[Guest ABG]

Cliffy comes through with a single to plate Cammy--1-0 good guys.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

1-0 Pedro. :D

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Oh sheesh! Piazza struck out looking on a close pitch (the replay shows that it hit the corner of the plate), and he kept jawing about it from the dugout, so he gets tossed from the game. Castro is in the game.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Mr. Wright gets rung up on strikes to end the inning. 1-0 Mets after one.

[Frayed Knot]

One of these days we gotta start turning innings like these into more than one freakin' run. -- doubles off the wall, singles, wild-pitches, walks ... and only a one-spot to show for it.
We did this against Houston last week too and never recovered.

[Frayed Knot]

That pitch was likely a strike - but the ump went out of his way to find himself a fight there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Not like Piazza to get hmself tossed like that on a judgment call.

Hopefully it lights a fire under him. Anyhow, Pedro gets his personal catcher.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Despite some confusion over whether Reyes or Cairo should catch the infield popup for the final out of the inning, the ball gets caught and the inning ends.

He used his transporation logistics degree to tell Piazza to hit the road.

"Despite some confusion over whether Reyes or Cairo should catch the infield popup for the final out of the inning, the ball gets caught and the inning ends."


And - just to point out how pre-judgements enter into things sometimes - can you imagine the raking-over-the-coals Matsui would get from fans for daring to bump into Reyes while taking his pop-up?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The mind does boggle over that one Frayed.

Mr. Wright makes a nice throw to Minty for the first out of the inning.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

Pedro was getting jobbed on some calls earlier, probably adding to Piazza's disgust.

[Guest ABG]

Eric Cooper kinda looks like Dennis Hopper.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Pedro's walk is erased by The Pitcher's Best Friend :)

[seawolf17]

Nelson de la Rosa picked off the runner?!?!

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

My name is Pedro Martinez. Bow to me, for I am the God.

[seawolf17]

Pe-DRO! Pe-DRO!

Knew we should have gone to the game today.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Good call by Cooper on Wright.

[Frayed Knot]

It's Pedro's world, the rest of us are just living in it.

The Scoscia/Molina contingent are making a habit this weekend of arguing home plate calls they have no hope of winning.
Nice slide by Wright.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

what the fuck?

[Guest Iubitul]

There is cause for celebration - this is the second game in a row with the pinstripes - I can't remember the last time that happened.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Pedro works his way out after the Angels score twice to tie things.

Did Cairo have a chance to grab that single?

Soething to ponder while we break out the whuppin sticks and get him a W.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Dammit Jose.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

This will be Pedro's last frame. He needs to sack up and finish these guys.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Motherfucker.

Wright with an error and the go-ahead run scores.

Gonna take another miracle to win this one.

sigh.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

Fuck Matsui.

FUUUCK, Reyes. ARGH.

This is a disappointing homestand.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I can't decide if our true colors are coming out or if we're just banged up.

Speaking of injuries, Willie should absolutely have subbed Diaz in for Cameron right after Cameron got injured. Why the hell is Diaz on our team if we're not going to play him? Subbing for a guy who can't swing the bat would seem to make some sense, wouldn't it?

Piazza getting thrown out in the first inning hurts too. Not only did it take a much-needed bat out of our lineup, I swear to god it also predisposed the umps to squeeze us. There's no way Wright went around in his at bat right after Piazza's, and despite what seemed to be a huge strike zone for the Angels, Petey kept not gettng calls.

If we can't get on track against Oakland and Seattle, we're going to be in serious serious trouble . . .

[willpie]

Fudge.

[MFS62]

That guy behind the plate umped like he had a bet on the game.
