IGT 8/5/07 - Mets at Cubs - Glavine Goes for Win #300 Redux

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It looks like it will be Sosa coming in to pitch the 8th.

Personally, I wouldn't mind a quick 1-2-3 inning.

What the heck happened to Castillo?

[Gwreck]

Luis Castillo is hurt. Helped down the stairs from the dugout by the trainer. Guess he strained something running home on Delgado's double? Or on the steal of 3rd?

Gotay in.

Gratuitous shot of Omar and his family with Jeff Wilpon.

[apmorris]

Castillo abdominal strain? on that steal?

[Zvon]

Gotay playing second. Luis helped into clubhouse.

Wonder what happened to Castillo.

Woohoo, Reyes slips and still throws out Lee!
Nice play.

[Gwreck]

Looks like McClelland will take over behind the plate as Marty Foster was injured on the foul off his mask.

[Zvon]

Ump is knocked out of the game.
I wanna say WoW but Ill refrain.

That open mic on meeting with Cub trainer was awsum.
He couldnt see for a little bit?
WoW.

[Frayed Knot]

I like how the ump wanted to stay in cuz it was only affecting his eyesight.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Cool graphic about the 300-game winners. We're one day removed from the anniversary of Seaver's moment.

[Zvon]

Its amazing what anyone behind the plate goes through tho.
If I was hit with a foul like that it would simply take my head off.

And the ump will try to stay in.
Who is this guy? I like him.
Hes a gamer.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Home plate ump, Marty Foster, gets TKO'd by a foul tip to the face mask.

Temporary break in the action while the crew chief suits up to go behind the plate for the final seven outs.

[Zvon]

OK.
One inning to go.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Glavine's wife is getting more camera time than Glavine did.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Foster back behind the plate.

Reyes opens the ninth with a triple.

[Zvon]

mark the date!
I have reached avatar status!
Finally!
Ill create a thread for my acceptance speech.

Alls i can say right now is....drumroll plz..
WOW

[Frayed Knot]

Memo to Dempster: We own your ass

[Gwreck]

Joe Morgan prattling on about how Wagner will come in to preserve the 300th, etc etc.

Maybe, but it's also because he hasn't pitched in a couple games, there's a day off tomorrow, etc...he'd probably be pitching anyway.

[Zvon]

Reyes scores .

Very nice.
Delgado has 4 ribbys and tagged that liner.

Yea, definately bring in Wags.
This isnt just any game here.

[Frayed Knot]

Delgado hit the snot outta that Sac "Fly".

There are some small signs lately that he's starting to come around. Not enough of them yet, but they're coming around a little more frequently.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Delgado absolutely smoked that line drive out to right field. Unfortunately it was right at Murton. Still it easily plates Reyes with the Mets 8th run of the night.

8-3 Mets lead with only 3 outs to go.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Jon Miller, any idea if Glavine's family is there tonight?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Angel Pagan flies out to Green for the first out.

[Zvon]

!!!

[Frayed Knot]

Good job boys.
Keep on taking those 2-of-3s

[apmorris]

[metsmarathon]

yay

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice shots of Paulie and the game ball, Glavine with his kids!

[Gwreck]

5th straight series we've either won or tied. I like.

[Zvon]

Thank You ESPN for taking a break from the Barry Bonds show to display this game, and especially that last after game lil celebratory hug fest culminating with the Glavine family.

very nice.

[TransMonk]

Congrats to Tommy!

Great game and pretty decent road trip, especially offensively.

Bring on the Bravos.
