Elster88 Aug 11 2005 11:53 AM

Glavine was the winning pitcher in the Mets' 7-3 victory against the Padres on July 20. Beginning with that start, he has walked two batters in 27 innings. His ERA is 3.48 in his last eight starts and, overall, at its second-lowest point this season. Carlos Beltran is hitting .348 during the day, second in the NL.

When I read that Reyes would be getting the day off, I wondered who would be playing short in his place. I completely forgot that Woodward had been a regular at that position for the Jays. I feel a little better now, and am trying to remove the image of Jose Offerman at shortstop (his original position) from my mind. Later

How's a white guy get named Khalil? [url=www.martinsquest.com/personal/khalil_greene.htm]Oh, okay...[/url]

MFS62 Aug 11 2005 03:21 PM

And why is her brother wearing a f'n Yankees cap? I guess the YES network reaches Key West. Later

I once met a Boston sculptor named Khalil Gibran and yeah he was a white guy of Lebanese ancestory. He was really funny and insightful.

Willets Point Aug 11 2005 03:36 PM

No but he's related to that guy.

cooby Aug 11 2005 03:38 PM

Wow, that is very neat. That book is one of my treasured possessions

soupcan Aug 11 2005 03:39 PM

Ahem. In-Game-Thread. The only Khalil's to be discussed here are the one's playing.

Elster88 Aug 11 2005 03:40 PM

Woody sets 'em down 1-2-3.

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 03:46 PM

Yeah, but when our number-seven slot comes around, then we'll see who has the best woody.

soupcan Aug 11 2005 03:51 PM

You're saying that both teams have wood?

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 04:04 PM

We lose the first Wood-man matchup.

Elster88 Aug 11 2005 04:08 PM

Glavine breaks up the perfect game with a single. Kazuo strikes out. No score - bottom of the third coming up.

Willets Point Aug 11 2005 04:15 PM

Woody Woody Woody Woody Woody Woody Woodsy

soupcan Aug 11 2005 04:17 PM

Glavine's a strikeout machine. Still no score.

Elster88 Aug 11 2005 04:17 PM

A two-out professional double causes no damage. 3 quick scoreless innings.

Centerfield Aug 11 2005 04:28 PM

Cliff Floyd doubles in Beltran. 1-0 good guys.

Elster88 Aug 11 2005 04:29 PM

Beltran's tenth steal prior to Floyd's double makes him the sixth Met to have double digit steals this year.

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 04:35 PM

And the first time the Mets have done so since 1989: HoJo 41 Samuel 31 Jefferies 21 McReynolds 15 Dykstra 13 Straw 11

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 04:38 PM

Giveback! Fart!

Willets Point Aug 11 2005 04:40 PM

Ugh, did you have to remind me of Juan Samuel?

Elster88 Aug 11 2005 04:41 PM

Three singles.

MFS62 Aug 11 2005 04:43 PM

Can someone of the Mets please figure out how to pitch to Randa (is he still mad at us for trading him?) and the entire Giles family? Later

Elster88 Aug 11 2005 04:46 PM

Tom Glavine, professional hitter.

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 04:46 PM

This doesn't fit in this IGT, but I found this Brian Bohanon photo for my avatar, and I figured I'd stick it in here. Remember the white hat days? Yikes.

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 04:47 PM

Willie said earlier this season that if he was stuck, he'd turn to Glavine to pinch-hit. Not a terrible idea in the sixteenth inning or something crazy.

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 04:49 PM

Ugly inning, guys.

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2005 04:50 PM

I noticed that in the Braves/Giants game that went 12 innings the other day both managers used pitchers as PHers (to hit for other pitchers). I don't think either had a hit.

Centerfield Aug 11 2005 05:14 PM

Glavine 3 for 3. I wonder if he can play 2nd.

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 05:16 PM

First would be fine. Last Met pitcher to get four hits was...

MFS62 Aug 11 2005 05:17 PM

Maybe batting coach? Later

KC Aug 11 2005 05:23 PM

OMG, Cammie and Beltran on a wicked collision in center.

ABG Aug 11 2005 05:23 PM

Oh Fuck.

KC Aug 11 2005 05:25 PM

Both players were down for at least a minute. Beltran is up, Cammie is down and getting some serious attention. Head to head, it was freakin' nasty.

Centerfield Aug 11 2005 05:29 PM

Cammie going out on a stretcher. Beltran appears to have some shoulder injury. This is bad.

KC Aug 11 2005 05:31 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Aug 11 2005 05:34 PM

Beltran able to walk off the field. Cammie is strapped to a board and will be driven off the field and somewhat immobilized. He has moved parts of his upper body (watching football, that's a big picture good sign, I guess).

