IGT #100 7-25-2006 Cubbies at Mets Right Zambrano vs Tommy G

[Elster88]

Why do pitchers keep taking our pitchers yard? Opposite field even.

[Centerfield]

Zambrano had a few to spare.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Zambrano is... damn.

[Guest GYC]

Willie is a jackass two nights in a row with his piss poor bullpen management. What a joke this guy is at bullpen management and knowning when to pull guys.

[Zvon]

I havent been able to be at the keys or keep an eye on this game--
but looks like I was fortunate so far.
Zambrano smacks one out?!
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyecurumba.

And I missed a couple a KaBooms-hate when that happens.

Sheesh--these damn Cubbies.

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don�t believe me ?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don�t believe me ?
And if they don�t believe me now
Will they ever believe me ?
And if they don�t believe me now
Will they ever, they ever, believe me ?
Oh ...

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A plundering desire for love
How can they see the Love in our eyes
And still they don�t believe us ?
And after all this time
They don�t want to believe us
And if they don�t believe us now
Will they ever believe us ?
And when you want to Live
How do you start ?
Where do you go ?
Who do you need to know ?

Oh ...
Oh no ...
Oh ...
La ...

[Zvon]

Dempster again..SPANK HIM boys!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Be nice to have that lefthanded slugger on the bench about now.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Do it again, Endy.

Do it again.

[Zvon]

Wright singles-
Floyd Ks
Valentin singles-
Mets have runners on the corners, 1 out.
Down by 3.

Chavez at the plate.

[nymr83]

just got home. 1st and 3rd, 1 out.

shrink jay-satan please.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fascinating action.

The double play is set up with Franco at the plate though.

[Frayed Knot]

Franco, not Nady?

[Zvon]

Endy draws the walk.
Bases loaded for..............
Mr Franco.

I was thinkin the same thing..................

[Zvon]

Mr Franco grounds out and Wright scores.......(whew-no DP)
8-6

2 out.

[Elster88]

Well this is exciting.

[Zvon]

....and Reyes walks to load em again.

COME ON LoDUCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TransMonk]

Reyes walks...all LoDuca.

[Frayed Knot]

That walk to Reyes didn't really mean much.
The extra runner doesn't matter and I'd rather have Jose up ... except that LoDuca's been hot, I'll give him that.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crazy.

Howry vs. Lo Duca.

[Elster88]

What does Right Zambrano mean?

[metirish]

Come on you Mets...great bloody game again tonight.

[Zvon]

Forget the painful thumb loDuke--alls we need is a rgound ball up the middle....

Just a single ties it.

[Elster88]

Chavez on second is good news.

[metirish]

Great AB by LoDuca...so far.

Damn, what am I saying ... I lost track of the score.

[metirish]

Damn.....Mets lose..

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bootles.

[Zvon]

He worked the at bat but pops out.
Dagnabbitt.

I think Howry was in there cuz Dempster has twice as many walks in the same amount of innings pitched.

I gotta question the use of Mr Franco there--the odds of getting a long ball (homer or double) out of him are much less than that with the X-Man.

And bringin in Howry was a good move there (in retrospect, of course).

Outmanaged by Dusty Baker----.
