IGT, 09/05/07, Mets @ Reds--Looking for Six

bmfc1 Sep 05 2007 09:22 AM

LF Endy Chavez 2B Luis Castillo 3B David Wright CF Carlos Beltran 1B Jeff Conine SS Ruben Gotay RF Lastings Milledge C Mike DiFelice P John Maine No Paulie, Moises, Carlos D. or Jose. According to John Delcos: Carlos Delgado returned to New York this morning for a MRI on his sore right hip. Delgado felt a twinge batting in the eighth inning Wednesday night.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 09:29 AM

I don't like to hear about twinges. Hopefully the Mets won't need Delgado until early October. I wouldn't mind resting him for a few extra days as a precaution. Among regulars, Green is also sitting today.

Edgy DC Sep 05 2007 09:30 AM

Gotay, batting in front of Killedge. The Willie philosophy: Make a prospect earn his place.

sharpie Sep 05 2007 09:37 AM

Let's not forget the Redleg lineup: Hamilton cf Gonzalez ss Griffey Jr. rf Phillips 2b Dunn lf Valentin c Encarnacion 3b Votto 1b Shearn p Griffey plays day game following night game.

metirish Sep 05 2007 09:49 AM

What's with Griffey saying that he hopes when he hits # 600 that it's not in Cincinnati ,tough break for Delgado,finally puts together some good games in a row and now might sit for a few.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 05 2007 09:50 AM

I went out looking for six all the time. Then I got this nasty STD.

Vic Sage Sep 05 2007 10:24 AM

With Castillo's knee, it wouldn't have killed WWSB to start Marlon at 2b, since we're going with the b-team anyway.

Willets Point Sep 05 2007 10:49 AM

Phillips pwns Maine.

The Little Red Machine is on a tear.

Willets Point Sep 05 2007 11:18 AM

Nice try attempting to stretch a double into a triple Hamilton.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 11:25 AM

The Phillies and Indians both have three runs on the board in the top of the first. I wish the Mets had done that.

Willets Point Sep 05 2007 11:28 AM

2 on with no outs. This could be the start of something good.

Gwreck Sep 05 2007 11:30 AM

My gameday just told me that Beltran bunted the first pitch foul. He had best have been doing that to psych the other team out...and for no other reason.

Willets Point Sep 05 2007 11:32 AM

It was all a warmup for striking out.

Edgy DC Sep 05 2007 11:34 AM

Go, Niner.

If Gotay comes through here I'll consider changing my son's name to Reuben.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 11:36 AM

My son has nothing to worry about.

Valadius Sep 05 2007 11:42 AM

C'mon, Mets! Don't let the opposing pitcher's feel-good story intimidate you! Send him back to the grounds crew!

Centerfield Sep 05 2007 11:42 AM

This is not going well. Philly winning too.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 11:44 AM

I'm getting concerned about John Maine.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 11:45 AM

Here's my Valadius impression: FUCK!

Valadius Sep 05 2007 11:45 AM

Maine could really use some rest.

Centerfield Sep 05 2007 11:48 AM

For the last two weeks, the Mets seemed really determined to come back and win from 5 run deficits. Maybe today is the day it happens.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 11:48 AM

I can see Pedro, Hernandez, Glavine and Perez all having better Septembers than him, which could mean that Maine will be this October's Darren Oliver. That's not a prediction, by the way, but a possibility.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 11:49 AM

="Centerfield"]For the last two weeks, the Mets seemed really determined to come back and win from 5 run deficits. Maybe today is the day it happens. And maybe the Braves can do that too. I decide to root for Tim Hudson and this is how he thanks me?

metirish Sep 05 2007 11:49 AM

I can see that as well Yancy,plus Perez walks way to many to be coming out of the pen.

The Reds have found six. For the Mets six is still elusive.

And Humber no longer has a 0.00 ML ERA

metirish Sep 05 2007 12:45 PM

Is game day banjaxed or is Shearn really three hitting the Mets?

Edgy DC Sep 05 2007 12:53 PM

Shearn left after six. Let's get on the board against these Charlie Puleo-wannabes NOW!!!!

Johnny Dickshot Sep 05 2007 01:11 PM

Way to phone it in, losers.

Frayed Knot Sep 05 2007 01:17 PM

Turns out we were looking for six in all the wrong places. 5-2 Philly in the 6th, but Atlanta has 2-on w/none out.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 01:30 PM

Braves have to settle for two runs in the sixth. John Maine, by the way, is frittering away his chance to be the Schaefer Mets Pitcher of the Year. He once had a pretty healthy lead and now he's dropped (as of the last tally) into third place.

Frayed Knot Sep 05 2007 02:25 PM

Atlanta not going away quietly; 8-5 in the 8th, bags loaded and 1 out. And it is, y'know, the Philly bullpen. Myers already in.

bmfc1 Sep 05 2007 02:47 PM

Delgado out 7 to 10 days. Sorry, I didn't see the thread on this subject.

