IGT 04/26, Mets at Giants

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Castro gets the double with two out. Can Endy drive in the tying run?

[Guest Rotblatt]

Up to BB now as Chavez walks.

At the very least I'd like to see the catching duties slide toward a 60/40 split from the 80/20 or so it seems to be now.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Bannister grounds out to first, dropping the batting average of Mets pitchers all the way down to .231.

[Elster88]

How about that Castro?

[Guest Rotblatt]

Infield single for Feliz, Matheny double to left.

This might be the day when Bannister finally turns into a pumpkin.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Nice diving stop by Reyes, but then he juggles the ball. Runner safe at first.

Extra goofy in that (a) Metman hasn't sported Franco for a while, I think, and, ( Yancy first showed up in part to upbraid Metman for referencing the portrait featured in that avatar at UMDB.

Goofier still: As KC and I were posting identical thoughts about Yancy/SI Metman, Yancy and Willets were making identical points about satire in the Caple thread. Also at 2:34 p.m.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Sac fly for Vizquel, then a fly out by Vizcaino.

2-0 Giants

Bannister holds off pumpkin time, but he continues to be a marvel of inefficiency--42 pitches through 2.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Delgado goes -

[TransMonk]

I love Carlos!

Not that one...the other one.

Whadda guy!

[Gwreck]

Carlos gets one back.


Edit: apparently someone's upset about the hotlinking of previously displayed image.>

[Frayed Knot]

Carlos feeds the fishies with a solo shot!

[Guest abogdan]

DELGADO!

[Gwreck]

ScarletKnight -- is that Manny Ramirez in that kaboom picture? Hidden message perhaps?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Why is Manny Ramirez hitting that homer?

[Guest cooby]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAH!

[nymr83]

I turned on the radio just in time for the homer, whats the score? didnt this game start at 4:00? how is delgado batting again already?

3:35 start. It's 2-1 Giants.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Cliff flies out to deep center.

How much is Cliff missing by on these?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

That homer by Delgado could have used a Ka-Splash!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Yeah, these webtracker thingies make it sound like every flay ball pins an outfielder against the wall.

According to it, all 3 outs were "deep" flies, I think.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Cliff's was short of the warning track, but it was in the deeper part of the outfield.

[Centerfield]

Bannister not looking so sharp today.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Thanks, Yance!

Bannister gives up consecutive singles to Winn & Alou, and Finley follows with a sac fly.

Niekro grounds out to third, Alou to second.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Did I hear Gary Cohen say that the Mets had signed Michael Tucker?

[Guest Rotblatt]

Yeah, Bannister's high-wire act is kinda old at this point.

Nady flies out "to deep right center."

[Guest Rotblatt]

Yes, to a minor league contract, according to Rotoworld.

[Gwreck]

Two on with one out. Castro raising that average to .471.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Castro singles, then wow, Chavez doubles to center.

Runners at second and third with one out for our intrepid starter.
