Hey, Cool!! There's A Game On!

[Nanner]

We're in the top of the 3rd. Cliff Floyd just hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the 2nd to knot it up at 3.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

LET'S GO METS!!!!!

(Floyd's got 10 dingers on the season now. I'm glad we have 'im.)

[Nanner]

Top of the 6th, still knotted at 3, 2 outs, man on 1st.

GO PEDRO!!!!! LETSGOMETS!!!

:jump: :gt: :jump: :gt:

[Nanner]

Ah, yes. 3rd out. Sweeeeet!

Jimmy Rollins grounds out, pitcher Pedro Astacio to first baseman Jason Phillips. :clap2:

[Nanner]

Bottom of the 6th, guys on 1st and 2nd, 2 outs, Howe takes Pedro out in favor of Timo batting. Hmmmmmm..... Pedro was sort of having a good game. I hope our bullpen can hold the Phillies here. :um: Let's see what Timo can do.

[Nanner]

That's Vance on 2nd and Joey Mac on 1st. And Timo's fouling them off. Count on him is 3-2

[Nanner]

YIPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!! TIMO DOUBLES!!!!! VANCE SCORES! JOEY SCORES!!!!

:jump: :jump: :jump:

YAY!

Still 2 out, and Roger, who is 2 for 3, (hello!) steps in.

GO ROGER!!!!!

Score is now 5-3, Metsies. :luvkiss:

[Nanner]

WHOA!!!!! THAT LIGHTNING-FAST STEVE TRACHSEL IS PINCH-RUNNING FOR TIMO AT 2ND! :eek: Yikes! :D

Dang. Roger grounds out.

*sigh*

Oh, well. Mets score twice, so here we go into the top of the 7th, Metsies leading, 5-3.


:clap2:

[Nanner]

Uh-oh. Stormy Weathers is in. I'm sure he's anxious to redeem himself after Tuesday.

COME ON, STORMY!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

And he gets David Bell to ground out for the 1st outtie.

:clap:

[Nanner]

And Jim Thome pops out.

2 out.

:D

[Nanner]

Top of the 8th. I was interrupted. :D Stormy got through the top of the 7th, nobody scored.

Mets bottom of the 7th........nobody scored.


Stormy's mowing 'em down.

2 outs.

Bobby Abreu went down looking.

Mike Lieberthal pooped out to Jason Phillips at 1st.

GO STORMY!!!

:jump: :jump:

[Nanner]

Ricky Ledee flies out to Shinjo in center for the 3rd outtie.

WAY TO GO STORMY!!! YOU ROCK!!!!

:cooldude: :cooldude: :cooldude:

[Nanner]

HOLY COW!!!!! JASON PHILLIPS WITH A DOUBLE!!!!

Nobody out.

I'm lovin' this guy!!! :eek: :luvkiss:

[Nanner]

What's with substituting pitchers to run?!?!?:umm Howe just put in Jae Seo to run for Phillips at 2nd. Granted, Jason hasn't struck me as that speedy a guy, but Jae? Guess Art's got a plan.

:um:

[Nanner]

YIKES!!!!! WIGGY BUNTS AND JAE SCORES! ERROR ON LIEBERTHAL AND WIGGY GOES TO 2ND!!!

6-1, our Metsies.

:clap:

Wish I were watching this. :(

And Vance Wilson goes down on a called strike.

[Nanner]

Joey Mac goes down swinging.

2 outs.

Tony Clarke in, batting for Stormy.

So we've got Wiggy still on 2nd.

GO TONY!!!

:jump: :jump:

[Nanner]

Jose Mesa walks Tony Clarke.

Roger at the plate.

:um:

[Nanner]

Oh, geez. :hmm: Roger grounds into a force out.

*sigh*

Whatever.

[Nanner]

Armando Benitez actually went through 3 batters, and everybody's out, and the Mets win the game.

:D

Nice. :smokin:

Tomas Perez grounds out.

Marlon Byrd goes down swinging.

Jimmy Rollins goes down swinging.

Okay. I'm impressed. :hail:

METS WIN!!!!!! 6-3!!!!


:jump: :jump: :jump:

[Nymet31]

Thanks for the recap there Nan. At least this make 2 in a row right??? they won last night I think!! Go Mets!! I'm liking these newbies there doing a great job..keep the fire going!!! GO METS!!

[Cyberlibrarian]

I was at the game today! It was such fun.

As for pitchers being used as pinch-runners, why not? Davey Johnson used Ron Darling all the time to run. It makes perfect sense to me.

Art's smart enough not to use Al though. Al makes Jason Phillips look like a speed demon. In fact, one of the radio guys once said that Sid Fernandez was the slowest Met he'd ever seen.

And then he met Mo Vaughn and Al Leiter. :rotf:

[Nanner]

Well, I was thinking last night when I was watching Jason Phillips run, that he ran sort of funny.... that he didn't exactly look like a speed demon. It was just sort of funny to see Steve substituted for him.

I'm watching the repeat of the game right now. Jae was so happy to score that run! :clap2: It does look like it must have been fun to be there! :D

Reminds me of a game back in the early 80s that last 2 hours and 2 minutes ... Astros 2B Billy Doran said after the game, "We'd have broken the 2-hour mark if (Alan) Ashby hadn't hit that triple." :eek: Now that's slow.

I love the idea of using Pitchers as pinchrunners[as long as they don't get hurt]

it keeps everyone in the game, sometimes you see the pitchers just chilling in the bullpen this way they have to be on there toes and ready to play.
