IGT 4/30: Mets go for sweep against Atl in House of Horrors

[Zvon]

That Betemits a big dude for a shortstop.

Beltran with a nice snag of that fly.

I predict Castros gonna be big if the Mets are gonna come back.

And he leads off-good.

Keith thinks the ump has been squeezing both pitchers.
They have noted the small zone but havent voiced it as a one sided thing.

[nymr83]

Keith has been bashing the strike zone all day.

WHO DARES QUESTION WILLIE'S LINEUP CHOICES?
KABOOM! (first in 2 years?)

[Zvon]

Chavez--wow.
That was no illusion.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wile E. Randolph, Genius.

[nymr83]

Jose "pleae don't cut me" Valentin singles for the pitcher.

Chavez goes kaboom for the first time since July 2004.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Plenty of time left.

^^Excellent home-made kaboom graphique.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Valentin hitting, the stars are aligning.

[Zvon]

Hope Matsui was watchin that.
Thats what ya do Kaz, dont just stop.

[nymr83]

Valentin with a takeout slide 20 feet from the bag, thats the way to play baseball!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Valentin executes the baserunning play that ended the Mientkiewicz era.

[Zvon]

OUCHHHHHHHHHHHH
Reyes accounts for all 3 times the Mets have been thrown out this year so far.

[nymr83]

Reyes CS, i'm ok with trying it with 2 outs and a guy who is unlikely to tie it with one swing at the plate.
i'd have been very pissed if he ended an inning like that with Beltran, Delagado, or Wright up.

Disappointing, but live by the steal, die by the steal. Braves bullpen is suspect, we can get those runs back.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Show me, Julio. Show.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Braves announcers are questioning the home-plate umps calls against the Met pitchers now.

[nymr83]

so much for holding down the fort, its 8-4 Atlanta on a monster blast off a MEATBALL.

[Willets Point]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Franceour got all of that one. It got out in a hurry. You could tell it was gone just by the crack of the bat.

[Zvon]

Francouer launches one off Julio.
2 run homer makes it 8-4

[Guest OlerudOwned]

There's the Jorge Julio we all knew and loved.

[metsmarathon]

one bad pitch that inning by julio. three strikeouts. not quite the old julio we all "know and love"

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I'm not sure how much he was loved, but that's the Jorge Julio we all dread.

[nymr83]

lets get a couple back, maybe even make Julio an undeserving winner?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I hat Jorge Julio.

[Zvon]

Beltrans swingin at shit.

[Zvon]

I guess its "the WB11" now.
It only says it all over the screen.

Nice catch by Chipper ends the inning.
