Martinez 2-0, 1.69 @ Olsen 9-14, 6.06 Got to. Just got to.

TransMonk Sep 20 2007 09:57 PM

For Pete's sake, the Kenny Loggins worked for Wednesday's game...I'll try anything. There's a river in Evening ember glow And you're wishing you could see How far it flows Rolling on to an endless sea You'd be well on your way If you could only set sail. But dreams can drift away And sails can fill with doubt Where's your vision If the embers flicker out? Don't let it slip from view The horizons are waiting Your river is fading So keep the fire burning tonight See just what comes into sight Don't take forever Take it through the night And believe the sun Will rise with the dawn That's all you need to go on But for tonight Just keep the fire burning bright I will never need to ask "What have I done?" Comes a moment when it's clear There's only one. Oh, whatever you need of me I've made up my mind I'll give you more than you've asked for And there are those who can foresee Where we will go All the future... I don't really want to know Only that you'll be here with me. While the embers still glow We'll be safe till tomorrow.

Hopefully the extra days rest will be good for Pedro.....was Glavine on regular rest or an extra days rest,IIRC he doesn't like to not pitch on his regular day and the results are not good when he doesn't,at least I think they aren't.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 07:32 AM

I repeat: a 6.06 ERA. Mota territory.

The Mets need to jump on Olsen early. They need to score some early runs and knock him out early. Come on. Let's Go Mets!

Zvon Sep 21 2007 05:12 PM

Looks like they hit the ball hard in the 1st. Reads like it.... But they go 1-2-3 in the first.

Willets - "And then the relievers need to not let the Marlins get all those runs back." That's generally how it works. Speaking of the bullpen has there been any word on Wagner's status for tonight?

Willets Point Sep 21 2007 05:18 PM

No blimp tonight.

Willets Point Sep 21 2007 05:19 PM

No! It was the Mets who we wanted to score some early runs.

Zvon Sep 21 2007 05:20 PM

That damn Cabrera. Doubles in Uggly.

Gwreck Sep 21 2007 05:24 PM

Martinez got Willingham with an 89 mph fastball -- a very good sign, I think.

Zvon Sep 21 2007 05:24 PM

OK, Pedro will settle down now. If that was the typical shakey first that good pitchers have,.....it could have been shakeyer.

TransMonk Sep 21 2007 05:32 PM

Looks like rain's on the way...best to score some runs early just in case this is a short one.

Utley went to his knees like a catcher, without all that catchers equipment, btw, and just totally threw his body in front of the ball. We need that kind of playin guys. That Phils-Wash game is tied 1-1, Howard with an opposite field homer.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 05:51 PM

Ugh. Phillies have scored three in the 3rd and are still batting. 4-1 Phils.

How many years until Cabrera is a free agent? I know he's supposed to be a headcase, but he's done nothing but rake and you know the Fish won't pay him.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2007 06:06 PM

Didn't realize Alou's streak was a new team record. Cool!

Gwreck Sep 21 2007 06:06 PM

Still a coupla arbitration years left I think. He won his arbitration case this year, his first eligible year. Cabrera sure seems destined to be an AL player though.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 06:15 PM

How about the subtle gamesmanship that Pedro played? He didn't complain or show up the ump when he got punched out on that pitch, but wordlessly letting the ump know that he expected to get the same call.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 06:17 PM

Caberratic.

This is deja vu for me. Wasn't there a game last year with the Marlins where Olsen was pitching and Cabrerra had a big error or two and they got into a scuffle in the dugout? On edit: FSN Florida just confirmed it did indeed happen last year at Shea.

Zvon Sep 21 2007 06:19 PM

If you look out the window on your left you'll see the rare base hit with RISP and 2 outs. Admire its lovely plumage. Once you've see one, you'll want to see more.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 21 2007 06:30 PM

Just peeked at the score. Yay! Even if Philly wins, I'm okay if we only reduce the magic number by 1.

But if Phillie loses, the psychological edge is lost.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 21 2007 06:32 PM

56 pitches for Pedro through three. I'd like to see him get a few quick innings. I'd love for him to get 7 innings in.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 06:33 PM

The Marlins deeply need got get to the Mets' pen, down by three, with Pedro with a high count, and Olsen swings 3-1? Ha!

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 06:43 PM

I'm telling you folks, since coming back from the DL, Lo Duca has been hitting. It's being healthy, but I think he's also been liberated by hitting at the bottom of the order, and now he's no longer focused on right field and he's pulling like tractor.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2007 06:44 PM

OK, which Met snuck into Dolphin Stadium last night and did something foul to the Marlins' gloves? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Nats creeping back into it. They cut the Phillie lead from 5 to 3.

Zvon Sep 21 2007 06:50 PM

In Washington Charlie M was doin his damnest to get tossed out by the home plate ump on a reversed call concerning a hit by pitch. And it was just so kool to see a heated argument with an ump where no one got the thumb. 6-3 Phils there. Here Reyes shows where his head is at : in the game. I hope so anyway--he singles in 2 but is out at second. How'd that go down?

