IGT 06/14/06: NY Mets @ Philles - Game 2 - El Duque vs Myers

[Guest Mr. Zero]

Sure looks like they're trying to lose on purpose.

[Zvon]

And I cant believe that deep fly goes off Abreus glove!
Reyes takes 3 bases on it.
They score that a triple but that had error written all over it!.

And Myers has been knocked out of the box.

[A Boy Named Seo]

What up with Abreu? He seems to freak out when he gets close to the wall. Moreso than most other guys. Anyone recall if he smacked into one sometime?

I'll never foprget that game, since it took place while Ms. Dickshot was butching it out in labor. I think she hurt worse.

[Willets Point]

There goes the no-hitter.

[Elster88]

This park sucks.

[Zvon]

That pesky Ultley doubles.>

[Guest GYC]

El Duque is imploding... And now it is raining. Fuck.

[nymr83]

if you blow this lead you should never start a game in a met uniform again.

the phillies got 2, we've only played 3 and the rain is coming

He's been playing like that all season.
That wall comes on you quick out there in right.

Wait until you see a challanging wall ball to left- Burrell has the same ailment, and he'll be fun to watch.


Abreu can hit tho, and usually does when the Phils are down.
he knocks in Utley and---
it starts to rain.
This game BETTER NOT end up like the one when the Mets were here last road trip.


LoDuke throws one into center--one that Reyes should have handled and Abreu steals second.

[Zvon]

Howard pops out.
So Rollins has homered 3 times the last two games.
Not good.

6-2 mets, and I get this feeling they are gonna need more.
And Beltran hears me and doubles down the 1st baseline.

man-he smoked that down the line!

[Elster88]

Abreu is a weenie.

[Zvon]

And Delgado drives in Beltran with a single up what can only be considered the middle, the way they play him.

[nymr83]

fuckin shit the tarp is coming out.

[Guest GYC]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Zvon]

Hernandez does not look long for this game.

And now its pourin!

If they roll out the tarp---and they are--i wonder if it wouldnt be wise to shelf ElDouque for the night and run a fresh arm out there after the delay.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

We're in a rain delay

[Guest GYC]

[nymr83]

get Oliver up, duque hasn't been sharp and we might as well use the rain to get him out of there.

[Willets Point]

It sure rains a lot in Philadelphia. It would've been nice if it was an official game and they called it with the Mets ahead.

[Zvon]

If the delay isnt that long-maybe stick with Hernandez and try to get afew more out of him.
The way he was starting to look tho, i dont think any delay is gonna help him. He was starting to look uncontrolled.
If its longer than 15 minutes---I wouldnt mind seein Oliver for 2 to 4.
Sanchez can do an inning.
Bradford in a fix.
If it gets close we got Wags in the 9th.

[Elster88]

Ed Kranepool on my TV. He was at David's golf torunament.

[nymr83]

]If its longer than 15 minutes

i don't think you'd pull the tarp out if it was going to end that soon, it takes a few minutes to get on and 10 to get off, thats on top of the time its sitting there during the actual rain, i think the "minimum" rain delay is 30 minutes or so, at least i've never seen one shorter

[Elster88]

Keith Miller is Wright's agent. Yes, that Keith Miller.

looks like they all got hit by lightning.

Nady went 2 for 4 with a double in his rehab start the other day.
Floyds almost ready to return.
Should be interesting to see whats gonna happen when they return, cuz they are gonna start and play, at least for a time.
I wont even acknowledge the Cliffy trade talk.

I personally would like to see Milledge up and on the bench, gellin with the team and being influenced on a major league level by the likes of Delgado, Beltran and Wright.

[metirish]

We are back , Oliver pitching for the Mets...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The tarp is off the field.

Change the title of the thread - it's Darren Oliver vs. The Phillies.
