IGT 8/22 - Mets v Padres

[seawolf17]

Frig.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Damn. That was the ugliest strikeout ever.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Groans for Delgado. Major groans.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Infield fly only applies with two or three forced runners. There wer two runners, but only one was forced.

[Elster88]

Who cares that we lost!! That 3-run ninth gave us a club record 10 straight games scoring 5 runs or more!!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Easier not to care when the Phils and Braves lose.

I ain't gonna harp on it, but Delgado looks like a third of his former self.

[metirish]

I'd be scared shitless to meet the Padres in the post-season,Peavey seems to be exactly they type of dominating pitcher that the Mets don't have,don't get me wrong I would have faith in whoever the Mets had going against Peavey but he'd be scary to possibly face twice in a series.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nobody is a bargain in the post-season. If you asked me who I wanted to go up against last year, I'd have answered St. Louis before you were done with the quesiton.

The two teams match up well and it'd be a heckuva series.

Most offputting thing in this series has been Wagner back to nibbling against good righties. Most gratifying thing has been getting to their league-leading pen and particularly that running-on-fumes Hall-of-Fame closer. His strikeout of Delgado was on three junk pitches down-and-away, none in the zone and none cracking 77 miles per hour.

It'll be a crackling rubber match tonight, and a good time for Tom Glavine to show his quality.
