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

[Guest Rotblatt]

Well, fuck.

[Guest Rotblatt]

And again, fuck.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Father raper.

[metirish]

WTF happened,something bad but what....3 run job...granny?

[Guest Rotblatt]

Well, he got out of the inning without allowing any more damage, but we REALLY need a run or two back here.

Top of the order. Let's get it done, boys!

3 run HR by Larry followed by a solo by Tex.

[Willets Point]

God forbid we get a break.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Atta boy, Delgado!

We get one back on a single--Reyes scores from second!

[Willets Point]

Green almost made me wet my pants with delight.

[Frayed Knot]

(Lack of) speed hurting us this inning.

- Delgado's RBI 1B [u:85905bed25]could have[/u:85905bed25] been a double but wasn't

- so Alou 1B (coulda been a 2B) doesn't score Delgado

- and now Green HBP (coulda been a wild pitch) doesn't score anyone

not that speed had anything to do with that last one

[Guest Rotblatt]

Well, one run isn't so terrible, either. We've still got some time, and we're just about into their bullpen--Hudson's at 97 pitches, and he's due up this inning.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The league used to not care about players taking speed before a day game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ramon not showing us some A-Team work there.

[Frayed Knot]

And Hudson hits for himself ... and he bunts a run in.

Yeah, but unfortunately our lack of speed isn't being caused by a lack of speed, it's just the result of a lack of speed.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Ugh. Well, there goes my optimism for this game . . .

[Centerfield]

I hate baseball.

[Centerfield]

I think you have to play IF in there.

[Willets Point]

Elmo and Cookie Monster?

[metirish]

They have the Mets number,just can't beat them,old nemesis Chipper a Met killer again,Mets should have got Hudson,Shurholtz smarter than Omar;

preparing myself for the onslaught in the papers tomorrow,of course I shouldn't read it.

[Centerfield]

Taking a break to eat lunch. Radio on. Time for a ten-run inning.

8th or 9th innings definitely -- and if the runner was only on 3rd definitely also.

But in the 7th, with 3 cracks at offense and the alternative being a GiDP .... eh, I could go either way there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, two more cracks now.

[Centerfield]

My mistake. Ten-run innings come in the bottom of the eighth. Must be next inning.

Maybe it'll be the top of the 8th.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Keith just did a terrible Bob Murphy impression.

[Centerfield]

Even if we can get one run, Wickman is vulnerable. Scratch one across guys.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Too greedy in looking for a ten-spot.

I would've settled for an eight-run eighth.

[Willets Point]

Milledge takes a spilledge to catch the ball.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That came after Green took a face full of sand diving in vain for a foul ball.
