Where the hell has this incarnation of Delgado been for the past freaking month???

[nymr83]

Feliciano is mowing them down, his 3rd straight strikeout looking.

He was on a tear before he got hurt.

Make that 5!

Beautiful!

Nice job Pedro ... but we only play 9 innings in this league. (see him run towards the dugout like there was more to go?)

i doubt it. as far as i know that the only base coach to ever die, how many others have been seriously injured? figure between the NL, AL, all the minors, and the independent leagues there are over 25,000 professional baseball games in the united states every year, and one guy has died. you aren't that safe riding your bike and most adult riders don't wear a helmet either.

[Gwreck]

Wow.

One of the best victories this season. Just great.

[bmfc1]

PUT IT IN THE BOOKS! Get job (the pick-offs notwithstanding). Lots of Schaefer to go around but "big ups" to Pelfrey. FOX gave Beltran the POG but we know that it was Pelfrey.

[Frayed Knot]

An additional perk to thumping the Braves - hopefully 3 times after tomorrow - is that we can put ourselves in the position to root FOR them when they play the Phils next week.

[bmfc1]

Did you see that Feliciano didn't realize that the game was over? He ran off the mound to the dugout. He admitted it on FAN.

[Willets Point]

I will NEVER root FOR the Braves. If the Mets do their job and just keep winning more than they lose, I don't care what the other NL East teams do to each other. What the Mets do or don't do is all that matters.

I guess he doesn't get to finish too many games.

First series win vs. Atlanta this season.

[Valadius]

I wish we'd see more of Feliciano and less of freaking Schoeneweis.

All in all, a great win, from what I could follow. I hate my damn internet connection.

[Gwreck]

Scott Schoeneweis in August:
13G; 10.2 IP; 3.38 ERA; 13 H, 1 BB, 6 K.

The outing against the Phillies on 8/27 was bad, no doubt. He was good-to-very good the rest of the month otherwise.

this boggles my mind.
I guess cause he went only 6...but these days, thats a full days work for a pitcher.
He held em to 1 freakin hit--and its the Braves in the stretch.

My formula gave Beltran the edge too, fwiw.

[metirish]

Didn't see the game but was so thrilled when I checked on the score.


Zvon your kabooms are amazin.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We watched the Tigers* today instead, but caught the end on the radio on the way home. Gotta admire how Pelfrey was able to lower expectations so thoroughly that such a performance like today's seemed unimaginable.

I mean, even Geeked Out Prospect Ballwashers of the Information Superhighway were convinced Pelfrey was a mistake today. They wanted Humber. I wanted Humber. You wanted Humber.

]Francoeur was hit, no question. But he never had been hit previously by Pelfrey, and he later confessed he had feined anger to motivate his teammates.

I heard his teammates feigned caring.
