Nymr83 Jul 27 2008 10:59 AM

come on johan, its time to learn to complete a game after the whole bullpen pitched last night.

bmfc1 Jul 27 2008 11:01 AM

Willie Collazo replaces Brandon Knight on the roster. He gives the bullpen a fresh arm.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 27 2008 11:12 AM

Wow, the sun came out- my BBQ is back on!

Nymr83 Jul 27 2008 11:13 AM

mets turn 2, lets score early!

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 27 2008 11:13 AM

Nice DP- only 8 pitches this inning.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 11:16 AM

Santana opens with a walk, then gets a fly out and a DP grounder from Pujols. On to the Mets half. Start it off Jose.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 27 2008 11:18 AM

Endy legs it out, just like he did last night in the 12th. (not that I'm bitter or anything.)

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 27 2008 11:23 AM

Nice at bat by D-Dubs. Eat em alive, Delgado!

Nymr83 Jul 27 2008 11:25 AM

fuck. don't swing 3-0!

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 27 2008 11:25 AM

Gah, DP leading into everyone's favorite commercial!

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 11:28 AM

Keith argued for him to be swinging there, based on his hotness. I think his hotness is partially a product of restraint.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 11:29 AM

Zvon Jul 27 2008 11:45 AM

Braves take a 2-0 lead on the Phils in the phirst.

TransMonk Jul 27 2008 11:48 AM

Santana doing his job. 24 pitches get him to 3 hitless innings. Anytime the offense wants to start hitting with RISP would be great.

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 11:50 AM

Gameday says 26, but your point stands.

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 11:51 AM

Hey Albert, if you want to argue, make sure you let Reyes score.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 11:52 AM

WOW. Crazy bunt single. And Endy was out. But we get the call. Yay!

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 11:55 AM

I think he was out for leaving the baseline; I think evidence of the tag is inconclusive.

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 12:00 PM

Mets booth drooling over Molina for three days. Suckers.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:02 PM

Endy's makin it exciting all over the basepaths, lol. Almost doubled off at second, almost thrown out at the plate. But he ain't and he ain't and its 2-0 us. Endy, you get that green light you don't need to look to the outfield. Run man run! He would have been out by a mile in any case.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:20 PM

Rain delay in Philly.

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 12:22 PM

Five innings and 49 pitches, as Glaus gets St. Louis' first hit.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:26 PM

Nymr83 Jul 27 2008 12:27 PM

3-0 now on the HR, Santana needs to complete this game with this low pitch count (barring lots of rain which looks like its on the way)

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 12:35 PM

Six innings, 62 pitches.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:40 PM

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 12:41 PM

Tatis is not letting Delgado walk off with that Player of the Month trophy.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:43 PM

CASTRO!

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 12:43 PM

Mather's getting whiplash.

Nymr83 Jul 27 2008 12:45 PM

its is POURING in staten island right now, this game may be raining out soon if its headed that way

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:46 PM

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:48 PM

Awww, thats got to be embarrassing. Santana knocks one off the wall but does not run. Lucky they didnt throw him out at 1st,lol.

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 12:48 PM

Running praactice is in order for San Tanna.

Nymr83 Jul 27 2008 12:49 PM

santana's ball looked like it cleared the lower fence and hit that red fencing attached to the foul pole, but yeah wow why wasnt he running? reyes doubles and its 2nd and 3rd.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:49 PM

He would have scored on the JReyes double. Tsk,tsk to u Johan.

Nymr83 Jul 27 2008 12:57 PM

beltran with homerun-robbery!

Zvon Jul 27 2008 12:59 PM

OH!!!!! What a catch by Beltran!!!!!!!!! Snowcone HR robber. And he was just gliding back so slow on that. Amazing. Aw, then Pujols goes yard. Gah.

metirish Jul 27 2008 01:00 PM

AG/DC Jul 27 2008 01:00 PM

Mmmm... sno-cone. Too bad he couldn't grab Pujols' shot also.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 01:10 PM

He be raykin'.

duan Jul 27 2008 01:12 PM

poor old boggsy started the first game - and it looks like it.

SteveJRogers Jul 27 2008 01:12 PM

La Genius brings in Boggs on one days rest?

Zvon Jul 27 2008 01:13 PM

Wow. Santana DRILLS a single for his 1st ever RBI as a Met. Everybody hits!

duan Jul 27 2008 01:14 PM

i think he's letting mitchell pay back the rest of the pitching staff for his lousy outing on Friday that got them into this mess.

SteveJRogers Jul 27 2008 01:17 PM

Just got word that the Cards' charter to Atlanta is still stuck on the ground in Chicago! Going to be quite a long Sunday for the Cards in NYC!

Zvon Jul 27 2008 01:17 PM

metsmarathon Jul 27 2008 01:21 PM

thats a fantastic non catch by tatis. not sure i understand why its not a catch, but call it even for endy's single earlier, i guess.

Zvon Jul 27 2008 01:21 PM

Awww, Tatis caught that but can't hold on. Great none-catch.

SteveJRogers Jul 27 2008 01:26 PM

IZZY!

Zvon Jul 27 2008 01:32 PM

Santana goin for the complete game. Wrap it up!

Zvon Jul 27 2008 01:32 PM

SteveJRogers Jul 27 2008 01:40 PM

Its his 7th career complete game!

SteveJRogers Jul 27 2008 01:40 PM

First for the Mets all year (they had two a year ago.)

Zvon Jul 27 2008 01:40 PM

Nice. Man did we need this. A complete game gives the pen some rest.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2008 01:44 PM

A nice, tidy, sub-2:30, CG (w/2 hits), 1 BB, 6 hitter ...just what the doctor ordered That's 2 consecutive 2-of-3's that could have been sweeps - but if that's the worst that can happen I'll take 'em.

Nymr83 Jul 27 2008 02:02 PM

thats a good job by johan getting the pen some much needed rest. lets see if the mets can stay on a roll tommorow

Zvon Jul 27 2008 02:11 PM

Clueless Koolaid Guzzler Jul 27 2008 04:37 PM

Santana and the offense came through big time and turned this one into a laugher. Nice bounce back after last night's tough loss. Let's Go Mets!

themetfairy Jul 27 2008 04:49 PM

Coming back from Shea at 6:00 pm today was much more fun than when I came back form Shea at 3:00 am. This was fun - it make up for the bad taste of the previous game. But after 23 innings of baseball in less than 24 hours, I'm beat!

KC Jul 27 2008 05:50 PM

Dating myself as a young tv addict, this made me laugh out loud. Loudly ...

Vic Sage Jul 28 2008 09:15 AM

make left at rock that look like bear, make right at bear that look like rock.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 28 2008 11:42 AM

That cartoon speech square should be round. Like a balloon.

themetfairy Jul 28 2008 01:30 PM

I'm watching the replay now. This is tailor made to be a Mets classic. A great pitching performance, offense aplenty, and Beltran's amazing catch. Plus it's short enough that they don't have to cut a thing to make it fit within SNY's time constraints.

themetfairy Jul 28 2008 02:51 PM

Wow. Watching Johan tip his cap as the fans chanted, "Jo-han, Jo-han" after the game gave me goosebumps.
