IGT - Mets @ Nats - July 1st

[Zvon]

I can't find an IGT anywhere?
If there is one I am sorry.

[Zvon]

I can't be here on a regular basis for a lil while, and I have no line ups ready.

Mets score first as they bring one around w/small ball.

Felice single, Tejada sac bunt, Dave did his thing (K), Davis singles in Polanco head.

[Gwreck]

Was Fman's to start but he is MIA at first pitch.

Feliciano CF
Tejada SS
Wright 3B
Davis 1B
Francoeur RF
Carter LF
Blanco C
Cora 2B
Santana P

[Gwreck]

Morgan CF
Guzman 2B
Zimmerman 3B
Dunn 1B
Willingham LF
Morse RF
Desmond SS
Nieves C
Hernandez P

ty G.
Hope all is well with Fman and I hope he don't mind me pinch hittin for him.
But I do prefer we have IGTs during the game.

I hate to say great news, but to me it is.
Utley out for 8 weeks with a suckin thumb.

[Gwreck]

I think Fman might be AT the game tonight. So no worries about the mojo.

Santana looking decidedly sharper tonight with an easy first two innings.

[Guest themetfairy]

Praise Jesus - nice catch to end the 3rd.

[Zvon]

What happened?
When I left this was the no-hitter I predicted yesterday and the day before.

Ohhhhhhh, they got a hit.

[Zvon]

Jesus is hotter than the 4th of Juuuuly.



Oh my, I feel faint.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Jeez... Feliciano's hitting like he's got a returning perennial All-Star breathing down his neck.

[Zvon]

Yikes, Carter plays the karoom of the wall perfectly lucky and then he tries to throw the ball to me here in NJ.

They are gonna review this, but that was no homer.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Between that and the lulu he threw in an "attempt" to get Cantu at the plate last night... he makes Damon look like Clemente.

[Zvon]

It hit of the pad on the wall top and man, was Carter lucky that shot off the wall into his glove.
Then he makes a horrible 100 hop and roll throw to up the left field line.
Should hit that cut-off or even thrown it behind the runner, tho he was gonna settle for a double.

Hope this don't hurt us.

Get out of it Santana.

BIG K!

[Zvon]

Nice Johan. Godd job mah man.

[Zvon]

Utley, Uggla, now Guzman....
is it possible I just hat all 2nd basemen?
(not on the Mets, of course. I would love Tejada,
but he's only 11 and I'd end up in jail.)

[Zvon]

July 1st:
The coffee here is not as good as the Ricans.
As a result I'm somewhat under control.

[Theoldmole]

Be nice to give Johan a run or two.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Willingham was soooooo looking changeup on that.

Johan's smarter.

Two on, one out? Zero problem.

[Zvon]

Santana gettin outta jams but that was a close one.



How long can he do this Spock?
For....
how....


long?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hopefully, three more.

I mean, 75 pitches through 6?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Desmond has another in the Nationals' place;
Nieves is a candidate to bunt.
Desmond is advancing down to second base;
And in to hit, not Livan, but some other... guy.

[ashie62]

Nice to be back. Quite an interesting OF for the Mets. Need runs!

[ashie62]

Omir Santos would have blocked that.

[Zvon]

Desmond has another in the Nationals' place;
Nieves is a candidate to bunt.
Desmond is advancing down to second base;
And in to hit, not Livan, but some other... guy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dammit.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Forgot what a Fischer-Spassky-like joy it was to watch a Riggleman-Manuel matchup.

[Zvon]

Kirk: "Santana will not pitch the 8th, Spock.
It's a shame those humans in blue did not give him more support."

Spock: "He pitched well Captain. But according to your earth rules
in this competitive game you call baseball, not well enough for a win."

Kirk: "But he DID pitch well enough, Spock. Even though he
was in constant trouble, he did pitch a great game.
You have much to learn about baseball my friend."

Spock: *Shrugs Shoulders

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, Spock. Logic has no place in a Willie Harris-inhabited atmosphere.

Desmond steps up with the score tied at 1-all
Pedro looks at runners, first and third
Desmond settles in and looks to drive the ball
And instead of laying wood, he lays a turd

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Of course it's Harris.

AND Morgan.

FUCK.

[Zvon]

I do hat Guzman.
I do, I do.
