Lets go Mets, Lo Duca on with a single and a ground double from Beltran sends Paul to 3rd.

[metirish]

Keith thinks Harang is tipping some of his pitches.......

Wrights da Man!

Knocks in two.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Delgado strikes out with runners on second and third (what's wrong with him lately?) but Wright bails him out with a two-run double.

Remember - he's having the same season as A-Rod....

I dunno- its really tuff to see him letting these opportunities go to waste.
He's got good production numbers, aside from his B.A.slipping down, but he'd be having a monster year if he was a bit more consistant and took advantage of what the tablesetters have given him.

Im sure he'll come around.

[Guest Iubitul]

The longer he slumps, the more pain for the team that faces him when he comes out of it.

[metirish]

Damn that Reyes is good, he plates two for a four zip lead...

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I could be spacing big-time, but was Traxxxx's pickoff of Freel in the first the first Met pickoff of the year?

I can't recall any others, but I might be spacing as I said.

Keppinger traded, sez Howie.

Reyes knocks in 2 more on a bloopy single.

Willie talked a bit about Delgado's slump on M&MD (well, just "M") today. I guess Delgado "knows what he's doing wrong," but he's just having a hard time putting the pieces together. Which means iubitul is right.

HAhaaaaa---I like that one.

Yea,--they say a career .280 hitter will end up hitting around .280 by seasons end, so that should be quite a tear hes gonna go on soon.

[Guest Iubitul]

Beltran juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust missed that one...

Reyes goes to third - LoDuca still on first...

To the Kansas City Royals for 2B Ruben Gotay.

[metirish]

Delgado whiffs again, maybe a few nights off might help.

[Zvon]

Delgado wiffs---meh--
he can start his tear next time up.

Don't even think those two together! It tarnishes Mr. Wright more than that faith healer does!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Crap - it rains for 30 seconds and they start putting the tarp on the field.

The Mets have a 4-0 lead in the second - we're waiting all night to finish this one if we have to!

Rain Delay Theater - a rebroadcast of the game from September 21, 2001 (the first game after 9/11).

My sarcasm meter must be broken...

You never know when they are gonna be abused or simply misread-
Thats why I got protection for mine.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Why does it always seem to rain when Trachsel pitches? After he retires he can make a living barnstorming through drought areas.

[Guest Iubitul]

The rain has stopped, but there is a lot of water on the field. No start time yet, but it looks like the game will resume...

Because it does....

No, I think you're right.

With a 4-0 lead, we'll wait as long as we need to wait.

I'm watching the game in Ohio. The rain is pooled up on the warning track, and they're digging up the mud with shovels and a backhoe. It seems never to have occurred to the builders of the Great American Ballpark that some sort of drainage system ought to be in place. It certainly looks like they'll be playing, but we could have some slippery fun on balls hit to the wall.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

As they're working on the field, Gary Cohen observes that it isn't raining anywhere else in the country other than in Cincinnati.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Jeezus. I barely recalled Ken Caminiti finished with the Braves that year. Just made a nice play to end the 4th. He'd start the steroid whistleblowing and be dead in three years.

[Guest Iubitul]

OMG - we miss Liza, and we miss MIke's home run....
