Edgy I know first base is bad but we have to have some one playing the postition, maybe Anderson?

[metirish]

Victor gets throught the first inning, Reyes flies out to Lawton.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Mets lead 2-0 after two innings.

[Theoldmole]

Two in the books, we hold to the 2-0 lead.

[Theoldmole]

Anderson a nifty play at first.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Anderson is indeed playing first.

Dag nabbit, I'm blocked out.

Fellas, this isn't a national broadcast. It's a national cablecast. I don't subscribe to cable. I subscribe DSL service and MLB video. Where's my game?

[Theoldmole]

Full of Mets, and David Wright...

[Theoldmole]

Piazza makes it 4-0.

[Theoldmole]

Cubs in order in the 4th.

[Theoldmole]

And Jose gets his 20th straight game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Zambrano goes down with a back injury.

The Cubs' Zambrano.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Beltran, just when he was tied for the lowest average in the batting order, singles against the new Cub pitcher Wuertz (huh?).

Licky-boom-boom down!

OE: Floyd singles him around to third while I'm typing l-b-b. d.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ground-out RBI by Wright makes it 5-0.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Victor doing it without strikeouts again tonight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nuova now pitching for Chicago.

This is the Bullpen of Extraneous U's.

[Frayed Knot]

What a difference 5 days makes.
4 HRs inside 2 innings on Tuesday vs 3 singles thru 7 tonight

[Elster88]

Yay for Zambrano.

[Elster88]

Hey, just think if we had held onto one of those leads against Milwaukee.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Or both.

Of course, The Better Zambrano is partially to blame for that.

Eighty pitchers through seven and he has a shot to finish.

[Elster88]

Bang, pow.

[Frayed Knot]

Floyd "ruins" our singles only streak.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thank you, Cliff.

[Willets Point]

I tuned into this game in the third inning and heard that Zambrano was struggling and though the worst. It was nice to hear that it was the OTHER Zambrano.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He survives the eighth.

Let him hit, Willie.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Victor has looked sharp tonight. Carlos was pretty wild and couldn't get the third strike on hitters. The Mets hitters repeatedly fouled off 2 strike pitches. Carlos had thrown around 80 pitches in his 3 innings of work. Of course, his defense did little to help him out.

I'm just glad the correct Zambrano pitched well tonight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Offerman to pinch hit.

Hey, Willie, nothing personal but... BOO!

[Frayed Knot]

]He survives the eighth with the shutout intact.

Umm, no he didn't.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Great effort from Victor Zambrano tonight.

Looks like Heilman will come out to finish this one off.

[Theoldmole]

Another nice pick by Anderson for our number one, and an efficient K by Heillman for the second.
