8/30 - Sat night IGT - 8/30

[Frayed Knot]

Gettin' lefty with it

Reyes
Castillo
Wright
Delgado
Beltran
Church
Murphy
Schneider
Pelfrey



State of the pen:

Ayala - Def not available for tonight, both based on last night's work load and also a right groin strain, something he apparently did on the first pitch last night

Schoeneweis - Tweaked his back while stretching, was not available for Friday's game and may not be for today

Sanchez - Apparently has some sort of knee problem. He's not necc out of the picture but doesn't sound like he'll be the first one up

Heilman - IS back in the picture after getting three days off following his 60-pitch outing on Tuesday

Sounds like Figgy might be the first guy up (unless Pelfrey wants to notch a 3rd consectutive CG) w/Heilman to close and some combo of Smith & Stokes in between.

Wright already with a two run bomb in the first!

[bmfc1]

Siddown Ross, you little bitch.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Kick his ass!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Guess who leads off next inning...

[bmfc1]

Does it hurt, honey? It wasn't on purpose, you moron. The ump should toss Ross for being a little, whiny, baby. Why don't you get Miguel Olivo to hit the 3B coach (I know he's in KC now)?

[Methead]

Didn't Ross get drilled in the back during the last series? I'm not saying either of 'em were on purpose but I'm sure Ross didn't forget.

Not sure if Pelfrey hit him last time though.

[Guest KC]

That was pretty pussified, get out of the way next time if you don't want
to get hit. Picked off to boot, ha ha.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

And picked him off.

My Mancrush on Pelf is bordering on pornographic.

[seawolf17]

Loved that whole Ross sequence. Loved it.

Pelfrey is becoming a man this season.

[seawolf17]

Jeebus, Castillo limps like a 70-year-old grandma.

[seawolf17]

See, you can "shift" all you want, but if you don't know how to field ground balls, then it's not going to matter, suckas.

[Frayed Knot]

WTF is Ross thinking ... that Pelfrey is throwing at him w/the bases empty, two-outs/two strikes?!?
Don't flatter yourself sweetie.

Only other Marlin runner besides that is the fly ball that Murphy couldn't find.

[seawolf17]

Let's go up there hacking so we can get through five, fellas. Enough taking pitches.

David Wright... "Linkin Park and Frank Sinatra"? Odd.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Just getting here.

Big Pelf might lead this team in wins by the end of the season. And if you told me that in April, I'd have thought that would have meant the rest of the rotation was in a tragic accident.

Great step forward for him!

Much like Delgado leading in home runs.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Take a seat, Cody! I have to say, he didn't seem like such a punk when he played here for the Whitecaps.

[Guest KC]

Official game now, it's been raining for the last couple of innings.

I guessed Cone was the answer to the trivia question, which was what was
the last Met to throw three complete games in a row, but ya'll will have to
take my word on it.

Pelf looks sharp. Cody K'd in his next AB and looks like he may have a stroke
any time soon before this one ends.

Oh, I've always thought he deserved a pop in the kisser. Cody and Jeremy and Josh -- it's the team you wanna beat up on the playground.

[seawolf17]

Way to get out of it, Pelf.

Suck it, Cody Ross.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Cody kills the rally.

OK, O, get back to work. 1 run since the first you know.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

He's up to 100 pitches, though. Wonder of Jerry will try to get another one or two innings out of him.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Marlins break through for a pair of runs. 3-2 Mets after six innings.

Let's get those runs back in the seventh.

[seawolf17]

Gary & Keith, not "Simpsons" fans, apparently.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Two out walk to Reyes. This would be a good time for him to run if he can get a good jump.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Jose steals second, now if Castillo can get a hit for the 2 out RBI.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Hey Luis, you have to swing the bat in order to hit the ball.

[Guest KC]

A nice 3-6-3 DP is a thing of beauty.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Feliciano with yet another stellar appearance.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Duaner Sanchez lives.
