End the Madness IGT - 9/15/05

"I'm the slowest porcupine around but knowin' that don't get me down . . ."

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, now, no more charitable Schaefer points.

Bammo!

[Frayed Knot]

Takatsu with an impressive Shea debut inning: GO - K - K
He even got Guzman, something no one else on this staff seems to be able to pull off.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Floyd's 2005 line with RISP (before today): .286/.407/.557/.964.

With RISP and two outs: .303/.432/.591/1.023.

Nice.

[Elster88]

Double play to end the top of the seventh. Yawn.

KA-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM CLIFFY!!!

Sorry, didn't see it until now.

[Frayed Knot]

This just in ... WE NEED MORE RUNS!!!!

Bottom 7:

Reyes - BB
* Eischen relieves Livan *
Matsui - Sac Bunt
Beltran - IW
* Balk * moves runners up to 2nd & 3rd
Floyd - K

up now to Wright

[Frayed Knot]

Wright gets the IW

Mienty to face the lefty Eischen or PH (Piazza?)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gimme Piazza.

[Frayed Knot]

Yup. Piazza grabs the bat and Frank goes to the mound for a RHP, something named Travis Hughes.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Big moment for the future X-Met here.

[Frayed Knot]

GO to 3rd ... Shitfuck!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Now send him out to play first.

[Elster88]

Game day has bit the dust, methinks. Either that or this game is progresing really slowly. How many pitching changes have there been this inning?

I can't access mets.com, espn gameday is stuck at 4 to 1 Nats, what's the score?

[Frayed Knot]

No 1st base for Mike.
Gerald Williams to RF, Cairo to 1st.

Heilman still dealing for the Mets.
Washington used 3 pitchers that inning even as the Mets got zero hits: Livan, Eischen, then Hughes.


5-4 Mets top of 8th.

[Frayed Knot]

2 impressive (and dare I say; high leverage?) innings for Heilman:
7th: K - BB - GiDP
8th: K - K - K


Roberto has been warming up already "just in case". I say let him pitch the 9th. Heilman's batting spot will come up this inning.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I say....

I say you're right!

[Elster88]

Heil! man strikes out the side.

Except that now Hernandez has sat down and Looper is up.


Castro Ks
Cairo 1Bs
Marlon to PH but Frank goes for Stanton the lefty

Abandon all hope

[metirish]

Any leftie hitters for the Nats coming up?

I agree! Good use of Heilman, Willie!

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like Bennett ® - Guzman (Sw I believe) then the pitcher's spot.

The roster shows Washington with 12! reserve players (might not all be healthy). Schneider hits lefty might hit for Bennett. Vidro & Baerga switch-hit. Guillen is sitting today but he's a righty. Most other names are lesser known types.

[Theoldmole]

Mets used Heilman for the 7th and 8th because they didn't want to lose till the 9th?

[Frayed Knot]

Marlon Ks, Reyes GOs


We're goin to the 9th

[Centerfield]

How are the fans treating Looper?

[Frayed Knot]

Ryan Zimmerman - Washington's 1st round draft pick this year! (4th overall) PHs. He was a college 3rd baseman. -- 1B to RF + E on Williams and the leadoff runner is on 2nd. Kenny Kelly - briefly Met property runs for Zimmerman.

Guzman - GOs ... runner to 3rd

Guillen PHs for the pitcher

[Frayed Knot]

Guillen gets plunked - also gets a PR

Wilkerson (L) up with 1st & 3rd, 1 out

[Guest Edgy DC]

I dream of Armando.

Matusi error ties it up.