Frayed Knot Sep 05 2007 02:59 PM

Braves: 2-out, bases loaded, 9th inning, 3R double Phils Lose, Phils lose.

metsmarathon Sep 05 2007 02:59 PM

atlanta wins, 9-8.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2007 03:03 PM

Yay! At this point in the season any day in which the magic number drops is a good day, even if the Mets get humiliated by the pathetic Cincinnati Reds.

holychicken Sep 05 2007 03:05 PM

I can't believe philly blew it. Beautiful.

Frayed Knot Sep 05 2007 07:35 PM

I saw the highlights of that Philly/Atl game and it was fargin ridiculous. Braves scored 4 in the 8th then 3 in the 9th and hit maybe 2 balls hard the entire time. And the 3 in the 9th were after 2 out and none on. In all there were at least 5 infield hits, plus several bloops just over the infield, plus a bunch of walks courtesy of the Philly pen. The game-winning hit was a solid shot but even that was just off the tip of the RF's glove.

Kid Carsey Sep 05 2007 07:49 PM

Haven't watched any sports news since listening to some of the game at work, I woulda went to sleep thinking Phillies won. I echo a YAY!

Frayed Knot Sep 05 2007 08:12 PM

- Braves eighth: *Gordon pitching* - C.Jones doubled to right. - Teixeira flied out to right fielder Roberson. - McCann singled to center, C.Jones to third. - Francoeur singled to right, C.Jones scored, McCann to second - Woodward pinch-running for McCann. - Thorman pinch-hitting for Ascanio. - Thorman singled to center, Woodward to third, Francoeur to second. * Myers pitching* - On wild pitch, Woodward scored, Francoeur to third, Thorman to second. - Escobar walked on four pitches. - Diaz infield single to short, Francoeur scored, Thorman to third, Escobar to second. - Harris walked on a full count, Thorman scored, Escobar to third, Diaz to second. - K.Johnson fouled out to third baseman Nunez. - C.Jones flied out to left fielder Werth. Braves 9th: - Teixeira struck out. - Pena pinch-hitting for Miller. - Pena grounded out, first baseman Howard to pitcher Myers. - Francoeur infield single to third. - On defensive indifference, Francoeur to second. - Prado infield single to third, Francoeur to third. - Escobar walked on four pitches, Prado to second. - Diaz doubled to right, Francoeur scored, Prado scored, Escobar scored. Teams up by 6 runs in the 8th had won the previous 517 consecutive times.

Zvon Sep 05 2007 08:55 PM

Ill have to watch that Phils game-it will be replayed here in a bit. I wisked over those spoilers, tho did see that final score. Still should be interesting. I am starting to feel worried about Maine. I also think he should be rested a bit at this point, but kept sharp. It would be such a waste if he was not given a chance (or able) to pitch in ..........hmmm,dont wanna take anything for granted or jinx........ what Ill call some of the more meaningful games next month.

Rockin' Doc Sep 05 2007 09:33 PM

Watching the highlights of the Braves comeback victory over the Phillies did make me feel a little better about the events of the day. The Mets get some much needed and well earned rest before the Mets host the Astros.

Willets Point Sep 06 2007 06:36 AM

I'm not talking to any of you who are rooting for the Braves. Watch out or Atlanta may snag the Wild Card and kick the Mets ass in the NLCS. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The NL East title is entirely in the Mets' hands. There's nothing the Phillies can do about it. Rooting for the Phillies to lose when they're not playing the Mets is just being a weenie.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 06 2007 06:46 AM

Rooting for the Braves to lose is just being about six years behind the times.

metirish Sep 06 2007 06:52 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 06 2007 06:58 AM

It's cool with me when a team losses and it helps the Mets but I'm not actively rooting for the Braves to win or the Phillies to lose and I would certainly heed Willets warning. Probably the only team I actively root for to lose is the yankees.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 06 2007 06:57 AM

If the Phillies won yesterday, they would have been four games behind. If the lead is still at four when the Phillies come to Shea a week from tomorrow, then Philadelphia is a sweep away from being one game out. It's important, therefore, to keep the Phillies as far behind as possible before that series starts. If the Phillies come to town six or more games out, the Mets will be in much better shape. The Braves are 2.5 games further away from the Mets than the Phillies are. With only 23 games left, that's fairly significant. They're the lesser threat right now.

Willets Point Sep 06 2007 09:06 AM

See I look at it that if the Phillies are 4 games out when they come to Shea, it's a good chance for the Mets to put them 7 games out. Call me a cockeyed optimist but I think the Mets can win the division by winning a lot of ballgames. And if they don't, it's their own damned fault.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 06 2007 09:09 AM

Then why are you worrying about Atlanta in the NLCS? If the Mets don't beat them, it's their own damn fault!
