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

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Attaboy Valentin.

You knew when Wright missed a HR by a few feet, then rammed the next delivery off the fence, that they'd do some damage against this joker.

Great turn by Valentin, followed by an Endy Special.

We rock again.

And Endy's single brings home Porn Stash! 8-6!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The inning ends on a strike-em-out/throw-em-out DP. 8-6 Mets, going to the bottom of the 8th with Heilman coming in.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I never like seeing the Mets face anyone named Qualls.

Is that Jimmy's son?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

On to the bottom of the 9th. Enter Sandman.

Wagner coughing up a 0-2 RBI single to Biggio.

Cy Young my Aunt Fanny.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

OK, Billy. Save 33, Mets win 8-7.

IMO, the turning point in this game was when Wandy Rodriguez was pulled for a pinch hitter in the third inning. It was a calculalted risk, but it resulted in the pulling of a pitcher who was doing fairly well and putting the games in the hands of a bullpen that will now be a llittle more taxed going into the rest of this series.
