Mets technically have only one catcher until the mystery call up appears. I really wasn't aware that they can't say who until he shows up? Woodward is the emergency catcher, who said in short pre-game interview, he'd rather not be called into action but is ready. (paraphrasing, of course)

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 07:42 PM

Mr. Met should be the emergency catcher. Welcome back, Carlos. It would be nice to get through an August without a cascade of injuries.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 07:45 PM

Two out and a runner on second, Glavine gets behind 3-0 on Bay, who homered in the first. He goes ahead and intentionally puts him on, ending a three game walkless streak.

Jacobs wearing #27, for mbtn.com reference.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 07:57 PM

Last player to lead the league in hits for the Buccos. My first guess is Bill Madlock. Second is Johnny Ray. Third is Matty Alou circa 1969.

seawolf17 Aug 17 2005 08:03 PM

Madlock. Good guess.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 08:03 PM

Beltran scored the first run from first on a single? Wow. Now he bunt singles.

seawolf17 Aug 17 2005 08:04 PM

And now he steals second. How 'bout that Beltran? So they walk Floyd. With nobody out. To get to David Wright. MORONS.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 08:05 PM

And he steals easily. And they walk Floyd. Let's hope nobody ever gets around to reading the book on Wright.

Frayed Knot Aug 17 2005 08:05 PM

Concussion, what concussion? (a statement which can be taken one of several ways)

seawolf17 Aug 17 2005 08:08 PM

And a WP moves the runners up. Ralph suggests walking Wright. Which, if you're crazy enough to walk Floyd, isn't so crazy. As Wright drives in two with a base hit.

seawolf17 Aug 17 2005 08:15 PM

Andy Van Slyke, 1992. Never would have guessed him.

seawolf17 Aug 17 2005 08:22 PM

OOTS: Royals have lost 18 straight with a loss in Seattle. Yowza.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 08:34 PM

For most of his career, Andy Van Slyke was useless against lefties. His batting average split sometimes like .352/.180.

Valadius Aug 17 2005 08:41 PM

Maybe getting busted up knocked something in Carlos's head back into place.

seawolf17 Aug 17 2005 08:43 PM

LLOYD: This Floyd guy is dangerous. COACH: Maybe we should walk him. COACH 2: Didn't we walk him last time? LLOYD: Yeah, because he's dangerous. COACH 2: Who's on deck? LLOYD: Some Wright guy. Young kid. We can get him. COACH: Yeah, good plan. COACH 2: Yeah, good plan.

Valadius Aug 17 2005 08:46 PM

Wow. McClendon has no clue what he's doing.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 08:48 PM

Kris Benson may be saying the same thing right now.

Frayed Knot Aug 17 2005 08:54 PM

Diaz - in the span of less than a week since his callup - has had a 2 HR game, a 3-K game, several GiDPs, plus a 9th inning check-swing groundout w/tieing run on 3rd and 1 out. And in his early season stint had a few weeks where he was hitting .400+, followed by several weeks of sub-.200 hitting. Isn't this the kind of feast/famine complaints that fans have about Cameron?

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 09:01 PM

Yeah, but Cameron was mailing it in. Another bad call by Angel Hernandez burns Reyes. On the other hand, it was closer, on replay, than I thought.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 09:06 PM

This'll be a save --- or hold --- situation for Heilman, with the tying run on deck.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 09:12 PM

Wow! Heilman's revenge.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 17 2005 09:17 PM

I much prefer the Spanish broadcasts. I don't get annoyed with them, but I never have a problem following the games.

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 09:19 PM

Beltran should steal and see if they walk Floyd again.

TheOldMole Aug 17 2005 09:19 PM

On radio?

soupcan Aug 17 2005 09:20 PM

FSNY is broadcasting in Spanish tonight. MSG is English.

Valadius Aug 17 2005 09:22 PM

This looks quite familiar...

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 09:23 PM

O-o-T SB: Chicago 4 Houston 2 (9) Yay! Atlanta 7 Los Angles 2 (6) Boo! Florida 6 San Diego 0 (F) Big Boo! Philadelphia 4 Washington 3 Eh...

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 09:25 PM

The Mets have Graves and Looper up in the pen. I guess they're expecting this to be easy... or hard.

smg58 Aug 17 2005 09:28 PM

Would I be jinxing Heilman if I said he was on a roll?

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 09:28 PM

Aaron looking for his first career save.

smg58 Aug 17 2005 09:32 PM

And gets it!

Edgy DC Aug 17 2005 09:33 PM

Buckles!

GYC Aug 17 2005 09:43 PM

Heilamn is clutch :D on occasion

Rockin' Doc Aug 17 2005 10:19 PM

Cameron provided speed and defense even when he wasn't hitting. The same can not be said for Diaz. I do think that Diaz could develop into a pretty consistent offensive threat in the future.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 17 2005 10:26 PM

Edgy DC wrote: Yeah, but Cameron was mailing it in. As only a mail carrier can... um... except mail carriers don't mail things in. Letter writers do. Nice strong fast game tonight. Got one tommorrow too.

Frayed Knot Aug 17 2005 11:04 PM

]I do think that Diaz could develop into a pretty consistent offensive threat in the future. I do too. I'd just wish fans would refrain from acting as if that's already the case.

Elster88 Aug 18 2005 09:49 AM

One of the vets praising Rick? ]Glavine kicked himself a little for not trusting his breaking ball against Bay, who launched a fastball over the left-field wall, but soon decided to go with a heftier selection of spinning pitches. Glavine even recorded an out in the third inning on a cutter, a rare feat for the 39-year-old left-hander. "Hey, you can teach an old dog new tricks," Glavine said he told Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson in the dugout.
