IGT: 4/8/2012, Braves @ Mets, Game Three

[Edgy MD]

Mets face their first lefty tomorrow in Mike Minor. Who escapes from the bench? Hairston? Turner? Nickeas? Cede�o?

Mets counter with Jonathon Niese --- a good guy to go after this lefty-heavy lineup.

I'm thinking Hairston due to Nieuwenhuis' rookieness. I wouldn't be surprised to see Turner in for Murphy though.

Tejada-SS, Murphy-2B, Wright-3B, Davis-1B, Bay-LF, Duda-RF, Hairston-CF, Nickeas-C, Niese-LHP

[Frayed Knot]

Diaz back in LF for the lefty Niese which means Prado back to 3B.
So it's the same as their game 1 set-up except that vet glove-man Jack Wilson gets the start at SS in place of Pastonicky

No team is good enough to make dumb outs on the bases.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hmmm. Nice little game so far. That's all I'm saying.

[Edgy MD]

I'm trying to host an Easter brunch and occasionally checking back in on this shmincredible game. My schwartz, this is thrilling.

[Chad ochoseis]

Go ahead and host...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Can't argue about the O today. And Torres is going to seem like Wally Pipp.

Damn. Here's hit.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Nose loses his Niese hit bid in the top of the 7th. There goes the nose-hitter.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Um, Lucas....

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wheels coming off!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Phew. Got out of it.

[nymr83]

dont look now but the braves are back in business...

Mets need to close this game out and get the sweep, every game counts and a game you led 7-0 is one you will be looking back on in september if you lose it and the standings are close.

[Guest themetfairy]

OK guys - fasten your seatbelts!

Where is that beautiful old man with the brooms?

Mets win!

Knicks win in overtime seconds later!

Carmelo drilled a 3 with Deng in his face and then the Knicks defended well to force a bad shot from Chicago, 100-99 Knicks

And to think that we won despite the misnamed thread!

NewFrankie is pretty good!

Terry said that he wouldn't have let Niese go past 115 pitches even with a no-hitter. Really Terry?
