IGT: 4/7/2006 @ Atlanta- Glavine v. Smoltz

[nymr83]

Valentin pops out to Johnson who almost collided with Francoeur, 5-3 middle of the 7th.

[metirish]

Still bags of time to get this game back.

Passing the collection tray for the Carlos Delgado Needs A Bigger Mitt Foundation.

[Frayed Knot]

These throws keep hitting Delgado in a bad spot ... his glove.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, here we go.
I like our chances here: Beltran, Delgado, wright & Alou against Wickman

[Guest iramets]

Hey, don't be so pessimistic--Nymr's on patrol for that bad shit today!!

Can the Mets avoid their first first loss of the year? Can Wright avoid a golden sombrero? Stay tuned....

[Frayed Knot]

Even just tying this up now puts us in a better position in an extra inning bullpen battle

[Zvon]

[nymr83]

Alou pops up the 1st pitch

[nymr83]

Green lines one right into the fuckin glove of wilson

[Frayed Knot]

Dang it!

[metsmarathon]

well, we can still go 161-1...

[Zvon]

Wright steals second--a single will tie it.
Comeon Greenie...

UGHHHHH!

He rips a liner but its hauled in by Braves 1st baseman Wilson.
Nice catch too.

Well, it not like we were gonna win em all.

Have a happy and safe Easter everyone!

Sloppy defense cost the Mets dearly in today's game. The team had been error free in the first four games of the year, but today they dropped the ball, figuratively and literally. In a game in which Smoltz is on the mound for Atlanta and runs are expected to be tough to come by, today's miscues were particularly damaging.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

A few minutes 'til first pitch. Someone else make the thread, I might be bad luck...

I only caught bits of this one but Wright whiffing with 1 out and a guy on third in the 4th(?) inning was a pitiable, game-blowable failure too.
