IGT 7/27/05 - Trying To Win One in Denver

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

After VZ gives up a run in the bottom of the first, Marlon Anderson ties it up with one swing of the bat in the top of the second.

Let's beat this AAAA level team, ok?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Minty doubles. And he's standing on second, surrounded by flying insect thingies. Ick!

[smg58]

And I was just grumbling that Valent would be a much better person to sub in right than Anderson. I should stick to my day job.

hahaha, I saw that SK .

[metirish]

Former Met pitcher Desi Releford grounds out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Victor Zambrano didn't give up that run. Carlos Beltran did.

Mets 1) Reyes, ss 2) Cairo, 2b 3) Beltran, cf 4) Floyd, lf 5) Wright, 3b 6) Anderson, rf, 7) Castro, c 8) Mientkiewicz, 1b 9) Zambrano, p

Rockies 1) Sullivan, cf 2) Miles, 2b 3) Holiday, lf 4) Atkins, 3b 5) Byrnes, rf 6) Shealy, 1b 7) Relaford, ss 8) Ardoin, c 9) Wright, p

Now this is more like it...

[metirish]

Anderson and Castro homer...WOW..

[metirish]

Good news form Ted on the TV, the Astros put Brandon Backe on the DL today,a rookie named Astacio will take the start tomorrow night.

Zambrano with a bunt single...hell yeah.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Reyes singles. Let's keep this going if at all possible.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

When Mr. Wright came up with the bases loaded, MK said, "triple play situation."

Thankfully, Wright had other ideas and came up with a 2-RBI double <g>

[Elster88]

Cairo singles, Beltran doubles, Floyd intentionally walked, Wright doubles. Still no outs in the fifth.

7-1

I'm getting absolutely no joy out of this shellacking, because of the last two games. I'm just a grouch.

[metirish]

Mets break it open if that's possible at Coors, 7 - 1 Mets, I love the shot Bill Webb gives into the Rockies bullpen, you see some guy behind a tree/plant taking his warm up pitches....

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Still none out. This is a park where no lead is safe, I want Floyd and Wright to score before the inning is over.

]Victor Zambrano didn't give up that run. Carlos Beltran did.

I missed the run-scoring hit. Are you referring though to the single that dropped in front of him? He plays very deep and can't afford that poor jump he gets.

Manderson going for 3 HRs.

[Theoldmole]

I am. This is very pleasant.

[metirish]

He could have dived for that ball , he gave up on it.

[metirish]

Johnny Dickshot gets his wish.

[Guest MiniKnight]

A no-out, 4-run rally - what do you know?

What do you think of that?

[Elster88]

Avoid the radio tomorrow unless you want to hear screaming knuckleheads demanding that Castro get the starting catcher job.

[metirish]

MiniKnight I think it's just great, and it's not over yet...who's you fave player on the team?

[Guest MiniKnight]

The answer - Mike Piazza.

And what an inning - 6 runs in 10 at bats for the Mets!

Goodnight everybody.

I like it. Maybe Zambrano will actually get a win.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Minty is ejected for arguing a third strike call. Great........

[metirish]

Good answer, he's my all time fave...Doug Mink got booted from the game , Woodie takes over in RF, Anderson to first base, Mink was booted for yapping at the home plate ump.

[smg58]

Minky's not helping himself any.

[smg58]

No need to make this interesting, Victor.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

He's throwing easy and throwing it over the plate. That's pretty much what you expect with an 8-run lead. Beltran again arrived for the shallow single in slow motion, though I didn;t think he had a realistic chance. Prolly better to keep it in front if you can.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I am learning to totally hate the Matt Loughlin in-game segments. There's a game on, dammit - let's focus on that!

[Frayed Knot]

It was the none-on/two-out single in the 1st that started that inning that Beltran could have (and Cameron would have) gotten to, He had no chance on the RBI single that eventually brought that run in.

]Avoid the radio tomorrow unless you want to hear screaming knuckleheads demanding that Castro get the starting catcher job.

You won't be able to hear them over the calls for Marlon Anderson to be permenantly installed in RF.

Probably second base.
