Gah! I was on the telephone with my daughter!

[Guest Edgy DC]

How was the graduation party?

[Guest cooby]

You me to tell you about it in an IGT?

[Guest Rotblatt]

Benson with 4 Ks through 5.2 IP. With just 1 more, he'll have as many in July as he did all of June.

[Willets Point]

(Moment of silence)

[MFS62]

Boys and Girls, it looks like David Wright is in a slump.
And it also appears he's developing an allergic reaction to the RBI.

Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

The middle of the Mets lineup has four hits. Still only two have crossed the plate.

[Guest KC]

They show Guillen in the dugout and Ted comments that he hasn't seen him
cough once during the game (he has "bronchitis")

Spivey to pinch hit, but was in the clubhouse. The look on Frank's face was
priceless.

Also not mentioned here, Frank comes out during Armas' AB when the count
was 0-2 and puts his arm around him and tells him something. When was the
last time you saw that? Little league?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Seven solid innings and 105 pitches. Benson is likely done.

Let's get him a win.

[Frayed Knot]

Both ptichers replaced to start the 8th:
Offerman PH-ing (for Benson) against Hector Corrasco (or Rookie Caroca - I get them mixed up)

Offerman = K

[Centerfield]

Damn. Carlos needed another foot. Damn.

[nymr83]

i just punched my radio across the room :/
i am fuckin tired of gary cohen making a flyout sound like a no-doubter off the bat!

[Guest KC]

We gotta get out of this god forsaken ball yard with a win. This place just
eats up long fly balls and spit them out laughing.

[Frayed Knot]

Rrrrrrroberto in to face 3-4-5

[seawolf17]

And we go to the ninth. Boy, this is nerve-racking for a "meaningless July game."

[Guest KC]

And sends them down mightly.

[nymr83]

it just occured to me that Reyes is again leading off and Wright is again batting 7th....just when i thought Randolph was finally starting to "get it"

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Floyd, Piazza, Anderson due up in the ninth.

Some heroics from Mike would be nice and nostalgic.

[Frayed Knot]

Gnats go to their closer for the 9th: Floyd - Piazza - Anderson

[Guest Edgy DC]

K-liff

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Piazza out on a foul pop.

Not the heroic feat I was hoping for.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Anderson singles.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Marlon Anderson: Single-hittin machine.

[Guest Edgy DC]

On the other hand, onsequential Piazza is a primary reason we haven't lost this yet.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Wright is the third out.

Bottom of the ninth, score tied at 2.

[seawolf17]

And the leadoff man is on with a hit. COME ON, Heath.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Heath Bell, pitching in the ninth, gives up a leadoff single to Brian Schneider.

[Frayed Knot]

Bell & Woodward in for Hernandez & Anderson (double switch).



Lead-off single - Sac bunt
2 shots to win it for the Gants

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Bell doubleswitched into Anderson's spot, Woody playing 1st and hitting 3rd in the 10th if there is one: Bell surrenders a leadoff single to Scneider, who's bunted over to 2nd. Cepicky and a PH to try and win it.
