Scoreless streak ends at 25 innings.

A Wright error with the sacks packed makes it 2-0 Dodgers going to the bottom of the first.

[Zvon]

Looks like its up to me.

My 1st IGT, and before I started it the Mets were already losing.
Not the way to start.

Maine has a rocky 1st inning.
Couplea singles, a walk--
but an error by Wright, a bad throw on a grounder that could have got the Mets out of the inning, is how the Dodgers score to open the game.

Maine did strikeout 2 in the first.

2-0, LA

Yea- on an error.
Blah!

[Zvon]

Reyes walks- is moved over by LoDuca,
and is thrown out trying to steal 3rd.
It was an excellent throw by LA catcher Martin that nabs him.


Stealing 3rd down by 2 runs with Beltran at the plate.....mmmmm....I dunno.

That just makes me think about how much better Jose Reyes is going to be once he learns how to really play the game.

He's a terrific player now based on raw skill and talent. Once he has a couple more years of mistakes and experience to learn by...the sky's the limit.

Maine strolls through the second inning with 8 pitches.

[Zvon]

The Dodgers just had the fastest half inning in the history of the game in the 2nd.

I looked down to type and the inning was over.
1-2-3.

[Valadius]

And now... the Green Monster!!!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

The second inning contained a total of 18 pitches.

Six up, Six down.

We go to the 3rd.

[Valadius]

I really wish my TV would get here already.

[Valadius]

In other news, Baltimore is up 7-0 on the MFYs after 2 innings...



MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Valadius/Steve Rogers sim score increasing.

[Zvon]

that is absolutely my favorite Bugs cartoon---
also-
the homer ball that goes "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"
with the face on it.

[metirish]

Mr. Kiner is in the booth.

[Valadius]

I found the whole cartoon!!!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Argh, home runs for Furcal and Garciaparra.

4-0 Superbas.

[Zvon]

Fucal goes yard against Maine.
Deep center.
Man, he got his arms extended on that swing.

And Garciappara smacks one out to left.

Mets down 4-0.

Oh noooooooooooo-whew---Beltran robs a homer from of JD Drew.

Yikes!

If the Mets come back and win, I want credit for 2 IGT wins for having the gonads to start an IGT when the Mets were already losing 2-0.

[Zvon]

Hey Val, could you please post (or PM me ) the link to that cartoon.
I get no sound here...
Id like to watch it with sound and bookmark it as well.

Thnx.
Nice to see you back.

Back to back singles by Wright and Green to start the Mets 5th.

[Guest Edgy DC]

After Milledge bats, pinch hit for Maine and go to Humber.

[Zvon]

Ugh-
Woody and Lastings let me down.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nope, DP.

Ralph Kiner's season ends, and I missed it all.

[TransMonk]

Woody and Milledge don't give me anymore confidence against lefties than Valentin and Chavez.

[Valadius]

Oliver? What?

[Zvon]

Wow-
Maine out- Oliver in.

Pitching spot in the lineup leads off next inning.
Guess they didnt want to squeeze one more out of Maine.

And Oliver is greeted with a double.

[Valadius]

Goddammit.
