IGT 08/19, Braves at Mets

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Anderson Hernandez-esque catch by Escobar.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

WOW!!!!! Just getting here. Actually, I peeked in when they were down one, then saw the bases were loaded for Delgado and didn't want to jinx.

Awesome!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Chip Caray, immediately after the inning ended:

"Well that was awful folks, no way to sugarcoat that."

I really enjoy Atlanta's broadcasters when the Braves are losing.

Maybe you just have a good sense of smell

I was com-pletely shocked and delighted to see that 8th inning happen.

That ballsy walk by Nick The Stick was the key.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

no, just a big nose.

I like it.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

C'mon Show! Bring this one home.

[Guest themetfairy]

Wow! Yea!

Excellent job by the Forum regrouping in the 8th. This was clearly the key to the Mets rally.

[stevejrogers]

Take out the books, and put this one in them!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice come-from-behind win!

I owe it to him after denouncing his readyness just as he was getting ready.

But f'rreal, Reyes had a rough AB just before him and I swore the same fate or worse awaited Evans there. He & Ayala are getting some suds tonight.

Good thing they blew it open in the 8th, what with their CLOSER on the DL.

[Gwreck]

Glad to see them finally get some runs in the 8th.

Strange that it was the Braves in town in late August but that the game was totally lacking the juice the Braves matchups used to have. Everybody's gone, or hurt -- except Larry, who got his traditional booage, of course. Three years removed since their last division title and a game against them is like playing the Padres. Several Braves fans in our section and they were like any other visiting team's fans.

His RBI single notwithstanding, I think I'm ready for Castillo to come back and replace Easley.

Ayala wearing #56. Did he displace a coach (Guy Conti?) to get that number?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Juan Lopez, bullpen pitcher, still listed as 56. Anyone come across his new uni number lmk

[Guest AG/DC]

I had a Braves fan behind me at the Mets/Nats game last week that was as awful as any opposition fan I'd ever Met at a game where his team was playing.* I still want to punch him.

*Not counting Yankee fans, of course.

[Guest holychicken]

Nice to finally watch a BP other than our own cough up a game so royally.
