IGT 5/30/06 - Mets v. Diamondbacks, Milledge called up!

[Guest Hillbilly]

Nice at bat by Soler. He seems to be able to handle the bat.

[Zvon]

We left a guy on 3rd base in the first, a guy on 3rd base in the second, a guy on 3rd base in the third, and a guy on 2nd base in the fourth. And the last was a lead off double.

Not good.

[Zvon]

UGH.

Burns burns us again.

Gary Cohen tells us:

May 6, 1983: Darryl Strawberry, age 21 years, 55 days, makes his big league debut.

Today, Lastings Milledge is 21 years and 55 days old.

[Guest Hillbilly]

I think Eric Byrnes should be made to feel quite uncomfortable with a high and tight fastball during his next AB.

I like that lil factoid

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Eric Byrnes sure likes hitting at Shea

[Gwreck]

Noooooooooooooo. This is not good.

[Zvon]

UGH.UGH.UGH.

So does Conner Jackson.
A freakin 3 run blast.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Yuk 7-1. Soler has lost it.

[Zvon]

I guess Willie will keep Soler out there until he's totally out of confidence.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Or trying to build it up. I'm not quite sure what he's doing??

/head explodes

[Guest Hillbilly]

What's with the booing meatheads? God that's really getting out of hand at Shea.

Well, he got out of it with no further damage.

[Gwreck]

5 IP, 7 ER, 8 H, 1 K, 3 BB, 2 WP is a pretty ugly line.

Really - its times like this you should feel for your new young pitcher.
Assholes.

[Zvon]

It dont help that the Mets just dont seem on the ball tonight.




Willie brings in Oliver to start this inning.

[Willets Point]

Breakin'!

[Guest Hillbilly]

Oliver gets that pain in the ass Byrnes out.

[Zvon]

Nice inning by Oliver.

Okay--we can come back.
But we gotta start it now.


Load those bases for Milledge!

[Zvon]

We leave another lead off double at second.

Have i said UGH recently?

[Gwreck]

2 leadoff doubles -- neither run scores.
2 more runners at 2nd with 1 out (Double, Reyes single/steal) and they don't score either.

Against Brandon Webb...ok, whatever.
Against Miguel Batista? Not cool.

[Zvon]

........., and now Im Mike Stanton.
This has just been a horrible night.

[Zvon]

HEY!--now Im Josias Manzanillo.
That went quick.
Things are lookin up already

[Guest Hillbilly]

Ok make some noise now or early night for me.

[Zvon]

Well, it would be nice if Mr Milledge gave us a lil something to be happy about......anything.
A walk even.

From his 1st major league at bat:

[seawolf17]

That's some enormous bling around his neck.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wilkommen to der show, kind.

[Zvon]

a stand up double!
