I'm not in the mood to watch this game tonight. I'll probably tune in later though. Nick Hundley, catcher? Any relation to Todd and Randy?

metirish Aug 05 2008 05:45 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 05 2008 06:10 PM

Gary said no relation , did mention that his dad is a football coach at some college. SMU is the college.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 05:55 PM

Hundley is the Scottish word for "catcher."

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 05:58 PM

This crap that Darling and Gary are talking about having to have closing experience to close is making me blush. They're not magic beasts. Murphy with two walks and swiped homer, is a model. Be like Murphy.

metirish Aug 05 2008 06:02 PM

I thought Murph should have had that one , home run for Kouz.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 06:13 PM

Kablamm! A hunnert career homers for Tatis, and a few more pews for the church.

metirish Aug 05 2008 06:23 PM

Gary talking about Seaver striking out the last ten batters he faced in his nineteen strike out game when Ron chimes in with " for you folks at home I want to tell you how hard that is", oh thanks Mr. Big Shot I would never have known.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 06:41 PM

Well, I took it there was some degree of irony in the statement. Mets fall behind 2-1, but Murphy catches a liner on the run and saves more runs.

metirish Aug 05 2008 06:45 PM

Perhaps there was but there are times I find Ron condescending , maybe I am just pissed that we are not hitting here.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2008 06:52 PM

2-1 is the score of all Met-Padre games this season.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 06:52 PM

Pulling Young after 98 pitches and one hit. Thank you, Bud Black.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 06:54 PM

101, my brothers and sisters.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2008 06:54 PM

Well no way they're gonna lose 2-1 now...

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 06:56 PM

I repeat. Thank you, Bud Black.

metirish Aug 05 2008 06:59 PM

I guess Young was on a count or something , but yeah taking him out is huge.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2008 07:04 PM

We need the triple play here.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2008 07:05 PM

I'll take 2 however

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 07:07 PM

This is great. They need to get seven outs without Wagner. When was the last time they had a designated closer on the DL and had to live without?

metirish Aug 05 2008 07:09 PM

Maybe when Looper was here.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2008 07:11 PM

And Pedro gets his man. The sweetest fragrance It brings a wind of change

Ass.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2008 07:18 PM

Nice shooting, son. What's your name? MURPHY.

themetfairy Aug 05 2008 07:20 PM

WTF? That was horrible baserunning!

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 07:20 PM

D'oh! D'ouble D'oh!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2008 07:24 PM

I missed that play, but sense it included plenty of jackassery.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 07:28 PM

A pitcher's goofiest friend.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 07:28 PM

Heilman up to get the ninth.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 07:38 PM

I'm guessing Franco, but Benitez was definitely the designated successor, had some closing experience, and would never relinquish the job.

Fman99 Aug 05 2008 07:39 PM

That kid can hit! And the Pads are kind enough to kick the ball around and a run comes in to boot.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 07:40 PM

That's the way to deal with a save situation --- eclipse it and destroy it.

Evans got a little goofy there going for 3rd. Big risk for small reward there. Oh well.

holychicken Aug 05 2008 07:46 PM

Great, first thing he does is walk a batter. Why? I mean, come on. . .I would rather the guy have hit a home run.

Fman99 Aug 05 2008 07:48 PM

Well that sucked.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 07:48 PM

Was that our awesome Reyes, and our heinous Reyes?

Fman99 Aug 05 2008 07:50 PM

One out. First and third. No real chance to get the runner at 1st on that one. I'd like to see them get the DP here and put this one to bed.

metirish Aug 05 2008 07:52 PM

WOW ...

metsguyinmichigan Aug 05 2008 07:52 PM

Just getting here. In-ground sprinkers are a major pain in the butt. Just needed to say that. Tatis!!!

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 07:52 PM

Uh, who's up?

