Ollie sharp through the first 2 innings.

AG/DC Jul 11 2008 05:39 PM

I like the Rockies moving Barmes back to short during Tulo's disability. So many teams are scared during an injury period to move a guy back to a position he lost.

TheOldMole Jul 11 2008 05:59 PM

Can't believe Reyes made that double.

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 05:59 PM

Bad decision/good result.

G-Fafif Jul 11 2008 06:08 PM

"Five to four to three, as pretty as can be!" Hagin just called the double play. This guy has grown on me big time since the season started.

TransMonk Jul 11 2008 06:10 PM

Yeah, I was pretty shocked that he tried it. I'm just glad he made it. Ronnie thought it was a good decision with two outs.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:18 PM

I just got my new Met hat. WOOT! This is as sharp as Ollie. This is my new lucky cap.

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 06:22 PM

So much for the no-no. 1-0 Rockies on a Hawpe homer :(

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:23 PM

Well, maybe not lucky cap..... not for the Mets. Could be lucky for me tho. Hawpe homers.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:28 PM

Need the big 2 out RBI single from ya Jose.

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 06:30 PM

Jose's RBI ties the game!

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:30 PM

YEA!

metsguyinmichigan Jul 11 2008 06:34 PM

They do seem to be playing with more of a spark these days! Nice, Jose! When we finally do get a no-no, it wouldn't surprise me if it's someone like Ollie, who can be lights-out once in a while.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:35 PM

Chavez beats one out! 1st and 2nd.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:36 PM

WOW. What a play to get Wright. Surprised that wasn't closer at 1st, but it was hit way hard.

TransMonk Jul 11 2008 06:38 PM

David looked a little more than mildly pissed that Barmes had another great play to get him.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:49 PM

Did I just see flames behind the bullpen?

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:50 PM

Perez walks the bases full. GET OUTTA THIS OLLIE!

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 06:50 PM

The flames are in the picnic area. And Ollie looks like he's ready to implode!

cooby Jul 11 2008 06:51 PM

Too much lighter fluid

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 06:51 PM

Whew! Ollie throws a scoreless 6th despite walking three in the inning.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 06:51 PM

Whew. I need a lil smiley of me sweating. Id use that a lot.

seawolf17 Jul 11 2008 07:12 PM

Ah, poor Aaron Heilman. You know he's giving up runs here, and he's going to get booed even though it's on Perez. Fucking hell.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 07:19 PM

BIG k of Taveras! Get OUTTA THIS HEILMAN!

seawolf17 Jul 11 2008 07:20 PM

/exhales

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 07:21 PM

Yea! Aaron gets some beer later!

Zvon Jul 11 2008 07:21 PM

YES!

TheOldMole Jul 11 2008 07:21 PM

Heilman does the job. No boos tonight.

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 07:29 PM

This would be a good time for a clutch hit.

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 07:31 PM

Dang. Endy leaves the runner on 3rd.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 07:39 PM

AWWW.REYES! We had 2! dagnabbitt. K, GET OUTTA THIS .....FELICIANO!

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 07:43 PM

Nine walks tonight. Third straight inning the Rockies have loaded the bases. SOMEONE please get that third out. Looks like other Pedro is staying in to pitch to Nix. Nowhere else to put him.

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 07:44 PM

whew

TheOldMole Jul 11 2008 07:44 PM

...and three men left on base.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 07:45 PM

Whewwww.

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 07:52 PM

KABOOM

Zvon Jul 11 2008 07:53 PM

EASLEY!

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 07:54 PM

Excellent! (Both Easley and Zvon!)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 11 2008 07:58 PM

Strap 'em on.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 07:58 PM

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 08:00 PM

NICE. Wags gets a little help from the ump on the called K. One out and Taveras at the dish.

TheOldMole Jul 11 2008 08:02 PM

Big K with nice location.

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 08:02 PM

Another K. One more out...

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 08:03 PM

PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!

Zvon Jul 11 2008 08:04 PM

WOOTOOTOODILYDOOTDOOT!! Bookit Danno!

TheOldMole Jul 11 2008 08:04 PM

Put it in the books. Jerry's a genius.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 11 2008 08:04 PM

TransMonk Jul 11 2008 08:04 PM

A lotta luck tonight along with a lotta grit. Great win...keep 'em coming, boys!

The Big O Jul 11 2008 08:05 PM

Time to root against, uh, Jayson Werth and other guys I've never heard of. Most importantly, Matt Holliday's hitting streak gets halted at like 14 or something.

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 08:05 PM

Fourth straight game where the Mets held their opponent to three hits. That's some good pitching right there.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 11 2008 08:12 PM

I wouldn't walk around expecting to win games like this everyday, but while the Magic is Back, what can ya do.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 08:15 PM

Utley on 3rd w/2 out in the 9th.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 08:16 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 11 2008 08:20 PM

Arizona gets out of it! Extra innings there.

Did the announcers ever address it? It was weird cause I saw it thru the material cover they have on that fence/wall on the back of the bullpen. D'backs threatening, man on 3rd in the 10th, 2 out.

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 08:32 PM

Kalas REALLY thought Coste's ball would drop, but it was caught. Victorino on second, 2 out, bottom of the 10th, and Howard being intentionally walked to get to Werth.

Zvon Jul 11 2008 08:36 PM

Werth pops out! Glad to see a game the Phils phans must be sweating thru.

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 08:41 PM

On fireworks night to boot!

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 08:56 PM

Onto the 12th in Philly.

themetfairy Jul 11 2008 09:01 PM

True dat! We took the kids to Fireworks Night in Cleveland in 1995. That one went 14 (they even had a 14th inning stretch).

Fman99 Jul 11 2008 09:11 PM

Dang. Phillies win in the 12th.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 11 2008 09:12 PM

Jason Werth: Mr. Heropants again.

Isn't this the first Met win when they've scored 2 or fewer in like a year?

Gwreck Jul 11 2008 09:19 PM

Woulda liked the offense to show up today, but it was Cook, who's a pretty good pitcher. Liked to see Jerry playing for the win with Evans pinch running, but if he wanted to bunt there anyway, why not Santana instead of burning Argenis Reyes? Fun times are back at Shea.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 11 2008 09:27 PM

Second time that Easley shocked the Rockies with a late-inning HR to spoil a strong effort by Cook, btw.

Throwing up a pinch-hitter to bunt is my new pet peeve. Guys, you have only four batters on your bench, one of whom is your backup catcher. You want to bunt? Leave Lefty in there, or send out another starting pitcher. He does it all the time and he knows how to do it at least as well as Sluggo on the bench. Yeah, you lose the element of surprise, but how much is that worth after the first pitch when Sluggo squares as soon as the pitcher comes to astop.

Frayed Knot Jul 12 2008 06:11 AM

The biggest obvious difference between this game and any one of a number of games earlier in this season is that this time they GOT the third out (on several occasions) instead of almost getting out of the inning as was all too common. I'd bet that our 2-out runs-allowed pct is falling back towards normal levels. When I checked a few weeks back it was by far the highest in the league.

soupcan Jul 12 2008 07:35 AM

Was in attendance for this one. Good, tight, tense game. Fun one to be at. I'm now 2-5 after starting the season 0-4.
