We beat Peavy back on July 17th for our only win of that series out in Sandy Eggo. El Ducky tossed a 7-inning 2-hitter and we got to Peavy for 3 runs over 6 then smacked the pen around for 4 mainly against the since departed Royce Ring

Good guys stealing up a storm against the Pads backup catcher

[Guest Mendoza Line]

...and get nothing to show for it after Beltran K's and Delgado flies to left. Ouch.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Through Delgado's legs, Castillo can't find the handle, and it's 3-zip Padres.

4-zip as Cameron forgets that he's supposed to strike out in this situation. Milton Bradley makes a game slide past DiFelice and gives a shoutout to the ump for calling him safe.

This is gettling less and less pretty.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

And Reyes makes things a little better by starting a nice DP at short.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Reyes steals third and knocks Roger Cedeno out of the club record book. Not sure why he needed to steal third with 2 out and Beltran up, but what the heck.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Beltran gets the good guys right back into the ballgame.

Mota couldn't stink any more than he does.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

There can't be any way Mota's on the postseason roster!

[bmfc1]

Here's Joe Smith's numbers from NO... it looks like he's getting it together:

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I'm not one to moan and groan too much about the Mets, but if we're gonna
moan and groan let's moan and groan some in the direction of Delgado.

[Valadius]

Congratulations Jose Reyes on breaking the Mets single-season stolen base record!!!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Milledge dons that golden sombrero thingy.

[Gwreck]

Lots of groaning Delgado's way.

Even a tiny bit towards Beltran. He's hot, but when we had bases loaded, 1 out he didn't get anyone in.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

The Golden Sombrero Kid gets a pass for tonight. All part of growing up.

Delgado gets plenty of groans at bat and in the field.

Mota needs to get tested for performance inhibiting drugs.

Jeff Conine - professional (pinch) hitter

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Welcome to the Mets, Jeff Conine.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hey, I like this Conine kid! Welcome to the Mets!

[Elster88]

Dammit Jose, don't look at the ball when you're running.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'd say Castillo is fitting in nicely!

[Elster88]

Blum drops the pop-up but forces Castillo out at second.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Why was that not an infield fly rule out?

Only one runner could be forced out

Thanks!

[Elster88]

Ummmm, I'm officially excited.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I believe! I believe!

Never say die, folks.

Oh, wait. Delgado's up.
