willie could argue that play where pierre went out of the baseline with the fresh footprints outside the line. this early in the game they really stand out.

Kid Carsey Aug 24 2007 05:16 PM

Not to pick nits early in an IGT, but Pierre clearly runs out of the runners box down the first baseline on a grounder to Delgado. Why can't Willie or Hendo piss in the ump's ear a little by pointing out the fucking foot prints at the very least?

Valadius Aug 24 2007 05:22 PM

You'd think Rickey at least would say something.

TransMonk Aug 24 2007 05:55 PM

Milledge Ks for the 7th time in a row. 2 away from the ML record. I'm pretty sure a RF needs to know how to hit a breaking ball.

Kid Carsey Aug 24 2007 06:13 PM

I assume the list at "9" has a bunch of people on it but couldn't find it on a quick google search. They said on the SNY b'cast that Bo Jackson is one. Let's get Lasting's off the schnide next AB please ....

Mets have put together 2 runs through 3 innings against Penny. Reyes scored both and now has 97 on the season. Perez doesn't look good and has been in jams all night. Luckily, so far he's been able to get out of them.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 06:35 PM

Disagree with bunting DiFelice there. Sure he might hit into a triple play, but that's about the worst thing that could happen. And Penny walked 2 guys in a row coming in! Let him off the hook and we scored jack. Stupid.

Atlanta DFA Bob Wickman....a shocker....D Wright makes teo brilliant defensive plays in the fifth inning.....

TransMonk Aug 24 2007 07:18 PM

Through 7: Mets lead 3-0. In comes the bullpen. It would be refreshing to see them get 6 outs without incident.

Kid Carsey Aug 24 2007 07:20 PM

Refreshing indeed .

TransMonk Aug 24 2007 07:20 PM

Meanwhile in Philly: Padres keep up their offensive surge leading the Phils 9-3 and threatening in the 7th. Atlanta just underway in St. Louis after a rain delay.

TransMonk Aug 24 2007 07:31 PM

Refreshing it is not as Sosa loads the bags with 1 out in the 8th. Pedro in.

Kid Carsey Aug 24 2007 07:32 PM

Frustrating to watch night in night out ... it's amazing this team has the best record in the NL.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 07:35 PM

It's like a pen-demic. They need our support!

TransMonk Aug 24 2007 07:35 PM

I like the offense right now, and the starting pitching has been mediocre at best...but this bullpen is utterly undependable. Like night and day from last year.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 07:37 PM

whew. Anyone remember that game show called "Whew!"?

TransMonk Aug 24 2007 07:38 PM

David's glove saving the day. The Dodgers only get one out of the bases loaded opportunity.

No recollection on "Whew". Mets up by two in the bottom of 8, let's get a dozen insurance runs NOW!!!

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 07:48 PM

Nice job by Milledge. Whew! It was a big deal when they started it. But as I recall, the gameplay was stupid.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 07:50 PM

Notice Proctor's already grown a chinmat after the MFYs booted him.

Kid Carsey Aug 24 2007 07:53 PM

What's up with the "los" on the unis? Just noticed it.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 07:55 PM

It's the little-known holiday Fiesta Latina. Have you also noticed the PA announcer is a chick calling out the lineup in Spanish?

TransMonk Aug 24 2007 07:59 PM

Lastings Milledge sounds the same in Spanish.

JD: >>>It's the little-known holiday Fiesta Latina<<< Negra Modello for everyone!!

Wagner is going to make it queasy even with the 4 run lead.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 08:03 PM

Tying run up, Jeff Kent.

Billy Wagner vs. the Gauntlet of Villians

Kid Carsey Aug 24 2007 08:07 PM

Phew, or whew, er ... HOT DAMN!!

TransMonk Aug 24 2007 08:09 PM

Good win against Penny. Perez didn't look invincible, but went 7 only allowing 3 hits and no runs. Let's get another one tomorrow.

Rockin' Doc Aug 24 2007 08:15 PM

Nice win. I wouldn't mind a blow out win so Willie could give the bullpen regulars a day off. Meanwhile, the Padres are pounding the Phillies into submission. The Padres lead 14-3 goiing to the bottom of the ninth. I feel pretty secure that they should be able to hold on for the win. I think it's time for a celebratory Tecate.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 08:23 PM

I only have German beer today but if my alcoholic neighbor is any indication, Beck's is a favorite of the Latin hermanos.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 08:26 PM

A funny thing about putting the article "Los" in front of the Mets is that putting articles in front of the team name and translating "Los Mets" into "The Mets" leads me to automatically read the Dodgers' road uniform as not bearing the city's name but making it look like the The Mets ("Los Mets") are playing The Angels ("Los Angeles"). I guess I never really thought of it that whenever the Dodgers are on the road, they're wearing the name of their crosstown rivals. Shakey bullpen, bah. Imagine how the loss felt for fans of the Dodgers and celebrate. Or fans of the Angels, for that matter.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 08:35 PM

The Gauntlet of Villians was an American League team. 1 Alphonse the Gangster 2 Bruno the Headsman 3 Mr. Van Louse the Landlord 4 Nero the Fiddler 5 Count Nibbleneck the Vampire 6 Frank and his little friend Stein 7 Kid Rotten the Gunslinger 8 Jeremy Swash the Pirate 9 Dr Deranged the Mad Professor 10 Lucretia the Witch

3 strategy goofs by Willie: 1. The aforementioned bunt by DiFelice when there were no outs and two men on. 2. The bunt by Gotay in the 3rd. Let him hit. 3. The double steal in the first with Gotay as the lead runner. Fiesta Latina (like Merengue Night) tends to bring a fair number of people to the park who appear more interested in the concert than the game (ie. showing up in the 6th inning, etc). Lots of stupidness/moronity as a result. Wouldn't have gone but for the good pitching matchup. Glad to see Oliver getting a solid outing for the first time in what seems like a while.

Frayed Knot Aug 24 2007 10:02 PM

- Willie had some words with Gotay after the caught stealing so I'm not sure he called that one. An exuberant Gotay might have been caught up in all the running recently and gone on his own. - Same might have been true with the Gotay bunt earlier - although that one wasn't so bad either way. - Definitely didn't like the DiFelice bunt and ya gotta figure that one was called from the bench.

Gwreck Aug 24 2007 10:31 PM

I just looked at the tape of the game and agree that the first two were poor decisions/execution by Gotay.
