IGT 09/10, Braves at Mets

[Guest Mendoza Line]

See that - who needs small ball?!?!?

Wright is the man!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

David Wright with a 2-run KABOOM.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

This is a lot more fun than a bunch of ground balls to second.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Moises follows up Wrights blast with a triple. *



*Not a typo. He actually tripled.

[Valadius]

David goes KABOOM!!!

This ties him with Bobby Bonilla for 10th place all-time on the Mets home run list, at 95.

[Valadius]

Alou now has a 15-game hitting streak.

Wright's home run was his 28th of the year, setting a new career high. His two RBIs gives him 353 for his career, tying Lee Mazzilli for 14th all-time on the Mets RBI list.

[Willets Point]

No big whoop.

This is still a Mets win in the making.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Too much extra-contextual stuff distracts from the gamey, where a two-run McCsnn homer puts the Braves a mere run down.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

McCann answers Wright with a 2 run home run for Atlanta.

3-2 Mets as we enter the seventh inning stretch.

[Zvon]

Damn that McCann.

I HATE Braves that are.....really good.

That was about the game, the game the Mets are going to win.

And enough of the cutesy words like gamey.

[Valadius]

In comes Heilman for the eighth.

[Gwreck]

Aaron Heilman = my new hero.

Sorry to play the crank, I wasn't referring to your post.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Heilman with a 1-2-3 inning. A few runs in the home half of the eighth would sure make me feel better when Wagner comes in for the ninth.

[nymr83]

jus got home, looks like a great outing by Perez

[seawolf17]

Pretty catch by Carlos Beltran to end it.

Looks like they fixed Willie Collazo's name on his uni.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

And Wagner gets it done with some help from Beltran. Mets win!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Mets win by a final score of 3-2.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pow. Beltran actually got it done with some help from Beltran.

[Valadius]

Mets win!!!

Unless you're taking the piss.

Zvon Sep 10 2007 07:56 PM

Just saw that catch by Beltraan.

Fun game and my 6th win vs. 0 losses this year at Shea. Don't ask me how I did it. Thought Wright's HR was a sac fly (that was all I was actually hoping for) and that Alou'd tripler was a foul ball. So much for my perspective. Was trying to figure out how many consecutive grounballs to 2nd when LoDuca interupted. Big play: The Pickoff of Hudson. Hudson had to be the very last guy in the Stadium who saw that play unfold. It was like slow motion. Meet the Matts came by. Those guys are funny, or at least look funny. Greg W. Fear came by, and just in time to rescue a conversation between my brother and me that had ground to a halt over our inability to remember what Gin Blossoms song was written by Marshall Crenshaw. We'd recalled all their hits except... Greg came up with it. Though I think he called it: "Till You Hear it from Me." We knew what he meant. Good job. Then as we walked to the 7, guys behind us sung Let's Go Mets Go (teamwork to make the dream work) and we joined in. Good win.

I forgot to mention the most important thing. National anthem sung by Randy Jackson of Zebra. That is the 2nd time I've been at the same Met game when Randy sings the NA. Both times I rooted for him to break into "who's behind the door" but he didn't.

Centerfield Sep 11 2007 08:47 AM

Is there a time delay in Val's apartment?

Edgy DC Sep 11 2007 09:02 AM

I think the music world needs a fourth Randy Jackson. That way, they could tour as the Randy Jacksons.

Valadius Sep 11 2007 10:52 AM

CF - kind of. My internet speed is pretty much pre-historic, and I'm trying to get Comcast to come back and fix it. "High-Speed Internet" it is not.

Edgy DC Sep 11 2007 12:06 PM

I think Randy Jackson of the Jacksons is your drummer, along with Idol-dog on drums and Zebra-boy on guitar.
