IGT 10/05, Dodgers at Mets (Game 2 NLDS)

[Willets Point]

Nice job by Reyes to make Kuo throw so many pitches by fouling them off.

Does he have a sitcom debuting on Fox this fall?

[Guest Hillbilly]

Nothing small about Paul's double. That was a frozen rope!

[Zvon]

Excellent at bat by Reyes---makes Kuo throw lots.
His groundout draws 1st blood.
1-0 Mets.


And LoDuke with the ground rule double!
He spanked that ball.

Reyes didn't make it pretty but, Chavez the "leadoff" hitter was driven by Hosey the "#3" hitter...

[metirish]

great, Sealy is warming up in the pen.

[Willets Point]

Dodger bullpen warming up in the 3rd. I likes it!

That is nice. It would be better to see him on the mound. Real soon.

[A Boy Named Seo]

That K of Beltran was Kuo's 61st pitch. It would've been nice to get another run and maybe get him the hell out of the game there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

="vtmet"] ="Hillbilly"]Shinjo was better than expected, so was Yoshii. but the point of what I was getting at, the guys that we scouted and signed were either marginally good, or a disappointment...these other teams have come up with guys that have made a difference...look at the Kaz/Iguchi comparison, Kaz was much higher rated than Iguchi...yet Kaz did little positive, Iguchi's been solid 2 years in a row...

Let's not talk about these other teams. Plenty of teams have scouted and invested in foreign professional talent that hasn't succeeded. The Mets are here because a lot of decisions have been successful.

Did you see that ball clear Lofton's head? Young Lofton gets to that and squares his shoulders back to the infield. So does the current Carlos Beltran.

This team has Kenny Lofton in center and Marlon Anderson in left. I'm happy with the Mets' choices right now.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Beltran's out in front a lot. Same deal last night.

The good news is, he's still judging the strike zone pretty well and is able to get on base, but he's going to need to get his timing down ASAP.

I predict it will happen at Dodger Stadium. What's the deal with Beltran at Shea?

[Zvon]

I agree with all of ya---lets get in thier bullpen ASAP.

Nomar with the infield hit--but---looks like he came up lame.
Wouldnt mind seein him head to the showers as well.

]I predict it will happen at Dodger Stadium. What's the deal with Beltran at Shea?

Ask Soupcan.

[Guest Hillbilly]

We have long memories in the pool.

[Guest Rotblatt]

The ump is being consistent.

Use it, Tommy!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I repeat. Isn't Martin wearing Hershiser's number?

I guess it shouldn't surprise me, but it do.

Way to swinng 3-0, silly boy.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Thanks for swinging away rookie!

[Guest Rotblatt]

Yes!

Way to work around it, Tommy.

Yea-tru. I can deal with it if he's consistantly sucky.

When I see something like Beltran not being aware that the fly to him was out number three---I start to worry.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

] Isn't Martin wearing Hershiser's number?

YUP.

That is strange

[Zvon]

[metirish]

Damn ,Wright nearly took one out, Drew with a nice catch.

[metirish]

Fuck, Floyd nearly took one out...damn wind.

[Guest Rotblatt]

How the fuck was that not a home run!!!!

He fucking crushed it!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

How did that not hit the scorebaord?

[Guest Hillbilly]

I thought both wright and cliff had it, but then again I'm as huge homer.

[Elster88]

Floyd murdered that ball. That's Shea Stadium and a breezy Flushing night for you.


Breezy Flushing Nights could be the name of a soft-core porn movie.

[Zvon]

OMG!
I didnt think Wrights was gonna go but I thought Floyds was gonna hit the freakin scoreboard.
Both fall short.
Yow!

[Guest KC]

I almost prematurely bang pow'd ... that would have been embarassing.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I was up out of my seat for Cliff's. That looked like a no-doubter to me.
