Mets up 3 - 0 on a bases loaded double by Delgado.

[stevejrogers]

Niceage!

[Frayed Knot]

EARLY RUNS! EARLY RUNS!

Reyes - walk
LoDuke - walk
Beltran - bunt hit (scored an error but they're idiots)
Delgado - bases-clearing double

[Gwreck]

Off - fense?

What is this "off - fense" you speak of? I'm not familar with such a concept.

[Elster88]

That was not as hard a catch as Andrueiuow made it out to be. It was up in the air forever.

[Elster88]

Holy fucking shit.

El Duque....to quote Lou Brown.

"Great catch, DONT EVER FUCKING DO IT AGAIN"

as he barehands a grounder up the middle.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice week's worth of offense in the first.

I'd like another week in the second.

[TransMonk]

Fucking stupid!

Why send Reyes? All well and all, but Jesus Christmas, that's the last thing we need.

[Guest martin]

i dunno that i buy that obliterating the catcher is all that safe either, seems like a collision of any kind is bad news for a guy reyes' size.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Duque risks himself with a play. Reyes with a slide.

You hate the risks, but it's good to see them reminding themselves how to play playoff ball.

4-0.

[Guest martin]

although i guess i can accept that if you hit the catcher in the upper body you wont get the armored knee to the chest that reyes keeps getting.

[metirish]

For a second I thought he was hurt...Acta sent him tonight but not last night.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I wonder how aware Jose is that he's two steals away from a club record, and if he is, how much he cares?

[Guest KC]

Yeah, I don't get testing the arm of Jones on a play like that and Reyes
really needs to learn how to protect himself and go agressively into home
plate instead of sliding through brick walls.

Amen, brother. Yet another reason I wouldn't have sent him.

He's so fast he hasn't learned how to slide yet.

I'm sure he's very aware and judging by the 7 steals in the last 5 or 6 games, I think he cares plenty.

[TransMonk]

I have absolutely no problem with El Duque being our game one starter.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

No, me neither. He's our guy.

Who woulda thunk it?

[TransMonk]

Delgado walked on 3 pitches?

[Guest KC]

I might even start calling him El Duque, don't tell anyone.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The fourth ball was called when the pitcher blew on his hand.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pat Coralles taking over for Bobby Cox. He first managed in 1978.

If the Braves come back and win, it'd be his first victory since 1987.

[TransMonk]

Great at-bat by Woodward. Fouls some off, works the walk, clears the pitcher. Excellent!

[TransMonk]

El Duque shames the rookie with the sloe stuff to end the 3rd.

Oh we're the boys of the chorus we hope you like our show
We know you're rooting for us but now we have to go

What's up doc, what's cooking
What's up doc, are you looking
For Bugs Bunny's bunting doc has gone a-hunting
Just to get a rabbit's skin but now that rabbit's gone again
What's up doc, what's cooking
Hey, look out, stop!!!
You're gonna hurt someone, with that old shotgun
Hey what's up doc??
We really mean it
What's
Up
Doc

He'll always be Orlando Hernandez to me.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Delgado doubles home another run.

Finally a game for which it will be easy to give out some Schaefer.

Not me.

[Guest KC]

Cohen: oh and the bugs bunny curve (on a O Hern pitch)

Lurkin' from the booth I tell ya.

[Guest Edgy DC]

El Duque just pasted dat pat'etic palookah wit' his paralyzing, perplexing, perfect, pachydermus percussion pitch.
