IGT 6/6/06 - Mets (Pedro) at Dodgers (Lowe)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bottom of the order doesn't mean we don't have room for a rally song, Billy Preston-style.

I've got a song, it ain't got no melody
I'ma gonna sing it to my friends
I've got a song, it ain't got no melody
I' ma gonna sing it to my friends

Will it go round in circles?!
Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?!

Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?!

I've got a story, ain't got no moral
Let the bad guy win every once in a while

I've got a dance, I ain't got no steps, no
I'm gonna let the music move me around

Between high pitch counts (both pitchers), injury delays, and now an ump mask problem, this game isn't moving too fast.

I hear some umps are wearing black armbands for Gregg.

(note to self-dont post on the stroke of midnight)

[Zvon]

YGHHHHHHHHHH.
Pedro gives up another gopher.

That Kemp kid has hit afew since he came up tho, but still.
Mets down 4-2

[Elster88]

I'm sad. And tired. And hungry. I need some comfort food.

I agree, thought I wonder if it's just a control problem that he's having today.

[Elster88]

And Valentin's defense rears its ugly head.

DP ball to Wright, he throws to Valentin, Valentin just plain misses it.

[Elster88]

I can't take this. G'night.

[Frayed Knot]

This has gotten Ug Lee

[Guest Edgy DC]

Met infield looking porous this evening.

.....twice.

Pedros done for the night.

Well, this is one that he just didnt pitch so good.

Bell comes in and lets another run through.
7-2 L.A.

[Zvon]

Yep-uggleeeeeee.
Bases loaded wild pitch by Bell allows run # 8

[Gwreck]

Wow, that was absolutely terrible.

Jose, you best keep hitting because those errors were pretty costly.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'll lay off of rally songs for a moment.

[Centerfield]

It's inexcusable that Kemp got a fastball to hit with how bad he's looked on breaking pitches.

Heath Bell stinks.

[Frayed Knot]

And the comeback has begun
(single, walk, walk)

[Centerfield]

Bags juiced. No one out, Delgado coming up. If there is a comeback, it will start here.

[Gwreck]

Bases loaded with no outs certainly is intriguing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And that works. Tying run in the hole with nobody out.

[Zvon]

Yes--Mets load the bases for Delgado.
Broxton walks 2.
And you know what walks do........

[Gwreck]

First 3 guys reach base off the new reliever. I'm hoping for some Grady Little magic here...

[Centerfield]

There's 1.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Large pitch comin'

3-2.

[Gwreck]

Awww, Grady, I was just starting to like this Broxton guy.

[Centerfield]

I get the feeling those tack-on runs Heath Bell allowed are going to hurt.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Single to right. 8-3. Everybody moves up one. Tying run on deck.

No out. Long way to go. Save sit, though.

[Zvon]

YES!
Delgado single drives in a run!

8-3

edit:whoops

Jose Valentin is gonna get his chance to show those errors can be made up for. We shall see.

[Centerfield]

Grady shoulda stuck with that Broxton dude. That guy's got too quick a trigger.

[Gwreck]

This Saito guy seems pretty good too.

Tying run now at the plate.

3 walks this inning...and we know what walks do!
