2-1
2-2 swinging, floyd steals 2nd...
strikeout swinging.

damn.

nice job by floyd, he said he'd be running on Piazza before the series started.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nuts.

Giles, Piazza and Gonzalez in the home 9th.

[Gwreck]

This'll be Heilman's third consecutive day pitching. Guess he's good for 1, maybe 2 innings.

[nymr83]

Heilman is in to face the heart of the order.

[Theoldmole]

Being Braden Looper will do that to a fellow.

he'll only pitch 1, he's due to bat 2nd and wasnt double-switched (you could have brouht woodward into the 9 spot and heilman in matsui's spot who made the last out)

[nymr83]

2 quick outs for Heilman, too bad he cant pitch another inning...

[Gwreck]

I could see the logic in keeping Hernandez in for defense, but I'm surprised by the lack of double-switching.

Maybe Endy can get on and Heilman bunts.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Free baseball for all!

[nymr83]

Strrrrrrrrrike threee!!

With Oliver and Sanchez already used I would have to keep heilman in to bat and pitch a 2nd inning, i can only pray Chavez is on so that Heilman can try and bunt him over.

[Gwreck]

Mets 0-1 so far this year with bonus baseball.

Hernandez?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The way these two teams are hitting, we could be in for a long night.

ditto.
If this goes a while we could have gotten 2 out of heilman.

why does "bonus baseball" seem alot like "spring forward" the next morning when the mets play 10 o'clock games...

[nymr83]

Heilman is gone, the Mets may come to regret this.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Jeezis. Could these guys put up a fight?

[nymr83]

1-2-3.
Wagner coming in?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

A: No, they can't.

[Guest Hillbilly]

I think we get the Sandman for 2 innings next.

[Guest Hillbilly]

As long as we don't need anybody after that

which gives us only 1 more inning to win it before we need to pitch guys we dont want to pitch

[Guest Hillbilly]

I'm running out of gas. Let's win this game!

[Zvon]

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Not for nothin, but if we can only score 1 run off the Padres in 11 innings with Hoffman already out of the game we deserve whatever fate the bullpen rotation deals us.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nice strong inning for Billy. Perhaps his best-looking inning of the year.

[nymr83]

We deserve a W for bannister's magic act.
We deserve a W because SD fans are eating a late dinner while we are staying up past our bedtimes to stick this one out.

Wagner sets them down in order, WE NEED A RUN!

And the only one I would have been ok with beatin me was Piazza.

So we should win this game.
