IGT - NY Mets @ Boston Redsox - 6/29/06 Keep The Faith!

[Zvon]

Mets are turned away in the 1st.

Lets see what Glavine has today.
We could use his A game out there tonight.

Boston to bat.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Let's hope Glavine isn't 'lost in the moment".

[Zvon]

Nice inning!

Gives up the walk to Loretta but gets BigPappi to hit into the DP.

[Zvon]

Mets go 1-2-3 in the second, only Mr. Franco hitting a ball hard.
Wright and Valentin on easy pop ups.
Looks like Wrights trying to force out some hairs on his chin.

[Gwreck]

For those in the NY area/with satellite, YES is showing the Tides at Columbus Clippers right now (for flipping to during commercials).

[Centerfield]

Any update on Delgado?

[Guest Hillbilly]

Expected back against the Yanks.

[Zvon]

Another nice inning by Tommy.

Varitek batting lefty vs. Glavine.
I see the logic here but I think this works better for us.
At least it does when Glavine is hitting his spots.

0-0 after 2 and a half.

[Zvon]

BEAUTIFUL bunt by Chavez but Lowell pounces on it like a pooper scooper.
Makes the play.

And Manny gives Milledge a lil lesson on how to play the Mohnstah as he holds Woody to a single on a drive off the wall.

As is Mr. Floyd, in all liklihood.

[Zvon]

DAMN!
Youkilis kills a possible rally robbing Reyes of a single to right.


Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn,....Damn.

[Zvon]

A smooth 3rd.

No score after 3.

I have a question for any veteran member here.
I was here last season and I know you had the IGT here, but how many seasons has it been conducted here?
I ask cuz now I see all these sport web sites have game "glogs".

[Gwreck]

7,066 and counting.

Sigh.

[Zvon]

Glavine pitches himself into a jam here.
Two hits and a walk.
Bases loaded, 2 out, and Veritek will bat lefty again.

And he gets out of it by getting Veritek to fly out to left!
Whew.

On the Red Sox, feed, Don Orsillo just said something pretty unintentionally funny. They're talking about Glavine's background, and his hockey prowess, and how he made the right choice picking baseball over hockey. They mention how he's a sure bet HOFer, and that at least with baseball, "he still has all his own teeth". Woops.

HA!
Gotta wear those teeth guards in taxis these days.


Mr Franco doubles to right!

[Zvon]

Woodward with a GREAT at bat draws the walk after making Shilling throw boo-koo pitches.

1st and 2nd- the rook at the plate.

[Zvon]

OMG!
Mr Franco gets picked off second!

UGH.

[Theoldmole]

When Schilling walked Woody, the guys in booth replayed it, saying "Watch Schilling's reaction."

Schilling's reaction was "FUCK!"

As was mine at the pickoff.

This is an official Big Game.

[Zvon]

Glavine misplays the Gonzalez bunt for a single and and error.
But he is stranded at second as Tommy gets out of another fix.

We better start getting to Shilling-----like NOW.

[Zvon]

Ugh.
Milledge swings at crapiola.

[Centerfield]

Beltran. Good.

[Zvon]

2 run blast!

[willpie]

Little Carlos!
BOOM!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That homer was enormous, considering any other way it might take 2 hits to score D'ohLuca and his rolled ankle.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Beltran is offically a big game player.

[nymr83]

sox tie it on 2-straight fly balls moving ortiz to 3rd and then home.

this inning could have been alot worse.

That was a big heads up play by the Sox.

I had to miss that half-inning and was listening on the radio rather than watching.

WFAN guys suggested that Beltran erred by allowing Manny to advance to 2nd on that play rather than keeping the double play in order.
