Mets v Cards - NLCS Game 2 -- IGT

[Frayed Knot]

Maine vs Carpenter

Small samples in pitcher/batter history to go on here

Beltran: 4/19 plus a walk but w/2 HRs (.211/.238/.526)

Valentin: 1/15 tho w/4 BBs (.067/.263/.067)

Chavez: 0-for-11, 2 Ks

LoDuca: 1 single + 1 double in 6 ABs

Delgado: 1 single + 1 double in 3 ABs

Tucker: 2/9 w/1 HR

Wright: 0/3; Reyes: 1/3

and, unfortunately, our best hitter against Carpenter won't play against him tonight. With a single and a double w/3 RBIs in 2 ABs ... Tom Glavine



Maine faced the Cards just once, in that game where he basically got Pujols-ed to within an inch of his life until the Mets came back to win.

Carpenter V The Mets .

Career vs. Mets: 1-2, 4.24 ERA, 3 starts

Career postseason: 4-0, 2.10 ERA, 5 starts


Remember when Pujols last faced Maine.....7RBI ...

[Willets Point]

I thought the game was at 8 tonight. This is an awfully early start on the IGT.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

It's the pregame show.

Last night was a game the Mets were supposed to win, and they did. I think this one could be called a game the Cards are supposed to win. It'll be big if the Mets can steal it from them.

I plan on tuning in!

[metirish]

Carpenter's road ERA this season is 4.70....Go Mets

[soupcan]

Um, did you guys get permission from Mr. Rogers before starting this thread?

I certainly hope you did.

[metirish]

Yeah I thought Steve was going to do every postseason KTE,IGT and EKG...

I thought you were talking about this guy!

Spezio getting the start over Rolen tonight.

[Gwreck]

Hasn't been announced yet but you can also expect Duncan in for Wilson in left.

Ha! EKG.lol.

We Met fans can be contained.
But we cant be controlled.

Whoever brings the IGT 1st is fine with me.
Hope FK brings the luck, if the Mets should need some.

So,....
an 8:05 (listed) game start really is more like an 8:20 start, isnt it?
I never know, the way TV takes control of the event.

ANOTHER PLANE? WITH A-ROD???

His plane ran off the runway, but he's ok.

Yea--just seein this
Wacky stuff.
Kinda scary too.

[Valadius]

Steinbrenner might go to a John Madden-esque policy for his players now.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Some idiot is going to say that there's a "Curse."

[Zvon]

LMAO!

Great Fri 13th segment/spot there on Fox.
That was funny.

Normally a Friday the 13th game might worry me, but not with Wags bein #13.
That changes everything.
That makes it a lucky day.

[Zvon]

I hope Buck has gum for everybody....................

[Valadius]

Here we go!

[Zvon]

Good start
1-2-3 for Maine.
Nice.

I think if we keep Ekstein from hitting and reaching, we are half way there.
No way can Pujols do it alone.
Even if he drives in 7, we'll drive in 8.

[Valadius]

GOGGLES!!!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hi guys!

I'm at work tonight, but we have a TV and we're entering a slow part of the evening.

Do the A's plan on showing up at some point?

Not for nothing, but next time I'm on a plane, I'm asking if there are any Yankees on board.

[Zvon]

Wow--a single for Reyes-legged into a lead off double.

LoDuke moves him over to third.
Getting Reyes in here would be big.

[Valadius]

Here comes Delgado.

[Zvon]

[Valadius]

CARLOOOOOOOOOOOOS DELGAAAAAAAADOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Awesome!!!!!!

Tiger fans in the newsroom are displeased by my jumping and fist-pumping.

[Valadius]

Let's Go Mets!!!

[Valadius]

WOW!!! Thank you whoever threw that beach ball on the field!!!

[Zvon]

mmmmm.
Wright gets another chance--and walks!

crazy stuff.
