IGT 133 - 9/1/05 vs Phillies - Big Important Game

[Guest Edgy DC]

My mother always feared that I'd become one.

[Elster88]

D-Wright strikes out as Cliff steals second.

I have a pronounced lack of energy.

On 3-2, Wright strikes out on a slider out of the zone as Cliff steals second.

[Willets Point]

Echo, echo,echo,echo...

[Guest Rotblatt]

On 3-2, Jacobs pops up to Rollins.

At least we're working the counts better.

[Frayed Knot]

Bottom 2:

Floyd - 1B
Wright - K swinging as Floyd steals 2nd
Jacobs - pop out to SS
Diaz - GO to 3rd

[Guest Rotblatt]

Diaz grounds out, but apparently in a manner that was exciting for Gary.

It's actually getting less dissapointing the more it happens. I'm of a mind to send Gary a copy of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." At this point, I probably won't believe his next home run call . . .

[Guest Rotblatt]

Diaz gets a late break on a Michaels fly ball but recovers to make a nice catch.

Abreu grounds out to first.

[Willets Point]

Glavine wants no part of Met-Killer Burrell.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Utley flies out to Beltran to retire the side. 56 pitches through 3 for Glavine.

Lieber's at 26 through 2.

[Willets Point]

Nice strike out on 3 pitches, DeFelice.

[Elster88]

Does anyone think that DiFelice could possibly get a hit?

Not really. I think Glavine has a better chance.

At least Glavine made contact, but I wish he'd taken a few pitches first.

[Guest Rotblatt]

First pitch swinging AGAIN, Reyes hits it to Michaels, who boots the ball. Reyes with a single, to second on an error.

[Guest Rotblatt]

In a huge spot, Matsui takes 3 pitches for balls, then a strike, then pops it up to the infield.

I'd STILL rather have him out there than Cairo, though.

[seawolf17]

Remember that time our second baseman drove in a run? Ah, the good old days.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Lieber's a model of efficiency. 36 pitches through 3 innings. At this rate, he won't hit 100 pitches until 1 out into the ninth.

I think it was Wally Backman, batting right handed, in a day game againstthe Expos in Jarry Park (Maybe Olympic Stadium). He pulled the ball down the left field line for a double.

Later

Alfonzo.

Glavine with his second 1-2-3 inning. 72 pitches over 4.

[Guest Rotblatt]

It's like we're not even trying.

Beltran & Floyd down quickly.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Wright with a chopper past Rollins. Two-out single.

[seawolf17]

I hate games like this. Before you know it, it's the eighth inning and they have four meaningless singles.

[Elster88]

Is anyone watching TV? Are the players looking subdued?

Jacobs grounds out to end the inning.

[Valadius]

I've been in class the whole game. Somebody brief me, please.

[Elster88]

Michaels grounds out on the 12th pitch of the at-bat.

A 1-2-3 fifth for Glavine.

This game is so blah.

Valadius, that's what we have IGTs for!

>>>Is anyone watching TV? Are the players looking subdued?<<<

I have it on, I almost fell asleep. I woke up like Pavlov's dog when that Corona
commercial came on with the woman in the black bikini.

Subdued? No. Wright has taken some pretty uncharacteristic swings at stuff
outside with his butt flying around a little. Floyd beat the shift on his hit. De-
Felice, oh never mind.
