IGT 4/24 - Rockies @ Mets

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Can't be done Edgy because Easley's home run was off the charts.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

The man had a 3-homer game against Atlanta last season. He was born to be a Met.

metirish - "That was sweet,I have noticed that Wright doesn't look all that happy greeting his mates after they get a big hit.....he seems lost in thought....."

Probably thinking, I remember when I use to do that. There is still time for Wright to get a big hit tonight.

David Wright suffering from teenager-esque angst?

[Guest GYC]

More crow, now for Schoeneweis.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Maybe it's been Wax-Sculpture David suiting up this whole time.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This is the Schoeneweis they meant to sign.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I had mentally resigned myself to a loss and was stunned when Easley hit that homer.

Now Beltran is batting with Lo Duca the winning run on first.

Vanis takee!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Oops, make that Endy at first. Lo Duca leaves for the pinch runner.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Prediction: the pinch-running assignment by Endy pays off when Ramon hits the game-winner two innings or so down the road.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Cohen thinks that Affeldt is struggling because of problems with his c-word.

[Batty31]

Now it's up to Mr Wrong

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice way to grind out the walk.

[Willets Point]

A walk for Wright. Getting on base won't count for much in this situation but it keeps the inning alive.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wright walks.

Hopefully Moises ends it here, but if he gets out, I wonder if he gets double-switched out of the game since Endy is currently in the lineup.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Wright really battled Affeldt to earn that walk. Of course, a hit would have been nicer.

At least now the Mets get a hot hitter to the plate. Come on Moises, I have faith in you.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He might. On the other hand, Scott Schoeneweis may easily have another inning or so in him.

Make it a moot point, Moises.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Schoeneweis is still in the game, but the double-switch did happen.

Endy's in left, Castro hitting in Alou's slot.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Now Schoeneweis is out-the-game.

He gets the first out and here comes Joe Smith.

Smith will be due to bat third in the bottom of the inning.

Who's left in the pen? Burgos. Sele. Anyone else?

[Frayed Knot]

Plenty of pen left: Smith, Sele & Burgos -- but just Newhan on the bench unless I'm missing someone.

Is Feliciano available?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Smith due up third. Bad switch.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Green leads off with a walk. Valentin bunts him over.

Ron Darling wanted him to bunt.

I didn't.

Now let's see what Newhan can do.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hey, look! It's Bob Apodaca!

I wonder if he's shaken hands with Jerry Grote lately.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice reference.

Exie Tom Martin up in the pen.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Thank you balky.

Put it to the sky, Newhan.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm envisioning a single and realizing that I don't know much about the OF arms ... but now the balk brings the arms into play on a fly ball!!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Spier forgets to let go of the ball on the pitch. Green balked to third with one out.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I don't like the sac bunt there. You now have to take Smith out and burn your last bat on the bench.

Hopefully, Newhan will serve me a big steaming platter of crow.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Newhan goes down swinging for the second out. Damn and I was hungry.

Victory stands 90 feet away in the person of Shawn Green. Come on Jose.
