... and Glavine retires them 1-2-3 on 8 pitches

[Frayed Knot]

Cliff wants to tell the CPF: "KABOOM"


1-0 middle of 2nd

[MFS62]

FK, I can't see any graphics on this PC (lazy browser).
But the words about Cliff came through loud and clear.
Thanks,
Later

[Frayed Knot]

Well maybe you can't see them because I didn't put up any graphics.


Reds get back-to-back 1-out singles from Encarnacion & Phillips but no runs in their half of the 2nd.

[MFS62]

I can't see any graphics, so I didn't know if there were any or not.

I know what you mean. I don't see any dancing gnomes, but I think they may be here. Can't be sure for sure.

[Frayed Knot]

(No one tell MFS that there's a huge middle finger graphic pointed at him right now)


A Glavine single is left stranded in the Met half of the 3rd.

[MFS62]

THAT I saw.

LOL!

Castro erases a Red single with a CS

1-0 after 3

[Willets Point]

I see pink elephants.

And a Carlos Delgado HR!

[Frayed Knot]

Inning 4:
Carlos D adds a 'KABOOM' of his own

Then 2 out singles by Cliff & Valentin leave things up to Castro who ... promptly strikes out.


2-0 middle of 4th

[Frayed Knot]

Glavine works around a 2-out walk by K-ing Phillips looking


2-0 end of 4

[duan]

I love pitchers having 8 pitch at bats.

[Elster88]

Glavine 54 pitches through 4. I'll buy that.

[Frayed Knot]

Glavine - Reyes - Chavez go FO, FO, FO

2-0, mid-5th

[duan]

agh,

back to back singles against Glavine. Me no likey.

[Elster88]

Sucks when a guy finds the exit to the Interstate when he's playing your team.

[Frayed Knot]

Clayton - Single
LaRue - Single
Arroyo - SacBunt
Freel - 2RBI Double
Denorfia - F9
Dunn - F9

2-2 end of 5

[Frayed Knot]

Carlos - K
Carlos - K
Wright - K

[Elster88]

Boston fans want to play the "Arroyo's only pitching well because he's in the National League" card.

But when you strike out Beltran, Delgado, and Wright back-to-back-to-back, you're pretty fucking good.

[Willets Point]

F'in Glavine.

[Elster88]

The trade dealine is in 11 days? Geez, where did the summer go?

[Willets Point]

Yay defense!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

- R. Aurilia singled to left
- E. Encarnacion ground rule double to deep left center, R. Aurilia to third
- B. Phillips grounded into fielder's choice, R. Aurilia out at home, E. Encarnacion to third
- R. Clayton grounded out to pitcher, B. Phillips to second

[seawolf17]

I hate intentional walks. They're fascist.

[Willets Point]

Fan interference and Aurillia brainfarting on the basepath help get the Mets out of this inning unscathed. This could have been a MUCH uglier inning.

[seawolf17]

Was that a bases-loaded bunt? Is Arroyo drunk, or did the ESPN GameCast just not call that one correctly?

[Willets Point]

'Twas a bases loaded bunt. Oddly Castro went for the tag even though there was a force play at the plate.

Actually that's a third thing that worked in the Mets favor to getting out of the inning. Remember this before you drench Glavine with Schaefer tonight.
