IGT 62: 6/11/06 - D'backs - Pedro at Ortiz - Sweep the Leg

[Guest Edgy DC]

And the Chase Field DJ cues up "Rock 'n' Roll, Part I" because they pull within 13-1.

Please tell me they don't play that at Shea anymore.

He should be. Wearing #32.

Would be nice to see Valentin in for Wright, Marrero in for Beltran and Franco in for Delgado.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Marrero in for Beltran.

Make Met history, Eli.

[seawolf17]

Well, jeez. Matsui could have done that.

[Zvon]

There's Marrero- Ks in his 1st AB as a Met.

I don't think I've ever heard Part I.

He could strike out in every at-bat as a Met and not get a tenth of the boos that Matsui heard.

Pedros line:

[The Big O]

BBTN leads off with in-progress Mets game (okay, maybe it's a Grimsley discussion). Krukker goes out of his way to say he likes how the Mets get contributions from role players (Endy). And how Castro can block the plate and handle the short hop "like most guys can't". And how this is all an example of how "good teams put the division away". Harold gives Ravvy the bizness, it seems, for being a big DW fan.

Good times earnin' praise from the clown brigade. Not sure if that's a desirable goal, but it's nice to see.

[Zvon]

Oliver bats for himself in the 8th and I have to assume he's in for the long haul.

And he draws a walk---lol.
I love it.

....seeing the replay just now of the play at the plate, I may have to retract this statment.

[Zvon]

I think we have taught each other that there are 3 things in baseball that kill.

Walks.
Errors.
Speed.

Marrero doubles in 2 runners who walked.

Nice 1st hit by the new guy.

[seawolf17]

'Bout time Marrero did something.

[Zvon]

="seawolf17"]'Bout time Marrero did something.

lol

These D'backs have to be feeling shellshocked.

I almost hope the Snakes do make the playoffs.
If the Mets get in (just talking in anti jinx logic when I say if)
all the games will seem like home games.

Cripes, they even hit better out there.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I just got back in from running some errands around town. It was 3-0 Mets after one innings when I left. Having a hell of a time reading through the thread.

I enjoy the play by play in the IGT's. For those of us that can't actually see the game, the descriptions of the action makes it easier to understand what happened in the game.

[Zvon]

get those books out.

[Zvon]

Pedro gets win number 6---finally!

Mercy is for the weak, Edgy.

Awww...

[Guest cooby]

well, that's different


Disclaimer: I swear Elster's last post somehow contained my previous post too. Now it doesn't

[Elster88]

Yeah, that's my bad. Some screwy HTML. It's fixed.

[Guest cooby]

But how'd you do that? It was cool! Tho

[Elster88]

Do NOT invite us to Chase Field again.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Seven doubles makes me wonder the Met record is for.

I know how the movie ends. I know how all four of them end. Don't sweep the legs.

Nah, its good that we are getting constant mentions and not a middle of the road team that is not so hiddeous that gets constant mentions simply as a "Can they top the 1962 Mets" type of thing

I don't know what you're telling me. What I DO know is that the D'backs look like Daniel-san after the scene following the dance.

Edgy DC wrote: I know how all four of them end.

There were only three. The one with Hilary Swank doesn't count. In fact, it never happened.

If you create a table, but don't use the final HTML tag (code) that ends the table, ezboard interprets the code to include the rest of the web page in the post.

Reyes with two steals today now has 119 career steals, good for fifth all time with the Mets.
