IGT 08/25, Dodgers at Metropolitans

[Frayed Knot]

"Radio team couldn't make enough of Wagner not being up in the ninth"

TV crew - sideline reporter Ken Rosenthal specifically - reported that Wagner feels spent from the last few outings and is getting the day off.
So it's backup closer Aaron Heilman to the rescue.

[nymr83]

Heilman on for the 9th.
Wagner has pitched in 2 of the last 3 and 3 of the last 5... i'm suprised he is unavailable.
edit- and yeah, bringing him in to a 4 run game last night was pointless

[Elster88]

I'm nervous.

[Frayed Knot]

Open book - insert game - close book.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hah! You got nervous for nothing.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hoorah! Big win for the good guys.

One at-bat does not a season make. But all I want is big playoff hits. He can go oh for September as long as October is ok.

Cuz let's face it. The Braves and Phillies suck.

Thought McCarver missed a golden opportunity in the early going when Kenny Albert asked who his "nicest teammate ever" had been (after such a complement was bestowed on Jeff Conine by Moises Alou).

T-Mac named a few guys, but left off that list was his play-by-play partner of 16 years (and the third inning), Ralph Kiner.

Good to see/hear him again, nonetheless.

McCarver also declared the Mets the "base stealingest" team in the bigs.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

San Diego defeated the Phillies by a score of 4-3. All of the Padres runs were the result of solo home runs (Cameron, Bradley, Kouzmanoff, and Sledge).

The Cardinals just finished off the Braves by a score 5-4. Jason Isringhausen struck out Andruw Jones with runners on second and third to end the game.

The Mets positions seems to be improving by the day.
