IGT - Rainy Friday 4/14/06, Brewers @ Mets

[Gwreck]

94 pitches, but I think he hits and gets 1 more inning.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Wow. 9 K's for Glavine!

When's the last time that happened?

Reynolds really thought it was a slap in Jackie Robinson's face, and that rather than it being a gold watch, that it was the Mets retiring 42 for Bob Murphy!

By the way, I wonder if Joy and/or the Murph family still has it? Be great if they donated it back to the Mets to display, or even Cooperstown.

In other words, I'd be greatly disappointed if that ended up in some regular or estate auction or

[Zvon]

ahhaha-he bats and he singles.
ya gotta love it.
GoGlavine!

[metirish]

The Shea crowd sounds different tonight....are they very drunk I wonder, the delay probably did it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Delgado could end this game right here.

[Gwreck]

Ah, they're playing the scene from Network for the "Let's Go Mets" bit. Wish I was there. Bases loaded for Delgado.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That Network thing is one of the things they do in every minor league park.

[Zvon]

at least we got a run out of that mess.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wow! Ten Ks for Glavine. Met high for him, right?

They dismiss Ralph with honor.

...as well they should.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's funny, Ralph gets better as he goes, getting more comfortable, but they can't devote too much time warming his old mind up, lest his middle-innings presence run over into the late innings, so Gary and Ronnie were pumping him like a slot machine.

Worked OK, though.

[metirish]

Freaking Glavine is rocking tonight.....Ralph is was great and we will see you in Atlanta.....

11-
but whos counting.......oh...we are.

[Gwreck]

11 Ks against the Rockies on 9/29/05. 12 is the career high.

[Gwreck]

Heilman warming in the pen.

[Zvon]

we all know Diaz can walk the walk----
Now talk the talk Victor.......STRIKE THREE!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pulling him after six on a double switch.

I. wanted. more.

I disagree Warewolf. Ralph should be treasured as the last living link to the sound of the Mets that many (if not most) of us here grew up with.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OotS:

Jeff Francouer homers in the bottom of the eighth off of Scott Linebrink to put Atlanta up, 5-4.

Scott Linebrink, Villian of the Day.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Heilman starting poor: two hits and a wild pitch/run scored.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Heilman not looking right, walking Clark on four pitches.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sanchez on, Heilman off.

Glavine left with 107 pitches and four straight Ks. Tom Seaver would not be happy.

then u misunderstand me...I agree 100%.

Settle down Aaron.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think he meant "should" in regards to the "honor" part, not the "dismiss" part.

[Gwreck]

C'mon Duaner, let's give Jenkins the golden sombrero.

[Guest Hillbilly]

This is getting tight. 4-3

[Gwreck]

They're "pitching" to Lee. Essentially the intentional pass unless he wants to swing at something here.

EDIT: at 2-0 count, they made it intentional in name too.
