IGT, Game Eight, 4/10: Bring It Home

[Zvon]

Good play by Bruntlett, a backhand stab in the hole, throw and force at second, ends the rallyness.

2-0 Mets.
Ill take it.

[willpie]

What a throw by Schneider to gun the speedy Victorino!

That was hot.

[Theoldmole]

Easley upended on a hustling play - looks OK.

[Zvon]

Schneider throws out Victorino trying to steal 2nd.
Nice throw, just in time.
Nice block and tag by Reyes.

Utley got the worst a that.
Crap, he's ok too.

Maine walks Howard and its Burrell up with 2 on,2 out.

[Theoldmole]

Walks are bad.

Rick agrees.

[Zvon]

Ugh, walks Burrell to load em.

Come on Maine, settle down.
Plate hasn't moved.

[nymr83]

Schneider really gunned down Victorino there. It will still annoy me when he is allowed to hit for himself in big spots but if he can keep gunning runners down I'll be happier.

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew!

[nymr83]

Pafan gets it started with a double! DON'T strand him!

[Zvon]

My sentiments exactly.

And Pagan leads off with a double down the left field line.

eVeRyBoDyClApYoHaNdS!

[nymr83]

Beltran drives him in with only his 2nd RBI of the year.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Do we try to squeeze another inning out of Maine? (He's thrown 85 pitches.)

I'm inclined to say no.

[Zvon]

Big ribby by Beltran.

I say let him start the inning.
Only up to 85 pitches.

Any bumps in the road get him outta there.

Coste throws out Beltran trying to steal 2nd, dagblammitt!

[Benjamin Grimm]

A homer and a double.

Get him out of there!

[Benjamin Grimm]

And in comes Feliciano.

[Zvon]

Id call the lead off double by Coste a bump.
Feliciano comes on.

on edit--I had left the room,...and a homer..yikes.

On further edit...by Feliz..yowzers.

Over-editing: thats bumps (plural)

[Benjamin Grimm]

A walk puts the tying run on base. Top of the order, none out.

Fingers crossed for a triple play.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Victorino strikes out to end all hope of a triple play.

Let's turn two instead!

[Zvon]

OO00OOO, nice curve ball rings up the bearded Bruntlett.

2 out.

Utley

[Guest themetfairy]

I said it before and I'll say it again,

Whew!

[nymr83]

what an outing for Feliciano!

[Guest AG/DC]

[Zvon]

After the walk by Werth who hit for Dobbs who hit for Eaton, Feliciano masterfully strikes out the side.
Reeeeeeeeeeeal nice job.

Now that Eatons out its time to break this game open.

3-1 Metropolitans.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Order a Schaefer for Pedro F.!

[Zvon]

Easley does it!








Doubles.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And Schneider lines out. Anderson bats for Feliciano.

Looks like we're aligned for Heilman in the 8th and Wagner in the 9th.

[Guest Triple Dee]

Just tuning in --

I see Shea has been Midwesternized again with those cheesy homer hankies.

[Zvon]

What a great at bat by Marlon.
Ended up grounding out sharply to 2nd but he made Madson work.
