IGT, 9/21, vs. Miami

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crapshit.

[TransMonk]

I make that same move dodging people on the way to the copier everyday. Shake it off, Beltran.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Brian May was a good guitar player ... I think we covered this years ago.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sorry, I missed your post. Crapshit is not a very pleasant prayer.

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.

I've seen a couple Mets games there -- my folks don't live too far away -- and it's kind of like that now.

For all the griping about it, the yard isn't really all that bad of a place to see a game. The sight lines aren't as bad as they are in some multi-purpose stadia.

The atmosphere is the pits, but the arepas -- a Cuban cornbread and cheese treat -- are amazing!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Ahhhh what happened? I'm following at work and the Yahoo game day didn't say anything about it!

[Willets Point]

Hang in there Pedro.

[Willets Point]

Pitcher's best friend.

[Willets Point]

That double play is all the better now.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm assuming by the posts that Beltran got hurt? What happened?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Milledge was out of position on Jake's double.

Beltran did the hokey-pokey turning one way and then another trying to catch a deep fly to the cutout in centerfield. He fucked up his knee. He didn't hit it on anything and he was walking around. He should be fine, but with Beltran he could be day to day for the next 4 years.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hit the warning track in center --- which is 30 feet in some places instead of the standardized ten or so --- at full speed, and took some awkward steps before half bouncing half collapsing against the wall.

Limped off under his own power without bending his knee.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We're official here.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Thanks for the info. We need that guy!

Nice clutch K frm Pedro.

[TransMonk]

Rain is upon us. Hope it rains all night.

We may get our CG from Pedro after all.

[Zvon]

Carp--rain delay.

What will we do,

what will we do?

Hey! I know!

[Guest Edgy DC]

He's done under any circumstances.

Have they figured out how to pull the tarp out in Miami yet?

[Centerfield]

Jason Vargas is pitching against the Cubs. Where is he now anyway? Wouldn't he be a better Schoeneweis?

[Frayed Knot]

Seems to me that while games are frequently (read: almost every day) delayed by rain in Florida that they're rarely rained out or rain shortened. That may be totally incorrect but that's my impression and I'm sticking to it.
IOW, I expect they'll wait forever before calling this one unless some named storm has suddenly appeared in southeast Florida.

[soupcan]

I spent a summer in Sarasota, Florida some years back (many, actually) and as I recall it rained very hard in the middle of the day - every day - for about 45 minutes then cleared up. The same thing happened in the late evening.

[Valadius]

Moises Alou now has a 25-game hit streak.

That's a new Mets record, folks.

[Guest Edgy DC]

No, it's not.

A double-play gets Washington out of the top of the eighth. Two more innings for their retreads to catch Philadelphia's murders row.

[TransMonk]

Rain Delay NL OOTS:

Philly and Washington go to the bottom of 8 at RFK with Philly still leading 6-3. Howard is 4-4 with a HR.

Milwaukee takes the lead in Atlanta 3-1, also going to the bottom of the 8th.

The Cubs won earlier today.

[metirish]

It's a new Mets single season record?....anyway keep it up Moises.

[Valadius]

Yes, it is.

Or so says Yahoo Sports.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore;_ylt=AqbElx7305CFNa2deSZacLQRvLYF?gid=270921128

It says so at the bottom of the page, in Game Notes.

[TransMonk]

Wright had 26 (I believe) earlier this year. It was over 2 seasons, though.

Zvon - "Carp--rain delay. What will we do, what will we do?"

Root, root, root for the Nationals. If they don't win it's a shame.
