IGT, 9/21, vs. Miami

Prediction: Reyes tries to steal home.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Here's your chance to be a hero, Carlos. Let's bust this game wide open.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

That's what I'm talkin' bout. Beltran singles home Reyes and Castillo.

Come on Alou.

6 un-earned runs scored by the Mets.

The offense is holding it's end of the deal by taking advantage of FLA mistakes

[Willets Point]

If you look out the window on your left you'll see the rare base hit with RISP and 2 outs. Admire its lovely plumage. Once you've see one, you'll want to see more.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Just peeked at the score. Yay!

Even if Philly wins, I'm okay if we only reduce the magic number by 1.

[Guest Edgy DC]

But if Phillie loses, the psychological edge is lost.

[Benjamin Grimm]

56 pitches for Pedro through three.

I'd like to see him get a few quick innings. I'd love for him to get 7 innings in.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The Marlins deeply need got get to the Mets' pen, down by three, with Pedro with a high count, and Olsen swings 3-1?

Ha!

I watched about 20 seconds of that video and had to stop it. Is it Queen?

[Guest Edgy DC]

None other, my mascot brother.

If David Newhan takes a day off to observe the holiday, and the Mets had no intention of using him anyway, is the holiday truly observed?

[Zvon]

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

LoDuca playing the role of rally starter. Okay, someone needs to finish what he started.

Heck, can he convert Mota to Judiasm by the sixth inning?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm telling you folks, since coming back from the DL, Lo Duca has been hitting.

It's being healthy, but I think he's also been liberated by hitting at the bottom of the order, and now he's no longer focused on right field and he's pulling like tractor.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

OK, which Met snuck into Dolphin Stadium last night and did something foul to the Marlins' gloves?

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hit it to Miggie.

Part of it's the conditions.

Part of it's that they've been a bad fielding team all year.

Part of it's that Miggie is particularly brutal, and has been for most of his career.

[Gwreck]

Big hit for Jose-Jose-Jose!

[TransMonk]

Another 2 out RISP hit. Another 2 unearned runs.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

MGIM - "Heck, can he convert Mota to Judiasm by the sixth inning?"

Thanks for the chuckle. Jose, thanks for the ribbies.

[Willets Point]

If you just listen to the crowd, it sounds like they're at Shea.

[TransMonk]

Nats creeping back into it. They cut the Phillie lead from 5 to 3.

[Zvon]

In Washington Charlie M was doin his damnest to get tossed out by the home plate ump on a reversed call concerning a hit by pitch.

And it was just so kool to see a heated argument with an ump where no one got the thumb.

6-3 Phils there.

Here Reyes shows where his head is at : in the game.
I hope so anyway--he singles in 2 but is out at second.

How'd that go down?

I selfishly dream that this team hangs around Miami for a few years, unable to find a buyer, operating on austerity, abandoned by their fans, and becoming a home-away-from home for the Mets as transplanted New Yorkers dominate the Mets games.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Get Carlos off the field NOW!!!!

[Willets Point]

Pray for Beltran.
