Mets @ Giants, 8/27

[Guest GYC]

What was Reyes doing?!

[Guest Rotblatt]

Motherfucker.

This game now officially sucks.

Jose pops up to the second baseman. He got a pitch to hit on 2-1--fastball about belt high--but couldn't catch up to it after 3 breaking balls.

Damnit damnit damnit. Now we have to get through their pen.

[Zvon]

damn.
We needed to plate one that inning.
Well, it aint over yet.
Padilla will pitch.

We need a hold here.

[Zvon]

a 7 pitch walk to start.
OUCH.

[Guest GYC]

Another walk for Padilla. Was ahead 0-2 for both.

[Guest Rotblatt]

eech.

And now he walks Fonzie after getting ahead 0-2.

[Zvon]

alls we need is the ol triple play here.

I mean, we ARE due for one a those, arent we?

[Guest GYC]

Nice play by Jacobs.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Cruz grounds out hard to Wright, who got the runner at second but there wasn't time for the DP.

Then a squib to Jacobs, who charged and made a strong throw to make Alou a dead duck at the plate.

Nice play by Jacobs.

[Frayed Knot]

Alou's still a great hitter but fortunately for us he can't do much of anything else. He got a terrible jump there.

[Zvon]

wow....thats twice the Mets cut down a runner at home in 2 days.
was that a possible DP ball?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That was an exciting inning for Padilla.

Too slow. And Padilla K's Matheny to get out.

k, i see this now.
Kool.
Padilla gets out of it.
Amazin.
NOW LETS HIT.
..............................Beltran....time 4 a blast

[Guest Rotblatt]

The one to Wright wasn't really--it was hit hard and started to eat up Wright, but he got it out of his glove pretty quickly and the throw to Matsui was a bit off. If he made a better throw, maybe, but Cruz is pretty quick.

DeFelice had to tag out Alou, so nothing doing there.

Padilla K's Matheny on a nice sinker to get out of the inning!

Gutsy job by Padilla, who REALLY shouldn't have lost Fonzie. Alou, maybe, but Fonzie's a shell of his former self now.

[Zvon]

Schmidt threw 111 pitches.

he done.

Damn.
Lets crack their pen.
I dont care if they say its a good pen.
Smack dat ball.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Eyre in and he K's Matsui to start the inning.

Now would be a good time to get hot, Carlos.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I don't think Carlos likes being told what to do.

He smacks a liner to left for an out.

Floyd pops it up to end the inning on the first pitch.

Well, ladies and gentleman, things don't look good for the Metropolitans.

I think Reyes' bases loaded popup will be the turning point of the game for us.

[Zvon]

shit.
yea, one clutch hit and ill shutup about beltran for at least a 4 day period.
But he has to get a groove. Now is the time for all good hitters to........blahblahblah.



So we got Wright , Jacobs, & Diaz to start the 9th.
Could be worse. they are all hot bats lately.
Lets start our MetMantra thing for hits in the 9th.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Two outs for Padilla, then a single past Matsui for Vizquel.

It'll be Benitez in the ninth.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

WRIGHT
JACOBS
DIAZ


The Holy Trinity. Let us pray.

[Guest Rotblatt]

And Niekro pops up to Diaz to end the inning.

Pretty solid performance for Padilla, all in all.

Come on, Mets. Let get something going!

[Guest Rotblatt]

The Father strikes out looking on a high cutter. Up to the Son and the Holy Ghost now.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Fuckshit.

This game sucks.

"Vintage Jason Schmidt" my ass. He didn't get past 92 mph all night and we hit everything pretty hard. AND he only had 4 K's while walking 5.

He got lucky.

Come on, Diaz.

[Guest Rotblatt]

And the Holy Gost doubles down the left-field line. Mere mortal Jose Offerman in to pinch hit for DeFelice.

[Zvon]

double for Diaz :))))))

aint over yet.
It would have bugged me if benetez 1-2-3rd us

[Guest Rotblatt]

OFferman tries to hit a home run and misses completely on a fast ball by Benitz.

3-2 count.

[Frayed Knot]

Woodward to hit rather than Castro?
Ramon has to come in anyway.

[Guest GYC]

Woody! Come on Woody!

[Guest Rotblatt]

And he walks. Woody in for Padilla.
