It was a stupid slide.

[Guest AG/DC]

Yeah, don't fire Wendelstedt. Fire the fans.

Or nobody. That's a good idea also.

[Fman99]

Hey! The good Reyes is back tonight. I missed him.

[Guest KC]

TD: >>>It was a stupid slide<<<

Whatever -- just commenting on the good call.

[Guest Triple Dee]

Earlier in the Bronx -- The Gambler got out of 1 out, bases loaded jam against the MFY. ****.

[metirish]

Gary making a deal out of reyes not sliding back into second base after Bay made the catch on Beltran and then threw to second , looking at the replay it seems to me that Reyes knew where he was and really it wasn't close...

[Fman99]

Ruh-roh. 2nd and 3rd, no outs for ol' Filthy Sanchez. Let's see what he can do.

[Fman99]

NICE! Gets Bay with the K.

[Fman99]

Wow. Gutsy work by Sanchez to get out of that inning only giving up one run.

Phew.

[metirish]

Sanchez gets into and out of trouble , he battled right there.

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew!

[Fman99]

C'mon Wags.

[Frayed Knot]

We've been lucky on several plays (the GiDP that wasn't, plus the call at home) to be leading this game.
Don't blow it now.

[Guest themetfairy]

Crap - tie game

[Fman99]

Damn. Beltran laid out but it was not to be.

Ah well we'll get em in the bottom half.

if this had been a playff game he would have coughed up a grand slam there.

Yeah or walked in the run in extra frames. Ugh, I hate that guy.

[Guest AG/DC]

Get the Yankees out of this thread. And, dear, are we rooting for them now?

We'll get this back.

[Guest AG/DC]

Five times on base for Reyes.

[metirish]

I find that Coors Lite freeze frame that SNY overuse annoying.

[Frayed Knot]

"if this had been a playff game he would have coughed up a grand slam there"

That's what all the Yanqui fans thought until ol' Kenny shut them down in a playoff game two years back.

Yep. The Mrs. was just saying the same thing in fact.

Time for a snack.

[Guest AG/DC]

Bunting not for winners that inning.

[Frayed Knot]

So now we're down to Wagner, Smith and Sosa in the pen.
For that reason - and because you may be forced to PH in the bottom half - it's a good move using Wags for a 2nd inning IMO.

I wonder if Figgy would be available for pen work if this goes long?

You would think so, since they're skipping his spot in the rotation this week.

[Guest AG/DC]

Mets bench officially includes Anderson, Molina, and Schneider. The Schneid isn't actually in uniform, though, is he?

[Frayed Knot]

AG/DC wrote: The Schneid isn't actually in uniform, though, is he?

Nope.
And now it's just Molina who won't be needed for at least two more innings.

[Guest AG/DC]

Shouldn't that have been Smiff's inning, seeing as how we might want to stretch Sosa?

[Guest AG/DC]

Endy's having his game of the Year.

You want to bunt, stick with Sosa.

I have pretzels and a TYSKIE beer from Poland. The beer that makes Van Benschoten balk.
