[Elster88]

Castro?

[MFS62]

I guess Willie is afraid that Mike might slip on the wet ground and pull his, uh, wrist.

Later

[Zvon]

I missed a kabooooom!

is it too late?

Jacobs goes yard.

[Guest KC]

Yay, let's start the Pedro never liked pitching to Mike stuff again - someone
start a thread.

Jacobs KABOOMS a 2 run homer in his first AB against Smoltz.

2-sniffle through two at big Shea.

[Zvon]

whoaa

what a slide.
Reyes almost slid into left field,lol...
double for Reyes.
Damn, he dont run-he flies!

[Zvon]

ESPN is showing the game until the rain stops in the Boston game.

[Zvon]

big DP

5-Jones-Jones

[Zvon]

shoot--
they switched to the Yankee game.

These are the things that bug me just as much as the fact the Mets have lost like 13 of the last 15, in,,,,,....wait for it....




SEPTEMBER!

What gets me is the NY newspapers are back to the old 4 to 6 pages for the yanks and 1 to 2 pages for the Mets. That pisses me off more than Looper.

Sidenote: in another example of littlehitlerism by umpires Randy johnson is tossed in the 2nd inning of the yankee game, by(what looked to me) a hasty ump who turns reactions into confrontations.

[Zvon]

games on the Superstation too.
kool beans.




have to listen to these kiss ass Braves announcers tho.

BARF*

[Guest KC]

3-sniffle through six.

Mets got another run on a Reyes single, steal, Matsui sac to third, and then
Carlos gets an infield hit on the shallow playing infield with Smoltz slow to
cover first base on the ball hit that way.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm just getting home now and haven't tuned in or read this thread.

The Mets better be winning, and I mean a Looper-proof lead.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, all right!

[Zvon]

nice small ball.

Diaz singles & steals and Castro drives him in with a lil poke to left.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro pitching. Ralphie in the booth.

I'm on Cloud Eight!

[Guest KC]

4-sniffle through seven.

How cool would it be to sit next to Ralph Kiner on a four hour plane ride if
you could bend his ear and get him to talk baseball?

[Guest KC]

Pedro strikes out the side in the eighth.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Whiffs the side in the eighth.

Let. Him. Close.

[Guest KC]

Looper.

Sorry, it slipped out.

[Zvon]

KC wrote: Looper. Sorry, it slipped out.

Id bet pedro goes all 9.

From what Im reading, Im glad i missed the last few games.
Cept for Floyds grandKaboomer, looks like I saved myself alot of heartbreak.

9th inning errors, Looper, Willies great stratagies, Peterson wizmatic mound visits.......

[Guest Edgy DC]

Why wasn't Matsui able to get a slide in on that DP attempt?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro coming. Back. Out.

[Zvon]

Ralph with jetlag?
...........i dunno.

j/k-that would be an honor, for me.

[Zvon]

Edgy DC wrote: Why wasn't Matsui able to get a slide in on that DP attempt?

it must not have been an honorable thing to do.



Shit-Furcal rockets one for a double.

Let Martinez either close it or lose it.

NOOOOO LOOPER

[Guest KC]

Furcal starts off the ninth with a double, then Giles singles, Jones boys
coming up - drama time.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Victor Zambrano up in the bullpen.

[Zvon]

YESSSSSS
Ks Chipper.

I can handle Zambrano, if it comes to that.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gets Chip with an 89-MPH fastball.

Not like Chipper to go down looking like that, but he knows the tying run is behind him.

[MFS62]

Its that infamous 100 pitch "wall".
Pedro had 102 through 8.

Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

Golly.
