IGT 7/9/05 vs. PITTSBURGH CRAWFORDS

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Down 1-2-3 in top of the first.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Matched by a 1-2-3 bottom of the first.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Mets/Cubans strand two in the top of the second.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Ishii.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Ishii perfect through two!

Can this be the night?

Kaz Ishii and you--perfect together!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Some of us don't use that kind of language out of respect for baseball protocol.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Scoreless going to the bottom of the 3rd.

[Guest KC]

No hitter no hitter no hitter. I have powers over the game in Pittsburgh and
just blew it for Ishii? There is nothing more irritating to me than baseball fans
not wanting to say no hitter no hitter no hitter.

[Guest KC]

Ooops

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And the no no is no more.

Sigh....

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A Pittsburgh hit gives them a 1-0 lead and runners on the corners with one out.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A sac fly makes it 2-0 Pittsburgh.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Pirates strand three runners. 2-0 after three.

[Theoldmole]

Two men on for the Cubans

And they strand them

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And they're stranded. 2-0 Pittsburgh in the middle of the fourth.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

I've been waiting eagerly to see a Met pitcher throw a no no for well over 40 years, and I don't think I've ever felt more dubious after two perfect innings than I feel with Kaz Ishii. Cone, Seaver, Gooden, even Darling, Koosman, Pedro, hell, even Mlicki, Reed, Harnisch, I would have some hope extended.

But Kaz? Zilch. Zippo. Nada.

[Theoldmole]

Aflac trivia: Frank Thomas and Donn Clendenon?

[Theoldmole]

Bret - remember Bobo Holliman.

[Theoldmole]

Well, I got one right.

[Theoldmole]

I wonder what else they're doing in Pittsburgh for African-American heritage weekend? I would hope an August Wilson Festival.

[Theoldmole]

And baseball history buff Mike Cameron celebrates!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I missed how this happened, but suddenly it's a ballgame. 3-2 Pittsburgh in the 5th.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Cliff Floyd goes Ka Boom! to tie the game at three!

[Theoldmole]

The first two were a



for Cammie.

[Theoldmole]

Couldn't be worse.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

7-3 Pittsburgh and the 7th ain't over yet. Bell and Graves didn't get the job done tonight.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Fuckshit!

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

Think I need some more beers...

Anyone got some Iron City anywhere?

[Guest cooby]

Like Cliff doesn't have enough bruises. Throw that big fatass in jail. And his loud mouthed woman too

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

Bet the guy probably hurled a racial slur or something

At least Floyd didn't jump in.

Did like the guy's indignation as Floyd and security tried to get him removed
