No thread yet? That would be bad P'burgh Duffy, CF McLouth, rf Bay, lf Eldred, 1b Mackowiack, 3b Doumit to Hell, c Castillo, 2b Wilson, ss Duke, p N' York Reyes, ss Cairo, 1b Beltran, cf Floyd, lf Wright, 3b Woodward, rf (huh?) Castro, c Matsui, 2b Zambrano, p

Pittsburgh up 1-0 after three, on a two-out single by Doumit and a over Beltran by Castillo, who was thrown out going for three.

OlerudOwned Aug 18 2005 07:52 PM

I zoned out and just realized that 3 innings have already happened. "Not Luis" Castillo had an RBI double in the second for the Irates (edit: yeah, what he said)

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 07:53 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 18 2005 07:54 PM

Eldred homers and it's 3-0.

GYC Aug 18 2005 07:54 PM

Zambrano has options left, right?

OlerudOwned Aug 18 2005 07:54 PM

grr...the Brad homers in Bay and himself. 3-0 Pierats

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 07:55 PM

Let's not use options punitively. Let's use our bats. That HbP of Bay was Zambrano's eleventh, which ties him for the fifth hit-batsemenest season in Metstory.

OlerudOwned Aug 18 2005 07:56 PM

God Doumit Zamby sucks today!

GYC Aug 18 2005 07:58 PM

:roll:

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 08:00 PM

Woodie misplays a drive to right and it's 4-0.

Zvon Aug 18 2005 08:02 PM

Im watchin the game. Sometimes these rare WPIX weeknight games get blocked down here at the NJ shore due to my non Met fan cable company. Im probly the one guy who calls to complain. Is Beltran a lil gun shy? How did that fly ball drop in for the 1st Buc run? Whoops, Eldred just goes deep on Zambrano for 2 runs. And they get 1 more. OUCH. Cammy would a had that drive to right. Okeedoke, time to break out the bats boys. ~the batboy

seawolf17 Aug 18 2005 08:05 PM

And the rookie McLouth in right misplaces a fly ball and Beltran's on second base.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 08:06 PM

Oh, Angle Hernandez is behind the plate.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 08:24 PM

Hernandez always seems to have a chip on his shoulder. Not that, you know, about 90% of the players don't.

MFS62 Aug 18 2005 08:26 PM

The first one who I actually considered to be antagonistic and confrontational as well as anti-Met was Lee Weyer. Not only that, but he was a bully. If you disagreed slightly, you got the thumb. I hated that big fat bastard. But, you're right. I'm noticing a steady decline in umpiring quality in the past few years. And Hernandez is a real piece of work. Later

OlerudOwned Aug 18 2005 08:31 PM

Bay plunked. Again. What did he ever do to you, Victor?

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 08:31 PM

Bay's been hit twice. I fear a Met is going down hard this inning.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 08:39 PM

Nothing Duke throws is really over the plate. It's either on the corners or off. Very tough hitter. Way to hog the call, on that Cairo play, Hernandez.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 08:52 PM

Beltran takes a change up low and away into center for a single. If that's the best hittable pitch we get, maybe we should be fouling more off and waiting this guy out. But he's good.

Rockin' Doc Aug 18 2005 08:52 PM

Beltran singles!! Woo hoo!! There hasn't been much to cheer about in this game so it doesn't take much to get me going.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 08:53 PM

Cliff swings at a ball. Cliff swings at another ball.

Frayed Knot Aug 18 2005 08:55 PM

Dukey making Cliffy look silly

Rockin' Doc Aug 18 2005 08:55 PM

Cliff grabs a seat in the dug out.

MFS62 Aug 18 2005 08:55 PM

This is all Howie Rose's fault. (Or whoever was doing the pre-game radio show- my car radio had static) He mentioned that if the Mets won, it would be a SWEEP. Doesn't the idiot know the old baseball superstition that you never, as in NEVER, use that word? You can think it, but you should never speak it. It is one of the most famous baseball jinxes. He should know by now how superstitious players, and fans, are. How could he? Its so dumb, even Fran Healey wouldn't ever utter that word. Later

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 08:56 PM

Wright waits him out. Exie.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 09:00 PM

Dammit.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 09:00 PM

Sweep, sweep, sweep.

seawolf17 Aug 18 2005 09:06 PM

Didn't someone mention during an IGT the other day that the Mets have stolen a lot of third base lately, but that the runner on first never seems to move? I understand when it's Ramon Castro, but I don't know why Wright wouldn't be on the move as soon as he sees Beltran go.

cooby Aug 18 2005 09:11 PM

I'm even wearing the Bernie shirt for insurance :(

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 09:11 PM

It's not their way? He wasn't watching the lead runner? I don't know. Meanwhile, I dislike all this middle-infielder-in-the-outfield-and-at-first stuff a lot.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 09:15 PM

Quit booing, you jerkheads. Boo Trump.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 18 2005 09:15 PM

Hats off to Duke. Now I'm kinda hoping we'd beat up Rick White here.

Zvon Aug 18 2005 09:20 PM

Castro robbed. They just look so flat tonight. A homer there may have pumped em up. That shot by Offerman down the line hits the ump. Bad break. Its simply not the Mets night.

DocTee Aug 18 2005 09:20 PM

]"Meanwhile, I dislike all this middle-infielder-in-the-outfield-and-at-first stuff a lot." Amen. WWSB has done a nice job of patching his lineups together, but enough is enough

cooby Aug 18 2005 09:21 PM

Danny Graves, we're cooked

Frayed Knot Aug 18 2005 09:23 PM

That's as good a throw as I've seen from Wright all year. His decision making and footwork still need some work but I'm not worried about his defense long-term.

Edgy DC Aug 18 2005 09:25 PM

seawolf17 Aug 18 2005 09:26 PM

Hey! Surprise! The Mets got on a roll, then got embarrassed by a rookie pitcher! That never happens! /sarcasm mode turned off Why isn't Diaz in the lineup today? I have no particular love for him, but if he's part of your future, he should probably be out there.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 18 2005 09:28 PM

Reyes has been soaking in suck for a week now.

shitfuck.

Nymr83 Aug 18 2005 09:39 PM

sometimes you just run into a pitcher who is lights out, this was one of those nights. this loss doesn't hurt as much as some of the recent bullpen tragedies and the horrible road trips.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 18 2005 09:42 PM

Costs more though.
