Gay Dame IGT 7-7

BOOOO!!! (respectful, of course)

You can't walk Floyd, you wimps!

[seawolf17]

Here comes Piazza. I smell groundout...

[Willets Point]

Yay! Fuck! Fuck!

Nice agressive playing though. Let's hold the lead.

[Elster88]

Seawolf is happily forced to eat his own words?

[Frayed Knot]

Oh Good ... oh good lord!!!!

[Centerfield]

They have a way of taking the lead and looking like dumbasses all at the same time.

The 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Dis Mike Piazza.

[Guest KC]

Piazza flares one to score Beltran, gets agressive and goes to second on
the throw home and get thrown out and then Floyd gets thrown out trying
for home.

Bitter sweet ugly baseball ... Mets up by one ... Washington gets last licks.

[nymr83]

ok good we took the lead, but whats up with slow-man getting htrown out at 2nd and then floyd at the plate? that was disgusting.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Uh, what happened?

[Guest Rotblatt]

I was wondering what had happened--Yahoo! Box Score taking forever to load . . .

Go Mike!

Boo Mike!

Boo Cliff!

[Elster88]

I'll have to watch that one on the highlights. It's hard to have two guys thrown out on the bases in the same play.

[Frayed Knot]

Still Bell????

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

So Piazza hit into a tiebrteaking, extra-inning, RBI single double play?

[Elster88]

Gameday is slow too. I think that play confused the hell out of it.

[seawolf17]

Sportsline showed me this:

Piazza hit into double play, Beltran scored, Floyd out at home, Piazza out at second.

All I saw was the first part... so I came back over here to bitch... and I saw everyone else's reactions. Only then did I go back and read the whole thing. Weird. I almost typed "I smell double play", but changed it at the last second. That would have been freaky.

[Guest KC]

Well, Looper's actually coming in. Frank's pissed on delay of game.

[nymr83]

Piazza singles home Beltran, tries to go to 2nd on the throw to the plate, is thrown out. Floyd tries to score on the throw to 2nd and is then thrown out at the plate. 1 run in, 2-outs on the basepaths.

and now i am hearing that Looper hadn't even had the chance to start throwing yet because the inning ended right after the run scored.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Long after the ESPN highlights have been forever archived, the all-time stats will show Piazza and Floyd got the job done, because stats don't show baserunning boners.

This is comforting how?

I don't know, because DC fans are probably cheering wildly?

[Willets Point]

Looks like Frank Robinson is delaying the game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gameday says:

Top 11TH B:1 S:0 O:3
Mike Piazza singles on a fly ball to right fielder Jose Guillen. Carlos Beltran scores. Double play, shortstop Jamey Carroll to catcher Brian Schneider to right fielder Jose Guillen to catcher Brian Schneider to shortstop Jamey Carroll. Cliff Floyd out at home. Mike Piazza out at 2nd.

Huh? Wow!

[Guest Rotblatt]

Way to recap, Yahoo! Sports!

]Last Play: M. Piazza unknown into double play shortstop to catcher to catcher to shortstop, C. Beltran scored, C. Floyd out at home, M. Piazza out at second

[nymr83]

Gary Cohen thinks Bell shouldn't be allowed to warm up and then not start the inning (thouhg he acknowledges it is within the rules) i disagree. if a pitcher warms up and the team thinks he looks like he's lost it while sitting on the bench they should be within their rights to pull him.

I'm watching the game, so this is what I saw.

First off, it was really perfect fundamental fielding by the Nationals. 9 times out of 10 the Mets score 2 runs and Piazza's safe.

Piazza blooped a soft single to right. Guillen made a real good throw to the plate and Beltran was safe. The problem was Piazza rounded first very slowly and came to almost a complete stop, then ran to second as Guillen threw to the plate. Schneider has a gun to Piazza was out. If he had kept running (it doesn't take a genius to assume Guillen's going home no matter what) he would have made it. Floyd was going from 1st to 3rd anyway, and seemingly went off 3rd after Schneider threw to 2nd. Carroll threw a bullet though and Cliff was out by a foot.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

It's not often that you see a play where the catcher throws the ball to the rightfielder.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Thanks, Bong! Yahoo! Sports could sure use you . . .

Lets go, Loopy!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

And Looper very quickly gets the first two outs.

[Willets Point]

Looper.

Piazza is always hitting into those 9-2-6-2 DPs.

On edit 2: And after 10 posts (3010 for the books) I'm still David Wright? It's cool to be in the levels where you get to be someone for more than 10 posts.

Byrd walks and Cordero (Wil) is up.
