[Guest Iubitul]

David Wright goes

KABOOM !!!!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright.

Yard.

Brother is on locked in.

[Guest Iubitul]

To quote Keith Olberman:

and he hit the ball real hard...

[Elster88]

Galvine in the thread title. For posterity and all.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, whatev. It's tied at 1-1 now with runners at first and second and Smoltz up with one out for Atlanta.

Brian McCann looks 15.

[Guest Edgy DC]

4-6-3

[Guest Edgy DC]

Furcal doubles to open the sixth and is bunted to third.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Excellent. Giles bounces out on a low changeup and the runner holds. Andruw Jones has to be walked, but they're pitching around him instead.

Nope, they're walking him.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He loses Franco.

Betemit's at-bat here is pretty huge.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He gets ahead 2-0 but Glavine gets back to 2-2.

Here we go. 3-2.

Crap.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Diving stop by Reyes and the Mets is out of it!

[Guest Iubitul]

Nice play by Reyes - it sounds like the joint is jumping.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets doing nothing swinging at Smoltz's shin-high splitters.

Check it out when lefties are up --- there's a guy behind the first-base dugout with about a dozen beer bottles sitting on top of the dugout.

[Guest Iubitul]

I haven't seen the angle from the third base camera yet...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Glavine's likely last inning facing 7-8-9. Francoeur singles (big dude, or Marlon Anderson is small).

McCain whiffs and Smoltz bunts. Two out, runner on second.

OE: He walks Furcal to pitch to Johnson. Let's see of Cox counters with a pinch-hitter.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And MLB.tv freezes up on me.

But Johnson whiffs. Only Glavine's second strikeout.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets get two runners on with two outs. Off her, Man on to pinch-hit.

OE: Grounds to first to end the rally.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

Sigh

it's a .500 team

[seawolf17]

Huge DP for Bert, then Reyes takes one off the fingernail on his right hand (thanks for the bloody closeups, FSNY), but it looks like he's going to wrap it and stay in the game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bad hops stink.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes opens with a 3-2 single.

Let's crack open a different finger every day.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cammie deeps him up.

Fuggles.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, Rietsma on to finish for the Braves.

Rally caps.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cliff leads off the ninth with a 3-2 single.

First good cut he had all night.

Piazza and Wright to follow.

[Frayed Knot]

I Knew It!!!


(just kidding)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Piazza deeps up on a hard grounder and Wright flies almost to the wall.

Good game. Difference was a bad hop. Both pitchers worked out of numerous jams.
