7/20 late start IGT

[Guest martin]

i am gonna claim a small sample size bias on both those dudes. plus anderson is a proven pinch hitter. and easley and gotay have things covered at 2b.

[Guest Edgy DC]

For the rest of the night, Marlon.

[metirish]

Anderson played a lot of second.

move Anderson to 2B -- although a Gotay/Anderson combo won't exactly give the greatest defense in the world.

[nymr83]

radio reporting fractured right tibia in the leg for valentin.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bad news on Valentin.

[Guest cleonjones11]

Gotay can handle the load. K.C never should have given up on him....Andy Tracy?

[nymr83]

who gets the call from AAA? Tracy? Ledee? Johnson? maybe Tatis?

I didn't want to be right.

Easley off the bereavement list most likely.
Maybe somebody else if he still needs a few more days but it can only run for another 3 or 4 days max.

Not to mention that Alou may be ready by Tuesday

[nymr83]

good timing for roster reasons i guess...and now we can stop worrying that Valentin's '08 option will kick in.

[Guest Edgy DC]

They can bring up anyone they want, plus they have Easley and Alou about to be activated. Nothing to worry about unless you are Cleon.

I can't see why anyone would be worried that his option would kick in. If it vested, it would be because he played well enough and stayed healthy enough to deserve it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

For a guy without much range, Gotay gets down the line.

[metirish]

Perez gets picked of trying to steal second,to end the inning no less.

[DocTee]

Please no more Anderson Hernandez. ever.

[DocTee]

Beimel tortures lefties-- absolutely owned Bonds this past weekend.

[DocTee]

Something like half of all Dodger IP since the AS Break have been thrown by their bullpen-- this is looking good.

[metirish]

Ollie has been great,striking out guys looking all night....

Selig has ordered him traded to the San Fran opponent every series, offered to pay air-fare and living expenses in every city.

Gary just mentioned 35 by the starters and 31 for the pen.

[nymr83]

hahaha Reyes scores on a bad throw to first, Anderson was just trying to bunt him over.
Anderson reaches on the error

Beltran smacks the first pitch!

4-1 Mets!

[metirish]

Just crazy how a game can change...

[nymr83]

2:20 so far and its bottom 8...could have been alot worse with such a late start.

[nymr83]

great night for Perez, now lets hang on and get him the W

[nymr83]

Mets Win!

goodnight.

Thanks Edgy..starting to open a little room on the division..cool beans...

[Guest Edgy DC]

A late game-breaking homer by Beltran and Wagner nails it down. I'd've liked to have seen that.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Crashed in the 2nd inning last night: Cat woke me up in the bottom of the 8th.
