IGT 9/3/05 - Mets vs. Marlins

[Valadius]

Benson flies through the order, moving to the 4th.

[Guest martin]

when they put that upcoming pitching probables graphic on the screen it is really reassuring:

seo
trax
pedro
glavine

i like it. everybody on that list is red hot and pitching great now except pedro. and thats a good sign when pedro is the question mark. thats a solid lineup.

i would be alot more worried if the pitching hadnt been so fantastic of late.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Longest possible time till Cairo bats again, aka rally time with a Beltranian double.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Heart of the order due up for the Mets. Let's see if they have a pulse.

[Valadius]

Beltran serves up a double! Here's Cliffy.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

BANG.

POW.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Beltran leads off with a double.

I'll be happy with a single, Cliffie.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Cliffie must be Santa, because he really came through for me.

[Zvon]

opposite field for Floyd.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Way to goooooooooo

2-0 Mets with a lead

[/smites forehead] If only Valadius had spoken up when Delgado was available, the Mets would be way in first place now!

oe: changed "We" to "the Mets"; years of habit.

[Valadius]

Ka-BOOM-BOOM Cliffy!!!

[Guest KC]

[Valadius]

Beckett's up to 77 pitches through 4. Way to tire him, guys.

[Valadius]

Way to come back from a 3-0 count, Kris!

[Zvon]

love that pic KC

That makes my hard drive in a click/click

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Bad play Victor.

[Elster88]

Fucking Diaz.

[Elster88]

Is it an error?

[Valadius]

As I have said numerous times, I DON'T like Diaz out there.

[Zvon]

that was called a hit!?

Cripes. Diaz, whaddup?
Dont be givin them gifts like bloop doubles.
With Delgado up, no less.
yikes

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

predictable.

[Zvon]

UGH.


I dont care what they called that bloop, it was an error to me and.....

ERRORS KILL!

Delgado launches a monster homer.

[Valadius]

WTF!?!?!?!?!

[nymr83]

he lost it in the lights. i seem to recall cameron doing that last year with the bases loaded. its part of the game and a bad call by the official scorer thats gotta be an Error.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Double by number-three hitter.

Homer by the cleanup hitter.

A true tie.

"If only Valadius had spoken up when Delgado was available, the Mets would be way in first place now!"

Look this is just silly; The Mets made a very good go at signing Delgado, the fact of the matter is that it didn't quite happen; it wasn't due to Wilpon being tight with money, it wasn't due to the Mets being stupid.

If you get involved in high level negotiations there's always moments where deals can be stand/fall. They got close but didn't get there.[edited extra] - You have a point where you have to make a decision, call someone's bluff, go one more round, accept a counter proposal - only those WITHIN the negotiations know how it ended up where it did.
They did get the other three big deals done (Benson, Martinez & Beltran) - 3/4 it isn't bad. So I'll give them a mulligan on Delgado.


***** of course: Delgado hitting a two run jack shows that Minaya MAY have got the evaluation wrong and SHOULD have gone to the 60/64/100 million that may have got it done. *******

He did end up getting his glove on it, and catching it, but it blooped out. Yea, error. There are errors in judgement, and that was one of em.

Aint it just like baseball. A teams cruisin and then a bonehead play is followed by a homer.
Dagnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnabbit

[Elster88]

And Reyes hurts himself sliding into third. I called it a long time ago.

Did Lowell --- is that still Lowell? --- intentionally step into Reyes' path there?

[Elster88]

He stays in the game and scores on Cairo's sacrifice.
