IGT 8/2 - Mets at Marlins

[Zvon]

Reads as a one pitch out by Berto.
Good job old man.

Ughm--I mean Mr. Hernandez.

Nope, he was Mets property interrupted since he came over with Victor Z.

[stevejrogers]

Did Hernandez get his chance to catch yet? For some reason I thought I heard he did

I'm sure he didn't want it to be, but now that it is, I'd like to see Wagner come in and get a save to get right back on the horse, etc etc.

Not in the major leagues.

The career fielding stats are easily found on MLB.com or ESPN...

[Gwreck]

Who else had bad flashbacks when they saw Endy diving in from off-screen after that ball?

Im with ya.

Fortunately Mr Herandez strikes out Olivo.
Unfortunatley the third strike is also a wild pitch, and Olivo reaches.

Helms follows with a single to center-Olivo to 2nd.

Amezega works Mr H for a 6 pitch at bat, and flies out to center- Oliva moves to third on the sac.

2 out.
Come on Berto-
shut the door--we traded for last years model.

He wont get the chance-Feliciano on to face ex-Met Jacobs.

[Zvon]

Uggla pinch hits for Jacobs.

Feleece walks him.
Guess he'd rather face Cabrera.

UGH.

[Zvon]

...or make way for Bradford.

I thought we'd be going thru Marlin pitchers all night but instead the Fish are going thru Met pitchers.

[TransMonk]

I miss Duaner.

[Zvon]

Chad--Ya let me down.
No brew for you.

6-5 Mets, and what I thought was gonna be a easy win proves to me that Jethro Tull was right.....
Nothin's easy.

Maybe they need a Captain...

S.I. kinda appointed LoDuca as team Captain.
Captain Red Ass.
But I guess that really doesnt count unless your team mates do it.

Valentin --no brew for you-- gets picked off 1st after drawing a walk. Dag.

[Willets Point]

Soupcan is the one and only captain.

There ya go.

Mr Franco pinch hits a single, but Reyes leaves him there to get older as he fans.

I was referring to the Captain in that incruseatingly long "I'm your Captain, I'm your Captain..." song

The one that rambles "I'm getting closer to my home" for about 20 minutes

Good song, IMO.
Thall be the in game thread quiz of the night-
Who does this song?

[stevejrogers]

Of course it was by Grand Funk Railroad...

[Zvon]

="SteveJRogers"]Of course it was by Grand Funk Railroad...

DING!
(actually I dont recall,lol.)

Bases juiced, no outs in the 9th for Wright.

[Willets Point]

Ah, insurance runs would be nice. Although we don't really need them cuz with a 1-run lead we can count on Wagner to come in to shut the door.

[Willets Point]

Floyd ejected? Whoa!

[Frayed Knot]

Home Plate ump doing us no favors tonight: re Cliff & Bradford

[Gwreck]

Mets player ejection #3 this year (?). LoDuca with Angel Hernandez, and Duaner Sanchez once.

[Zvon]

Hard to believe we didnt get that insurance.
*Z pulls out another tuft of hair.

I am of the sentiment to run him right back out there is a good thing.
He is our closer, lock stock and barrel.

But still......................

[Willets Point]

Bases loaded with no outs leading to no runs is totally 2003 Mets.

[Willets Point]

Uh-oh.

[Zvon]

A single and a freakin hit by pitch....
great.

Milledge is in for Floyd in left.

And now we have the heart of Floridas lineup.

[Zvon]

The Marlins pinch run for both helms and Moehler.

Gonna be tuff to get a much needed double play here.

[Frayed Knot]

Thank you Joe Girardi (for leaving the bunt on w/2 strikes)

[Zvon]

THATS what we need Billy---BIG K of Ramirez for out number 1.
