IGT 5/6/06 - Atlanta @ Mets (Zambrano/Hudson)

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Damn, that was a fly out.
Stupid wind.

[TransMonk]

Crap...long ball by LaRoche.

3-2 Bravos.

[nymr83]

Andruw left the game...

[TransMonk]

Stomach flu?

[nymr83]

...haha thats a ball Andruw might have gotten to! base hit!

[Theoldmole]

And Valentin follows - two men on.

[TransMonk]

Valentin pinch hitting instead of pinch outing.

First and second, one out for the top of the order in the 7th.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

RBI single for Reyes!
Tied up. Valentin to 3rd, Reyes to 2nd.

Woo!

[Guest Edgy DC]

That error shold be on Jones and not Langerhans.

[TransMonk]

Gameday has it as E5 on Chipper.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Mets take the lead, a 2 run double for Kaz!
5-3 and still threatening.

[Theoldmole]

Mets. I love you. One guy after another picks them up, Yay Kaz! And now walking the bases loaded to pitch to Delgado? A smart move? Perhaps not.

[Frayed Knot]

That's all for Hudson as KazMat sends him up the river

[duan]

it should probably go elsewhere, but if they DON'T start thinking about stretching Heillman out to go as a starter when they might be going to the 8th/9th starting pitcher on our depth chart it's just pig headedness.

We might get lucky and Lima etc might throw a decent start or two but I just don't get why we can't bring up the likes of Bell and put Heillman back in the rotation.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I wish Matsui was looking to pull like that more. I thik he's mentally programmed himself too much to look to be a salp-and-run table setter. He even took the previous pitch at 3-1 in the same spot.

Just hit baby.

I disagree, Heilman is far more valuable as a reliever, no matter who the starting pitching is.

Who cares if we are going to the 8th or 9th starter on the DC if we are leading the NL in victories and ERA.

Don't fix it until it's broke.

[Frayed Knot]

C'mon Cliffy, smack this crococile hunter around.

[nymr83]

woohoo, walk in a run!

[Guest KC]

My bang-pow finger has been itchin' - but Floyd walks with the bases jammed.

[TransMonk]

We owed Moylan a run from last night anyways.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Betemit. Payback.

Big leagues. Hang onto the bat.

[TransMonk]

Nice double switch, Willie.

[Frayed Knot]

Bradford was responsible for several last night but he was as unlucky as he was shakey; got beat by some bleeders and dunks.
I like going back to him here and maybe finishing out the game if he gets thru inning 8 unscathed.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Keith says "Bartolome Fortunato" sounds "like a Portuguese navigator."

He's been reviewing the "Gimme a Met" thread.

[TransMonk]

I always think Bib Fortuna.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We may need Julio after all.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Feliciano time.

[Frayed Knot]

Re Chadford: Oh well!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Nice work by Felicano, Ks Larry.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm filled with felicity.
