S.O.S. - I.G.T. ... 9/4/05

[Frayed Knot]

As in; Save Our Season


Anyway, Mets take 1-0 lead off Burnett in the 1st as a Beltran groundout drives in [u:a86f048d56]Matsui!!![/u:a86f048d56] who was on 3rd following a loooong triple to RCF.

Jae Seo on the mound

[Guest martin]

matsui has so much more upside than cairo, which is why i choose matsui if both of them are slumping.

[Frayed Knot]

KazMat stars in the bottom of the 1st also with 2 nice plays. Seo works around a 2-out walk to Cabrera to end the inning courtesy of a decent running catch of a foul ball by Cliff.

[Frayed Knot]

SPEED KILLS!

Castro uses his "speed" to create a run.
First he legs out a potential DP ball - thanks to a double-clutch by Castillo at 2nd ... and then scores standing all the way from 1st on a Diaz 2-out 2B - thanks largely to the fact that while Cabrera may be a terrific hitter he's an awful runner/OFer who failed to cut-off what was essentially a liner over SS.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Pierre's throw was pretty lame too.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I wonder if those Yanqui fans who are drooling over John Peter as their next leadoff hitter/CFer realize that his arm is barely better than Bernie's. Or that his OBP is nothing to write home about these days also.


Seo dances around another walk & an infield single to toss a scoreless 2nd.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Ka-Boom for Cliffy over the center field fence!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

Cliffy goes bang-zoom with a laser over the CF fence following a gift 2-out IF single for Beltran.
Burnett isn't getting much help from his 'D' so far but we've also hit a few shots: Kaz, Cliff, Diaz

4-zip bottom 3

[DocTee]

So much for Cliffy tiring...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Seaver is doing his best Fran imitation, going on and on about Seo's confidence since coming back from Norfolk.

4-0 Mets after three.

[Frayed Knot]

Uno - Two - Tres for JWS in the 3rd

[Valadius]

Never give up... never surrender.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Encarnacion scores on a wild pitch.

4-1 Mets after four.

[Valadius]

Come on, quit being so damn pessimistic everybody. Cairo's not playing today, so you can come out from your caves.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's a gorgeous day up here Valadius. People may actually be out of their caves and enjoying the weather.

BTW, how is college life treating you?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

An RBI double by Mr. Wright drives in KazMat. 5-1 Mets in the fifth

[Guest martin]

man, that cabrera is one slow runner for being such a greeat young athlete. he looks like jason philips in the outfield.

[Valadius]

We've got the Seo Stopper on the mound.

[Valadius]

College life's good, except I haven't been able to get to the many parties that have occurred on campus.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

What's keeping you from them?

[Valadius]

Nobody invites me is the problem.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

What kind of a college is that? I thought that parties were more open, especially for freshmen.

[Valadius]

Yeah, I know, but I feel uncomfortable going somewhere that no one invited me to.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Make friends with the hottest chick in your dorm (or if you must, 3rd or 4th hottest).

They will get invited to parties and take you.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Meanwhile, it's 5-1 Mets after six innings.

[Valadius]

5-1 Metsies through 6.

[Theoldmole]

Sometimes it takes a while to find your rhythm in college. Don't worry...hang in there.

[Valadius]

If WWSB goes back to Cairo after today, I swear to God...

[seawolf17]

Ah, yes... hot chicks. Good times.

Agreed - I don't want to see Cairo back on the field unless it's the eighteenth inning and we're out of pitchers.

[Valadius]

I'd rather see Derek Bell on the mound than have to endure another day of Cairo at 2nd, batting 2nd.
