IGT 09/07/07 Astros @ Mets

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Meanwhile, in the City of Brotherly Love, the Marlins are leading the Phillies 6-3 through 8 innings.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Cooper raises the white flag and sends in defensive replacements for Biggio, Berkman, Lee, and Loretta. Might as well rest his stars so they're fresh for the stretch run...oh, right. Okay, Willie you might want to consider relieving one or two of the regulars.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Willie counters with Gomez for Beltran, Chavez for Alou, Gotay for Wright and DiFelice for LoDuca. I wouldn't mind seeing him get either Reyes or Castillo out of there while he's at it.


Edited to include Gotay in for Wright, which JD pointed out.

[seawolf17]

Then the broadcast team (or the Mets' media notes) missed that Joe Smith AB the other night.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The Goat is in for Wright. I thought CarGo was hurt or something.

What good is an IGT if these things are not explained? Guess I have to open more windows and do some detective work.

With the bases loaded, Wandy bounced a potential double play ball up the middle. Reyes booted it, but it went right to Castillo who turned the double play.

It was bounced softly enough that it was no guarantee that they'd turn it, and they might have turned it faster on the boot than otherwise.

The game's other highlight, with the Mets up 5-2, was Milledge catching a shallow liner off of Biggio's bat, and rather than coming up cool, pulled it out of his glove shaking it to show everybody --- "Did you see that?! Did you see what I did?!"

Gold.

What's Alomar got to do to get into one of these game thingies?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Edgy - "What's Alomar got to do to get into one of these game thingies?"

Go Tanya Harding on DiFelice?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Marlins aid the Mets cause by dispatching "the team to beat" by a final of 6-3.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bitches always told me I only got into the game because my dad was the coach. Alomar proves that guarantees nothing.

HAhaHAHA

I got sidetracked (this happens when I open other windows ,....and it frightens me) and last I saw it was 5-2.

Great description of what you described Edgy, thank you.

Baseball 2night, here I come.
I gotta see those things

[seawolf17]

And that'd be a typo (COLAZZO) on the back of Willie Collazo's jersey. Someone fire Charlie Samuels.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

My first look at Willie Collazo (pronounced Coy-Yazzo by Gary). Little bit of Feliciano in him.

Oh, and make him the closer.

Great catch! $$ for a screen cap.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Collazo doesn't mind pitching in a non-save situation and closes it out for the Mets win.


It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
Getting so much better all the time

[Valadius]

Fantastic win!!!

Easy money.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

You rock. I owe you $$.

[Zvon]

="seawolf17"] Easy money.

WOW.

Was he on that!? Or what?

amazin', amazin', amazin', amazin', amazin', amazin', amazin', amazin', amazin', amazin', amazin'.

(one for each run scored by Mets)

[Guest Edgy DC]

They made an Italian out of Puerto Rican.

[metirish]

My wife tells me that LL is pronounced as J in Puerto Rico,so it's pronounced Cojazo.

[Zvon]

I didnt notice this at first.

Man, the merchandising maniacs are fast.

Gil Hodges was honored tonight in a pregame ceremony as he was inducted into the US Marines Sports Hall of Fame. Gil's widow Joan was present, along with several Mets (Seaver, Harrelson, Swoboda, Kranepool, Ed Charles). Nice pregame ceremony. Seaver (who is also in the US Marines Sports Hall of Fame) spoke about Hodges, calling him the "most influential person" on his baseball career.

--
Gomez was called up today. He had been playing in NOLA the last couple of days.
--
Reyes was *really* excited to have that triple. Looked like he knew it had been quite a while since his last big hit.

--
Endy made a spectacular running catch in the top of the 7th. Beltran (who had also run towards the ball) was surprised that Endy had gotten there, gave him a nice pat on the back afterwards.

--
I'd been to a lot of games this year but this was the first real ass-whoopin I've seen all year.

[Guest Edgy DC]

You go, Cowbell Man.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Mets by the Numbers would like to know whether the name was spelled properly on the black road jersey Wednesday.

[Lundy]

It was.

[metirish]

Outstanding job Lundy and Wolf.

[Guest Edgy DC]

*Applause.*

Fines for Samuels.
