IGT 09/01/06: The Return of Glavine vs. the 'Stros

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The nightmare inning is finally over. 5-3 Houston.

Time to get them back!

[metirish]

Wild pitch or passed ball?

[MFS62]

Obvuously, Aspirin must not be a performance enhancing drug.

Later

[TransMonk]

Wild pitch.

The Astros awnser our two we shouldn't have scored with a couple they shoudn't have of their own.

Hey we still have 1986 NLCS over you!

Sadly, I don't think any of this years Mets are ready for a 4am fight with police at whatever the equivilant of Cooters is these days in Houston...

[TransMonk]

Poor Carlos...he can't figure out why the crowd is yelling LoDuuuuuuuuca whenever he comes to the plate.

Sounds like Shea last year.

[Guest cooby]

So she leaves

[stevejrogers]

I wonder if the place were Cooters was is still a Scores-esque establishment?

[TransMonk]

Hey Borkowski!

Walks kill.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

An outfield misplay on Mr. Wright's deep drive clears the bases. 6-5 Mets!

[Guest cooby]

Ya gonna flash that thing when someone makes an error on one of his hits?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

He would have brought home a run even if there was a spectacular catch.

IMO, the difference was between that drive bringing home two or three of the runners.

[Guest cooby]

Just teasing. I just looked at a game in progress summary and see there was no error. Flash on.

[stevejrogers]

Am I the only one that wishes the Mets and Stros had a more meaningfull rivalry? I mean, they ARE our expansion Bros?

[stevejrogers]

Course I hate the Dodgers so much that it pains me that Wilpon is such a Dodger freak, to the point where the new stadium is echoing Ebbetts and Jackie Robinson's name has been floated around through the years (not just in recent days) as a possible name for the place.

LET IT GO! ITS BEEN ALMOST 50 YEARS! THEIR AGE HAS COME AN GONE! ITS OUR TURN NOW!

ehem...

Okay, better go back to watching the game, but one of these days I'm really going to go on a treatise about the Dodgers!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

In the top of the inning Delgado was HBP and it wasn't called. Now Biggio is hit and it wasn't called.

The umpire isn't making any friends tonight.

[metirish]

Hardly anything wrong with Wilpon being a Dodger freak, Koufax being the great friend and all,Wilpon is a great owner IMO.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Jason Lane's fly ball ties the game.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

And we're tied.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Biggio's got no case. The little snot has spent his whole career leaning into pitches and it's about time he learned what it's like to be screwed by the practice.

Now let's get Glavine and his lead-blowing, ancient arm out of there.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Tied at 6 after 5.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Glavine's night is over - Tucker is pinch hitting for him in the 6th.

True, but I was deeply troubled by the lack of reigning boos in 2000 when that fake, phony fraud Tommy Lasorda threw out the first ball at Shea for a World Series game.

I still have nightmares about 1988!

Plus no Yankee-Hating Met fan should ever habor anything but ill will to those who fled to California, specifically those who hoodwink others the way the Dodgers did to the Giants.

In essence, the Dodger franchise in recent years are finally getting the cumupance they deserve for the entire O'Malley reign! I hope the Angels take over LA and Los Angeles gets to see EXACTLY why they were called 'Dem Bums back in the 20's and 30's.

Another No-Decision.

Wonder if the second half changes the Mets opinion about bringing him back next year? Probable postseason performance aside of course

[TransMonk]

The fact that Glavine went 5 and threw 93 pitches makes it a good start in my book. His arm didn't fall off...or worse, go numb.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Whew - Bradford gets the strikeout to end the 6th and strand the runner at 3rd. Still tied.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Nice catch Willy!

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Gotta go put my kids to bed.

[TransMonk]

Yea for Valentin!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Yes! Porn Stash knocks in Mr. Wright to give the Mets 7-6 lead!
