IGT 09/25 -- Mets at Gnats -- Game 1

[Edgy MD]

I imagine it is. September game. Rainout of a game rescheduled from the night before. No consequence in the standings. Daytime.

The fact that that the Nats are division champions and a hot property is probably the only thing keeping the rosters from outnumbering the spectators.

Meanwhile, c'mon, Mets! Don't make Terry have to lunch the Tovar Missle in order to win this one. Saving that particular weapon for Game Two.

[Zvon]

Ugh. Bullshit. Whats the point of this review shit? That last view showed his foot clearly off the base!

[Zvon]

Niiiice. den does it. No one else scores on that 'cept EYoung.

You guyz really got me trained now. I always type E-Young.

den does more! Hustles home!
6-4 Mets

[Edgy MD]

Taking second on the throw proves to be big.

Nice base-running this inning
- EYJ's steal
- EYJ scoring on a short single to an OF with a good arm
- MdD following up by going to 2nd
- Flores legging out an IF single (he's slow, but not AS slow as we were led to believe)
- MdD scoring from 2nd on on Flores's hit


I like when stuff like that happens to Tyler Clippard, because he's funny-looking, because he's an ex-MFY, and because he takes forever to deliver each pitch.

Ooops, posted this in the sellout thread ...
Don't see too many runs scored from second base on an
infield single. Nice, denRunning!

[Zvon]

OH-oh-ohoh. I thought that was outta there! Murph tagged that.

At least, not unless Mookie is running.

Or Dae-Sung Koo.

Lazy Feets� does not necessarily mean slow.

[Edgy MD]

Would love to try and get two innings out of Familia here, and keep the alternative fresh for the second game, assuming Familia finishes the job cleanly here.

Potential tack-on rally happening.

[Zvon]

T makes it 7-4 NY with his 32nd RBI.

[Zvon]

Jeeze. DP.

I think I'd be saving Mejia with a 3 run lead.

[Edgy MD]

I think I'd be saving him with a one-run lead.

[Frayed Knot]

3-run lead in the 9th, NYM win-pct in the upper-20s here.
But now with a leadoff single it inches a bit lower.

[Zvon]

Well, let him pad his stats, I guess. If he's any good he'll make quick work of it here, 9 pitches or so, and still be available for game 2 as well.

Lead off single. Scratch that entire thought.

[Edgy MD]

Can we back up to this point?

2 out.

Harper, the tying run, at the plate.

I'll second that emotion.


Whew.

I can't find my "books" graphic. Gah!

Hey Kevin, you will be missed. For your last day, an old KaBOOM from the archives:
