IGT, 4/22, Mets @ Cubs: Es El Hombre!

[Willets Point]

Big time for Delgado.

No better time to break out of a slump.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And it's a pop up to shortstop.

No DP, but no run comes home either.

Easley is up.

[nymr83]

Delgado pops up and its Easley with bases loaded...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

When does Delgado announce his retirement?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Another pop up. (And a near collision, but the ball is caught.)

Inning over.

[bmfc1]

Delgado has until Monday to get it together or I do the unthinkable and waive him from my fantasy team (not the CPF league).

Knock it off, stinker.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm starting to like the squeeze.

[HahnSolo]

The ongoing suckage of Delgado is a real downer. And Easley ends the inning.

Is there any reason--at all--for a pitcher to give David Wright anything to hit?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Beltran's still dangerous.

[HahnSolo]

I have confidence in Beltran snapping out of it but right now he is struggling.

[Guest sharpie]

and Moises Alou should be back soon. Hurry back, Moises.


(on edit: I've finally reached the accompanying photograph level. I am, however, Steve Trachsel).

said pitcher may be a met fan.

said pitcher may have david wright on his fantasy team, or is facing an opponent who has himself.

said pitcher may be stuipd, or self-hating - whichever.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Pagan kicks a ball around in right field and Fukudome scores the first run of the game.

Two out, runner on second, 1-0 Cubs in the 4th.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Error or hit for Cedeno?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hell in handbasket. How did Lilly get a single?

[HahnSolo]

Any chance the could have gotten Lily on that? Gametracker says he singled to second.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We need updates

[Guest sharpie]

'Cording to the radio it was Delgado not covering first that allowed Lilly to get on base.

Carlos having a very bad game in the midst of a very bad season so far.

[HahnSolo]

The diabolical Reed Johnson makes it 3-0.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Delgado seemed to go for the ball, but it was fielded by Easley. Easley went to throw to first, but nobody was there. Figueroa saw that he was needed and sprinted to first and got there to catch the throw, but he didn't beat the runner.

Release him NOW!!!!!!!!11

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Can't blame this one on me! Had a nice time until the eighth inning.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Boo Mets

[Guest AG/DC]

Lilly, after five shutout inings, has an ERA of 7.23.

The Mets are apparently the only team that isn't hitting this guy.

[Willets Point]

Why don't we start hitting him now.

Lets go Mets!

[HahnSolo]

Last 25 innings Mets have scored in 2 of them. Yuck.

This kinda crap has stopped surprising me but hasn't stopped irritating me.

[Benjamin Grimm]

With one out, Beltran walks and Delgado smokes a hard single to right.

It was hit so hard they almost had a force on Beltran at second.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, "almost" isn't all that accurate. My bad.
