Is Willie mad at Diaz or something?

[Willets Point]

Why the hell does the audio on MLB.TV sound like an old filmstrip???

[TransMonk]

Leadoff single by Reyes squandered in the first.

Kaz pops up, Beltran Ks, Delgado flies out.

[Theoldmole]

Larry down, Andruw to go

[Zvon]

ewwwwwww.
Chavez looked horrendous there.

I'm still trying to figure out (as mentioned above) what exactly was wrong with Diaz. It's not exactly like Chavez hadn't gotten chances to play.

Well, he is a lefty bat and he has been giving a faint illusion of hitting lately.
But Id rather see Diaz in there today myself.
Hell with that righty/lefty crap.


Braves score first with 3 hits in a row off Trax.

[duan]

Tracshel's getting squeezed badly by this ump.

[Zvon]

and the hitless Giles drives in 2...dagnabbitt.

dayyyyym.your right about that.
That was a nice curve ball strike to renteria-called a ball and he ends up walking.

Especially considering that Victor may be headed back to Norfolk when Maine gets activated to take Bannister's spot in the rotation. Strange.

[Elster88]

Heck of a play by LaRoche.

[Zvon]

ow.
What a catch to rob Matsui.

[Zvon]

[Elster88]

Beltran.

[Gwreck]

Beltran gets 2 back.

[nymr83]

[duan]

fantastic blast by Beltran.

[nymr83]

Wright beaned hard, i want to see a guy named Jones in the laying dirt next time up.

[Elster88]

If that had happened at Shea, the entire stadium, including the security guards, would have charged the mound.

(No, I don't think it was purposeful.)

[Zvon]

DAMN!

Did you guys flinch like I did?

That was scary.

Are you kidding?

[Zvon]

BIG hit by Floyd.

Delgado was joggin in from third and luckily the throw is waaaaay off. Mets tie it

[metsmarathon]

i see no reason to get into a beanball war... was that even a fastball, or was it just a breaking ball that missed badly?

edit: never mind. 90 mph fastball. still, i dont think he was going for head there...

[Elster88]

Rough inning for Davies. The two outs so far were Trachsel and a shot by Matsui.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Remembered there was a game on just in time to see Floyd tie it up.

It's nice to miss the part where Trachs allows 3 runs.

yes

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Apparently Trachsel is trying to fill me in on what I missed.

4-3 Atlanta

[nymr83]

fuckshit. why is the infield in in the 3rd inning?? not matsui's fault that the coaching staff positioned him poorly.

furcal hits one off delgado's glove, no E?

2 on now this aint good.
