Moving Right Along: Myers v Maine IGT 7/23/08

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, let's go mets n' shit.

[TransMonk]

Viva Delgado!

[Zvon]

The word of the evening is "resilience".

We need this team to show some.

[Zvon]

Nice 1st inning for Maine.

How could that one pitch to Burrell be called a ball?
Angel Hernandez sucks.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Endy walks with one out. Whatever Wright does, please hold Endy at third unless it's out of the park.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Wright walks. Delgado witha chance to inflict some damage.

The Mets need to abuse Bret Myers tonight. It can't be too hard to do, it appears the entire league has been abusing him this season.

[Zvon]

Nice.
Three walks in a row by Myers.
This game could make or break him with the Phils.

Cant let him wriggle out of this.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Myers is too busy abusing himself for the Mets to hit him. Delgado draws the third straight Annie Oakley from Myers.

Come on Beltran, make him pay.

[Zvon]

4th walk plates a run.
Woot!

Lets get more..break this open Marlon!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I think Endy will be safe this time. Myers issues his fourth consecutive walk and the Mets are on the board.

Damn, Marlon Anderson is up with the bases juiced.

[metirish]

Was Anderson limping trotting to first , looked like he was to me.

[Zvon]

Break as DP grounder goes off Howards glove.

Why wasn't Anderson busting it to 1st?

And Easley grounds out to end the inning.
Ill take the two runs.

[Frayed Knot]

I'll take the 1st inning ... but just think about how much more Myers & the Phils would be shitting if the batter following those walks were Alou & Church rather than Anderson & Easley.
Just a thought.


Now we just have to keep Maine from playing copy-cat.



btw, Angel Hernandez is still a prick.

[Zvon]

UGH.
2-2.
2 homers.
Back 2 back
2 much.

Victorino's just made it but Jenkins just crushed his way outta there.

[Zvon]

I can only hope Myers doesn't settle down and pitch a nice game, and that Maine does.

Lets get em right back.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Myers cruises through an easy second inning with three ground ball outs. Though Rollins made a nice backhand play on Maine's shot.

Maine needs to come out against the top of the Phillies order and match Myers.

[apmorris]

hey guys.

tell Buck to put a sock in it. Its like I'm watching a "How to Play in the Majors" workshop video.

[Guest themetfairy]

Shit! Delgado gets hit on the wrist.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Come on Mets. Myers is doing all he can to give this game away. Let's at least be gracious enough to accept his generous gift.

[Zvon]

That time you shudda sent him Louie.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Beltran singles to load the bases again. Of course, it's Marlon "Why am I still here" Anderson at the plate.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Worthless!

Come on Easley.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Anderson and Schneider: Met Killers

[Zvon]

Schneid swings at the 1st pitch. Gah.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Endy with an excuse me swing and ground out (FC) on what would have been ball 4.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

An average first baseman grabs that grounder Delgado missed.

[seawolf17]

Way to give the run back. Fucking hell.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

0-2, finish him off, Johnny!

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Big K.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

I think I've seen my fill of Marlon Anderson. He's gotten about 125 PA and is still rocking a .250 OBP and .287 SLG.
