IGT 6 - 4/11/06 at Nationals - Bannister vs. Ortiz

[Guest Rotblatt]

From our friends at www.passedoutwookies.com I give you Jon Rauch:

[Diamond Dad]

Triple city! Wheels are something you can't teach. Oh, yea -- the Mets tried to teach him how to run better. Messed him up for a year.

Like I said . . . can't teach

[Diamond Dad]

gotta be kidding me?? Walking Delgado to get to Mr. Wright???

Be offended, David

[Guest Rotblatt]

Wright our only hope for scoring again this inning.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

David Wright flies out to be modest

[Guest Rotblatt]

Shoot. I was really hoping the Wookie Armor picture would turn out to be a good luck charm against Rauch.

I don't trust Julio with a 5-0 lead. Heilman hasn't pitched in a while.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I really don't trust Julio with a 5-1 lead.

[Elster88]

Soriano homers to left. That one's my fault.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Soriano puts a blemish on Bannister's Banner Day by homering to deep left.

One more out, Brian.

5-1 Mets.

[Elster88]

1 run in 7 innings from Bannister. I'll take it. In fact, let's temporarily promote him to the #4 pitcher in the rotation.

[Guest Rotblatt]

And Zimmerman flies out to deep left to end the inning.

Very nice, Brian.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

He's the first Met starter this season the reach the 7th inning.

I don't want to see any part of Julio either. He hasn't been throwing in the pen, has he? Maybe just to give the Nationals false hope.

[Guest Rotblatt]

[Guest OlerudOwned]

with the 1-2-3 inning.

[Guest cooby]

Whoa he is mean looking

[Elster88]

Let's double switch and get Woody into the game.

[Elster88]

Heilman gets the call as requested.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Well, either Willie (still) hasn't figured out the double switch yet or he wants someone else to work the ninth.

[seawolf17]

You know who doesn't look like Kenny Rogers? Kenny Rogers. When he was on Idol a few weeks back, he looked way different. I know he's older now, but his hair is short and his beard is trimmed to just a van dyke. Weird.

[nymr83]

another great game.

i just wanted to point out (and didnt want to start a thread) that the yankees are currently losing and that in Chicago pitcher Branson Arroyo has his 2nd homer in as many starts for the Reds.

Or maybe he's willing to let Heilman get an at bat if it allows him to keep Hernandez in the game for his glove.

That makes sense.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Heilman goes through them 1-2-3, ending the inning with a called strike 3 on Ward.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I guess we'll find out what Willie was thinking when we see if Aaron gets to bat for himself.

[duan]

surely it's Darren Oliver time.

[Elster88]

14 pitches, 11 strikes.

Poor bastard still won't sniff a start with Bannister pitching the way he is.
