IGT 8/13/06 - Mets (Trachsel) at Nationals (Armas Jr.)

[metirish]

Mr.Met getting all the love in DC from the fans.

[Zvon]

Are they having a mascot convention in Washington this weekend?

[metirish]

No Gary just explained that the Nationals have all the area mascots in town to honour Screech the Nats mascot,who Gary thinks in an Owl but Ron says he's a bald eagle...looks like an owl though.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

There was no need for them to dis Fredbird like that. He's not so bad.

Looks like a chick to me.

Everyone on both teams, aside from the pitchers, are playing like they were out late last night drinking with me.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Were they?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Oh dear lord no! Willie is replacing Trax with Royce Ring with two out and runners on the corners!

[Zvon]

I cant recall.......

Perfectly executed hit and run knocks Trachsel off the mound (figuratively speaking).

Ring in to put out the fire.

He's throwin gas, but you shouldnt throw gas on a fire.

Walks Ward and Rings run.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

After walking the only batter he faced, Ring is pulled and Chad Bradford comes in with the bases loaded and two out.

[Zvon]

Bases loaded for Soriano-

Bradford takes the mound.
2 out.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

YES - Porn Stash makes a great play to get the runner at first and end the inning. Whew!

[Zvon]

GREAT PLAY by VALENTIN gets the Mets out of trouble.

Grounder up the middle, behind second-Val with the nice play coming across and a great throw to 1st.
Excellent.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Bradford had come into today's game having stranded 32 out of 41 inherited runners. With Valentin's help, that's now 35 out of 44.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Tucker!!! Hot damn!

[Zvon]

TUCKER!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Michael Tucker goes



His first major league home run in over a year gives the Mets a 2-1 lead.

I'm rooting for laundry here.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

With one out and a runner on 1st in the 8th, Darren Oliver comes in to face Nick Fucking Johnson.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

OMG! Not only did Nick Fucking Johnson fly out to center, but Ryan Zimmerman makes a rookie mistake by forgetting how many outs there were in the inning - by the time he got to third, the ball was back to first to complete the double play.

One pitch, two outs - nice work Darren!

[Zvon]

Oliver on to try and get thru the 8th.

And Mets get a break as the rook Zimmerman runs all the way to third on the flyout to center, and is easily doubled up!

[Zvon]

Valentin with the sac fly and we get a lil

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ausitn Kearns does something stupid.

Frank Robinson may end up ripping his team today.

Who do you think he is - Mother Torresa?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

3-1 heading to the bottom of the 9th.

Enter Sandman.

HA!
The two a them should share a crying towel.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Damn - with the Nats down to their last strike, Wagner loses the batter and Escobar comes to the plate as the tying run with two out and a runner on first

[Guest Edgy DC]

Escobar is back.

He made the last out last night, didn't he?

[metirish]

Alex walks...damn Billy come on.

[Zvon]

Wags gets two quick outs and gives up a line single to Marlon Anderson.

Itll be Escobar to pinch hit......
Wags walks him and this brings Willie to the mound.
