IGT - July 12 - Reds vs. Mets

[Centerfield]

I don't remember being this impatient for a baseball game. I'd like to see Milledge and Gotay in the starting lineups.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Me too.

Sorry, didn't see this one had started. If someone wants to delete the other, I'd be grateful.

(on edit): Already done, wow.

CF's wish comes true.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I like that lineup mixture. In my mind, I've pretty much written off Alou at this point and I'm
pulling big time for Lastings to make the most of this next opportunity.

[nymr83]

I still think Alou may contribute in September (and hopefully October) but I hope for a situation where Milledge or an outside player is producing so well that Alou and Green are fighting each other for ABs.

Watch us get shutout.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Not gonna happen!

Reyes and Gotay lead off the first with back-to-back homers.

Mets 2, Reds 0 after 1.

[metirish]

El Duque walked the pitcher to load the bases and Hatteberg made him pay,game tied at two.

Green looks very awkward trying to make a play on two balls tonight.

Is Keith auditioning for the hitting coach job?

[metirish]

Dugue gets a hit then steals second....

Reyes and Gotay make Mets history tonight ,their back to back first inning home runs to start the game were a first in Mets history.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Bizzaro-world ... OHern steals a base, advances to third on a wild pitch that
almost hit Reyes on a ball four ... Reyes picked off loafing at first.

Let's get on the balls of our feet, gentlemen.

[nymr83]

Gotay drives in Milledge, who scored all the way from 1st on a single (he was running on the pitch)

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Bad play in center, nice slide by Lastings on that play.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

They've shown the replay 6 times and I still haven't seen Milledge touch home plate.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Home plate blue owes us anyways, but I think he got a finger or two on it.

[seawolf17]

This Reyes kid can fly. I guess that's why they call him the Dominican Ichiro Suzuki.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Feliciano 1-2-3's the top o' the 8th with under ten pitches. Still 3-2, good guys.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Stanton Stanton, he's our man
If he can't fuck up, no one can

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Those black brims on the Reds caps suck. I like the look of the unis otherwise. Don't mind the font at all.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

DegadoDuca fuck up with 2nd & 3rd, they walk Green to set up Thrilledge.

Let's watch.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Lastings up with the bases loaded, still 3-2 in the bottom of 8th.

Oh, the drama ....

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

BooooOoOOOoooO

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Ten over .500!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

All in all today was a good start to the second half of the season.

[metirish]

nymr83...love the new avatar...

[nymr83]

thanks metirish

nice to start the 2nd half with a W, though again the offense scored a couple and then sat back on their asses hoping it would be enough, maybe thats just my perception ofthings but they seem to do that alot.

[Centerfield]

For the record, I don't think I'm being given enough credit here. I call for Milledge and Gotay to be in the lineup and look what happens. One of them drives in 2 runs, including a HR...and the other hustles around the bases with the winning run.

I should be swimming in praise right now.

Hell, I should be given a non-descript coaching role.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Too bad they already hired an Offensive Invigorator.
