That was some hard luck on a well hit ball.
Wright hung himself out to dry---

Two double plays aid Marquis thru the 1st two.

[Frayed Knot]

Green's stance is much more open than I remember it from earlier in his career.

My first impression of him from back in his Toronto days was that his tall (though not AS tall), thin build and Blue Jay uni wearing #15 (I think) you could see the 5 on his back in his slightly closed stance - all of which made him look a lot like Olerud who had recently played there.
And I thought, hey here's a guy who's going to be pretty good: he's a John Olerud ... but with speed!!

[Frayed Knot]

Williams has a nice swing but he bails out something awful.

Yea--but he just worked an 11 pitch at bat off Marquis.
Ended up striking out but-
ya gotta like that.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Reyes swipes his 53.

[Zvon]

thank you Preston Wilson!

[Guest Hillbilly]

sleezy drives him in with a 3 bagger that Preston Wilson miss plays!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Closet Wheels! LoDuca triples (with a little help from Mookie's kid) and Reyes scores on the play! 1-0 Mets!

[Zvon]

Preston gives up a triple to LoDuca---u see those lil stubby legs truckin around the bases?
lol.

Reyes scores.
1-0

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Wright gets an RBI sac fly (and misses a grand slam by about a foot or two).

2-0 Mets.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Shawn Green gets his first RBI as a Met! 3-0 Mets

[Frayed Knot]

Thought Davey-boy had one there ... settles for the sac fly.

Marquis is gonna have to come in with one sooner or later. He's trying to live on the outside corner the whole night (esp w/the leftys, he wanted no part of Delgado).
Someone's gonna smack him but good before this night is over.

[Zvon]

LoDuca tags off a deep drive to right by Wright.

Wrights power level is down. He got as much as he could of that pitch.....

Green with his 1st Met hit and RBI as Beltran scores on his line single to left.

3-0 Metropolitans

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Mr. Wright makes a NICE play to end the top of the 4th

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Not to damn with faint praise, but Michael Tucker hasn't yet hit the ball as hard as Green has in either of his turns tonight.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Oh Son of an Assenmacher.

The only thing worse than giving up a home run to St. Louis' light hitting catcher is giving one up to their light hitting backup catcher.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

With nice defense from Chavez, William gets out of the inning still leading 3-2.

[Zvon]

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wow, Delgado is back.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Delgado says "Gary Bennett isn't going to out homer me on my turf!"

5-2 Mets in the 5th

[Guest OlerudOwned]

BOOOOM for Delgado.

And...Wright JUST misses again. Teh suxx.

[seawolf17]

It is SO nice to have the real Carlos Delgado back. Keep this groove, big guy.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

A quick sixth for both clubs.

Mets'll try to get one more inning out of Williams.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

He doesn't make it. Bert comes in with one out and runners on second and third.

That is Bert, isn't it?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Come quietly, or there will be..trouble.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A nice play by Wright and a nice K gets us to the 7th inning stretch unscathed!

5-2 - Get Up And Stretch!

[Zvon]

Omar and the Cards GM havin a lil pow-wow up in his box--mmm, interesting.

RHernandez with a great relief job bailing out Williams in the 7th.

A deal for Scott Spezio is contingent on him changing the colour of his chin hair to Mets blue.

Your move, Creep.