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 05:33 PM

Holy crap.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 11 2005 05:35 PM

Just stomach churning stuff. I hope Cammie's ok.

ABG Aug 11 2005 05:37 PM

In relatively unimportant news, 2-1 Padres on Randa's single.

Beenso Aug 11 2005 05:39 PM

that was just hard to watch. hopefully they are both ok.

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 05:48 PM

Floyd plunked on the knee. Grrr.......

willpie Aug 11 2005 05:48 PM

I can't think of anything to say that isn't the f-word.

KC Aug 11 2005 05:48 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 11 2005 05:48 PM

Jesus, Floyd hit on knee bu Otsuka ... you could hear bone!

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 05:48 PM

DAMMIT! What the hell is going on out there?

ABG Aug 11 2005 05:49 PM

Wow. Just...wow.

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 05:51 PM

I want this game badly, but Cliff should be out of it.

Beenso Aug 11 2005 05:51 PM

talk about some bad luck....how bout we plunk one of them....just for the hell of it

Nymr83 Aug 11 2005 05:52 PM

i dont care if that was intentional or not...bean their leadoff man.

Beenso Aug 11 2005 05:53 PM

i think the mets might be outnumbered in the brawl though.

Beenso Aug 11 2005 05:57 PM

and know there out checking out hernandez

Centerfield Aug 11 2005 05:58 PM

Roberto takes a line drive off the pitching hand. Someone wake me when it's over.

ABG Aug 11 2005 06:01 PM

Today would be a good day to rally for an inspiring win.

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 06:02 PM

I second willpie's thought.

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 06:06 PM

Ted Robinson reports that Cammy and Beltran are -- and I quote -- "alert." That really doesn't make me feel any better. Cammy's at the hospital, Beltran is still in the park.

KC Aug 11 2005 06:10 PM

Pads win. Let's hope everyone is ok.

Centerfield Aug 11 2005 06:10 PM

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

KC Aug 11 2005 06:11 PM

Yeah, that too.

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 06:13 PM

MLB netcast just cut out on me. Robinson (I think) just said they'd be talking to Jim Duquette on the postgame. Anybody still with the game, please post.

Nymr83 Aug 11 2005 06:16 PM

]FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK i second that. the Mets should probably cut gerald williams and recall Victor Diaz from AAA immediately.

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 06:17 PM

I think that won't happen. More likely, both players will be visiting the disabled list.

Edgy DC Aug 11 2005 06:21 PM

How about that macabre detail from Ralph Kiner? Yeesh.

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 06:23 PM

Duq says Cameron is on his way to the hospital and had cuts on both lips. but was otherwise alert and responsive. Beltran -- at least for now -- is relatively okay, with a cut on his face and some shoulder soreness. Dammit.

He played in a game at Ebbets field when Pete Reiser (a young star who shortened his career considerably by running into fences in the pre-padding days) injured himself so badly he was given last rites on the field.

seawolf17 Aug 11 2005 06:44 PM

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- New York Mets right fielder Mike Cameron was taken off the field on a stretcher following a frightening head-to-head collision with center fielder Carlos Beltran in the seventh inning of a 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday. The game was delayed for about 13 minutes after the diving crash. Cameron lay on the field and was tended to by trainers from both teams before being taken to Mercy Hospital. "He's surprisingly alert and doing well," Mets assistant general manager Jim Duquette said. "He's alert and moving, and that's a good sign. Duquette said Cameron experienced dizziness and had some pain in the front part of his shoulder and a cut on his upper lip. He said Beltran was examined by the Padres' doctor at the stadium and "everything came out normal." Cameron lifted up his head at one point, and shielded his eyes from the sun as he was put onto a stretcher by paramedics, lifted onto a cart and driven off the field. He was immobilized and put in a neck brace. Beltran got up after a few minutes after the collision and walked off the field on his own power. He left the game with a sore left shoulder and a cut on the face.

What Centerfield said.

Rockin' Doc Aug 11 2005 10:49 PM

Petco Field turned into a house of horrors today.

Edgy DC Aug 14 2005 05:08 PM

According to the guys in the booth today, Cliff Floyd reported a leftfield heckler, right after the collision, saying, "Hey, Floyd, you're next!"

ScarletKnight41 Aug 14 2005 05:11 PM

Damn - I've met that heckler. Seriously - an axe murderer (i.e., someone I've met on the Internet) once removed - an Internet friend of mine knows this guy Harry the Heckler at Petco, and she told me to look for him last summer when we were out there. Hopefully it's not the same guy. But this guy is known for heckling the opposing team at Petco.
