IGT 4-19-2006 Mets vs Braves Still April but important game

[Elster88]

It's okay. With Valentin, Castro, and Chavez coming up, plus our mighty bench in the pitcher's spot, we'll get them back right NOW!!!

[Diamond Dad]

Are Beltran and Floyd available to pinch hit?

True, but he was going after the ground ball. It wasn't a bad play.

However, no MVP chants today.

[Elster88]

You know, with our good start, I thought I wouldn't be that bothered if we dropped 2 of 3.

But I was wrong. I feel like shit right now. I don't feel like playing softball tonight.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Valentin looks like shit.

[Guest cooby]

Whoa, it's Yancy...

[A Boy Named Seo]

Endy Chaves looks like shit.

[Centerfield]

Wow. This is just pathetic. I know we have injuries but this effort is just awful.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Valentin, just get one hit for posteritiy, will ye's?

[Diamond Dad]

I never thought I'd say this, but

Bring back Victor Diaz! At least he has a shot at a hit

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let's go to Bradford for the ninth. I'd like to see if he can undo Jones. Three righties due up.

[metirish]

Valentine should retire, take the money and just go,he must be embarrassed with himself.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I'm just embarassed for us. I mean, this is a pathetic showing.

[Elster88]

Fuck it. Fastball to his back. Maybe it'll wipe the smirk off his face.

[Diamond Dad]

I agree about Bradford. When's he going to get some work?? Rick loved him in Oakland, now he's just sitting

[A Boy Named Seo]

Someone clarify-

Can Diaz be recalled now? Or do the Mets have to wait 10 days? I thought it was 10 days.

[metirish]

Wait 10 days unless a player goes on the DL....

[Diamond Dad]

If they put somebody on the DL (Cliff) they can recall him before the 10-day period

[Centerfield]

10 days unless someone goes on the DL.

[Elster88]

Who do we want in the ninth? Franco?

Who's even on the bench and healthy?

[Guest Rotblatt]

I think we should put Beltran on the DL. He'd only have to sit out for 11 days, and if it means not having to see Chavez, Valentin & Woody in the same lineup for even one game, it's worth it.

[metirish]

No to Franco I would think, to big a game, he hit the backstop while warming up when he pitched last night, wound a little tight I think.

[Centerfield]

Good job Aaron.

Delgado 3 Run HR coming up.

[Diamond Dad]

Pinch hitter, Reyes, Woody, then Carlos D

Enough worrying about how fast the game has gone-- time to end it favorably no matter how long the bottom of the 9th lasts!

A lot less than that if we retro him no? Or is 15 the minimum?

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

Don't make me angry
You, yooou wouldn't like it when I'm angry...

I...I... warned you

METS SMASH!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I understand this Franco character isn't very young.

[Guest Rotblatt]

This game sucks.