Fman99 Aug 05 2008 07:52 PM

Wow. Just unreal. Heilman serves up another big tater and it's 6-5. And I just barfed in my mouth. Time to try one of the other pitchers. God, Jerry, please.

holychicken Aug 05 2008 07:54 PM

Ugh. Not again. I am totally losing interest in the Mets this year. I had absolutely no desire to watch any of the games this weekend and this is just driving me away even more.

metirish Aug 05 2008 07:54 PM

I just want to hug Heilman .....then choke him but whatever.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 05 2008 07:54 PM

I was better off with the bleeping sprinklers. Freaking Heilman. He has become worthless.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2008 07:55 PM

I sorta disagreed with bringing Heilman in this thing to begin with. Now if we need him for a save tomorrow we won't have him and the next-best guy's gotta come in now with 75% less cushion.

KC Aug 05 2008 07:55 PM

I knew that Murphy/Wright thing would come back to possibly bite them. Just kidding, so far.

See you tomorrow. Our awesome Reyes showed up just in time. Coolest catch in that spot since Rusty Staub.

bmfc1 Aug 05 2008 07:58 PM

Heilman for Huston Street (assuming Street clears waivers)? I remember reading that Beane liked Heilman. Hopefully he still does.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 05 2008 08:01 PM

Phew! Ugly, but a much-needed win!

bmfc1 Aug 05 2008 08:01 PM

A 4 run lead in the ninth and 4 of the 6 remaining pitchers in the pen pitched or warmed up. Ridiculous. And does Schoenenweis become the first Jewish player in Mets history to get a save?

Rockin' Doc Aug 05 2008 08:01 PM

Even with the win tonight, I get the feeling this team is circling the drain.

Well, I don't mean that... But it was Jerry's plan to have used Heilman as the Man tonight. Kunz shall have greatness thrust upon him I suppose.

AG/DC Aug 05 2008 08:40 PM

Fuck the Man --- and all Man-ness. Maybe Jerry over-rated the situation and maybe he didn't, the way it worked out is that he rated the situation as appropriate for Heilman. I rate a four-run lead in the ninth as low-leverage and appropriate for how Heilman's been pitching. And I rate nobody on in the ninth as appropriate to have Crazy Eddie up. I'm good. I think.

Gwreck Aug 05 2008 09:01 PM

Crowd was booing Heilman before he ever threw a pitch. Not good. I can of course understand the boos after the homers but the caustic atmosphere is making me really see just how stupid so many of the fans are. Tatis got a curtain call (some might say it was just a pinch too long in length) after his second home run. First Shea curtain call since Maine's homer last summer. I can deal with Murphy getting hung up at third (it happens, he's a rookie, etc.) but David also getting thrown out on the basepath that inning was inexcusable.

metirish Aug 06 2008 07:01 AM

I can of course understand the boos after the homers but the caustic atmosphere is making me really see just how stupid so many of the fans are. Darling mentioned as Heilman was about to start his inning with a walk that " this crowd tonight is ravenous so he needs to throw a strike" , rough stuff.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2008 09:06 AM

Soupcan (left) and his buddy from Cobra Kai, the "Body Bag" Kid, cheer Tatis.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 09:13 AM

Note Tommie Smith in row two, celebrating the opening of the Olympics by reviving his black power salute from 1968. Seriously, if I'm a Padres fan, I'm still rippping Bud Black this morning for lifting Young.

soupcan Aug 06 2008 09:23 AM

="John Cougar Lunchbucket"] I'll give you there's a resemblance but I'm much better looking. As to Heilman being booed - I agree that booing him before he even threw a pitch is bad but bouncing his first pitch to the backstop and then missing badly with the next three sure didn't help his cause.

Of course not, but that's an after-the-fact justification. If they have a stake in his performance, they shouldn't undemine it. Meantime, the fans were sitting on a come-from-behind four-run lead, ready to snap a four-game losing streak. Firing the hate gun there is so bloody miserly. It's almost self-hatred at that point.
