I knew I shouldnta posted that.

[Valadius]

5 K's, 7 outs.

[Zvon]

so far, I cant complain.
Mets got 2 on small ball and long ball, and our ace is on the mound. Struggling tho, even tho no hits yet.

Councell walks and steals 2nd.
Do your stuff Pedro.
However you do it, keep us in the lead.

[Zvon]

maybe struggling is an overreaction to the fact he's all ready thrown over 50 pitches in the 3rd

[Valadius]

Pedro's getting his fastball up to 92 mph tonight.

[Valadius]

Oh, excuse me, now he hit 93 mph.

[Valadius]

2-0 Metsies through 3.

[metirish]

Like Zvon said, the pitch count could be a problem, his career high for BB is seven, that's just amazing and that was when he was with the Expos.

[Zvon]

Pitchers of Martinez's level always seem to find a way.

A pop up and a foul out and its still 2-0 Mets.

On an unrelated note, Shilling got shelled today in his 1st game back as a starter.
5 innings pitched. Gave up 8 hits, 6 earned runs. Threw 81 pitches, only walking one.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Cliff with a one out double to table set for the Youth Power Movement, Wright, Jake the Rake, and Diaz due up.

[Guest The Brooklyn Bum]

Cornelius goes the other way with a two bagger.

LGM!

[Valadius]

Floyd rips a double, Wright grounds out, here comes the Jake-Monster.

I agree here. Now would be a good time for Beltran to do a lil hittin.
I know many made light of how he hits when Pedro pitches(early on), but at least we had that to poke fun at. Ive enjoy watchin Beltran do the little things. I really want to see him do more of the bigger things during this stretch.
He grounded out.

[Valadius]

Jake-Monster walks. Up comes Victor.

[Zvon]

they pitch around Jacobs.
Excellent.
COMMMMMON Diaz, lets plate that run.

(I got some Shaefer points in my pocket if you do.....)

smooth 1-2-3 inning for DaAce.

i went looking for an appropriet pic of scooby horizontally floating and embracing himself.

Couldnt find one. So ill have to settle for this scooby snack

[Guest OlerudOwned]

8 pitch inning for Pedro, 1-2-3. That helps.

[Zvon]

whats he doin there? Scratchin fleas?
And that is his tail, right?

(I know we got some youngins who view. I must behave)

[Zvon]

I hope the Dback batters help out by swinging their bats and not looking at too many pitches. Pedros up to 67 pitches.

Afew quick innings is what we need. Get him to go deep before we hit the pen. We could def use 7 or 8 from pedro. If he goes deeper than that Ill eat my scooby snack.
.....or my Met hat.
You can make the call......

[Guest The Brooklyn Bum]

I was wondering how long it was going to take Fran to start blabbing about that thing that I'm not going to mention.

:x

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hat.

[Zvon]

I have a collection of met hats, so I can afford that.
Only have the one scooby snack.
Hat it is.

Yikes, I just noticed the unmentionable myself.

Pedro got thru that inning nicely. If he finds one of his REAL grooves.............
Ill shutup.

[Valadius]

Weird game for Pedro.

[Valadius]

Why can't Beltran get a hit?

[DocTee]

Question re: superstition... does it only apply to the spoken? Or any mention?

If the latter, check out the mets homepage--

Dumbass IT dept.

[Valadius]

Even Gary and Howie are talking about it. Argh!
