Getting Figgy with it! 1-2-3

[Zvon]

Fine first from Figgy.

[Valadius]

[Valadius]

Reyes scores on a wild pitch!

[Zvon]

Ill take that Mets 1st.
Reyes makes it around on a double, ground out and wild pitch.

Smoltzy made a fool out of Wright on that K.
Get em next time Davey.

1-0 Mets

[Zvon]

Figgys bailed out in the 2nd by a big DP, 6-4-3.

[stevejrogers]

KABOOM!

3-0 on Casanova's blast.

[Zvon]

[Theoldmole]

Think that'll go in Casanova's memoirs?

[Theoldmole]

Baltimore chop!

[Zvon]

A fleet footed Figgy

[bmfc1]

I see Roger McDowell and think of three things: 1--he was the "secret spitter"; 2--hot foots; 3--that pitch to Terry Pendleton.

4--bubble gum

Mets coulda really put em away there, as Mr. Wright grounds out to Smoltz with bases figgelyfull.

3-0 Mets


Thats distressful new regarding Alou there.
Fractured ankle?

[Theoldmole]

5 -- platooning in OF with Jesse Orosco.

[batmagadanleadoff]

6 - Brawling with Gregg Jefferies.

[Zvon]

Figgy freepass.

2 2out walks.
Nelson negates it nicely.

I love this ump.
You can hear him yellin...

"THAT'S OFF THE PLATE!"

"THATS INSIDE!"

[stevejrogers]

Delgado with his 2nd Kaboom of the year

[Zvon]

[willpie]

3 hits through 5 for Figs. That's one hometown/comeback kid who is awfully easy to root for.

[stevejrogers]

Ummm, Howie, last time I checked Choo Choo Coleman is still living...

[Zvon]

Figgys finished.

Nice outing up to this inning, with 4 hits and 2 runs.

And he leaves two on with one out.

Smith in.

[stevejrogers]

Getting tight here, come on pen, don't blow this one.

[Zvon]

Smith got the DP grounder but Lillibridge beats the throw to 1st.

4-3 after six and a half.

[metirish]

Minaya says Alou may have fractured ankle.

Alou

[Zvon]

what a catch!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That'll go into the scorebooks as "Schoeneweis faces down the potential tying run right hander" but yeow.

Just as well. Tired of waiting for him anyway.

Delgado knocking his way out of the slump?
