IGT 06/07/06 Mets vs. LA (rubbah game)

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Sure Tom - take the mound with a 4-0 lead and immediately cough up a homer.

[Elster88]

You know...with Gagne back...the Dodgers are pretty darn good team. I used to hate them in the days of Mike Scioscia.

[Elster88]

Milledge, Beltran, Chavez. Too bad we're not playing at a field like the Polo Grounds. That is one speedy motherjumping outfield.

[Elster88]

Excellent turn by Valentin.

Edit: On replay, it wasn't a hard one at all, the runner to second never got close.

[Guest GYC]

If Perez gets DFA'd after the game, he'd deserve it.

[Gwreck]

Wow, looks like we rediscovered the offense with the B-team here. Too bad f-ing MLB.com doesn't have the audio working, it'd sure be nice to actually hear this game.

[Elster88]

They turned two on right, but that was a lazy-ass throw to start it. David almost beat it.

[Guest GYC]

Son of a bitch.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Fuckshit! Furball ties the game with his second homer of the game!

[HahnSolo]

OK, someone check Furcal's bat...or his urine sample.

[Gwreck]

As gameday audio returns, on WFAN Tom and Eddie C. have Robin Ventura, I think (?) in the booth with them. Didn't hear him introduced but it sounds like him.

OE: Yes, it's Ventura. Talking about his ankle transplant.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, I excused myself with a 4-1 lead. What do you folks have to say for yourselves?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Why the heck did you leave? See what you did?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thought they were in good hands.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't know how he turned on that one.

[nymr83]

Cruz homers... Glavine has got nothing tonight, its bullpen time.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Holy Hell Tom - STOP giving up gopher balls!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mental note: give Glavine his full rest.

Gagne won't pitch for a few days

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Los Angeles Dodgers closer Eric Gagne will be shut down for a few days because of stiffness in his surgically repaired pitching elbow.

The 30-year-old right-hander earned his first save in nearly a year Tuesday night by striking out two in a perfect ninth inning in an 8-5 victory over the New York Mets, but said afterward he wasn't 100 percent.

And his stuff looked sick last night. Glad if this is still close in the 9th we dont have to see him.


When I heard the mets had 5 runs in the first two innings I figured that would be all Glavine would need.
Baseball,---this is a wacky game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Heck yeah I'm surprised to see Glavine hit here.

Not that he can't hit, but...

[Elster88]

LaSorda was up in the booth. I didn't know that he wouldn't let Gibson get in the on-deck circle, because with a decoy in the on-deck circle he figured the A's would pitch around Mike Davis who was up before him.

'Course, that great baseball moment never should have happened.

Reyes out, Floyd out.

the bench tonight is 3 guys....might as well let glavine hit this early

[Elster88]

As usual, "Let's Go Mets" chants are audible.

[Elster88]

OoTS:

Atlanta's a loser.

Philadelphia's a winner.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Glavine out of gas with 93 pitches.

[Zvon]

Thats all for Glavine after walking Cruz.

His ERA at game start was 2.59.
He'll leave the mound with an ERA of 3.06.

I do hope we get him this win.

[Elster88]

I woulda thunk that seven Met runs in a Glavine start = rest day for the bullpen.

Yeah, but not the end of the world. Wagner, Heilman and Sanchez are all fairly rested, all having had the last 2 days off.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Vin Scully waxing race humor.
