IGT - Mets at Brewers 7/31 - Win #300, Take 1

[G-Fafif]

3-6-3 DP...obviously Castillo's soothing presence is the key.

[Willets Point]

Deeeeeeeeee-Peeeeeeeeeeee.

Glavine coulda done that.

I was blessed to be present at Tom Seaver's 300th win, and it was wonderful to see him go all the way.

Then I was in Detroit for one of the games when the bastard Clemens went for 300th. He departed early with a lead, and Jeter and Soriano threw the ball around and allowed the Tigers -- enroute to 119 losses -- to tie the game, which went 17 innings before the vile ones finally won. Pretty much a bad day all around.

Here's hoping our pen and D can get it done for Tommy.

[G-Fafif]

Craig Counsell causes trouble. How has he never been a Cardinal?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Are the boys wearing gray or black tonight?

[G-Fafif]

Mets in gray.

[G-Fafif]

Out of the seventh, Gary says "Glavine can go ice his arm," which sounds like a bit of an insult if you don't know the context.

Glavine to Cohen: Go soak your head.

[Gwreck]

With the DP, Glavine's final line is 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 2 K, 5 BB.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

How about a few insurance runs team? It would sure make me feel better and it would probably help Glavine's digestion.

[G-Fafif]

Delgado is mandated to homer at once.

[G-Fafif]

Delgado does not recognize what is mandatory and strikes out.

[Gwreck]

At least Moises is taking some pitches against Turnbow.

[G-Fafif]

Alou swings at none of the first four pitches he sees, somehow. Moishe on first.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This guy should not have been able to bust Delgado inside like that.

[G-Fafif]

Shawn Green keeps it real.

Real pathetic.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

G: >>>Gary says "Glavine can go ice his arm," which sounds like a bit of an insult if you don't know the context.<<<

People watching who didn't know the context wouldn't care.

I'd be surprised if Glavine left the bench but I missed a few minutes and
don't know if he's on it.

The Mets offense seems determined to make us sweat this one out.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Looks like this one is going to depend on our pen because the offense sure isn't going to do anything.

If I see Schoenweis even thinking about warming up, I'm gonna scream.

[Gwreck]

Heilman back out for a 2nd inning. With Smith in AAA, Feliciano struggling recently and Mota being subpar all year, I wonder if we really needed a setup man a lot more than a secondbaseman...

Nah, let him sweat it out. It'll be the closest he'll get to going 9 and he'll know that his pitching made the difference.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Willie has buried Schoeneweis deeper than Godzilla recently. And that's after a month of good pitching.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A solid reliever wouls have been my prefernce.

Heilman needs to get through the meat and potatoes of the Brewers line up. Hardy and Fielder both due up this inning.

[Gwreck]

Mota and Feliciano are getting ready.

Edit: Gary suggests Feliciano is getting ready for Fielder.

[G-Fafif]

There really is a playoff atmosphere to this game.

That is the Mets aren't scoring.

[Willets Point]

You guys make it sound like we're losing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Willie's making pitching changes!

[Willets Point]

Why did the injury prevent him from making pitching changes? No slings on the field?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

The whoa is us vibe in this thread has me leavin' ...

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Warren Wallace the GEICO race-car kid = funny.
The Verizon Fios kid = Back over him in the driveway please.

[Gwreck]

Indeed. He lost the sling a couple of days ago but it still looks like he might not be able to signal for a righty.
