KTE will be up this evening when I get home. Just needs a few more tweaks. It'll hit before the game starts.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Snooze speculates this will be Marlon Anderson's final game as Livan starts tomoorow.

Adios, Marlon. And thanks for all the fish.

Howie downright prophetic talking about how Maine's propensity to work up in the zone leads to homers.

1-0 Marlins.

[Guest Kong76]

Can't provide quotes, but the tv booth was kinda saying the opposite before
the ding dong.

[metirish]

The quote I remember was from Keith , " there's another 8 1/3 innings to go but Maine looks great". His next quote was saying how impressive Hanley is.

Uggla with a bomb.

[Guest Kong76]

Fun booth fact, John Maine had 20.3% of his pitches fouled off ... highest
percentage in the majors (100 IP min)

[nymr83]

Murphy pops out but sees 11 pitches in the process, i like that.

Not to be a total neanderfuck but I'll trade an 11-pitch popout for a 2-pitch smash to the wall anytime.

[metirish]

I don't much care for Reyes running in that spot.

[Guest Kong76]

JCP: Not to be a total neanderfuck but I'll trade an 11-pitch popout for a 2-pitch smash to the wall anytime <<<

Yeah, but he battled.

[Guest Kong76]

7 retired in a row for Maine. Through five, the Mets down 2-sniffle.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tellya what's encouraging though: Maine with a quick efficient inning following that battle in the last one. Perhaps this will be the inning we get into Sanchez, after sorta knocking on the door a lot.

it arguably helped get Sanchez out of the game, and Beltran just knocked one out of the park off his replacement

[nymr83]

2 outs tying run on 2nd, Maine leaves the game for a pinch-hitter, and Sheffield will face the lefty reliever

[nymr83]

they tried to go after Sheffield but the count went to 2-0 so they just put him on. lets go Jose!

[nymr83]

Reyes chased one (i thought) on the 1-0 pitch and popped out

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Can't say that sac bunt did us any favors.

[Guest Kong76]

My head was spinning off my shoulders when he laid that down. And as Keith
pointed out, they easily had a play at second to boot.

I ain't gonna say bifl, oops, just did.

They're gonna lose this game. They're gonna lose this series.

[Guest themetfairy]

Sean Green isn't earning any Schaefer this evening.

[Guest Kong76]

He got out of it though.

[Guest themetfairy]

Not unscathed.

[nymr83]

The crowd sounds like its a (somewhat subdued) home game for the Mets

Delgado HBP, bases loaded!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

OK, we're all set up now.

[nymr83]

set up for victory or for disappointment?

[nymr83]

Beltran beats out the DP ball and bring a run ho,e on the FC, i'll take that.

I was thinking triple play. Now Church has gotta get it out of the infield.

[Guest Kong76]

Is it wrong to be all wound up during a commercial during GAME FOUR
because the bases are loaded and I want some runs?
