8/26 @ SF Giants IGT

[Elster88]

I'm really surprised that they didn't bunt there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Looper had the runner caught, but they didn't have anybody covering second fast enough.

[Frayed Knot]

I think what Beltran was "afraid" of was having the ball go by him if he dove for that ball but missed. That's the wise play there. Neither he nor Diaz - nor any Diaz replacement you might want to name - were likely to catch that one.

[Elster88]

Ground out to first. Two out runner on third. I don't need this kind of stress before bed.

[Guest holychicken]

1 more out. . .

[metirish]

Mets win...fuck yeah

[Guest martin]

[Elster88]

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Five! Five on a row!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Whatever became of sluggo by the way. The Count was his gig.

[metirish]

Mets starters on this road trip have a 0.97 ERA...I mean what can you say?

[Zvon]

="Johnny Dickshot"] Five! Five on a row!

and we never needed it more than now.

afew more in a row would be nice.
like from now until Oct.

[Guest GYC]

No, Looper, Pedro Feliz and Moises Alou are NOT tough outs you FOOL!

I was thinking that too.

[Guest Edgy DC]

]and we never needed it more than now.

Well, to be a touch pedantic, I think we could've used five in a row in October '88.

They are to most National League pitchers. Alou is having a hell of a year.

haha.....
or late Sept in 87.

[Zvon]

Just in time to catch battlestar gallactica......kool
nite all.

[nymr83]

winning any of the last 5 (the mets lost them all) would have made the mets a wild card winner in '98 as well.

[metirish]

Foget the WC, the Mets are four games out in the East, should be a great finish to the season....

[Frayed Knot]

- Looper on why Padilla was warming up:
Nothing to do with him, just throwing on his own since he hadn't pitched since being stretched out on that day Benson bombed
(Gary & Howie speculated that it was something to do w/Looper).

- Trax: Was "getting close" [to his limit] during the last few batters.
