!

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 07:15 PM

Marlon is the man.

TransMonk Aug 23 2007 07:15 PM

Yeah baby!

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 07:15 PM

Marlon checked it also. But who da fuck cares, right?

Castillo's eatin his Greenies.

Castillo: Best. Deadline. Trade. EVER!

Great play by Castillo....Gary is pumped tonight.

You're getting playoff baseball in August, kids. Say thank you to the baseball gods.

Reyes and Blastillo are going to hurt each other. Best Mets baseball going on here since the first week or two, I think.

Mother father.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2007 07:53 PM

Normal defensive alignments and neither one of those is a hit ... but the first hit set up the in-tight defense on the 2nd one.

Bleeping horrible.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2007 07:56 PM

That inside corner hasn't been a strike all night.

Hey, Blum. Sit down.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 08:00 PM

Hey, Giles. Get your butt out of the first-base dugout.

Elster88 Aug 23 2007 08:00 PM

Can Marlon hit again?

TransMonk Aug 23 2007 08:00 PM

If nothing else, Hoffman should be a little fatigued.

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 08:01 PM

Wagner eventually brings it, but it's a little too late. Hopefully, the offense can bail him out.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2007 08:01 PM

This is just going to make the comeback that much sweeter. It's time to go Dustin' Hoffman again.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 08:02 PM

If nothing else, Beltran is still on our side.

Is Conine slower than Hell? If he reaches, does Maine or somebody have to run for him?

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 08:04 PM

I was thinking the same thing Edgy. They have to get Beltran an at bat.

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 08:07 PM

Here we go. Reyes and Castillo both single. Plenty of speed on the bases with Wright coming up and Beltran on deck.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 08:07 PM

Gorgeous stuff.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 23 2007 08:07 PM

]Castillo: Best. Deadline. Trade. EVER! It bears repeating. Tie game!

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 08:09 PM

Double steal eliminates the potential of a DP. Gutsy move, but I love it.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 08:09 PM

Fucking gorgeous.

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 08:09 PM

I think Beltran ends it with a homer here. Edit: Well, unless they intentionally walk him.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 08:10 PM

About 900 career saves between these two closers and they each blow one. Playoff. Baseball.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 23 2007 08:10 PM

Oh boy.

Kid Carsey Aug 23 2007 08:10 PM

Walking Beltran with the tie ... chance for Delgado to do something special ....

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 08:11 PM

The stolen bases pay off as Wright delivers the tying run with a sac fly. Castillo 90 feet away from another incredible Met win.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2007 08:11 PM

Someone get ready to cue Marley's 'Redemption Song' for Carlos II

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 08:11 PM

TransMonk Aug 23 2007 08:11 PM

One more chance, Delgado...let's do this!

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 08:11 PM

No surprise that they walked Carlos to get to Carlos. Here's your chance for redemption big guy.

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 08:17 PM

Cincy/ATL are also in bonusbaseball.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 23 2007 08:18 PM

Just a hunch, but I think Lastings breaks out of that 5-K mode and ends this one.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2007 08:20 PM

I guess there are no OFers left to double-switch Heilman/Alou ? Woulda been a good spot for it esp since we may need Aaron to go more than a couple innings.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 08:20 PM

Wagner with the 27-pitch inning. Hoffman with 26. Sand Diego bench has two legit hitting subs --- Ensberg (R) and Mackowiak (L) --- plus backup catcher Pete LaForest, who has been hot. Mets are down to DiFelice, and I wonder if Sandy Jr. is up to extra innings.

Milledge, Alomar, DiFelice in the bottom of the inning against Bell.

Jeff Keppinger gets called out on strikes with the bases loaded.

Careful there Monk. If you don't have certifiable statistical evidence that the actual level of heart has increased, there are some on this forum who will tear you a new one.

He prolly has a fat wifey too (Jeff Keppinger that is). I'm mad.

bmfc1 Aug 23 2007 08:49 PM

Braves didn't score in the top of the 12th.

bmfc1 Aug 23 2007 08:57 PM

Adam Dunn ends it.

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 08:58 PM

I'm glad we're hitting but I'm really concerned about the bullpen. Aaron Heilman's habit of giving up home runs in the worst possible situation is a big problem, IMO. Feliciano and Schoeneweis have been encouraging lately, and Wagner I can brush off as a temporary struggle but I still don't think we have a good 7th/8th inning coverage. Worries me.

Rockin' Doc Aug 23 2007 09:01 PM

I wish I could send a Schaeffer to Adam Dunn. Thanks for the help big guy.

Don't forget the starting pitching has been poor -- and that's against the league's worst offense. No to piss on anyone's ProKeds. I agree they look more alive than all year... just, pissed.

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 09:12 PM

Starting pitching has been poor, but I think those five will still poor nicely into three+ come playoff time. At the end of things, I think Aaron Heilman will be there for me.
