Kerry Rhodes reading the mets lineup on FOX.... lets hope he doesnt bring the Jets losing ways with him

themetfairy Jul 12 2008 03:01 PM

The Mets draw first blood. Tatis' single drives in Beltran, who had previously stolen third base.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 12 2008 03:06 PM

Who'd a thunk that Tatis would be clutch like this? Guess we should have given him a shot last year.

Meanwhile, there's a lot of concern in the Mets dugout concerning Pedro. It looks like Nick Evans is going to pinch hit for Pedro in the bottom of the 4th. This can't be good.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 12 2008 03:17 PM

Evans was the best they had? And Pedro with a 1-hitter going? What's going on?

batmagadanleadoff Jul 12 2008 03:20 PM

D-Backs score eight in the top of the fourth and lead the Phillies 10-2. Not that I'm scoreboard watching here, but I am.

WHAT"S GOING ON?!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 12 2008 03:21 PM

Pedro is the Moises Alou of pitching, that's what's going on.

themetfairy Jul 12 2008 03:22 PM

We haven't received an official report, but there's speculation about Pedro's groin. Either that or he was making a gesture at this banal announcing crew. Which would be understandable.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 12 2008 03:25 PM

Per Howie Rose: Pedro - right shoulder tightness. Removed for precautionary reasons. Pedro wanted to remain in game.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 12 2008 03:25 PM

Bam

I have the game on but no sound, so I'm relying on the Fairy to keep me abreast of Pedro updates.

themetfairy Jul 12 2008 03:26 PM

Ka-Boom J. Reyes! 2-0 Mets

And Batmag, of course.

I can't rely on anyone for long.

Pedro somehow indicated to FOX reporter Ken Rosenthal (sign language?, smoke signals?, semaphore?) that he has a strained groin but that he's being more precautionary than actually injured. So until further notice, that's their story and they're sticking to it.

Jose Reyes since getting yanked off first base in Manuel's first game as skipper (NL rank encompassing same time period for all batters in parentheses) BAVG .333 (11) OBP .394 (13) SLG. .495 (25) Runs 18 (2) Triples 5 (1) Walks 10 (15-Tied with many) SB/CS 7/3 RC27 7.41 (16 -Min. 75 plate appearances) RC 19.2 (8) (Not including today's game)

Schneider drives in Delgado to make it 3-0 :)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 12 2008 03:52 PM

Schneid with an RBI double, 3-0 good guys. Anderson digging in with freshly thick beard

Frayed Knot Jul 12 2008 03:53 PM

And here I was just about to chastise Endy for bunting into Schneider and the bottom of the lineup ... and it works. It's still not a good play - even though he was more bunting for the hit than a sac. Muniz being PH'd-for is winless in MLB but should be in line for this one if the lead holds.

AG/DC Jul 12 2008 03:53 PM

Two inning stints from our relievers is a good thing. Drink a beer every time that happens, and every time Schneider gets an extra-base hit, and it's a rare, rare two-beer inning for you.

AG/DC Jul 12 2008 04:32 PM

Cool vertical picket fence happening, with eight hits, one for each slot in the lineup minus the pitcher's.

KC Jul 12 2008 04:40 PM

Funny how all this winning can make me lose the hat of this game. Four runs in five games given up, not too shabby.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 12 2008 04:40 PM

Books! 5-pitcher, 1-hitter

The Big O Jul 12 2008 04:41 PM

Put it in the Book.

Valadius Jul 12 2008 04:42 PM

Firefly was an awesome show. 1-hitter! We're moving in the right direction!

Frayed Knot Jul 12 2008 04:46 PM

Since the pen's near-debacle in Philly during the 'They win the damn thing' game: 18-1/3 IPs, 0 R, 2 H, 4 BBs

AG/DC Jul 12 2008 04:51 PM

Who knew Brad Hawpe would be the end of the day. Get better, Pedro.

Another solid win. The Rockies are a truly awful team. Not mentioned here: Jerry and Ray Ramirez were out for a visit with Pedro in the 3rd but they went back to the dugout quickly. Robinson Cancel now wearing #40. Big crowd. Was delayed getting to the game (arrived in 2nd inning) and the line was still several people deep at each ticket window to buy tickets.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 12 2008 08:26 PM

From the ESPN recap: ]"...the one-hitter made the Mets the first team in modern baseball history to allow three hits or less in five consecutive games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau."
