*mops brow

[Fman99]

Wow. I may have pooped.

[bmfc1]

How many Mets games go longer than Red Sox-MFY games?

[Guest holychicken]

How do you let Rollins steal there? I mean, come on. . .you KNOW he is running this game. . .it is like they are not even trying.

[Frayed Knot]

If we hold on to this game I'm giving all my beer to Easley, Smith and whoever gets the next three outs.
Meanwhile, Wright, Feliciano and Sanchez OWE beer.

[metirish]

Most exciting game for a long time .

They were more worried about the runner on thoid.

[Zvon]

Ruiz playing 3rd?
Yikes.

[metirish]

Lidge in to pitch .

Shirley the go-ahead run should be a concern too.

[Guest AG/DC]

It was, but the lesser concern, especially (says the Book) on the road.

Meanwhile, I thought Tatis almost misplayed that.

Save a bottle for Stokes.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

OK, so who do you give the ball to in the ninth? Ayala?

And why is the new Reyes not here? They waiting until Sept. 1?

Tatis!

[Guest AG/DC]

Catcher playing third. Test that guy right away with a bunt, Carloses.

I'd be shocked if AlReyes doesn't get an August call up so that he could theoretically pitch in October. Not that I know who gets moved in the roster shuffle...

Knot - "If we hold on to this game I'm giving all my beer to Easley, Smith and whoever gets the next three outs.

If we somehow fail to hold onto this game,then I'm keeping all the beer for myself. And I'll likely have to drink it tonight in order to ease the pain.

[Zvon]

Delgado totally fooled.
WhatsHeSwinginAt?
Carp.

[Fman99]

Ayala to pitch the 9th according to the booth.

[Elster88]

Still building the arm maybe. Possibly already a crowded bullpen too. I never remember how the postseason rules work, what are the requirements for being allowed on the postseason roster?

[Fman99]

Without Wagner we don't have anyone doing anything remotely related to what Lidge just did to those hitters.

On to the 9th...

[Elster88]

Would you rather have a healthy Wagner or Ayala going right now (or someone else)? Wagner had a rough trip to Philly about this time last year.

It would be a gamble, but I just don't think Sanchez or Feliciano can contribute much any more.

[metirish]

Lights Out Luis all the way....

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Billy has his rough patches, but he has the most wicked stuff in the Mets pen. I hope he can come back soon. Meanwhile, go get 'em Ayala. You da man.

[soupcan]

Breathe...

[Elster88]

Whew. He hit that about 400 feet.

[Frayed Knot]

Ho-Hum

[Fman99]

Crikey. They are giving me palpitations.

Howard with the 400 foot can of corn. Two more outs.

[Zvon]

Oh boy.
I was positive that was gone off Howards bat.
Whew.
