IGT--Mets @ Marlins, 08/25/09

[bmfc1]

METS:
Angel Pagan CF
Luis Castillo 2B
Gary Sheffield LF
Jeff Francoeur RF
Fernando Tatis 3B
Daniel Murphy 1B
Omir Santos C
Anderson Hernandez SS
Nelson Figueroa RHP (1-2, 6.30)


Good to see Francoeur in there.

At ESPN's "Streak for the Cash", this game is on the board as to who will win. 97% have picked the Marlins.

It feels odd now to be able to follow a Mets game in actual time, rather than six hours ahead.

The rout is on! Well, they got one run, anyway, on a Frenchy double (well hit but misplayed) and a Tatis single. Murphy (line out) and Santos (single) also hit the ball hard, and Andy Handy is up, 2 on and 2 out.

Valadius Aug 25 2009 06:03 PM

This season has gotten so bad that when I saw that the Mets scored a run, my first reaction was merely, "Oh."

Edgy DC Aug 25 2009 06:55 PM

In Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (wherever they play their home games), a seventh-inning RBI single by Josh Peterson has put the Bisons on top of the Yankees 1-0. Jesus Feliciano is 3-4 and has his average up to .307.

Edgy DC Aug 25 2009 07:19 PM

Hey, Sheffie is out with a back cramp. In SWB, Chris Mason has yielded, after seven shutout innings, to Adam Bostick and Jim Ed Warden (who the f...?) who pitch a scoreless eighth. We're in the ninth.

Edgy DC Aug 25 2009 07:22 PM

Consecutive Gameday updates: New York Mets left fielder Gary Sheffield left the game due to an injured back. Florida Marlins catcher John Baker left the game due to an injured back. Dog days, baby.
