IGT 8-18-2006 Mets vs the John Denvers

[Guest Edgy DC]

Six-three now. Exy Lent.

Bad slide by Tucker.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Bad slide, but it also looks like a bad call - I don't think that Tucker was tagged at the plate. Gary is explaining how Hirschback was out of position.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tucker this time does make a well-advised hookslide. Except he doesn't get the call.

[Guest Edgy DC]

My bad slide comment was relative to the play at third. I like his move at the plate.

Welcome back to Shea, Tom Martin.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Ah - I misunderstood.

6-3 Mets at the end of the 6th.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Stop kicking Ralph out of the booth!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The poor man needs his rest already.

But Ralph sounded very excited about coming back tomorrow for the 1986 celebration

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Oops - I was off by an inning.

Trax just completed the top of the 6th, getting out of a 2 on, 1 out jam unscathed. Still 6-3.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Trax is on 93 pitches. Bring him back out for the seventh.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

"Shit!"

[Guest Edgy DC]

I haven't seen any shit. What am I missing?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Double by Beltran.

Five for his last five with two walks. Boo!

LoDuca had some choice words for a pitch he fouled off.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Delgado walks, while Beltran steals third. Mr. Wright at the plate.

That was pretty funny.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright facing the lefty with two ducks on the pond.

Martin, to his credit, usually does better against righties.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And he gets his man.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

6-3 heading towards the 7th inning stretch.

It's good that Trax went deep tonight. We'll need all hands on deck tomorrow with the rookie starting.

[metirish]

What rookie is starting tomorrow?,I'm drawing a blank .

Dave Williams isn't exactly a rookie.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I thought 27-year old, non-rookie, deceased Alt-rock singer Dave Williams was starting tomorrow.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Cool - thanks FK.

Trax's night is over. Ledee pinch hits for him. The bunt attempt is ruled a foul ball on a weird play. Ledee follows up by flying out to end the inning.

[metirish]

I love watching Bradford pitch,plus he's shit-hot,great job by Trax tonight.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Why was Bradford warming up to "Over My Head (Cable Car)" by The Fray?

Isn't that the kind of music you would play for the opposing reliever?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Bradford gives up a 2-out single and strands the runner.

On to the bottom of the 8th!

[metirish]

Gary tells us that for the next two games the Mets will wear 86 uniforms to honour the guys.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Onto the 9th. Wagner is coming in with a 3-run lead.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gets the first out looking.

[metirish]

The second out swinging on some serious high heat...

[stevejrogers]

Game Over!

Good like
