IGT Friday 7-28-06 Pedro Returns Mets @ Braves

[Guest Edgy DC]

The Braves booth features two yucks claiming that players are getting more frequently hurt (no stats cited) because they're in too good a shape, and stretch too much.

="Edgy DC"]Wow. The Braves trainer is named Jim Lovell:

..Bang, zoom, to the moon!

Keith talks a lot about Whitey Herzog during games, didn't he run Keith out of St.Louis?....

Damn I'm David Cone, we share the same last name except mine is spelled Coen.

Not so much "run out of town" as trying to restructure the clubhouse. My guess is Keith understands why the move had to be made at the time

In the end, it worked out for him.

Whitey is a fascinating figure and good subject for gabbing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Villareal has really done his job here. I think he leads the NL in relief wins. Let's not extend that lead.

A huge "One that got away" from that early 70's era. Never mind the dealing of Otis, Ryan, Singleton, ect that was probably the biggest loss the organization had (well next to Hodges dying)

[metirish]

Good points guys, I don't think I have ever heard Keith say anything bad about Herzog when talking about him..

[Zvon]

Pedro findin his groove.

Phillys are losing in the 9th to the Marlins, 2-0.
Chase Utley has extended his hitting streak to 28 games with a single in the bottom of the 8th inning.

[metirish]

Wright with his 22nd homer of the year..6 to 4 Mets...

Kablammo.

We needed a pad.

We got a pad.

[stevejrogers]

[Zvon]

that IS a BIG run.

[stevejrogers]

Kaboom Bathroom Cleaners, can also do wonders for baseball games!

[stevejrogers]

Hey now I'm The Goose!

Uh, Goose Gozzo that is...

[Guest Iubitul]

Gary made a mistake there - he said it was Wright's first homer since the all-star break...

[Zvon]

Mr Franco 2 for 3 with a walk and a ribby.

How about that?

[stevejrogers]

Nine outs away

True - there was that 2-run shot in the 11-run inning.

[stevejrogers]

Pedro up to 77 pitches. Anyone know if warm up action in the pen?

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's pretty cool.

I'll admit, I'd like to see a little more extra-base power out of grandpa.

It's nice to burn the opposition's pen in game one of a series.

No word but he didnt look like he was getting up off the bench after the 3rd out this half.
Is he done for tonight?

[stevejrogers]

Feliciano in, Pedro's night is done

[stevejrogers]

One away

[stevejrogers]

MFY Wang complete game shutout, no Triple Happiness tonight
