Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:11 PM

This is gonna be a weird one for me to follow, as I can watch the game on MASN, but my TV is also acting as my monitor for my laptop until I get my new laptop. So I'll be switching between the two, most likely. Play ball!!!

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:16 PM

Anybody else noticed the resemblance between Ronnie Belliard and Carmelo Anthony?

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:20 PM

In out-of-town news, Atlanta's leading the Phillies 3-0 after a 3-run Teixeira homer.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:22 PM

Oh Jesus Christ. Bluhhhhhhhhhhh.

Centerfield Sep 25 2007 05:24 PM

Fucking Nationals.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:25 PM

ANOTHER ONE?!?!? Dammit Glavine, you're better than this!!!

metirish Sep 25 2007 05:28 PM

Damn,I take a shower and come back it's 4 zip.......Philly are down 3 to 1...looks like a slugfest there.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:28 PM

Okay Mets. Get fired up. Let's knock Bergmann around.

Centerfield Sep 25 2007 05:29 PM

Unfuckingbelievable. These guys do nothing but piss me off.

Kid Carsey Sep 25 2007 05:30 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 25 2007 05:31 PM

cdw.com has macbooks in stock. Order one. Please. Alright, so let's get a few back. I'm remarkably calm about this week, I must be going through some kind of fansitional period in my life.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:30 PM

JOSE GOES KABOOM!!!!!!

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:36 PM

So Reyes leads off with a homer, and the next three hitters all ground out. Kinda like the Bizarro version of how things have gone lately.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:41 PM

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2007 05:46 PM

Is Milledge available today or is it one more game?

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:49 PM

Dunno. Green having a great at-bat here.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2007 05:52 PM

It's not easy beating Green

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:53 PM

Shawn Green drives in Alou after an AWESOME at-bat!!!!!!

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 05:53 PM

Bob Carpenter, showing the announcing skill that has gotten him fired from Nationals TV: "If that ground ball was 10 feet either way, it would have been a double play." And if my aunt had....

Valadius Sep 25 2007 05:57 PM

I was wondering who that blowhard was. I can't stand listening to him.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 05:58 PM

Vlad--you won't have to much longer as Stan Kasten gave him the boot as of the end of the season.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 06:02 PM

Thank God for that. Carpenter: "Beautiful skyline tonight. Oh that's the fake one, sorry."

Johnny Dickshot Sep 25 2007 06:04 PM

Great effort, Tom. Way to be the stopper we need. (sarcasm detector explodes)

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 06:13 PM

OMG. 4-3 Atlanta. Ryan Howard with a bomb.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 06:15 PM

Tommy doesn't want Pelfrey to feel so bad about sucking last night. And Maine, too. And he's lowering the bar for Humber.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 06:16 PM

Dammit, Tom! That Justin Maxwell, though, looks like he's gonna be a star.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 06:36 PM

Glavine's probably done. What a mess.

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 06:45 PM

Jose, get with the freaking program.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 06:47 PM

And Philadelphia takes the lead, 5-4.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 25 2007 06:48 PM

Fuckshit.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 06:48 PM

Fucking Zimmerman.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 06:49 PM

I don't know about you guys, but I'm going out of my mind. Lead off double and the guy doesn't score. 1st and 3d with Wright up and the sucky, sucky Nationals turn a brilliant DP. What the hell is going on?

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 06:49 PM

Two runs there if Jose gits that runner over. Iggy's mad.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 25 2007 06:50 PM

It's fucking Reyes' fault. Can't even get the fucking guy to third.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 06:50 PM

Was Wright safe?

Johnny Dickshot Sep 25 2007 06:51 PM

He was very out.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 25 2007 06:52 PM

Let's give a hearty Welcome Abordick to Carlos Muniz.

Nymr83 Sep 25 2007 06:52 PM

OK, just got here. AHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH Sonofa... And the kid tomorrow? Freaking Glavine. HALL OF FAMERS STEP UP IN THESE SITUATIONS Dammnit. I feel a little better.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 25 2007 06:56 PM

And they even have the kharma of the pinstripes and blue caps!

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 06:58 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 25 2007 06:59 PM

Atlanta, 6-5. BTW, it's that sucky Joe West/CB Bucknor crew in Philadelphia. It's not like it's a big series so of course you want some of the worst umpires in the game making the calls.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 25 2007 06:58 PM

Pretty decent sinker and slider. Most importantly, a scoreless inning. Lets get some fucking runs here.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 06:58 PM

No they don't. It's black-and-blue tonight.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 25 2007 06:59 PM

Nice debut by Muniz! Now let's get 'em all back!

Valadius Sep 25 2007 06:59 PM

That was an excellent stab by Wright to rob Maxwell.

