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

[Guest Rotblatt]

You know, the worst part is that our team, for all its injuries, was STILL better off than Atlanta's.

We're missing Cliff & Beltran; they're missing Chipper, Renteria & Giles--not to mention Hampton.

And their scrubs aren't really any better than ours.

bleh. This was a crappy fucking game.

Damn

This is why WWSB likes to say that you never get too high when you're winning or too low when you're losing, he's very even keeled.

Everybody break out the panic hats!!
The season is ruined!!

[Guest Rotblatt]

If it's any consolation, Diaz probably wouldn't have helped very much: 6 AB, 3 K, 0 H, 0 BB against Hudson.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I was loving the thought of a game-winning homer by Delgado.

Oh, come on. Join the pity party!

This game is CLEARLY an omen of things to come: peeps injured but taking up bench space; ballgames lost to bitter rivals due to errors by our marquee player; scrubs getting most of the playing time while better players languish in the minors, etc., etc., etc.

148 games later, we will look back to this game and say, "THIS is where the season turned."

[Centerfield]

For what it's worth, I was kind of encouraged by today's game, loss aside.

If Glavine pitches this well, we'll have a nice 1 and 2 going.

Too bad our 3-4-5 is loaded with question marks.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro is coming! Pedro is coming!

[Guest heep]

The only thing to look forward to now is another shutout by Pelfrey tonight.

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

Ah screw it, image was too freaking huge, suffice to say Doom will have his revenge on the accursed Atlanta Braves!

[Elster88]

Endy Chavez better not be starting tomorrow.

Do you think you made enough comic book references mlb? Maybe you should squeeze in another 10 or 15.

[Centerfield]

mlb is weird these days.

Herniated Disc - KazMat to be called up.

Valentin is now 0-15 with 5 Ks.

[Guest martin]

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE...

Oh sorry, SECOND BASEMEN ASSEMBLE!

[metirish]

hahahaha...I love the comic references....they are a delight.

[Guest cooby]

They certainly brighten up an otherwise gloomy IGT

[metirish]

Just watching the replay of the game, Wright had himself a rough day all over the place.

yep-errors kill.

So Hernandez goes on the 15 day DL.

I know they are calling Matsui up, but whats wrong with calling Diaz back (2 outfielders down) and stickin Woodward at 2nd?

Guess we are gonna have to give Kaz his seasonal shot at a position sooner or later.
Im thinkin later......

[Willets Point]

That was like the shortest game ever and you guys still managed to run the IGT up to 12 pages. Nice pitchers duel with a bad ending. The wind was blowing in something fierce so Andruw (sic) Jones really crushed that ball. Bah!

[Guest cooby]

Poor Willets, what a boring game to choose to go to

[Guest Edgy DC]

]Guess we are gonna have to give Kaz his seasonal shot at a position sooner or later. Im thinkin later......

I'm thinkin' that Hernandez is going to be out probably longer than 15 days, and has geen a drag on the offense. I don't see how this isn't the obvious move.

It wasn't boring. I love pitching duels. The main disappointment other than the loss was that the game went by so fast compared to the 9 hours of driving we did to get there and back.

[Guest cooby]

Oh yeah, I can relate to that

I still think Andruw should pee in a cup...
