IGT 04/26, Mets at Giants

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

And Bannister doubles to tie the score!

[nymr83]

and BRIAN BANNISTER ties it up!

[Gwreck]

And Bannister comes through. Nice.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Bannister may get Schaefer for his bat if not for his arm.

[Centerfield]

Bannister looking sharp today.

[Willets Point]

Bannister wants to get some Schaeffer by any means necessary.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Holy shit.

Go Brian Bannister go!

Tied at 3 with the go-ahead run at second!

[Willets Point]

Oh crap, now I'm echoing Yancy.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Rickey Henderson in the stands watching.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Reyes grounds to third for the second out.

Let's see if Matsui can put the Mets ahead.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Bannister. He's the Mannister.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Pops back to the catcher.

Matsui, that is.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Well, shoot.

Morris up to 78 pitches already.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Bannister gets the lead-off man out for the second time today.

[Willets Point]

Well that looked like a good inning for Bannister in gamecast.

[Guest Rotblatt]

. . . and retires 'em 1-2-3 for the first time.

63 pitches through 4.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

1-2-3 Good Lovin.

[Gwreck]

First 1-2-3 inning for Bannister since his first start of the year, I think.

Edit: Actually, it was the second start.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I'm really enjoying the Metdom of Carlos Delgado.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

(Leadoff double in the 5th)

[Guest Rotblatt]

Delgado's HR in his last at bat was his first hit against Morris.

[Guest Rotblatt]

. . . and so he goes from 0-6 to 2-8.

It's a day of firsts for the Mets.

[Centerfield]

Wright fails to advance the runner. Argh.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Wright's been struggling lately.

I'd like to see him take a day off, but according to one of the rags this morning, one of Wright's heros is Ripken and he doesn't want to take a day off. Ever.

Someone reading between the lines might think that Wright was also calling Beltran a pussy in that interview.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Sounds like Wright could really use a groin massage, but who among us couldn't.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Nady flies out "to deep left."

We're just missing an awful lot today.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Johnny Dickshot wrote: Sounds like Wright could really use a groin massage, but who among us couldn't.

If Wright could just get it going, he might be able to get a little somethin' somethin' from the Kaboom! girl.

[Willets Point]

If only the Mets had a massage therapist in the dugout.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Papaya Head is retired for the first time today to end the threat.

Morris is likely done after 5, as he's up to 97 pitches.

[Centerfield]

Jesus Bannister. Throw a strike.
