True, ah well, series is in the bag though.

[stevejrogers]

I mean like you said, for the 6th straight year the Mets will not be playing a single meaningfull game in September!

Can you turn it inside out?

Problem with picking images online, sometimes the "View Image" page makes the image smaller than it appears

[Guest SwitchHitter]

I could turn it backwards......but I won't. Y'all don't need no stinkin' rally.

[stevejrogers]

Come on Lidge, pretend Floyd is Pujols!

[stevejrogers]

Okay, Delgado is definatly Pujols-esque!

Probably, but not neccesarily.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Delagdo keeps it alive

[stevejrogers]

KABOOM
2-1 Mets

HRs are rally killers though. Love to see actual stats for it though in terms of runs scored after a HR.

Whers the Elias phone number!

[Guest SwitchHitter]

game over. Lidge isn't the closer, but he got it done.

[stevejrogers]

Lidge LOST his closer role? To whom?

God forbid we have to face them again. We didn't see Ratface or the Asshole this series.

I'll be very happy if Houston fades doen the stretch.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

To a committe. Of which he's apparently a member.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, we were two batters away from getting to Woodward's spot and THEN I would have joined you in calling for a PH appearance by Wright.
THAT's when the game would have really been on the line. Until then, let Woody grab some ABs and have Wright's day off truly be a day off.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

How did Pettitte get the name "rat-face"? I really wanna know. I keep seeing it here and wondering so I figured I might as well ask.

He has a rodent-esque look to the face, long nose, thin long face.

I think its also based on national broadcast's overuse of his focused glare while getting the sign from the backstop.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Okay, that makes sense. I'm half-blind so I don't see things like that.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm pretty sure that's a nickname that origniated on this board - although I don't know who specifically came up with it.



I just saw the replay of Oswalt's bases-loaded GO to Valentin ... he was safe.

[stevejrogers]

Darn! Can not google a good shot of what I'm talking about.

Basically camera focuses straight on Pettitte's face, the brim is lowered, really making the long face and nose stand out and the glove is right in front of his face, almost identical to Clemens' glare

[Guest SwitchHitter]

That's really pettitte. is that what you mean?

[Guest SwitchHitter]

This board don't allow .bmps?

[stevejrogers]

Yup. I'm trying to find one where the glove is right in front, just before going into his delivery. Ah well

[Gwreck]

I'm all in favor of David Wright and Paul LoDuca getting days off, but not using them as pinch hitters in the 8th (in place of Woodward and DiFelice) is tantamount to giving up...in a 2-0 game.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I was thinking the same thing.

[metirish]

I've not seen much baseball this weekend but I just heard Willie say Beltran could be back Monday...

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

That's terrific. The report I saw had Beltran saying that his knee is feeling a lot better, and he's very pleased.
