IGT 5/1/06, Mets (Zambrano) vs. Nationals (Ortiz)

[nymr83]

a single moves Chavez to 2nd...

[Willets Point]

Oldest player to draw a walk in the ninth inning of a tie game?

[Theoldmole]

How about that?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Lots of speed on the bases for the Mets after Reyes singles. A gapper could be two runs.

[nymr83]

LMAO, a gift-wrapped double play ball and he throws it into center field!

its good to be lucky.

[nymr83]

]A gapper could be two runs.

unless the ball goes over the fence the game will end instantly o the first runn

[Willets Point]

Gift win! I'll take it!

[seawolf17]

Mets win! Mets win! Mets win!

I love playing Washington!

[nymr83]

Can we give Majeski a point or two in the Schaeffer? lol

[Guest Edgy DC]

Forgive me, father. I have failed you.

Me angry me no pitch!

[nymr83]

The top of the 1st in Arizona:

]R Furcal flied out to center. K Lofton safe at third on error by right fielder S Green. J Drew grounded out to first, K Lofton scored. J Kent struck out looking.

now thats tough luck pitching

[Guest Hillbilly]

Nice 9th inning walk-off win. Even if it was lucky!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Luck favors the prepared mind

Yea - We Win!

[Guest GYC]

Can someone re-cap the bottom of the 9th? I was watching 24 and trying to follow game at the same time. It didn't work.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Nymr83 - "unless the ball goes over the fence the game will end instantly o the first runn"

Damn, I had a brain freeze in the heat of battle. Somehow I kept thinking that Washington had another at bat.

Glad the Mets won. We'll take the wins anyway we can get them.

[nymr83]

yeah, absent a serious injury to a Met player theres no bad wins.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Matsui whiffs swinging
Franco walks on 5 pitches
--Chavez runs for Franco
Reyes battles back from 0-2, singles to left, Chavez to 2nd
LoDuca hard shit back to Majewski, tailor made DP but his throw spilts the uprights of Vidro & Clayton and goes to CF, Chavez scores w/o a throw

You know, there are going to be a lot of people clamouring for seats on the bandwagon pretty soon. We can't have that sort of behavior.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'm pretty sure I won that race, plus I'm the only one who mispelled "shot" as "shit" and didn't bother to change it.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

You not only had the fastest reply, but you also had the most entertaining description of the bottom of the ninth.

[soupcan]

="GYC"]Can someone re-cap the bottom of the 9th? I was watching 24 and trying to follow game at the same time. It didn't work.

Guilty as charged.

Although the only at-bat I missed was LoDuca's.

Yeah, especially since I missed Friday night's entire game except the 9th... but I think that if you miss a Mets game to go to a low-A ball Mets game on a windy 55 degree night, you should be excused. (Fernando Martinez is awesome. He gave me a thumbs up when I called his name in pre-game warmups.)

[Frayed Knot]

The non double-switching for Wagner didn't suprise me so much as that he didn't go with Sanchez for a 2nd inning - especially since his one inning was pretty quick & clean and that you knew the end of the order would be coming up the following inning.

I guess Willie was going w/the tactic of trying to use relievers more often for shorter stints, keeping Duaner & Wags available for the future games (no days off this week) w/o having to sit them due to a long outing.
Bobby V used to work that way often also.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Can't argue with the reults neither. Not tonite.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Great reults.

This isn't about Friday. You're reframing the argument and trying to take advantage of my ADD here. You're not the fir.. Oh, look, something shiny....

Post the Suns info in the Suns thread... NOW!!!!
