vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Pish-posh, Russ Springer didn't get lit up. He gave up two homeruns...one to Daryl Ward, who's really, really strong and one to Alfonso Soriano. It's not like he gave up 5 runs in a third of an inning or anything. Russ Springer still rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Yeah, it landed in the upper deck about 500 feet back, almost as far as Lance Berkman's went last nite. Seriously, Ward's got power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Sing along with Al time. This is the game that never ends! Yes it goes on and on my friends! Some people, started playing it not knowing how to pitch. And they'll continue playing it forever just because this is the game that never ends!

naiwf 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 If the guy hadn't mistakenly called Beltran out back in the 11th (?) this game would already be over. I'm guessing a HR here in the 15th does it one way or the other since no one is bunching hits together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devo 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 They were chanting "bullshit" at the ump's call that Utley was trying to get out of the way of that pitch. They were wrong, of course; Utley obviously drew the bat back before being hit. Not that I'm complaining, but why in God's name do you try to steal second in this situation?

Figuring that no one's been able to string more than one hit at a time, and trying to get into a situation where a single scores a run. Of course, if he's safe the Mets can pitch around Abreu to get to Roberson, who's not MLB ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Well so much for that. Hard luck for Madson, who throws over 100 pitches, goes 7+ innings with one earned run, and takes the loss. Chris Coste somehow doesn't make his way into the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwest27 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 I can't see Bonds homering off of Carpenter if he failed to do so against Mulder or Marquis, whom he feasts off of, but I wouldn't be too surprised if that happens since baseball is weird like that. In other news, Pujols is pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Arthur Rhodes couldn't go 2 innings? 7 pitches. 7 pitches! That's how many he threw. He couldn't go 1 more inning? Gotta get to Ryan Franklin, I suppose. Horrible. And is there any way to repossess Abreu's Gold Glove? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Griffey looked like the Griffey of old last night with a hell of a catch in center and a 3 run jack. Good for him. In the 90s, there was NO ONE better than Griffey and it's good to see he has stayed somewhat healthy so far this season. Here's to hoping he gets to 600 homers before his career ends.
