My last post just made me Mike Jacobs. May Mike Jacobs play with the zest, elan and physical capabilities of me today.

bmfc1 Sep 27 2008 09:11 AM

Our NEW YORK METS!: Reyes, ss Beltran, cf Delgado, 1b Wright, 3b Murphy, lf Martinez, 2b Church, rf Castro, c Santana, lhp Look at the second spot. Ramon Martinez: three weeks ago, we never heard of him. Today, in an elimination game, he's batting sixth.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 10:36 AM

I'm kind of down with that lineup, though I'd swap Blastro and Heartinez.

Frayed Knot Sep 27 2008 10:38 AM

Game will NOT start on time. Raining lightly at the moment and right now they're looking at a 1:25 first pitch although that's obviously subject to change. Make that 1:45

Vince Coleman Firecracker Sep 27 2008 12:10 PM

Santana's throwing pebbles. Can he start tomorrow, as well?

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 12:11 PM

200K I heart our ace.

seawolf17 Sep 27 2008 12:11 PM

Hey, idea! Let's have them score ten or twelve runs this inning, then end Santana's day so he's nice and fresh for a start tomorrow!

This might be as good as I've ever seen Santana pitch. Keep it up, Johan.

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 12:23 PM

This is like Maine's season-on-the-brink game, redux. 5 Ks through the first turn of the order.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 12:28 PM

Let's get a bunt single or something. Nolasco seems better pitching from a windup.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 12:37 PM

Just my impression, but Wright came to play.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 12:41 PM

A bunt may also work because of the wet grass.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 12:41 PM

Or an HbP. That's good too.

seawolf17 Sep 27 2008 12:46 PM

If you thought on April 1 that our most productive Martinez would be Ramon, raise your hand.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Sep 27 2008 12:46 PM

Ramon Martinez refuses to let the Mets get eliminated.

Zvon Sep 27 2008 12:46 PM

What a fantastic at bat by Ramon Martinez.

seawolf17 Sep 27 2008 12:46 PM

AG/DC wrote: Just my impression, but Wright came to play. True. Of course, he's had to deal with getting crapped on the last few days, so maybe he has a little extra something.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 12:46 PM

Good thing that ball got loose. Murphy loses a gear going for a third base, particularly on wet track.

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 12:48 PM

I think I love you, Guy With The Same Name As Pedro's Brother.

The Ramones Johnny Joey Castro Martinez

Zvon Sep 27 2008 12:53 PM

I'll take J Reyes leading off next inning. Back to work Johan. Keep it up.

Thank you, Carlos. Everybody say thank you to Carlos.

Gary's getting a little frazzled up there. Can't say I blame him.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 01:06 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 27 2008 01:06 PM

Blue is squeezing my pitcher like an accordian. Hey folks, guess what. We're official.

Zvon Sep 27 2008 01:06 PM

Whew. I dunno Gary, Keith and Ron....they all looked like strikes to me. Top a the order. LETS

seawolf17 Sep 27 2008 01:06 PM

GO

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 01:07 PM

METS!

seawolf17 Sep 27 2008 01:11 PM

That's what I always love about Gary. It's like he's me up there, calling the game. By the way -- I don't care about Tim Lincecum and his 350 strikeouts; Johan Santana is the 2008 NL Cy Young Award winner. No pitcher has been bigger.

seawolf17 Sep 27 2008 01:13 PM

Yes, that play was incredible, but if that's anyone other than Carlos Delgado (or maybe Charlie O'Brien), it's not even close.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Sep 27 2008 01:13 PM

Nice play by Han-Ram, the bastid.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 01:14 PM

OK, Hanley. That's just bullshit.

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 01:14 PM

I thought Hanley was supposed to be a lousy defender.

Zvon Sep 27 2008 01:15 PM

Wow. Even after he caught it and rolled onto his ass to throw I had that pegged for an easy single. He got alot on that throw.

By the way - could we replay the season with Johan pitching on three days' rest the whole time?

willpie Sep 27 2008 01:21 PM

wow, Johan. Wow.

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 01:22 PM

88 pitches through 6. Can you give us two more? I don't feel right asking for anything more of you, after all you've done, but can you give us two more?

Frayed Knot Sep 27 2008 01:23 PM

We need a Bugs Bunny bat-a-round this inning.

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 01:25 PM

What other improbabilities do you have for us, Ramon?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 27 2008 01:28 PM

This would be a good time for Church to overcome his brain damage.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 01:28 PM

OlerudOwned wrote: I thought Hanley was supposed to be a lousy defender. Nope. He's one of those high-error-total but wide-ranging types. Sons of Frank Taveras.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 27 2008 01:29 PM

How many times will he get fooled on that?

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 01:30 PM

Church watches pitch #100 fly by for strike three.

KC Sep 27 2008 01:30 PM

Church has really been a wet blanket.

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 01:30 PM

Nolasco dealing, which makes Santana's performance that much bigger.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 01:36 PM

97 through seven for Santana. 100 through six for Nabisco. Santana bats this inning.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Sep 27 2008 01:37 PM

Santana's looking like a bargain at 17 mil this year.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Sep 27 2008 01:38 PM

Letting him bat. I gotta agree.

Johan, in effect, took Tom Glavine's spot in the rotation for this team. The contrast is startling.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 01:48 PM

Moving so quickly that we still haven't seen pitch one in the other two gameses that count.

AG/DC Sep 27 2008 01:50 PM

I'm for sending 'Tran. This guy has a high kick.

Frayed Knot Sep 27 2008 01:52 PM

Dang! That bloop being called foul changes the entire inning. Went from 1st & 3rd/nobody out to bases empty/2 out.

I'm for sending Tatis up for Murphy. Up, too late. Who says to send Endy in for him now?

Beltran has to take that guy out on that DP. He also looked kinda meek on yesterdays DP that Church hit into. Well, I guess thats the way they play the game these days.

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 01:56 PM

I asked you for two more innings, Johan, and you say "take three." Does anyone doubt he can handle it? I don't, which is saying a whole lot for someone in blue and orange.

OlerudOwned Sep 27 2008 01:58 PM

Tightness.

The wine is on me.

Gwreck Sep 27 2008 03:46 PM

Absolutely stunning game to have seen in person. I'll guess that this is perhaps the greatest pitching performance I've ever seen in person. I guess it tops the Glendon Rusch 1-hitter because of the significance of the game. Johan is the MAN. He tipped his cap going into the dugout and tossed the game ball into the crowd. Edit: Forgot to mention. First pitch today was thrown out by Cleon.

SteveJRogers Sep 27 2008 04:22 PM

Would have been even better if they kept the pinstripes going! =;)

Fman99 Sep 27 2008 06:13 PM

This was the first game of 2008 that I have attended. It was also Fboy's first ever MLB game and first trip to Shea. Fun was had by all, even from Row N of the Mezz where you can't see the pop flies or the top half of the scoreboard.

Valadius Sep 27 2008 06:27 PM

Could the NL Cy Young be in the cards for Santana? I can't imagine him finishing any worse than fourth, and this performance might change some minds.

He won't be, because Lincecum has struck out every single batter he's faced this season, but he should be.

In years to come thousands who were not there will claim to have been, that was a super effort and I am jealous of the guys from here who were there.
