IGT 8/31/08--Mets @ Marlins

[Zvon]

3-2 Phils, Cubs have 2 on and two out in the 2nd.

[Frayed Knot]

I think it's clear that the secret's been unlocked here:
- score early and you DON'T score late (Fish today - us for like every one of our last 95 games) but give up runs early and you DO score late.

[Zvon]

YEA.
JReyes scores untouched on the tag.




6-2 METS

Your 2008 Mets: Fostering Resiliencey and Effecting Redemption on a Daily, Almost Hourly, Basis.

[Zvon]

Do it again Jose!

[Zvon]

UGH!
I thought that landed behind Amezaga.
But he caught it.
Gah x 2.

[Zvon]

See?
Thats why we should have pitched to Jacobs last night.
He'll swing at shit.

[metirish]

HD on Channel 11 is pure shite.

[Zvon]

Smith is all over the place.

[Zvon]

The mound visit sets him straight.
On to the 9th...

Even more runs please.

[Guest AG/DC]

Manuel seems to be working with the strategy of getting one or two outs from everybody.

Just don't put Duaner in this game without calling me first.

It's amazing how many pitchers the Mets require just to get through the final 2 or 3 innings of most games.

[Guest AG/DC]

It's a good strategy... if it works.

[Guest AG/DC]

Hang on to your butts.

3 outs to go.
Oh, those last 3 outs.....
Stokes?

Phils are currently up 4-2.

[Guest AG/DC]

Strikes, Brian.

[Guest AG/DC]

ONE.

(Nice job hanging on, Robinson.)

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Two. Hanley flies to Beltran.

Just one more to go.

[Guest AG/DC]

DOS.

[Guest AG/DC]

Now a save sit.

[Zvon]

WHOA!
What a catch by JReyes to end it.

[Guest AG/DC]

TROIS!

That's the way to pick folks up.

[bmfc1]

Ain't nothing easy but we'll more than take it.

[metirish]

Nice grab by Reyes , Stokes on with Buchhart talking a mile a minute.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Now if the Cubs can rally to a victory over the Phillies.

The Phillies are leading 5-2 in the bottom of the sixth. The Cubs have runners at first and second with one out and Ryan Theriot at the plate against Moyer. Make that Theriot to face Chad Durbin as Manuel pulls Moyer.


Upon Edit: The Cubs come up empty as Theriot Strikes out and Soriano pops out to Utley.

I'm glad to see that my crystal ball was malfunctioning today.

And thanks for nothing, Carlos Zambrano!
