IGT 09/06/06 Mets-Braves Game 2 of Doubleheader

[Guest KC]

I know the sweep today is of little value in the big picture, but in the small
little picture in my brain that says, "hey Atlanta, fuck you" it has me smiling.

HAHA!

I was just thinking, nice to finally follow a September loss to the Braves with a couple of wins!

Not to mention how nice it feels not to feel the need to smash things after the Mets LOSE a September game to the Braves!

Was also thinking that this series had all the potential to be a litmus test when the season began.

Well, it was

For the Braves who still have fading hopes of the Wild Card! HEHEHE!

See? What'd I tell ya?

Andy Handy is hitting .120 now, .103 career.

That's still eight points better than Pedro Martinez, so fear not.

That said, I have no problem putting him in the two-hole. Clearly, they're trying to get the guy going.

some after game tidbits:

] Jose Reyes hit the first pitch he saw in the second game for his sixth leadoff homer of the season, setting a Mets record.

^shouldnt that just be "Met" record? Mets record?
Yancy, your the Met or Mets record expert- whadoYaThink?

]It was New York's first doubleheader sweep at home since Aug. 15, 2000, against Colorado.

Wow!

]The Mets had not swept a doubleheader from Atlanta since July 22, 1988.

^Somebody check that cuz its awfully hard to believe.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Double-headers just don't happen enough anymore.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just to recall, this man gave up 12 hits (and seven runs) in three innings his last start, throwing 96 pitches.

Wow.
