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

[Zvon]

="Kid Carsey"]Z: >>>WOW--Kerry Wood in to pitch for Cubs<<< Oh come on, hardly WOW worthy.

Im easily WOWd.


One bump and Tommys done.

Now--if we dont hold this lead--4ghettaboutIT.
Ill say the opposite of WOW.

[Gwreck]

With the bottom of the order up, an extra day of rest before his next start, and a 4 run lead, I thought Willie gave him too quick of a hook. His pitch count was only 102 at that point, too.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, that's one out past where he got last time ... he just leaves with a bigger lead in this one.


C'mon Mota, I just sang your praises in another thread.
Justify our newly found faith in you.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yikes, first-pitch yips again from Mota...

[Guest Kid Carsey]

They gotta make this thing stick, fans have no dog in this quest for 300 and
neither do the the Mets really in this week of dumb landmarks.

OE: in other words .. let's get it over with already.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Horrible.

Agreed.

The sticky stituation now makes not PHing for Glavine with 1 man on and 1 out even that more stupid.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets bullpen seems determined to make this game exciting. Willie signals for Heilman to relieve Feliciano who had relieved Mota. I hope we don't burn the entire pen finishing out this game.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Heilman gets Theriot to harmlessly fly out to Milledge in centerfield.

Mets lead now 5-3 through 7.

MOM? What's she gotta do with it?

[Frayed Knot]

Castillo & Milledge now 7-for-7 with two walks !!

[Gwreck]

"When the season is over, I'm sure you'll see him stealing bases as well as Reyes does." Joe Morgan on Luis Castillo, top of the 8th.

Morgan = imbecile.

Dont see how we can burn em out when two throw 3 pitches and one throws 7.

But Heilman will probly get the 8th, and he better do the do.
Tho Sosa is up...hmmm.

Castillo with his 4th hit .
Lets get that insurance.
I wanna be able to breath thru the 8th.

7-8. Castillo grounded out to second to end the 2nd inning.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wright and Castillo trying to make the game pen-proof.

[Gwreck]

Wright napping on that double-steal attempt.

Double off the wall for Delgado!!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Zvon - "Dont see how we can burn em out when two throw 3 pitches and one throws 7."

I was thinking only in tterms of this game.

Delgado drives in Castro with a double off the ivy in RCF. 6-3 Mets and still no outs with runners at second and third.

[Zvon]

="DocTee"]ZVON: ]Now--if we dont hold this lead--4ghettaboutIT. Ill say the opposite of WOW . MOM? What's she gotta do with it?

Ha.
I was thinking in terms of reverse and that would make WOW still WOW.
But none of those words will suffice if the Mets dont win this game.

BIG HUGE GIANT double by Delgado and the Mets get one right back.

If Wright followed up on Castillos steal we have had 2.
Ill take one at a time tho.
More please....

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Green has a chance to put the Cubs out of their misery with an extrabase hit.

[Frayed Knot]

This is where you'd want a decent RH hitter to go up for Green vs a LHP and then stay in for defense.
That's what Ben Johnson was hoped to become, or maybe Chip Ambres.
Or even Milledge if Beltran was starting.






* And I just became Rocky Swoboda!!

Delgado's pullin' the ball off the crappy part of the bat and reaching
the ivy is encouraging

hey guys

Hey AP.

Pull up a chair.
Or squeeze in between the Kid and FrayedKnot on the couch there.
History is in the making

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Green strikes out on a breaking ball well outside.

LoDuca delivers a line drive single to left.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Paulie justifies his carping about not playing.

[Zvon]

real nice piece of hitting by Paul.

All runs are big here.
Lastings pops out and Marlon gets a chance to keep it goin.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Two outs as Milledge out on infiled fly rule. Bases juiced for Anderson.

[Frayed Knot]

No Joe, we're not getting Wagner up yet, it's only the 8th inning.



Dang! We were one more hit from blowing that thing open.
