IGT 4/9/06: Game 5 - vs. Marlins - Willis vs. Glavine

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ick. Double play erases our second leadoff runner.

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

Hey Moron Radio guy alert. Stringer on 1050 ESPN Radio mentions something about the game, then the update guy comments that the stringer had JUST jinixed the game. Well the jinx didn't happen, but the way the update guy said it made me think that something DID happen when in actuality, it DID NOT!

Ugh!

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

I'm surprised you're unfamiliar with Marlowe:

A heavy case
When force to force is knit, and sword and glaive
In civil broils make kin and countrymen
Slaughter themselves in others, and their sides
With their own weapons gore!


Still 0-0. Glaive sacrifices Hernandez to strange territory for him, second base.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Fish aren't good enough to try and get away with baserunning like that.

On their way to 110 losses.

[duan]

there's something i wanna talk about but I won't for a while.

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

7,001 and counting...


Yeah that assumes this becomes an official game, pretty safe assumtion though at this point!

[Guest holychicken]

I was really hoping that we would jump all over willis . . . instead it seems that he continues to dominate us.

But whatever, sword boy looks pretty good.

[duan]

with all these games against the fish & nationals (two TERRIBLE offenses) in 3 great pitcher's parks this is a great year for a no-hitter - or a met pitcher to lead the league in era anyway.

I wonder what odds you'd get on Pedro for a Cy Young.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

LO-DU-CA

not DA-LOO-CA

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

I like Dean and DeLuca. A little pricey, but nice.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets down 2-0 and no posts to note.

Paul No Nuka just walked on ten pitches on an automatic ball. What gives? Is Dontrelle Willis (future Yankee, by the way) going to his mouth too much?

OE: No, apparently he singled. Stoopit Gameday.

Rally song:

You can�t depend on your teacher;
You can�t depend on your preacher;
You can�t depend on politicians;
And you can�t depend on superstitions.

Hey!

Love can rock you!
Never stop you!
Aah, aah, aah, ah...
Love is like a rock!

You can�t rely on Mother Nature;
You can�t rely on you paycheck;
You can�t depend on you doctor;
You can�t rely on your lawyer. No!

Hey!
Love can rock you!
Never stop you!
Aah, aah, aah, ah...
Love is like a rock!
Love can rock you!
Never stop you!
Aah, aah, aah, ah...
Love is like a rock!

Aah, aah, aah, ah...

Love can rock you!
Never stop you!
Aah, aah, aah, ah...
Love is like a rock!
Love can rock you!
Never stop you!
Aah, aah, aah, ah...
Love is like a rock!
Love can rock you!
Never stop you!
Aah, aah, aah, ah...
Love is like a rock!

The power of Donnie:

[Guest Hillbilly]

2-2 Tie. Wright gets a gift triple and the duke and Beltran score - Boooooooo!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Dagnabbit. Nady shoulda drove in a run there.

[Guest Hillbilly]

And they strand Wright at 3rd. The game's in the Bullpen's hands.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Donnie Iris ties it for us, though.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Our heavy hitting second baseman gets on with a leadoff hit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wagner's got to pitch the ninth whether they take a lead or not.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tough spot for the Marlins to throw a rookie into.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And... the Met have the winning run on third, no outs, and David Wright coming up.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

[Guest Edgy DC]

Call MetsWalkoffs.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Winning is fun.

[DocTee]

Mets win!

Solid performance

[Guest Edgy DC]

Starting 0-5: muy malo.

Starting 4-1: muy bien.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Good stuff. Nice come from behind win against their ace. I hope our bullpen can get us a few of these late inning wins against the better teams too.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Great game. Willis & Glavine both looked pretty dominant tonight. Wright DID get a gift on that triple, but it likely would've been a RBI single regardless.

Sanchez looked pretty good, if a little inconsistent. Billy's got to get his fastball working, but he was effective, so I guess I can't complain too much.

I love that old man!
