Time the Mets won a Pedro game, this one could be a classic....

GO METS

[Guest Edgy DC]

Throw beat the runner, but Beltran might have gotten his arm in there.

[Guest Hillbilly]

butterfingers

[Guest Edgy DC]

Lastings, your Dad is on the phone..

[Guest Hillbilly]

Pedro gets out of it with help by a gold glove play by Valentin - who is really growing on me.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro:

1) Picks up Lo Duca's mask for him after he catches the pop to end the first.
2) Rather than head straight for the dugout after the second, first goes out to congratulate Valentin with a manhug.
3) When he gets to the dugout, waits for Lastings Milledge and gives him an encouraging butt patting.

[Zvon]

Valentins great play bails out Milledge.
How do you miss an easy fly like that?

I read somewhere this week that Beltran has the best stealing % in MLB history. Something like 88%.
I have to wonder what it was before he came to NY.


Delgado gets robbed.
OUCH.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think I've seen enough of Eric Byrnes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro has them flailing.

Career vs Mets, through 2 AB today:

8-27 (.296), 4 HR (all solo HR), 5 RBI. Not great, but not bad for a small sample size. Obviously he's kicked our ass this series.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Good interview with Guy Conti. Too bad they missed the fact that Pedro was making a mockery of all things Diamondback.

[seawolf17]

Who is this Jose Valentin, and what did he do with the Jose Valentin who started the season?

SPLIT	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	BB	HBP	SO	SB	CS	AVG	OBP	SLG	OPS

[nymr83]

whatever he did with the old valentin i hope its permanent.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Milledge catching two hard liners and using both hands.

Good thing too.

Mets get a lead off single but cant capitalize.


NICE catch by Cliffy.

[Zvon]

What a throw by the rook!

[Zvon]

What a pitching dual we have here, as advertised.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Diamondbacks blink first, pinch-hitting for Webb with DeVanon.

I say boo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I mean, yay, as a Met fan, but boo as a ball fan.

Pedro likely comes out for a pinch hitter next inning.

[Zvon]

They pinch hit for Webb in the 8th--good.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I said I've seen enough of Byrnes.

Phils lost. Braves up 7-1 over Los Angeles.

Pe-freakin'-dro strikes Byrnes out. Wow.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, and it's rally time.

Mother told me
Yes, she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me
"Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other
Day I heard
A soldier falling off
Some Indonesian junk that's going round

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender!
Surrender!
But don't give yourself away!

Father says
Your mother's right
She's really up on things"
"Before we married
Mommy served in
The WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard
The WACS recruited
Old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender!
Surrender!
But don't give yourself away!

Whatever happened
To all this season's
Losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I
Got to thinking
Where'd they disappear?
When I woke up
Mom and Dad are
Rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers
Rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender!
Surrender!
But don't give yourself away!

Surrender!
Surrender!
But don't give yourself away!

[Zvon]

Byrnes struck out swinging for Pedros' 8th K.

Yea, they probly pull Martinez for a PH'r, and its another no decision

Get it started rook.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pitcher is going to his belt suspiciously.

[Zvon]

OK, and thank you Mr Franco.
PH single.

Keep it goin Jose.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Guys, I said to rally.

C'mon!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Dammit, Byrnes, I get it, Ok? You rock. I got the message.

[Zvon]

="Edgy DC"]Pitcher is going to his belt suspiciously.

Id detain, search & Xray him.
He might just be tryin to keep his pants up but I dont trust these snakes in the grass.


Wags is coming in.

[Willets Point]

Wagner's in for a non-save situation. Expect a 5-run rally.
