IGT 7/26/06 - Day Game Against The Cubs

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Well, Franco strikes out. So no grand slam for Beltran this inning. (At least, not the first time through the order.)

I think that have great pitchers like Seaver and Gooden pitch superbly for the Mets and the fact that pitchers like Seaver and Gooden only got no-hitters for other teams adds to the mystery and aura.

Egg-actly

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Solid single for Reyes. Let's get him home!

Will Endy bunt?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Ole Jose - Reyes is on base with a single.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Reyes with a base hit. Here's hoping it's worth something under the "R".

[stevejrogers]

[Frayed Knot]

That's the first ball he's gotten out of the infield in a while ... hit OR out.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I still don't understand that green SpongeBob guy.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Outfield pop for Chavez.

They're playing Beltran's song again.

[Elster88]

Time for clean up.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Beltran singles Reyes to third!

It's up to Delgado now!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Not a 3-run homer, but a bloop single.

Runners on the corners, two out.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Some pbp right this second would be nice.

[stevejrogers]

Just heard on ESPN Radio's Sports Center that Prior actually had possible arm problems when he left? Anyone hear this on the broadcast?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Double steal, I say.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

0 and 2 on Delgado.

No.

Heres the O-2 pitch and Beltran steals SECOND!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

And Delgado strikes out swinging to end the inning.

[stevejrogers]

14th steal on the year

[stevejrogers]

SWING and a miss and that ends the inning

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I guess they're going to give the ball to Wagner?

I'm not feeling like this is going to go well.

[stevejrogers]

Buckle your seatbelts we head to the ninth, Mets nothing, Cubs coming up

[Willets Point]

Walk off wins are more fun anyway.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We tied them in the hit column.

[Theoldmole]

Lights out, and walk-off for Wright. You read it here first.

Sounds like pure speculation to me - based solely on him leaving while he still had a no-hitter.
Dusty came out to talk to him one batter prior to him being pulled - and then pulled him when he didn't retire that batter. Seems illogical that an injury occured right at that moment.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I remember when Victor Zambrano got visited before pitching to one final batter. Of course, this time Prior didn't charge off the mound as if he had liquid feces in his pants.

True, hence why sports center anchors (radio and TV) should not spice their reports with commentary
