IGT 4/23, Mets at Gnats (and forum meeting ...

[nymr83]

a ball hit off the pitcher's glove scores a run

[nymr83]

Santana hits the hardest Met ball of the last 3 games with a big double, his 3rd of the year.

[Theoldmole]

Solidest hit of the inning.

I should go back to see how we scored our final runs on Sunday night because the streak might be even longer.


On Edit: The last run scored on Sunday was via a Church bloop. That was the last Met RBI that left the infield.

Ray "Burger" King not getting it done for the Nats.

Nice to see an honest to God rally. I missed the Friday and Saturday games while traveling so I feel like it's been an eternity since I've seen them string a bunch of runs together.

I've been watching them every day and experienced the same eternity. This kinda game is good to win, at least, and the stolen bases are really helping. But give me a few doubles.

Extra-base hits for the season:
Delgado = 4
Santana = 3

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Schneider = 0

So tonight the Yanx & CHiSox are the ESPN game and yet that's being blacked out in the NYC area - whereas the Met-Cubs game on Monday was broadcast on both.
Not sure why the difference.

On my cable package the ESPN HD channel is being coopted with ESPN News HD. We don't normally get that as a HD channel but it looks great in that format.

I'd love to see the Mets open it up here. Marlon up, 1st and 3rd, 2 out.

[Fman99]

Dang. Popup.

Duaner's getting the ball.

[Fman99]

Ugh. Only April 23 and I'm totally tired of stupid Giuseppe and his hair restoral product.

Maybe someone at SNY can sell some ad time to someone else.

[Guest Triple Dee]

Marlon = Julio Franco 2008

I'm trying to be patient, but it's not my strong suit.

I keep reminding myself that Jose "Stache" Valentin did a whole lot of nothing as a PH in 2006 for the first 5-6 weeks and ended up being a key guy for that team once he earned some playing time and found his rhythm.

I like to think of him as the Jose Valentin of 2006.

jinx

[Guest Triple Dee]

Where is Jose V?

[Guest mario25]

Sanchez 1.2.3....nice to see

[TransMonk]

="Triple Dee"]Where is Jose V?

Per Rotoworld on 4/15:

Jose Valentin's agent estimates that he is two to four weeks away from playing in minor league games.

[Frayed Knot]

]On my cable package the ESPN HD channel is being coopted with ESPN News HD

Yeah, that's what I meant by 'blacked out'
It's just that the same thing did NOT happen on Monday and I'm curious why. The rights for Monday night must differ from the Wednesday package. It can't be the teams since it's the teams playing are from same cities playing IN the same city.

[nymr83]

="Triple Dee"]Where is Jose V?

="Rotoword on April 15th"]Jose Valentin's agent estimates that he is two to four weeks away from playing in minor league games. It's some encouraging news regarding the disks that are pinching a nerve in Valentin's neck. The 38-year-old was contemplating retirement if the injury needed surgery.

damnit transmonk! are you jinxing everyone tonight?

Wow close play on the SB by Castillo.

[Frayed Knot]

If Jesus Colome doesn't work out the Nationals are going to try one from Column B instead.

[Guest KC]

*groan*

[Fman99]

Good ABs by Wright and Beltran. Make these RPs work and eventually they are likely to make a mistake.

[nymr83]

Church cracks it open!!

[Fman99]

Churchy with the rocket shot two run double. 7-2 Mets.

A little more breathing room.
