IGT # 39 - Mets v. Washington - May 15, 2005

[Benjamin Grimm]

Leadoff single for Marlon Anderson.

Hopefully Pelfrey bunts him over successfully and sets up that run that he'll need.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't think I would have recognized Art Shamsky if he bit me on the ankle. (And he better not!)

He tells a story about pinch-hitting for Frank Robinson in Cincinnati as Pelfrey takes a third strike.

Jose batting.

Stevie Jeets last night, BG today. I'm enjoying the solo IGTs.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, but I'M working on a scoreless no-hitter!

[Benjamin Grimm]

With two out and Castillo batting, Anderson swipes second.

Castillo, by not running hard earlier, has cost the Mets a run. (He could have scored on that dropped fly ball earlier.)

Castillo walks as I'm typing this.

Cue David Wright...

[Guest AG/DC]

Hey, Mets offense! Bergman came into this thing with an 11.68 ERA

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wright pops it up.

Scoreless through 5.

[metirish]

Chrissake , am I going to miss a Mets no-hitter ?

[HahnSolo]

74 pitches through 5 1/3 for Pelphrey.

Make it 75 through 5 2/3 as Guzman grounds out on teh first pitch.

You might! Pelfrey now has two outs in the sixth.

There hasn't been a no-hitter at Shea since Bob Moose! (Shamsky says he made the last out.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

Strikeout ends the top of the sixth!

Nine outs to go! (Assuming, of course, that the Mets score a run. Come on, guys!)

Course it would be the Mets luck to finally get a no-hitter, but end up losing the game, which MLB has decreeded aren't official no-hitters.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I have to say, I've grown to like that the Mets have never had a no-hitter. I am rooting for this to happen, but I think the first Mets no-hitter, if it ever happens, should be quirky or weird in some way.

Beltran and Church are out. Delgado batting in the sixth.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Howie Rose is in the "booth."

His favorite Shea memory is Seaver's imperfect game in 1969.

[metirish]

I'm very conflicted here , if it is to happen I want to see it.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wow!

More concerned we score a run now, but ... um... wow.

The Mets do not have bad luck any more than anybody else.

Delgado fans for the third out.

If Pelfrey gets through this next inning without giving up a hit, Willie HAS to let him take his turn at the plate! Even if it's two out nobody on.

He HAS to!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Keith's on camera heckling a hot-dog vendor for the "outrageous" prices.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

He ain't never gonna wear that mouthpiece again.....

Go Pelf!

[Guest AG/DC]

He's at 79 pitches through six.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Single to right.

End of dream.

[nymr83]

i just tur4ned the game on in time for the 1st hit. FUCK. back to work.

[soupcan]

Boone breaks it up.

[metirish]

Yeeees....sorry ...noooo

My father attended the Bob Moose no hitter in 1969. He has told me about it many times.

[Guest AG/DC]

Well, there goes that memory.

How about a win?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's Namor's fault!

A complete-game shutout is about as rare as a no-hitter these days, so let's root for that.

I want that first Mets no-hitter to be in Game 7 of the 2008 World Series, in the final game ever played at Shea!

THAT would be special.

Aaron Bleepin' Boone


I never get excited about these things until at least the 7th ...
