IGT 7/19, Maxi Pads vs. Metropolitans

[Guest KC]

Oooooooo, David Wright in the five-slot!

[Guest KC]

And Piazza in the six, just so when we look back on this years from now ...
this was the day.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We're halfway and don't have a hit. Anna's Banana gets out of first iunning trouble but a solo HR by Greene leads off the visiting 4th and we're down 1-0.

Is it too deep a hole?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The answer is NO!!!!


Yeah, Cliffy.

Bang, pow, off the scoreboard, baby.

FU and your no-hitter, Lawrence. Wright follows with a single.

[Guest KC]

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Geez. Would it kill Beltran to drive in a run every now and then? We really coulda used that one.

[seawolf17]

Benson has been very good, despite throwing a lot of pitches early. Let's get him a W, fellas.

[Guest Edgy DC]

They let Lawrence bat in the top half of the seventh with a feller on base.

Let's get to him in the bottom half.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Floyd leads off with a single.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Piazza follows a popout by Wright with a single to center.

Lawrence is pult from the game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And Linebrink, who throws twice as fast as Lawrence, induces a DP groundout by Mientkiewcz.

I don't know how slow Mient is, or how slowed he is from his injury, but that didn't look turn-able.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Oh, geez, Roberts on to lead off. You know how this goes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Get back home, Loretta!

[seawolf17]

Mikey threw him out!!!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wow, I was wrong.

Now let's hope Mr. Koo can retire Giles.

[seawolf17]

I was in the middle of typing something like "leadoff walks score 650% of the time, especially with this running/throwing mismatch." Thanks for proving me wrong, Mikey.

Got it, busta.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hernandez is my hero.

Just think of the Mets' season without him this year.

[Guest Edgy DC]

GI Otsuka in to face Cameron with two on and one out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cammie grounds into a force at second.

Beltran fulfills his destiny and ends the mini-rally.

Grrr.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Dagnabbit.

Khalil Greene looks like a fruitcake and he's ruining my night.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The TV dummies didn;t say a word but shouldn't Cairo have been at 2nd after that stupid play by the Pads' outfielders? Very different inning otherwise.

[Guest MiniKnight]

Willie Randolph - Don't put Looper in the game. He'll blow it!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

MK - Looper is our closer. We have to hope for the best!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I wasn't sure. His fly wasn't really high.

I'm thinking maybe we should have reached a little deeper and bought Beltran a tent.

[Guest KC]

My transition into forum retirement gets easier by the minute.

[Guest KC]

Wright doubles, Piazza draws the fraidy cat IBB with one out in the ninth.

Offerman up.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Intentionally walking Piazza. Offerman is our Big Bat on the Bench.

Joel Cairo becomes the fall guy. And he was like a son to me.
