I'm Seeing Red.... IGT 7/20/08: Mets @ Reds

[Guest KC]

On to the 10th, Sanchez earned his Schaefer today.

[Zvon]

Couple a pitches there looked to me like Sanchez was over throwing, but he gives us another nice inning of work.

Job
Well
Done

[Theoldmole]

Canceling out the Reds!

Runs well for a tubby guy.

[Zvon]

Lead off pinch hit double for Cancel.

This is the one runner we can't leave on base.

[Theoldmole]

Jose runs well for a fast guy.

We can't not take the lead here. Get it done, men.

[Theoldmole]

He throws it away!!!!!

[Guest KC]

Oh my.

[Zvon]

Ill take it any way we get it.

Big error!

[Zvon]

Encarnacion gets the error but i think the deal there was Phillips did not have the energy to cover 2nd base.

[Zvon]

Its really nice to be glad when Delgado comes to the plate these days.
I really was worried I'd never feel that way again.
Rip one Dads!

[Zvon]

Ill take it.
Whew, that was close.

[Theoldmole]

They had him, he doesn't drop it. Daring baserunning pays off.

[bmfc1]

MGIM must be going nuts!

[Guest KC]

Wagner needs three outs, big freakin' spot here.

[bmfc1]

Dear Ford and Your Local Ford Dealers,

WE DON'T GIVE A FRIGGIN' FRIG ABOUT DEREK JETER'S EDGE!

Love,

Mets Fans

[Zvon]

I think his foot might have been blocked and pushed off the plate.
(if he went foot like they said)
I like that slide.
Maybe daring but you had to tag there.
had to.

7-5, us.

[Zvon]

STRIKES
OUT

SIDE!

WOOTTOOTDOODLILYDOOTRUDYTOOT!

[Valadius]

Thanks in part to FLA. Don't look now, but they're only a game behind.

Big, big series this week vs. Philly.

[bmfc1]

Congrats to the Mets, us, and most all, MGIM!

[G-Fafif]

Just spoke to MGIM. He's relieved, to say the least.

[Valadius]

The Curse of Michigan has been broken!

Just posted this on MGIM's Facebook Wall:

What Gary Cohen should have said:

He struck him out and the ballgame is over!
The Mets have finished their split with the Reds, back in First, and Mets Guy In Michigan has finally seen his Mets win after 11 straight losses over the span of 17 years!

Tell 'em not to open that package I impulsively sent to him.

Seriously, um, yay? I had to go to a 2-year-old birthday party for one of Lunchpail's little pals and missed all the good parts, looks like.

[Guest AG/DC]

I hate when I get to a party and it's already two years old. All the cashews have been picked out of the mix.

Reds don't deserve to win in those solid jerseys. You're at home an' it's hunnert degrees out. Wear some white.

[Frayed Knot]

I didn't have a good feeling about this game the longer it dragged on.
Nice win, but Wagner's K-K-K meant it wasn't really a BIG game anyway.
