IGT 7-29-2006 Mets at Braves Saturday Matinee

[Zvon]

Mr Franco surprises everyone with that stolen base!

[metirish]

Franco comes in and promptly steals second and goes to third on a throwing error....amazin.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's for naught - the inning ends on Mr. Wright's groundout.

He's not having a good day today, is he?

He's been borderline slumping since that damned home run hitting contest...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's not the worst slump I've ever seen. Even if he has only had one home run since then

[Guest Iubitul]

The stats guys are in a slump, too...

[metirish]

True Lubitul, he only has one home run since that game.

SK beat me to it...

Its early yet.

Two dingers since, I believe.

I thought that line homer to right last night would snap him out of it, goin the other way sharply and all---

[metirish]

] Two dingers since, I believe.

Oh we know that,it's just Gary Cohen said twice last night that Wright's homer was his first since the All-Star game.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Yes - it has been two. But the SNY crew last night kept going on and on about that shot being his first since the All Star Break. We were riffing on that.

[Guest Iubitul]

MetIrish and SK's similarity scores going through the roof...

[metirish]

I like today's IGT....it's quite.....Lou tells us the first time a trainer came and talked to him about an injured players oblique injury Lou had no idea what he was talking about...that does not surprise me one bit Lou.

[Guest Iubitul]

I think oblique injuries are more prevalent with the acceptance of weight training.

A fine choice of a person with whom to be similar

[metirish]

Smoltz says Reyes gets his vote for MVP...WOW.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

LoDuca's third hit of the day is a double. Closet wheels in action!

[Guest Iubitul]

Smoltz has always been one of the Braves that I liked..

Nice hustle double by LoDuca...

[Zvon]

GREAT hustle by LoDuke makes Andrough look lazy!

[Guest martin]

i wonder if cox is going to yell at andruw for that lazy play.

even though piniella and albert arent good at all, i still prefer them to miller and morgan. i even sort of like the dead air sometimes.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

LoDuca is stranded as Beltran flies out.

3-3 in the middle of the 5th.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

El Duque RAN to first to cover the bag on that play.

Heilman - take notes!

[Guest martin]

pretty much ever commentator on national broadcasts reminds me how wonderfully spoiled i am by gary cohen. gary cohen is just fantastic and i love him.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Just what we need - a David Wright music video montage mid-inning.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Mr. Wright draws a one-out walk.

[Guest Iubitul]

Last night must have been a big win. This is the first time I can remember watching a Braves - Mets game without breaking out in a cold sweat...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

You can hear the Braves fans doing the wave.

It's so insipid.

[Guest martin]

i think we can all agree that we adore endy chavez.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I go to the kitchen for a snack, and it's a whole new ballgame.

That settles it - the diet is off!

[TransMonk]

Gosh, Endy sure is clutch.

Ducky helping himself out.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Paronto replaces Hudson in the 6th, and immediately gives up a




To Beltran!

10-3 Mets
