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

[soupcan]

My internet was down but my TV wasn't:

Ted Robinson: "Camilo Pascual was one of the last cuban players ton come over before Castro came to power."

FX: "You know, Castro wanted to be a major league pitcher..."

Really Fran? Wow I never heard that story before...

Oh wait yes I have - about a thousand frikkin' times!

Moron. I hat him so damn much.

[Elster88]

Floyd doubles deep into center, one hops the wall.

Wright hit a chopper to the mound and....

Floyd was caught off second, and stood still as the pitcher ran at him. Finally, as the pitcher almost reached him, he deked him to second and ran to third, making the rundown last long enough so Wright could get to second. Nice job by both of them so there was no damage except for replacing the runner with slower legs (and the out of course).

Actually, how fast is Wright?

Loved that Matty trying to call the beer man thing. Then he left the poor guy wondering what the heck was going on...

Yet another stupid aspect of the telecasts that tighten my colon.

'Matty in the Stands' - ugh.

[Guest cooby]

Yeah, but this time it was funny...

[metirish]

It's was a 9 - 2 game, Mattie in the stands doing his thing was cool with me, I'm with Cooby, I thought it was funny.

[soupcan]

It was funny because he screwed it up!

[Guest cooby]

Hey cheer up, next year when they are on none of our cable systems, we won't be able to watch them

[Guest cooby]

Yes, if it had worked, it would have been lame, I agree

[soupcan]

There is NO WAY the Dolans are going to deprive me of the Mets.

If I have to go satellite I'll do it. I will.

You hear me Dolans?! Do you?! I'll do it you bastards!

[Guest cooby]

Give them a yell for me :( And I already have one

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

With a 9-2 lead in the 8th, it's Danny Graves time.

[Guest cooby]

I thought they dumped him.

Oh no, that was just me

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

You dumped him? No wonder he's been pitching like shit - he's heartbroken!

[Guest cooby]

He was breaking my heart.

I have three dang players (not counting Zambrano) playing for me tonight, now that Minky is gone. Or is Cliff gone too? They were speculating when I came back here

[metirish]

First out, if Graves can't be a mop-up man then what, c'mon Danny, be all you can be.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A double play preserves the 9-2 lead.

On to the 9th!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

We can trade two run homers for outs here with a 9-2 lead.

Knowing that, Graves lets the first two batters of the 9th get on base.

Oy!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, I was talking about Beltran letting the initial hit drop in front of him. He quit a few strides too early, and it had nothing left to skip by him with if he went all out. Good to hear Knot agree that Cammie would have had it.

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

Oh, I will.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Juan "Shades" Padilla is getting loose in the bullpen.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

One out on a strikeout. So we can trade three run homers for outs now.

[Guest cooby]

You do have an odd sense of logic, don't you?

[Theoldmole]

Big K for Danny.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Sullivan strikes out for the second out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Graves digs a hole but climbs back with two whiffs.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

]You do have an odd sense of logic, don't you?

It's all about the mathematics.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A walk loads the bases.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A single makes it 9-3. Bases still loaded.

Before you know it we'll have a save situation.

[Theoldmole]

Danny os not much of an asset to the Mets. Could they still blow this?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nope. Line single makes it 9-3.
