IGT 4/5/06 - Young Mr. Bannister Debuts vs. The Nationals

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

One batter - one out.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Followed up by his first Major League strikeout.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And a flyout to Nady completes Mr. Bannister's 1-2-3 first inning.

[metirish]

Looking good early.

[Theoldmole]

Couldn't ask for better. Nice in the field too.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Great at-bat for Reyes - a single in a 10-pitch at-bat.

No kidding. Great showing by Reyes. Nice to see this early in the season. First steal too.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And he proceeds to steal second.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

LoDuca draws the walk.

[Gwreck]

Eddie C. predicting bunt...but Beltran strikes out.

The boo-birds really need to STFU.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Beltran strikes out, to a chorus of Boo Birds.

MK is offended at the booing. Rightfully so!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Delgado also strikes out

Mr. Wright is at the plate.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

an RBI single for Mr. Wright! Woo-Hoo!

[metirish]

Can someone tell Keith that the Mets played Monday and not yesterday.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Mr. Wright steals second.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Cliff strikes out, apologizing to lubitul on his way back to the dugout.

1-0 Mets after an inning.

[Guest Rotblatt]

A fine first inning by Bannister there. Pitches looked pretty good and he threw strikes when he needed to.

Reyes looked like a seasoned pro out there. Last year, when he took pitches, I had the feeling he had decided to take the pitch before it was thrown. Didn't get that impression at all today.

Wright's a monster. Love that kid.

[Guest GYC]

I want David Wright's babies.

[metirish]

Apparently he drilled Soriano, we didn't see it though.....to much talking going on.

According to the radio broadcast, turned his head and it clipped him in the earflap.

[metirish]

On the TV replay it was more than a clip, right on the ear flap.

[Guest MiniKnight]

Yay! Patterson's not a good hittting pitcher! ours had a 1.000 average yesterday. Hah!

[Guest GYC]

Bannister gets out of a 2nd and 3rd with no outs jam

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Ka-Boom for Nady!

[Guest GYC]

Cameron who?

[Gwreck]

Nady!

[metirish]

Nady goes

[Guest Rotblatt]

Wow.

I didn't think Bannister would get out of that.

And how about a little



for our 5-5 boy, Nady!!!

[Gwreck]

Patterson's on pace for 27 Ks on 221 pitches. Oh, and he loses 9-0, too.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Scarlet, that's amazing.

I'm embarassed for my little Kaboom! now!
