IGT 9/23/07--Mets @ Marlins

bmfc1 Sep 23 2007 09:37 AM

From Delcos. Note Gomez in the lineup which means that we'll see if Lastings' outburst hurts the team. I'm surprised that Willie is going with the rookie over the vet, Shawn Green, even though it would mean a lefty-lefty match-up. METS SS Jose Reyes 2B Luis Castillo 3B David Wright CF Carlos Beltran LF Moises Alou 1B Carlos Delgado C Paul Lo Duca RF Carlos Gomez P John Maine

Benjamin Grimm Sep 23 2007 09:46 AM

Maine needs to get his shit together TODAY. If he does, the Mets should have little trouble winning. If he doesn't, it's going to be a slugfest, and who knows who'll end up on top. Phillies today have a lopsided pitching matchup in their favor. Today's game is pretty darn important. (As they've all been lately.)

bmfc1 Sep 23 2007 10:05 AM

Humber goes Wednesday? Nothing against Humber but that's an interesting time for him to reappear. Pedro pitched on Friday so Wednesday should be his turn. I know that they want to give him an extra day of rest but the team doesn't have that luxury.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 23 2007 10:18 AM

From Newsday: ]Willie Randolph hinted yesterday that Pedro Martinez could come back on regular rest to start Wednesday. Unless the Mets open up a four-game lead by Wednesday morning, I think Pedro has to pitch that game.

bmfc1 Sep 23 2007 10:19 AM

I agree. Delcos has WR with the Humber news from this morning.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 11:07 AM

That Phils/Nats game, now with Washington in the lead 1-0, will be the last baseball game ever at RFK Stadium. *Salute

Valadius Sep 23 2007 11:22 AM

David's got his average up to .321.

holychicken Sep 23 2007 11:29 AM

Looks like Maine is throwing some strikes. I like that.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 11:47 AM

OH! Thank you Mr. Alou. Great catch. *wipes brow

Gwreck Sep 23 2007 11:49 AM

1-1, middle 5th in the WAS-PHI game. Had to bring in 2 relievers to get out of the inning, one walked Howard to load the bases, the second got Rowand to ground out to end it.

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2007 12:03 PM

Zvon - "That Phils/Nats game, now with Washington in the lead 1-0, will be the last baseball game ever at RFK Stadium." The Nationals owe it to their fans to close out their time at RFK on a winning note. Come on Nationals!

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2007 12:06 PM

After three innings in Miami, it's the Fish leading the Mets by a score of 2-0. The Mets needs to get their offense going.

bmfc1 Sep 23 2007 12:08 PM

Philadelphia gets a gift run to take the lead, 2-1.

TransMonk Sep 23 2007 12:10 PM

Business at hand: Mets down 2-0. Beltran has balls.

martin Sep 23 2007 12:10 PM

i have read a couple times that beltran is the most efficient base runner who ever lived, according to some numbers somewhere. he isnt hurting his case with that move there.

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2007 12:12 PM

Delgado strikes out swinging. The Mets will need a two out hit from LoDuca to score Beltran.

TransMonk Sep 23 2007 12:13 PM

Paul LoDuca is my hero. Tie game.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 12:13 PM

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2007 12:14 PM

LoDuca ties it up with a big Kaboom!!!!

bmfc1 Sep 23 2007 12:18 PM

Washington ties it.

Gwreck Sep 23 2007 12:19 PM

Austin Kearns RBI single just tied up the WAS-PHI game.

bmfc1 Sep 23 2007 12:19 PM

Zvon--All of them are great but incorporating KABOOM onto a sign is outstanding.

Gwreck Sep 23 2007 12:26 PM

Washington takes the lead on a HBP with the bases loaded.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 12:37 PM

Maine with 5 Ks in a row, 9 today! WoooHooo! <Is the holiday over? I think that avatar has served its purpose.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 12:45 PM

I like Mr. Wrights plan. Make em run for their outs.

Valadius Sep 23 2007 12:47 PM

Ryan Howard tied Adam Dunn's record for most strikeouts in a season with his 195th whiff today.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 23 2007 12:51 PM

Did Howie say Carlos Muniz in #8?

Edgy DC Sep 23 2007 12:52 PM

Overheard in the Marlin booth: "Roger Clemens has said on record that if he doesn't go in (to the Hall of Fame) as a Yankee, he's not showing up." "...? Yeah, right."

