HR - Wright (22, off Hernandez -- Cairo, Beltran, Floyd scored).

Sweet.

[Guest KC]

Not to flog a dead mule, but why is Cairo playing?

Wright =

[Guest SwitchHitter]

I came here looking for an IGT. Yahoo says y'all are in the sixth. I guess nothing's happening.

[Zvon]

lookin good!

And Wright makes my wish come true.


A granny gives him a chance for 100 ribbys this yr.
He's also batting in the top 10 in the NL at .307.

(the main reason I was wishin for another dinger was I was holdin that^ kaboom)

Glavine has looked good tonight; only one walk (to Vidro in the 8th), six K's, four hits and two runs.

Reyes and Willie apparently got EJECTED in the seventh for arguing balls and strikes, but I missed it (we were watching Coheed & Cambria, my new favorite band, on Fuse). I can't believe Willie actually argued! Perhaps he was thrown out by mistake.

[Zvon]

Hernandez to close again.

This is one they coulda thrown to Looper. Like a bone.

[seawolf17]

And Bert gets the save; Tom Glavine moves to #29 on the All-Time Win list with 274, breaking his tie with Red Ruffing.

[Guest KC]

I didn't see them get tossed, but Reyes got robbed of a double or triple by
first base blue who called it foul and then he gets robbed of first on a close
play in the same AB. I don't know if the ejections are related, though.

Met win, 5-2. Nice job by Glavine and Hernandez to close. All the runs come
in the first and it's enough this time around.

Please check your belongings and arrive home safe!

[Zvon]

So ol man Hernandez wraps it up. Nice.

I missed all the excitement in the 1st inning.
Still, good game and good win for the Mets.

Does that make em .500?
that or a game under.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I really love reading stories with a happy ending.


Glavine seems to have really found himself in the latter part of the season. He has pitched quite well since the start of August. He seems to be pitching inside more frequently and has mixed a curve in with the fastball and change. Hopefully, the adjustments he has made will pay off next year, since I don't think he's very likely to be traded in the winter due to his contract.
