IGT 4/24/06, Mets v. Giants (Glavine/Cain)

[Guest abogdan]

The Mets might want to think about getting a hit sometime during this game.

[nymr83]

another lack of offense night for the Mets which has been all too common since the Milwaulkee series.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Stop what? A PERFECT GAME?

Really, any baserunner would be a start, what with this perfect game Cain has going here.

[DocTee]

SF announcer Duane Kuiper said Keith Hernandez stopped into their booth between innings-- I thought it was a segue into his misogynistic comments-- but it was only to ask "Who the heck is Matt Cain?"

[TransMonk]

This pitcher isn't exactly Cy Young either, this guy has been hit pretty well in his previous 3 starts.

Shame on the Mets for making him look so good.

[Guest cooby]

Yeah, he's pitching a perfect game

Well, the Mets do have a tendency to do that.

yep-lets jinx him.

Hes pitching a PERFECTO!


That means no Mets reach 1st base, right?
A perfect game.......
How bout that?

[Guest abogdan]

Matsui breaks it up with a single. Good job folks.

[Gwreck]

He had some decent minor league numbers last year, and was 2-1 with a 2.33 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 7 starts for the Giants last year. He's projected as a future #1 starter. But still...

[Zvon]

thank you Kaz

[Guest Edgy DC]

Vizquel owed Cain a dive there.

[nymr83]

Matsui on 2nd with nobody out thanks to an error, it is CRUCIAL that we get him home here, at the very least.

[Guest cooby]

Ah, still a NO HITTER then?

[nymr83]

matsui to 3rd on a groundball.
Help yourself out, Tom.

no, he reached on a single and went to 2nd on a throwing error on a pickoff attempt.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

BV woulda squeezed here.

According to Willie Randolph via Tom McCarthy, he's not likely to start any game this series but is available for pinch-hitting.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm not about Glavine batting here.

[Guest cooby]

Good. I hate staying up late when the Mets get no hitted.

yea, i think he would hv

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Has WWSB pulled a squeeze yet?

Bobby was all about trying the high-risk stuff in April.

[nymr83]

On the radio Rose just said "jose reyes' average is down to [whatever it is] but more importantly his OBP is .271" Have anouncers finally seen the light?

Reyes gets the RBI in!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Way to scratch one out, team.

Not for nothin but LoDuca needs out of a slump worse than Reyes or Wright.

[Zvon]

Nice, reyes makes up for swingin at that shitty pitch with an RBI infield single.

[Gwreck]

Eh, not entirely sure about that. Maybe with the throwing-out of runners. LoDuca still has a .365 OBP.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Only his second hit on this whole trip (17 PAs), but a big one.

[Guest abogdan]

LoDuca knocks in Reyes. 3-2 and Delgado is up.

[Gwreck]

I bet Carlos could hit McCovey Cove.