Not pinstriped neither.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 07:04 PM

8-5 Atlanta.

holychicken Sep 25 2007 07:06 PM

I know it sounds crazy. . . but are the Nats stealing signs or something? It is uncanny that the worst offense in the league is pounding every one of our pitchers. I just don't get it. . .I am going mad over here. MAD I TELL YOU - MAD!

metsguyinmichigan Sep 25 2007 07:09 PM

Bergman's over 100 pitches (Thanks to Alou's marathon at-bat) Let's get this guy out of here.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 07:10 PM

'I know it sounds crazy. . . but are the Nats stealing signs or something?" That's it! Acta was a coach with the Mets last year and the Mets forgot to change the signs! Oops!

Rockin' Doc Sep 25 2007 07:11 PM

Since I can't see the Mets game, I decided to catch the Braves game in hopes of cheering them on against the Phillies. Just my luck, TBS isn't carrying the game tonight. It's not often I would wish to cheer for the Braves (okay it's practically never), but I'm willing to make the sacrifice if it helps the Mets clinch a postseason spot. I Just can't catch a damn break. I was even willing to give the Tomahawk Chop a try if it might help Atlanta win. Let's Go Mets!!!!!

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 07:12 PM

Last night, WR pinch-hit Green for Conine to avoid righty-righty... will he do the opposite now to avoid lefty-lefty?

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 07:13 PM

You let smoking hot Green face a lefty here or go to Niner? Answer NOW!!!

metsguyinmichigan Sep 25 2007 07:14 PM

C'mon Shawn!!!!!! One of the guys at work looks like Green, and his desk is covered bobble heads and photos and such.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 25 2007 07:14 PM

Green's been smoking mostly righties, no? Gotta go with Conine, I think. Edit: Screw me. Go Shawn!

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 07:14 PM

I think I let Nine take a cut. No bad choices here. Milledge. Castro.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 07:14 PM

Edgy--Leave Green in.

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 07:15 PM

Sticking with the Greenback is fine.

Radio guys critical of Willie for leaving Muniz in for this batter....

Johnny Dickshot Sep 25 2007 07:27 PM

Gotta induce the triple play here. (I was OK letting Green hit. He 's one of the only guys I have any cahnfidence in)

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 07:29 PM

Utley homers. Man, he is good. 8-6 Atlanta, bottom 7, 2 out.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 25 2007 07:29 PM

And Green comes out now in a double switch. Schoenweis.....proved me wrong last time. I'm open to him doing that again.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 07:30 PM

Willie, you schmuck, WHY are you sending Carlos Freaking Gomez in for Shawn Green? Gomez can't hit for shit!!!

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 07:30 PM

Way to go, Rook.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 25 2007 07:30 PM

Nope, it's Sosa....

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 07:34 PM

Delgado saved a run.

bmfc1 Sep 25 2007 07:34 PM

Nice job Willie. Schneider is a LEFTY. Schoeneweis is a lefty. WAKE THE HELL UP!

Johnny Dickshot Sep 25 2007 07:34 PM

Reyes is going to play us right out of the playoffs. What a fucking disaster.

Sosa.............c'mon, guys.......killing me. Radio guys piling on Willie for bringing in Sosa instead of Schoenweis.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 25 2007 07:36 PM

Sosa got two outs. Its that Reyes can't be bothered to pull his head out of his ass.

Rockin' Doc Sep 25 2007 08:25 PM

An Atlanta hot streak seems to be the Mets best hope for fending off the Phillies. The Braves have Hudson and Smoltz going in the next two games in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, the Mets sure aren't doing anything to earn a playoff spot right now. Sooner or later, the Mets have to win a few games if they really wish to be in the postseason. I'm really starting to wonder if they are up to the task.

KABOOM!!!!!! Jose, however, looks very stoned.

I see. All I had to do was to start being a dick.

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 08:35 PM

Getting deeper into the pen in game one is a small victory in itself.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 25 2007 08:36 PM

Maybe our boys were inspired to see the Braves-Phillies final.

MVP time. Let's go David!!!

I know what you mean MGIM. I have pretty much the same situation here. The CPF members are my virtual drinking buddies.

Have we ever solved Cordero?

Rockin' Doc Sep 25 2007 08:39 PM

They're just messin' with us, stringing us along so that the pain of ultimate defeat is that much worse.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 08:40 PM

MVP!!! MVP!!!

Moises can become an all-time Mets legend here!

Steve Henderson, in my darkest hour, I call on you now.

Running for Alou - absolutely! But Delgado can make him trot home anyway.

I told you they were just messing with us. It worked too.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 08:53 PM

I'm with MGIM. This team has life again. And Alou should win Schaefer Player of the Month after tonight's game.

