Braves @ Mets, 7/25: Wheelie Big Game

[Zvon]

Reed made the right call but he is not the ump. Stupid to not complete the play before playing umpire. Freddie tossed. Good.

[Frayed Knot]

Should have been a G-R Double but that's not a reviewable call.
The Braves problem was that their OFers assumed it was going to be called and stopped playing it.

Fredi has been ejected.

And then the ALMOST problem is that Murphy assumed the call too and slowed down but Wright didn't. If the Braves were more alert they might have had a play on Murph at the plate even though they didn't have one at David at 3rd.

A bad call goes the Mets' way?? Impossible!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Even with this bad call, we should be winning this game hugely and we're not.

Spoke too soon, as Bucky smashes a 2-out RBI dubble

Now we are as Buck drives one into the LF corner (or semi-hugely anyway).

[Zvon]

Wow. Buck doubles off the wall in left. Wright scores. Satin tap dances to third.
7-4 METS

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ike on deck to pinch hit, Braves hafta be tempted to issue another intentional walk.

[nymr83]

Buck!!!!!

[Zvon]

Bucks 52nd ribby. Byrd has 57, Wright 49.

Buck has hit .300 since July 1. He's been in a good groove for 3 weeks now.
which doesn't suck.

.400 OBP too. I wouldn't rule out the more rest he's gotten (via a couple of starts for Recker and the break) Of course, nearly a .400 BAbip too. But it's all gravy now as d'Arnaud is playing. They'll have a replacement ready for him soon.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Three hits for Muffy. Would be great if Wright can bring him home with 2 outs here.

[Zvon]

Aardsma and Hawkins both do their jobs and its 7-4 Mets, bottom of the 8th.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Even Freeman's OUTS are scary, though. Yowza, he's developed into something.

[Frayed Knot]

At a 14-4 hit ratio and some less than stellar defense by the Braves, we should be winning this game by more than 3 runs.
I'd feel much better with another hit here.

Everything Heyward was supposed to be.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis, third leftfielder of the the game.

[Zvon]

Okay Bobby. Ya got a lil cushion, we are facing a team in our division and we [u:2yrouxxg]need[/u:2yrouxxg] this win. There's no way, I say NO WAY, you can blow this.
Go get em.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

BoOKs!

[Edgy MD]

And he doesn't blow it.

There be worse things in the world than splits, but it makes the front office's job a little harder.

[Zvon]

Good job Parnell. Good game. Mets win!

I'll take the

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Shoulda taken 3 of 4, but at least we injured their best pitcher.

"You gotta have a lot of left fielders, or else you're gonna have a lot of triples into the corner."

[Edgy MD]

I always remember the MoFo picnic game as having seemingly a different leftfieler every other inning. I think one of them (big Mark Johnson?) pulled back a homer, too.

I'll also remember it as being really hot.

A kahnfidence building outing for Zack..
