1-0 Mets. Fernando Tatis... playing with an oxygen tank in the dugout

ball 4 is a wild pitch but Baker is thrown out trying to come home.... very dumb move by Baker and it could have saved Pelfrey.

Nymr83 Jun 22 2008 01:26 PM

Pelfrey strikes out Atkins to retire the Rockies and strand two!

TransMonk Jun 22 2008 01:27 PM

Pelfrey skates through the first. Manuel obviously doesn't read the Cranepool yet.

Nymr83 Jun 22 2008 01:30 PM

if he's smart he'll avoid internet forums entirely

Elster88 Jun 22 2008 01:58 PM

That was a bomb.

TransMonk Jun 22 2008 01:59 PM

Pelf with a nice 3rd, mowing down the top of the order.

Elster88 Jun 22 2008 02:00 PM

This Pelfrey guy might be pretty good. 5/31, 7 IP, 2 ER, W 6/5, 6 IP, 1 ER, L 6/11, 8 IP, 1 ER, W 6/16, 6 IP, 6 ER, W 6/22, 3 IP, 0 ER (after 3 innings)

Some notes from John Delcos: Notebook: Ryan Church to take BP tomorrow at Shea. … Luis Castillo day-to-day with strained left thigh. … Jerry Manuel said he MUST plan not to have Moises Alou again this season. … Brian Schneider is day-to-day with a bruised left pinkie. He said he hopes to play tomorrow.

It's maddening what people find blog-worthy. Is he even in Denver? Any of us could have listened to the radio or watched the tv and blogged that non-info.

KC: I hope that you're not referring to me for cutting and pasting something that I thought might provoke chat. Delcos is in the press box for a NJ paper chatting live with fans. He does a great job. http://mets.lohudblogs.com/

Elster88 Jun 22 2008 02:15 PM

I thought that was a slow-motion replay of Hawpe. Nope, it was the real thing.

bmfc1 Jun 22 2008 02:28 PM

The Angels, the same Angels that the Mets beat 2 of 3 in the Angels home park, just finished a three game sweep of the Phillies in Philly. Interesting bottom of the 9th: F-Rod got the first two outs, then Feliz got on, was PR for by Bruntlett w/Rollins up, Bruntlett stole 2d, Scoscia walked Rollins (there was a 2-1 count) even though that meant putting on the winning run, then Taguchi fouled out to end it.

KC Jun 22 2008 02:33 PM

bmfc: >>>I hope that you're not referring to me for cutting and pasting something<<< I know who he is, and I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to him. It's bad enough (to me) that these guys regurgitate stuff in their columns and beat reports that is always widely reported elsewhere but NOW they blog it like it's cutting edge. When Gary Cohen says, "John Delcos just reported on his blog ...." then maybe I'll change my tune but until then, ug.

Thanks KC and Steve (too touchy on my part)--really, Westchester? I only know his work from that page. I like that he chats with fans during the game.

Its one thing when you have a column to fill on a daily basis, do you HAVE to update a blog frequently if its just for filler info? I'd wager no, not really.

Cat box liner paper, unless you know someone on the police blotter or knew someone in the obits.

Elster88 Jun 22 2008 02:45 PM

Pelfrey throwing lotsa balls. Maybe get him out after this inning.

KC Jun 22 2008 02:46 PM

Yeah, back to IGT ... Joe Smith coming in to get the last out of the sixth with guys on first and second and two outs.

Nymr83 Jun 22 2008 02:47 PM

or get him out during this inning. Pelfrey done without allowing a run after 5 2/3, he walked 5. runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs for joe smith.

Zvon Jun 22 2008 02:49 PM

Two 6 inning walks seals his fate. Manuel pulls Pelf. Very nice outting. Did Pelfrey stop wearing the mouth piece or did he just get a better fitting one?

Joe Smith has now stranded 26 out of 29 inherited runners.

Zvon Jun 22 2008 03:03 PM

Ugh. Smith knew that one was gone. He just looked down and decided that was a good time to adjust his pants.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 22 2008 03:04 PM

AND given up a homer to an almost-Met named Yorvit.

Elster88 Jun 22 2008 03:07 PM

How often does bunting for a hit actually work? Thanks for the out, Mr. Taveras. Your team now has 8 left.

Zvon Jun 22 2008 03:12 PM

That at-bat by Holliday was the hump and we are over it. GJ by Smith.

Zvon Jun 22 2008 03:27 PM

Wright with the flip down sunglasses! I love it. How long will it take these kids playing today to realize those sunglasses are the ONLY type to use on the field? They have these $300 sunglasses on the brim of their hats. What good are they doing there? You can wear your fancy ones after the game. Baseball isn't a fashion show.

Wags on to close it out, if ever this season we don't need no drama coming home, it's now. 3 quick outs and then we can all hit the grill or whatever.

BELTRAN!

SteveJRogers Jun 22 2008 03:42 PM

Into the book this one goes!

Zvon Jun 22 2008 03:42 PM

Nice catch by Beltran to end it. Yea, he caught it.

KC Jun 22 2008 03:43 PM

'nother half inch and it would have grass stains on it.

TransMonk Jun 22 2008 03:43 PM

That's 2 of 3 in our last 3 series. Only 3.5 back of the Phils now. Let's beat the M's tomorrow.

Nymr83 Jun 22 2008 03:47 PM

lets SWEEP the Mariners and convince them that their season is over so they might as well leave Raul Ibanez behind when they leave NY on thursday.

I believe that I read somewhere that he used to tip his pitches with his tongue so he got the mouthpiece to stop that. Then somehow they think he was tipping them with the mouthpiece so they 86'd that. I guess maybe they finally got him to control his tongue?

So as a fly is hit to him he decides that now is the time to put them on his eyes and almost manages to poke his orbs out in the process. He winds up catching the ball in his glove while the specs are in his bare hand and then proceeds to put the stem in his mouth in order to throw the ball back in. Fortunately for him no runners were on base at the time.
