IGT 7-29-2006 Mets at Braves Saturday Matinee

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

El Duque gets the final out anyway. 10-3 with 3 outs to go.

[TransMonk]

Hey Scarlet:

This may help.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I get the cliches thing coming from Bull Durham. Did the Weary/Wooly line come from there as well?

[TransMonk]

Yup.

[Frayed Knot]

I agree w/the call because it's not like Woody was camped underneath it ... but did you see the ump pointing into foul indicating that the ball came down inside the stands even though it was 2-3 ft inside??
That's just laziness caused by the blowout.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cliffy's over .250.

Everybody who has ever booed Beltran, please step forward.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Thanks TM. I appreciate the straight answer to the simple question.

I know Bull Durham, but not every little line of dialogue.

[TransMonk]

No problem, figured that was the case.

Jeez - a guy tries to have a little fun, and you suck the fun right out of it Fun-sucker! ;-)

[Guest Edgy DC]

What a day for Hernandez, huh?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Cliff scores on the double play - it's 11-3 going to the bottom of the 9th.

I went into this series very nervous. I felt that last night's game was a must-win, because today's would surely be a lost cause. I was happy to see the Mets come from behind last night, and today's game has been an unexpected joy.

Tomorrow hardly matters, although it would be nice to see Glavine permanently shed his "Manchurian Brave" identity.

Forgive me for not being as up on Bull Durham minutae as you are

Me too - now I want the sweep - to watch the blade go straight through the back...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Bradford comes in to pitch the 9th.

Fred Flintstone could come in to pitch the 9th at this point

This time - but there will be a quiz later ;-)

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Misspelled Andrew pops up for the first out of the 9th.

Cliff misplays a ball - there's a runner on second with one out.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Two down, one to go.

[Guest Iubitul]

I teased my long-time friend Paul, who is an even longer-time Braves fan, about the Braves fans showing up with bags on their heads after all that the Braves did for them for the last 14 years... If the Braves didn't deserve a mulligan, then I don't know who does...

He called me a poor winner...

Here I am defending his team, saying that they deserve more support from their fans, and I'm a poor winner...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Game over - The Mets Win!

[stevejrogers]

Got the books? Check!

Okay, put this game in them!

[stevejrogers]

[Frayed Knot]

This weekend is just what we needed.
The Braves are steaming up the highway .. and we throw a big fuckin boulder in their way. Another win tomorrow sends 'em back the other way.

[Centerfield]

Nice win. I don't like how Fox didn't give us a Delgado update.

[stevejrogers]

Just thought the 9/11 post ought to be a silent one

Nice seeing the New York gear in the stands

I hope you're not talking about the MFY fan - that's only further proof of the spreading dark-side of the force...

The three fans in NY gear behind home plate during the final frame. Two Mets and one MFY

Make that two fans (wearing gear of a team actually playing at that stadium) and one moron.

Good point. I usually tell peeps in other team's gear at Shea that "You're in the wrong ballpark!" or "Uh shouldn't you be in (insert wherever specific team happens to be playing in that day)"

Geez, if you are going to represent New York and you aren't a Met fan, show up in a Giant, Jet, Knick, Net, Ranger, Islander, Devil, Red Bull or even a Liberty shirt