I've seen a couple Mets games there -- my folks don't live too far away -- and it's kind of like that now. For all the griping about it, the yard isn't really all that bad of a place to see a game. The sight lines aren't as bad as they are in some multi-purpose stadia. The atmosphere is the pits, but the arepas -- a Cuban cornbread and cheese treat -- are amazing!

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2007 07:22 PM

Seems to me that while games are frequently (read: almost every day) delayed by rain in Florida that they're rarely rained out or rain shortened. That may be totally incorrect but that's my impression and I'm sticking to it. IOW, I expect they'll wait forever before calling this one unless some named storm has suddenly appeared in southeast Florida.

soupcan Sep 21 2007 07:28 PM

I spent a summer in Sarasota, Florida some years back (many, actually) and as I recall it rained very hard in the middle of the day - every day - for about 45 minutes then cleared up. The same thing happened in the late evening.

It's a pretty lame production for a big hit song. Three questions: Say this thing restarts, who do you want on the mound? Humber was up earlier. Is it time to throw him into the breach? Are Schoeneweis and Newhan taking the day off in observance also? If MLB, in their wisdom, decides they should complete this tomorrow evening before the start of game two, what time does the sun set over Miami, allowing us to relaunch the Green Machine?

I remember that song being pretty popular that summer along with Smashmouth, Sugar Ray, Britney, all the boy bands and Limp Biscuit. Not a great time for popular music. Good year for the Mets, though.

I was mentally resigned to a rainout here. I have to get back into game mode.

Valadius Sep 21 2007 09:34 PM

The Fish have 5 errors in the game. We better win this one.

Zvon Sep 21 2007 09:35 PM

I do believe Mota does his best pitching after rain delays. Im sure one of you guys can come up with the numbers to either back that up of shoot it down. *Zvon ducks before they even start throwing stuff.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 09:36 PM

Oh, jive. Randolph is real determined to make sure Mota's name is in his obituary, isn't he?

Gwreck Sep 21 2007 09:37 PM

He did pitch a scoreless inning yesterday, I believe.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 09:38 PM

His ball seemed to be dancing there against Oliva.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2007 09:39 PM

="Gwreck"]He did pitch a scoreless inning yesterday, I believe. I don't understand why, with all the fresh arms in the pen, Willie still trots out the same guys who must be gassed and are struggling. You'd think this might be a spot for a guy like Humber.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 21 2007 09:40 PM

Is Muniz in the house?

TransMonk Sep 21 2007 09:43 PM

Encouraging inning for Sosa.

Zvon Sep 21 2007 09:44 PM

I may have to make a sign for Mota saying : "Stick a needle in it, Mota!" Hey! That was a nice inning. *Z minimizes Paint Shop Pro

Gwreck Sep 21 2007 09:44 PM

I don't understand why Humber or Sele aren't pitching now either. I know, it's a crucial game. But still, you need to get some innings somewhere, I'd wait to use the key relievers if there was a problem.

I'm sure he's afraid Humber will be overmatched and wants the more experienced guy. I understand it. Don't agree with it. But there are no obvious options.

Beltran has a bruised patella tendon, according to the radio. Will be out for at least a couple days, probably more.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 09:47 PM

That second straight scoreless inning gets Mota's ERA down to 5.80.

TransMonk Sep 21 2007 09:47 PM

If Beltran's gonna play princess I need to see more out of Delgado. That's a nice start for the other Carlos.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2007 09:47 PM

I'd run for Dukie here. Give him a rest for the balance of the game.

How does a guy with the last name of Garcia get a first name of Harvey?

Paulie's on fire! If we could ever get all our guys healthy at the same time...

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 09:50 PM

Home is where the Mets is. Lo Duca = hitting.

Valadius Sep 21 2007 09:51 PM

Dookie gets his third hit of the night. Up comes Blastings Killedge.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 09:52 PM

Greedy Willie sending Mota to the plate looking to get him a second inning.

TransMonk Sep 21 2007 09:53 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 21 2007 09:54 PM

I guess Mota will get the 7th. Upside: less likely he will pitch in a close game tomorrow. (Although, with Willie and Mota, you never know)

Valadius Sep 21 2007 09:53 PM

Is Mota SERIOUSLY HITTING?!?!?!?!?

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2007 09:53 PM

Mota's going out for a second inning. Now, if you can't use Humber, Sele, Williams, et al, with a five-run lead, then when CAN you use them?

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 09:54 PM

Garcia channelling Mike Piazza.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2007 09:54 PM

Now LoDuca comes up lame after the Marlins sixth error. Gwreck was right as this could turn out to be a costly victory. Edit: Willie let him go back out for the bottom. He must be OK.

Valadius Sep 21 2007 09:59 PM

In out of town news, Toronto has beaten the MFYs, 5-4 in the 14th inning.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2007 09:59 PM

Mets are dropping. They may get Alou one more at-bat, but they should be concerned about him being out there on the wet grass.

Clearly, since he appeared in today's game for the Marlins, the announcers were referring to his appearance in the Marlin bullpen, and I misheard. Since I've fumbled away the roster thread, I've missed some of these transactinos, but apparently Carvajal was exposed to waivers when the Mets removed him from the 40-man roster in order to activate Carlos Gomez from the 60-Day Disabled List. Zoink, claimed by Miami.
