8/9/07 Mets-Braves IGT - A Nooner

[Frayed Knot]

Maine vs Hudson
Most likely rearranged 'DGANG' lineups to be announced soon.

But on to the important stuff:

Did anyone hear last night when Gary announced that "The Official Game Time Temperature" (a sponsored spot of course) of 93 degrees was the highest at Shea since six years ago in early August when it was 98 at first pitch?

And I'm thinking ... 'Hey I remember that game' -- 98 degrees on it's way to 104 IIRC -- and I bet several others here remember it also.

In fact, I believe it was six years ago Today.

Things that will be said and heard today....most important game of the year(so was last night),a must win game if ever there was one,Maine must step up today,gotta jump on Hudson early.....

[Benjamin Grimm]

Castro instead of Lo Duca and Anderson instead of Milledge, but otherwise they're pretty much putting the A-team out there on a day game after a night game.

[nymr83]

Castro is the A-Team.
I'm annoyed that Milledge is sitting for Anderson in the rubber game against the Braves, can't he sit tommorow against FLA instead?

[Willets Point]

Good, because this is a "Must Win!"

[Guest sharpie]

Anderson has been decent against Hudson (4-for-12) but he was 9-for-26 with 2 homers against Smoltz -- why not start him in that game instead?

[DocTee]

Agreed. I hope Maine steps up today and the offense jumps on Hudson early.

[Guest holychicken]

Why is castillo bunting there? Was he bunting for a hit? So frustrating that Reyes takes some pitches and then castillo goes up and gets out on the first pitch.

[Guest holychicken]

Of course the sac bunt results in a run. . . go wright

[Benjamin Grimm]

It looked like a three-run homer off Alou's bat, but on the replay it showed that, had it not been caught, it probably would have hit near the top of the left field wall.

But that ball really jumped off the bat.

Marlon singles and says "Shut up, both a youse."

[Centerfield]

Gamecast makes it seem like the baserunners are hopping really high when on base.

[Frayed Knot]

I think it's safe to say that this lineup has missed Alou's bat over the last two months.

[duan]

i was just about to post the same thing.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, getting him back has been more of a boost than I had been expecting.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Here's to Moises, gents. The Moises we paid for.

[metirish]

I always had faith in him,thought it was a master stroke by Omar.

[duan]

sac fly in that situation is ok by me. I hate the way gameday works there where it just says run(s) and you automatically assume there's a f'in 3 run dinger.
A sac fly then seems like SUCH a relief.

[Frayed Knot]

Milledge PH-ing for Anderson who apparently rolled over on his wrist trying to make a catch.

4-3 GO

Doesn't sound good.

You're more optimistic than I am, Duan.