Zvon Sep 23 2007 12:57 PM

Not sure Seo. Nats still leading in the 8th by a run. I guess this will be Maine's last inning.... If he gets through it. Hermida with a seeing eye grounder up the middle, that makes him 3 for 3. Mets have Feliciano and Sosa up in the pen.

TransMonk Sep 23 2007 01:00 PM

The bullpen will be asked to get 12 outs this afternoon. My stomach is beginning to turn.

Mets.com has him with #38. I can't recall a pitcher ever having a single digit number.

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2007 01:07 PM

Marlins retake the lead on a ground ball single by Linden. Marlins at first and second with 1 out. Willie pulls Feliciano in favor of Sosa.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 23 2007 01:08 PM

Gwreck Sep 23 2007 01:10 PM

Good job by Sosa (and Beltran). Plenty of time to get runs back.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 01:10 PM

YES! Beltran hauls it in! Well folks, that could have been worse.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2007 01:13 PM

I think we're 1 for 17 on bunts today. I may not have that exactly correct but it's close.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 01:15 PM

Humber will get the start Wednesday. Beltran looked hobbled to say the least. Limping down the dugout steps. I think that'll be all for him today. Nationals are up 5-2 and still rallying in the 8th.

TransMonk Sep 23 2007 01:17 PM

Washington pulling away in the 8th. I'd REALLY like to have this game.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2007 01:19 PM

How about that last appearance ever for Jeff Conine in Florida?

Edgy DC Sep 23 2007 01:23 PM

No interest in catching that pop, Florida?

Zvon Sep 23 2007 01:23 PM

REYES! Your lucky they can't catch. Take ball 4 if they give it to you. Jose flies out to deep center and Chavez tags to third. Come on guys, we need this run...

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2007 01:25 PM

The Nationals go to the botom of the ninth with a 5-2 lead over the Phillies. The Phillies have their big guns (Utley - Bourne - Howard - Rowand) due up in the ninth. Utley opens with a ground rule double. Come on Cordero! Cordero K's pinch hitter Victorino.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 01:31 PM

Thats Utley's 47th double of the season, Doc. Howard bats with one out there Mota on for the Mets. Lets keep it at a one run deficit Mr.Mota.

seawolf17 Sep 23 2007 01:31 PM

You know what I always like to see? Guillermo Mota in the game. He always makes me feel so comfortable that we'll get to see a nice, long inning with lots of runs.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 01:35 PM

Rowand just singled in a run, its 5-3 Nats. Still only one out there, 1st and 2nd for the Phils.

In Washington, Howard walks and Rowand singles. Utley scores and Howard goes to second. Wes Helms facing Cordero. Grab some pine Helms. Cordero strikes him out with a ball in the dirt. One out to go, then it will be up to the Mets to do their part.

Zvon Sep 23 2007 01:36 PM

Nice inning for Mota.

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2007 01:43 PM

Okay, now it's time for the Mets to assert themselves and win this game. Wright opens the 8th with a walk and pinch hitter deluxe, Marlon Anderson singles to put runners at the corners with no outs. Alou in an RBI situation.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2007 01:44 PM

Where would be without MANderson?

And I'll say it. If Delgado was still a Marlin, Anderson's single would be a doubleplay. Who is our closer this afternoon? Sosalicious again?

Gwreck Sep 23 2007 01:48 PM

Billy Wags to close today.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 23 2007 01:49 PM

So-so's already pitched. He bailed out Feliciano/Maine. Heilman warming, Wagner walking around. 6 outs to get still

Not for nothing but Mota was kind enough to make it so Cabrera leads off the inning. Seems like a) The Mets cannot get out Cabrera whatever they do b) Willie is obsessed with getting out Cabrera As I type, Heilman walks him

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2007 01:59 PM

Lead off walks are not good. Lets get a nice 4-6-3 DP here.

I didn't think I'd be saying this was a great game, because how can you when some of your players fail you like that? But ya know what? Thats baseball and this was a great game.

I watched this on TiVo delay and for me, it just ended. Delgado's homer was the first time I can recall jumping up and down with joy during a regular season game in years. Now that it's over, I'm not all that concerned about the blown save. Heilman was overworked and Wagner was rusty. (And the guy who hit the homer, Uggla, is no chump.) Thank you for winning today, Washington. Hope you guys enjoy the postgame RFK ceremonies. No offense, but we now would like you to lose your next three games.

How about sending Smitty up to bunt? He had only thrown 12 pitches.
