[Gwreck]

2000th hit for Delgado is an RBI double to give us a 1-0 lead.

[Zvon]

Could break it open in the 1st as this rook pitcher is wavering.

[Frayed Knot]

I can't believe Castillo took either of those pitches!!
(ball 3 or ball 4)

Take til they call a strike.

2-0 on a bases loaded walk.

yea, esp that ball 4. That was >< close.
Id rather see him take tho.
And I don't say that about too many batters.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hit by pitch scores a run. Bear down, Pelf!

[TransMonk]

This looks like it could be a long game.

[Zvon]

Whats that home plate umps problem? Why did he go out to the mound so fast during that meeting?

Shit.
Pelfrey hits Infante with the bases loaded.

Followed by a BIG DP! YAY!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

BIG HR for Wright there.

yay

[Zvon]

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

KABOOM D-WRIGHT!!!!

[Guest themetfairy]

I love that boy

(And I love Zvon's image!)

[Zvon]

Delgado is wikkedhawt.
If you told me in June he'd have 108 RBI in Sept I would have escorted you off this planet.

[seawolf17]

[arod]You know, Wright only hit that home run because there was nobody in scoring position. If they'd moved Pelfrey to second, he would have popped up weakly to third.[/arod]

[Frayed Knot]

Wright sez: Slump THIS!


Gary's not slumping in his quips today.
He mentioned the Atlanta pitcher being sub-Parr today
and that Delgado's hit #2001 means that his 'Odyssey' continues

[Gwreck]

Wayne is noting on the radio broadcast that Pelfrey looks very much "not sharp" today. Suspects possibly that he's got a cold/allergies.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Delgado has another decent year next year and ends up with 500+ homers and 2100+ hits, they're going to have to consider him for Cooperstown.

And he can wear a Mets cap on his plaque! Yes!

[Gwreck]

Well, there was Toronto, too.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Grrrr. Get the batters out, Mike

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yeah, I was just being optimistic. I'm make Rickey Henderson, Tom Glavine and Pedro all wear Mets caps, too! Which is why I'm not in charge of such things.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

DP saves us again. But the offense seems to be rolling today, and we'll be up against the Braves pen the whole rest of the way.

[Zvon]

Another nice DP.
For those not watching Pelf sets a record for...what do u call it?...
pitching into DPs in a season for the Mets.

[stevejrogers]

Double Plays Induced I'm going to guess?

OE: Hey, I'm a good fit!

That sounds better.

[Zvon]

I hat Prado.

[Frayed Knot]

What's with Spanish guys named Vladimir? -- Nunez, Guerrero

I wonder to balance things out if there are a bunch of Russians named Jose?

[Zvon]

There is no doubt that pelf does not look sharp.
He dodges 2 bullets in the 3rd and Prado is left 90 feet from the plate (and I don't mean 1st base).

[seawolf17]

Classic shot of Gary snoozing in the booth!

[Zvon]

Stop swinging at carp J Reyes.
