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

[Centerfield]

Heilman strikes out Matheny.

Willie furious...demanding an answer as to why he wasn't walked.

[nymr83]

You know what i'd like to see if the Mets don't score? Bottom 8th- Jorge Julio pitching to Barry Bonds with runners on. You want to earn our trust back? here's a big chance.

[Frayed Knot]

Alou has long been one of the great "hands" hitters in MLB. He has a knack for adjusting his hands during a swing - either pulling them in so as to not get jammed or otherwise correcting in mid-hack.
He would have had an even better career if not for at least 2 devastating injuries which wrecked 2 full seasons and pieces of others.

[Centerfield]

Valentin up.

Because God forbid we should get our leadoff man aboard.

The DP was in order and who runs slower than Bonds?

Until he starts playing like the Bonds we've seen the last few years i wouldnt worry about him as much as it seems Willie is.

God decided to let Valentin get on, but not by any positive action on Valentin's part.

[Centerfield]

My mistake. Valentin reaches on a blistering ground ball that just ate up Neikro.

That was scored an error? Wow, tough call.

[Zvon]

errors kill for the other side too.
Valentin on 1st

i might feel differently in a tie game, but already losing i think yo pitch to the guy.

[nymr83]

Reyes fails to make contact, pretty disappointing for a guy with his speed who has a decent chance to reach on any ground ball.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Quick and dirty from the UMDB:In 55 games during Bobby Valentine's career, we intentionally walked Bonds 8 (eight) times.

[Centerfield]

LoDuca hits it well but it's tracked down. I'm thinking of not staying up to watch these games anymore.

The problem is tonight's such a disaster, you hafta stay up to see a better one tomorrow.

="Frayed Knot"]Alou has long been one of the great "hands" hitters in MLB. Is that because he pisses on them?

Carlo.....crap

Wait, I just realized Armando is their closer, is this a big game?

I don't think there's any reason to think Bonds' average is indicative of who is up there. Nobody's throwing to him. He's had 36 at-bats, for Pete's sake, and how many of them do you think he was pitched around? OE: and plenty of peeps are slower than Bonds.

Nymr83 Apr 25 2006 12:34 AM

Right now in SD, Mike Piazza is the tying run at the plate with 2 outs in the 9th inning of a 4-1 game...

Rats as big as dogs!

Nymr83 Apr 25 2006 12:43 AM

Another shit game by the Mets. That Braves series this weekend is taking on added importance if the Mets wat to stay on top of the East.

Zvon Apr 25 2006 12:43 AM

of course, not big enuff. Mets lose. Is it tru they have lost 17 out of 21 at SBC Park?

Nymr83 Apr 25 2006 12:44 AM

i don't know Zvon, in that same sentence the radio guys claimed that the Mets won a "big playoff game" here in 2000. The Mets, od course, did not play the Padres in the 2000 playoffs.

Willets Point Apr 25 2006 12:45 AM

They did play the Giants in 2000.

Nymr83 Apr 25 2006 12:47 AM

For some reason I keep thinking we are in San Diego, probably because we just came from there and i had their game with the D-backs up on GameDay all night.

Centerfield Apr 25 2006 12:47 AM

Every year, at some point, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, the Mets remind me not to get my hopes too high.

Zvon Apr 25 2006 12:50 AM
