IGT 5-14-06 Sunday Against The Brewers Coming Down

[Zvon]

there's no doubt that Wrights a good fielder.

[Elster88]

Eddie C, no matter what you think of him, does have a soothing voice. I wonder if he narrates any books on tape.

My first post as Jesse. That's a great avatar. Well done, admins.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Elster88 - "I think the fact that they DO seem so concentrated in the ninth could be a point in favor of Wright being a good fielder. Maybe he only makes errors in "big" spots, so he actually is an excellent fielder."

I find that remark particularly funny, considering you currently carry the designation of Armando Benitez.

Nice job of pitching out of the inning by Bradford. Let's get some runs and end this thing.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I love Mr. Wright, but I don't think that he's a naturally gifted fielder.

[nymr83]

And I think their being concentrated in the 9th is why we remember them and comment on them the next time Wright makes an error.
Reyes probably has 3 or 4 this year and i can't remember a single one of them, but i have 3 of wright's stuck in my head because of when they came. if reyes made an error tommorow in the 9th i don't think anyone who start calling him error-prone or question his fielding.

[Elster88]

Leave Floyd on the bench. Valentin with his fourth hit.

(SC = 99.99)

[Zvon]

lead off single---nice.
thats 6 for last 7.

[nymr83]

Valentin decided to have a hot week and save his undeserved roster spot for another month or two

[The Big O]

Nady got removed in the double-switch, Floyd batting 9th, Valentin shifts to right. And now he's 4-for-5 on the day.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Lead off single by Valentin. Come on Cliff. This would be a great time for one of your big Bang-Pow jobs to right field.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Valentin:

[Zvon]

I have seen too many of Floyds bats breaking the last few weeks.
He needs new wood.

Ks for the 1st out.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Then again, apparently not.

[Elster88]

Matsui got his hit for today. Pull him.

[Guest Edgy DC]

All whipping boys bringing the lumber.

Haven't seen Matsui hitting righty for a bit.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn! Why can't more of the Mets hit like Valentin.

[Zvon]

OUCH.
Beltran cheats himself with a check swing strikeout.


I get your point Nymr83, that they have been errors in the 9th inning of close games.

Maybe its the "my worst fear" syndrome, which would be Wrights worst fear, to make an error in that situation.

Wright makes the play there for the 1st out of the 10th.

[metirish]

Valentin is just amazing...

[Zvon]

ohhh..what a play by Valentin...
thats big.

Throws out Weeks tryin for 2.
awsum.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How much Schaefer can Valentin drink?

[metirish]

Damn game over just like that, Hall with a home run.

[Zvon]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww dooky.

[Elster88]

shit

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

DAMN!!!! DAMN!!!! DAMN!!!!

[Guest GYC]

Mets: 13
Brewers: 3



Guess.

[The Big O]

Oh ... yarrrrh

[Zvon]

Hall with a walk off.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Yuk!

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Ya think this goes under "WWSB out-manages himself"? You lose in 10 with your best reliever out of the game?

[Guest Hillbilly]

No. Yet, Wags should have finished the 9th. This one is on leaving 13 men on base.
