IGT 5/5/06 - Atlanta @ Mets (Trachsel/Davies redux)

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Bluh.

[TransMonk]

Crap! How can you not score after a leadoff Triple!?!?!

Boggles the mind.

[Guest GYC]

Mets don't score with a runner on 3rd and the world keeps spinning...

[MFS62]

See what I meant earlier in this thread about the Braves wanting Floyd up in such a situation?

Later

[TransMonk]

12 Team LOB tonight through 8.

[TransMonk]

Wright makes a great play snagging a hit from Renteria!

Glove is helping us out tonight.

On edit: Carlos allows a catchable ball to fall in off Larry's bat.

...but Aaron is awesome. Here we go, bottom 9th. Walk-off wins are fun. Rally time!

[TransMonk]

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

X-Man leads off the 9th with a walk.

KazMat at bat.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A sac bunt moves Nady to 2nd.

Chris Woodward is up as a pinch-hitter.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Mets 9th:

Nady walks.
Matsui sacrifices, Nady to 2nd
Woodie to pinch hit.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Unusual pitching change as James leaves with a 1-1 count.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Crap - Wooodward strikes out for the second out of the inning.

They're walking Reyes to get to LoDuca. No 6-6 opportunity for him tonight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

So tense. So thrilling.

[Guest GYC]

Free Ramon Castro!

[Guest GYC]

Atlanta has 1 reliever and 1 hitter remaining. Don't blow this.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Fucking mouthbreathing Moylan freak.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Braves get out of the ninth.

Wasn't Peter Moylan the company clerk at the 4077th?

I don't think there was a problem using Woody there. Castro is going to start tomorrow probably.

Not Woodward, Lo Duca. Lo Duca is seriously beginning to piss me off.

OE: Day-after-night is a good point against Castro over Lo Duca anyway.

[Gwreck]

Sandman uses 7 pitches, enabling him to go another inning, no problem.

But let's make that unnecessary, Carlos, hmmkay?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Didn't happen.

Moylan is a lot like Heilman. Silmilar arm angle. Bottom drops out of the inside change the same way.

[Guest GYC]

Forgot about Betemit, now the Braves have only Pratt off the bench and Reitsma out of the bullpen.

[TransMonk]

Peter Moylan baffles our 3-4-5 hitters in his second full ML inning of work.



I'll be truly pissed if we lose this game.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wilson F. Betimit?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Crap - 7-6 Braves on the homer.

[TransMonk]

Dammit!!!

Wags is not as advertised.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Technically, that homer was hit before Ms. Edgy came into the room, because of the delay in the MLB.tv broadcast. So she didn't cause that.

Technically.

[Guest GYC]

Wagner sucks.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thanks for that.

Giles isn't supposed to get a lead like that against a lefty.