TransMonk Sep 25 2007 08:54 PM

I heard on the radio as I was driving home that they were down 10-3 in the ninth. I turned on the game right as Reyes hit his 2nd HR. Close.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2007 08:54 PM

Fun inning there fore a while -- but unfortunately it's too late in the year for moral victories and nothing can cover up the recent pitching deficiencies.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2007 08:56 PM

A 3 hour 40 minute game ... and it's STILL quicker than the still in progress Yanqui game.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 25 2007 08:57 PM

I bet they go out tomorrow and beat the snot out of these guys. Humber gets a win and we'll be at 3.

Edgy DC Sep 25 2007 08:57 PM

I'll take a moral victory if it means something tomorrow. It beats the alternative that we had heading to the ninth. Can't disagree about the pitching. Aaron Sele, sleep on that last run. Willie Randolph, sleep on your decision to sit on Schoeneweis. Sleep a little poorly.

soupcan Sep 25 2007 09:01 PM

This team, the Mets, that all you guys like and root for? They fucking suck and I hate them.

metirish Sep 25 2007 09:16 PM

I'm shattered after that....really WTF was Chavez at,I can't remember a Mets team so terrible and dumb on the bases,and it sseems to have gotten worse in the second half....

metirish Sep 25 2007 09:19 PM

And Kevin Burkhart tells us tonight that Fred came down to have a chat with Willie and Omar over reports that they are on the outs,Omar then give Willie a vote of confidence.......

Unfortunately for him, Willie's certainly been around long enough (and been around the Bronx long enough) to have an idea what that's worth.

martin Sep 25 2007 10:07 PM

went to the game. nobody was left in the stands for the comeback. moises alou, that guy is incredible. really incredible.

Zvon Sep 25 2007 10:54 PM

I say the hitting barrage in the 9th gives us the momentum we need to close this thing out. If the Mets can start really whipping their hittin sticks, this could also bolster the pitching confidence in the sense that they should be able to losen up a little, and not feel like the season is hanging on every pitch,.....which,...it kinda is. Alou has been unbelievable. Chavez stealing third with 2 strikes on Delgado......Can someone explain to me the logic in this? Maybe if he had one strike on him... then look for a the sac. But with 2 strikes Chavez becomes nothing but a distraction, and we have a wiff, two out and no chance for a sac fly. Stealing at that specific point: highly illogical captain. You do not pin your hopes on a wild pitch. That double play Wright hit into in the 7th. CRAZY MAN! What a play by Zimm and the Nats infield. Shea looked sparse of crowd at the start, in the middle, and at the end of the game, from what I've seen from just looking at highlights. Both J-Roll and Da Prince of Milwaukee just slid into the MVP race lead tonight, and it REALLY pains me to say this, but Rollins, whether the Phils make the post or not, is going to win this award. Why? Because Rollins is the first player in major league history to have at least 200 hits, 15 triples, 25 homers and 25 steals in the same year. When the Phils had no Howard and lost Utley, he kept that team in it. Fielder could possibly inch him out, because the allure of the 50 HR's is huge. But 2 more triples, and Jimmy's 200+/20/30/30, and he takes it away from anyone and everyone. As we all know, Phils lost and they have to be wishing for the same thing we are: PITCHING! Starters that can go quality/deep and a bullpen that can do its job, if only half the time. And man, checking the active races for playoff spots, this is just wack. I was never a fan of the wildcard, but it has won me over. I say make one more WC spot. And lets go get em tomorrow.

Other than that it was played perfectly. Just read the IGT. That was a perfect description of exactly what happened there FK. In the box score it looks like a simple infield single. In reality it was a blotched play and the following run ended up being a big run for the Nats. A BIG run

Why? Because Rollins is the first player in major league history to have at least 200 hits, 15 triples, 25 homers and 25 steals in the same year so what? a walk is as good as a single, 200 hits is way overrated. triples are nice, but a homerun is better and plenty of guys have hit 40 homers, so theres really nothing that special about 25 homers and 15 triples together either.

Valadius Sep 25 2007 11:51 PM

Rollins is not going to win. Granderson's put up similar numbers in Detroit, and he's not coming close to A-Rod, or even Magglio's votes, for that matter. It's between Wright, Fielder, and Holliday, and it's gonna come down to the wire.

I think the near comeback in the ninth means nothing going forward,scoring runs has not been a problem,our pitching is piss poor and we have a rookie going out there tonight,the Braves have Hudson going tonight so maybe that will be a help.

The 7 was shut down in GCT around 6:30 due to a stalled train.... They ripped my freaking heart out. I went to the game - took the train in, and because the 7 was shut down, grabbed a cab with a few others who were also going to the game... I got there in the 2nd inning, with the score already 4-1, so I never felt like they were in it until the end. They had to make me believe first before they shoved the knife deep into my heart, the bastards.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 26 2007 07:36 AM

I imagined the Nationals radio announcer saying, "The Nationals win! They win the damn thing by a score of 10 to 9!" It was that kind of a game.
