IGT, 4/26: Braves @ Mets: The Maine Event

[Zvon]

More headsupness from Mr. Wright.

Delgado drove one that I thought had a chance, but itcomes down short of the track in center.
Kotsay thinks its the 3rd out and Wright takes advantage.
Nice

[Zvon]

Easley gets ripped.

Thats was no strike three.

[Zvon]

Heilman comes on to rabid boo's.
One guy musta had a megaphone....

Hold em Heilman.

Shea is a very strange park this year with citifield looming out in left field, i have no idea what effect that has on the wind patterns but i have to imagine it makes a mess of things

[Zvon]

Heilman allows one after getting ripped off on that 4th pitch to Francoeur, which was a strike, inning over.
IMO anyway

Francoeur follows with a double and is driven in by a Prado singo.

[nymr83]

Pagan triples, get him home!!

[Zvon]

PAGAN!

the mets have hit 7 home runs at home, to only 5 on the road...

[metsmarathon]

pagan... out at home...

[Zvon]

If Reyes gets another knee in the head he's gonna be a living bobble head.

[metsmarathon]

or a dead one...

[Frayed Knot]

Pagan did something there I'm noticing a lot lately ... he slid late.
IOW, he's already skidding to a stop as he crosses the plate rather than exploding across the base so that he's still evading the tag but just not yet slowing up as he's doing it.

Close play - and a different slide might not have changed the result - but it just seems to me I'm seeing that more and more lately when it's not necessary.

[Frayed Knot]

Sooner or later we've got to get to someone in this Bravo bullpen.

[Frayed Knot]

Or we could just look at three consecutive third strikes.

[TransMonk]

Sanchez does the job.

Insurance would be nice.

[Zvon]

Sanchez!

[Zvon]

[Theoldmole]

Only one more...and Wags still perfect.

[TransMonk]

I'd like to see more than 20 minutes of offense out of this group, but I'll take the win for sure.

[Zvon]

Wow.

Wags ninth was just a joy to watch.
98mph fastball on the black.

And how can you hit the slider after seeing a fastball like that?

Very nice indeed.

[nymr83]

wagner has thrown 9 hitless innings this year, i'm a bit annoyed that he had to pitch today at all. aftet bouncing the opposing starter in the 3rd inning the mets cant just go the remaining 6 without scoring, they to need to pounce on the soft underbelly of an already depleted bullpen.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yes! Finally.

[Valadius]

That may be the closest we'll ever come to a no-hitter. I'll take it... for now. I'd still like to see it.

[Fman99]

I missed the whole game today (golf tournament). I was glad to see them get off the shnide, for a day at least.

[nymr83]

you watched GOLF instead of the mets?

[Fman99]

="Nymr83"]you watched GOLF instead of the mets?

No I played golf all afternoon.

[Guest Triple Dee]

D� gets the W in his first IGT thread start and breaks the skid.
