willie could argue that play where pierre went out of the baseline with the fresh footprints outside the line. this early in the game they really stand out.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Not to pick nits early in an IGT, but Pierre clearly runs out of the runners
box down the first baseline on a grounder to Delgado. Why can't Willie or
Hendo piss in the ump's ear a little by pointing out the fucking foot prints
at the very least?

[Valadius]

You'd think Rickey at least would say something.

[TransMonk]

Milledge Ks for the 7th time in a row. 2 away from the ML record.

I'm pretty sure a RF needs to know how to hit a breaking ball.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I assume the list at "9" has a bunch of people on it but couldn't find it on
a quick google search. They said on the SNY b'cast that Bo Jackson is one.

Let's get Lasting's off the schnide next AB please ....

[TransMonk]

Mets have put together 2 runs through 3 innings against Penny. Reyes scored both and now has 97 on the season.

Perez doesn't look good and has been in jams all night. Luckily, so far he's been able to get out of them.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Disagree with bunting DiFelice there. Sure he might hit into a triple play, but that's about the worst thing that could happen.

And Penny walked 2 guys in a row coming in!

Let him off the hook and we scored jack.

Stupid.

[metirish]

Atlanta DFA Bob Wickman....a shocker....D Wright makes teo brilliant defensive plays in the fifth inning.....

[TransMonk]

Through 7: Mets lead 3-0.

In comes the bullpen. It would be refreshing to see them get 6 outs without incident.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Refreshing indeed .

[TransMonk]

Meanwhile in Philly:

Padres keep up their offensive surge leading the Phils 9-3 and threatening in the 7th.

Atlanta just underway in St. Louis after a rain delay.

[TransMonk]

Refreshing it is not as Sosa loads the bags with 1 out in the 8th.

Pedro in.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Frustrating to watch night in night out ... it's amazing this team has the
best record in the NL.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

It's like a pen-demic. They need our support!

[TransMonk]

I like the offense right now, and the starting pitching has been mediocre at best...but this bullpen is utterly undependable.

Like night and day from last year.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

whew.

Anyone remember that game show called "Whew!"?

[TransMonk]

David's glove saving the day.

The Dodgers only get one out of the bases loaded opportunity.

No...but according to wikipedia, their theme song was composed by Alan Thicke

[Guest Kid Carsey]

No recollection on "Whew".

Mets up by two in the bottom of 8, let's get a dozen insurance runs NOW!!!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nice job by Milledge.

Whew! It was a big deal when they started it. But as I recall, the gameplay was stupid.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Notice Proctor's already grown a chinmat after the MFYs booted him.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

What's up with the "los" on the unis? Just noticed it.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

It's the little-known holiday Fiesta Latina. Have you also noticed the PA announcer is a chick calling out the lineup in Spanish?

[TransMonk]

Lastings Milledge sounds the same in Spanish.

It was on for a summer and I watched it every day. I remembered it as "Phew!" I swear I would've watched hamsters sleeping.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

JD: >>>It's the little-known holiday Fiesta Latina<<<

Negra Modello for everyone!!

[TransMonk]

Wagner is going to make it queasy even with the 4 run lead.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Tying run up, Jeff Kent.

Billy Wagner vs. the Gauntlet of Villians
