Chavez in for Beltran, lets go Mets, I want another 10+ pages on the IGT tonight boys! The Mets won't break it open unless YOU post!

[metirish]

Yeah get online now, it'll be hard to top last nights game but any win will do, it will be interesting to see how Bannister is tonight...

[nymr83]

I was at his last start and he was pulling rabbits out of his hat for 5 innings, if he allows that many baserunners tonight he won't be so lucky again.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'll try and be around. LGM, YGB, bbb, yyy

[metirish]

Like us Keith is very interested to see what Bannister has tonight....

[TransMonk]

Should be a telling start for Bannister. No more cold weather excuses. If he throws strikes he should be fine.

Wind blowing out to right...I'd like to see the offense keep their late inning surge from last night going.

[Centerfield]

Any update on Beltran?

[TransMonk]

Doctors are looking at the MRI as we post. Gary says they should have an uodate during the game.

[metirish]

On the pre-game Chris Cotter said Beltran was day to day, meaning they no squat till the doctors phone Gary and Keith in the booth.

[nymr83]

LoDuca lets another baserunner steal 2nd.

[metirish]

Bannister looking a bit wild early doors....

[nymr83]

bases loaded, Bannister should be in his element now.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Unbelieveable.

[nymr83]

Houdini back in action, he strikes Greene out to leave them loaded.

[metirish]

OK Brian we get it, you like the pressure, that last pitch was a bueaty..

[TransMonk]

Brian makes my stomach hurt.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Bannister sure makes things exciting.

I could use a laugher after last night. Hopefully, the offense can take some of the angst out of watching Bannister by scoring early and often..

[metirish]

Ok that out pitch on the replay shows Bannister got away with one right down the middle.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Come on Kaz. Keep the rally going.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Update from the Bronx: H. Matsui punched out with bags juiced andthe MFYs lose again.

[nymr83]

chavez DP to end the rally

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Chavez grounds into an inning ending double play. I hope Beltran can get back fairly soon.

]Update from the Bronx: H. Matsui punched out with bags juiced andthe MFYs lose again.

Poor guys, Gay-Rod has been very hard on himself lately, taking the blame for the MFYs so so start, he's such a leader, time Torre sat Matsui for a game.

MATSUI SUCKS!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

That was a promising start to an inning that you could see wasn't likely to lead to much. Once Matsui flied out, it was up to Chavez and Bannister to drive in the the runs. I figured the odds were against that happening. I just wish we could have at least cleared the pitchers spot, but the GIDP killed that.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Before Matsui whiffed w/ the bases loaded, Gayrod whiffed with 2 on.

It's a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

If only Captain Intangibles had also struck out with runners in scoring position, we might have had an alternate definition of Triple Happiness.

[metirish]

trivia from SNY ..

what two players played in more than 300 games for both the Mets and Padres?.....Gary and Keith are stumped.

[metirish]

Bannister gets out of another jam, where is Val, we need a nick name for Brian.

So am I.

McReynolds is one.

Randy Jones? Nah...
