Oh, for X's sake, Braves-Mets IGT 4/20/07

[Guest iramets]

These two teams are also playing tonight.

[Guest iramets]

Renteria out, 5-3

[Guest iramets]

"Larry, Larry" two run HR. Braves 2-0.

[Guest iramets]

Pelfrey fans Francouer to get the side out.

2-0, top of the first.

Maybe this "Larry, Larry" taunt isn't working?

Mets go quietly in the bottom, still 2-0.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I take full blame for the poor start. If only I had gotten the KTE thread up before the top of the first inning. Poor Pelfrey knew not what awaited him.

Now, with the knowledge of what they are up against, I feel confident that the Mets will come back from this deficit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two Jones on and two out. Cowboy up, Mike.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ground rule double. Not the plan.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Beltran shatters the perfect game.

Shatters it.

[Willets Point]

Looks like the Braves are back in command. 2006 was nice.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'd have preferred Newhan whack one off the wall there but I'll take a walk.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let's show some Mettle.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We're deader than Kitty Carlisle.

Deader than the crane pool forum

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Sit down, McCann, you're excused.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ugh, George Bamberger rolls in his grave.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Jeez, Feliciano walks in a run, Burgos walks in a run, Burgos WP's another
one in ...

[Guest Kid Carsey]

[Guest iramets]

The radio guys were yamnering before about Willie's desire to put Burgos into tough spots, but if that's the case I gotta question this in principle. You want a rookie who tosses fat pitches like an old lady in the park tosses stale bread to the pigeons to get experience--in games against your best division rivals? Why?

Or as I like to say WTF? Is this somehow smart? "Let's pitch this rookie in this particular game, because if he succeeds we'll have a star?" Yeah, and if he pitches like the nervous and inexperienced rookie he is, you'll have a fucking trainwreck.

Does Burgos have pictures of naked Willie and the sheep?

[Willets Point]

Does Burgos have compromising pictures of Willie or something?

[Willets Point]

Damnit Ira, you edited that in while I was writing!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Who would you put in, ira? And why?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hey LoDuca -- BOO!!!!

[Willets Point]

Someone who's not walking the ballpark.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hudson's on the other team.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Sorry, my target for my question wasn't clear. I go after that stale bread
like a pigeon and I get all excited.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Last chance for Streaky McStreaker coming here in the 9th. Hopefully he extends it with a 7-run homer.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I hope the streak ends, I'm sick of hearing about it and whether or not it is one.

He can start a new one tomorrow with 4-4, 7 rbi game.

[Willets Point]

If this game can be redeemed in any small way, it will be my joy in the image of Andruw (sic) Jones flopping on his belly while the ball bounces several feet away.

[Willets Point]

Hey, it's Mets' history at least.

[Willets Point]

Wright takes out his anger on Johnson.
