101. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:44 PM (#2845724)

I <3 Endy! Shawn Green couldn't have caught up that on a bounce.

102. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:45 PM (#2845726)

Very nice outing by Ollie, though I don't think it's quite as good as his stat line so far. Still very encouraging. Certainly the best back-to-back starts by Perez this year.

103. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:46 PM (#2845729)

I predict runs here.

104. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:47 PM (#2845730)

Nadal with two break points.

105. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:47 PM (#2845735)

Deuce.

106. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:48 PM (#2845736)

Just like the Mets with RISP, he fails.

107. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:48 PM (#2845737)

Steal, Beltran.

108. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:49 PM (#2845738)

This is unbelievable tennis.

109. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:51 PM (#2845744)

Delgado missing a lot of hittable pitches.

110. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:51 PM (#2845746)

No tiebreaks in the fifth set at Wimbledon. This could go on for a while.

111. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:53 PM (#2845751)

You think Delgado is bad defensively. OOF.

112. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:53 PM (#2845752)

DAMN Russlan, I thought that was funny, at least. ;-)

113. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:54 PM (#2845753)

This is a ####### vulgar farce.

114. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:54 PM (#2845754)

And unbelievable offensive ineptitude.

115. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:55 PM (#2845755)

I consider the endless battle to see who breaks the other first essentially the same thing as a tiebreaker.

116. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:56 PM (#2845758)

Fed nets a volley. Deuce.

117. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:57 PM (#2845760)

It amazes me how Federer can spend 3 or 4 returns perfectly setting Nadal up for an easy drop shot to win and then hit the net. That said, I think both of these people are probably better tennis players than I.

118. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:57 PM (#2845761)

Get Victorino, Perez.

119. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:59 PM (#2845765)

JO-SE REYES! SMELL THE GLOVE!

120. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:59 PM (#2845767)

That's a play Reyes hasn't been making this year.

121. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 03:59 PM (#2845770)

That's the D we have been missing from Reyes.

122. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:01 PM (#2845774)

Isn't it more like Wright that it's the easy plays he's been having trouble with? I cant really say as I'm listening on the radio at the moment, of course.

123. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:02 PM (#2845779)

Ollie is dealing. Painting the corners.

*exhales*

OLLIE!

124. Mets Fan Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:03 PM (#2845781)

What's with the Mets' hats today? Are those new? I haven't noticed a navy hat before. I like it.

125. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:03 PM (#2845782)

Bad break for Rafa. Could be a crucial point.

126. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:04 PM (#2845783)

That was an absurd volley.

127. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:04 PM (#2845784)

That was classic. In an exasperated voice, Kalas just asked how does this guy have a 5.00 ERA. He is perplexed by Perez and he hasn't even watched him much.

Good Ollie > Good Johan.

128. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:04 PM (#2845786)

Holy Toledo!

129. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:05 PM (#2845788)

What's with the Mets' hats today? Are those new? I haven't noticed a navy hat before. I like it.

It's a fourth of july thing.

130. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:06 PM (#2845793)

I'll take a rainout here, gladly.

131. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:06 PM (#2845794)

Tatis has a .628 OPS. Seems like he has been much worse.

132. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:06 PM (#2845796)

Two break points for Rafa!

133. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:06 PM (#2845797)

Good Ollie > Good Johan.

I don't agree.

134. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:07 PM (#2845799)

Back to deuce.

135. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:09 PM (#2845801)

Tatis, Paperboy, Aguila

Have we given up?

136. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:09 PM (#2845802)

I would use Smith for Werth, Feliciano for Utley and Rollins, and Wagner for the rest of the way.

137. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:09 PM (#2845803)

Uh oh. Federer is in some trouble.

138. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:09 PM (#2845805)

I hate Aguila.

139. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:10 PM (#2845806)

I have to think it ends here.

140. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:11 PM (#2845809)

Yeah, that ERA+ isn't a massive fluke.

141. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:13 PM (#2845812)

How does someone get so much spin on a tennis ball?

142. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:13 PM (#2845813)

We're in the ####### gloaming here.

143. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:14 PM (#2845816)

Aguila is useless, worse than Tatis.

144. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:15 PM (#2845817)

Sick backhand return.

145. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:15 PM (#2845818)

I don't like Sanchez here.

146. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:16 PM (#2845820)

And so ends one of the best tennis matches i've ever seen.

147. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:16 PM (#2845821)

Not the way I was hoping it'd end, but that was some quality tennis.

148. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:17 PM (#2845823)

Who won?

149. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:17 PM (#2845824)

eeeeeeeek

Defense wins championships.

150. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:18 PM (#2845825)

Could you be more nonchalant?

151. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:22 PM (#2845830)

My internet connection went out. How bad was the Sanchez error?

152. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:22 PM (#2845831)

So who does Jerry have for Burrell? Heilman?

153. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:23 PM (#2845833)

Very bad.

154. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:23 PM (#2845834)

DAMN! That tennis match took seven hours? I am tired just thinking about that.

155. Chris Dial Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:24 PM (#2845835)

This has HBP written all over it.

156. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:24 PM (#2845836)

So what is the protocol here on the rain delay? Could they not resume this game? That would be pretty amazing.

157. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:24 PM (#2845837)

bwah hhha aha ha ha ha rain delay.

You can all thank me later.

Time to walk the dog.

158. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:24 PM (#2845838)

There seems to be a lot of rain everywhere this year.

159. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:26 PM (#2845839)

This isn't a Roddick-El Aynaoui scenario. They had lots of rain.

160. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:28 PM (#2845842)

Clearly, this game needs to be called due to inclement weather. There can be no dispute over that.

161. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:29 PM (#2845844)

Call the game!

162. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:29 PM (#2845845)

Is Nadal the best player in the world now? He dominated Roger in the French and beat him at Wimbledon. Not bad.

163. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:30 PM (#2845847)

I'd use the Show here by the way because he is more of a GB pitcher.

164. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:34 PM (#2845853)

I'd use Wagner here because he hasn't pitched in eight weeks.

165. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:36 PM (#2845860)

I am not comfortable with Wagner in the 8th. Irrational, I know.

166. billyshears Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:43 PM (#2845877)

Is Nadal the best player in the world now? He dominated Roger in the French and beat him at Wimbledon. Not bad.

I think he is. Nadal has raised his game and Federer has slipped just a little bit.

167. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:43 PM (#2845878)

Any hope this one gets washed out?

168. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 04:44 PM (#2845881)

I don't think so. They have the whole night to play it.

169. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 05:03 PM (#2845901)

I think it may rain for a while.

170. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 06:08 PM (#2845993)

Not sure if anyone is still here; but can they suspend this game? It's either finish it today or it's called, right?

171. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 06:24 PM (#2846016)

Yes. But as Russlan said, we kind of have all night. I would assume with only 1.1 important innings to play in a 1-0 game, the game isn't getting called before midnight UNLESS the forecast show no holes at all in the rain from now until dawn.

172. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 06:30 PM (#2846024)

Anybody heard anything? Radar looks like it might stop raining, but there is some rain behind it.

Tell you what; lets just call it a day. That work for everyone?

173. Bob T Posted: July 06, 2008 at 06:59 PM (#2846059)

The game wouldn't be suspended unless they waited until after 1 am to restart it.

174. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:04 PM (#2846065)

I believe there is a 7:10 start.

175. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:07 PM (#2846069)

Wow, tbe field is in no condition to play.

176. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:10 PM (#2846074)

They playing?

177. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:11 PM (#2846076)

Starting now. Come on Pedro II.

178. Mets Fan Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:11 PM (#2846078)

Yup, game on.

179. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:12 PM (#2846079)

I feel like we just lost our best chance of winning.

180. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2846081)

One more, Pedro. Come on.

181. Raskolnikov Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2846082)

K! PEDRO II!

182. Mets Fan Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2846083)

183. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2846084)

YEAH! #### YEAH!

184. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2846085)

Feliciano!

185. Raskolnikov Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2846086)

One more bullet.

186. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2846087)

Nice, I need to follow this online and MLB.com isn't cooperating.

187. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:14 PM (#2846089)

Haha, I love this. What a great three pitches by Feliciano.

188. Raskolnikov Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:15 PM (#2846092)

Heilman needs to come up huge here.

189. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:15 PM (#2846093)

Let's go Aaron.

190. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:15 PM (#2846094)

That strikeout can easily be attributed to the 3 hours Feliciano had to devise his plan for Howarrd.

191. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:15 PM (#2846095)

See, this is where Wagner should be pitching.

192. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:16 PM (#2846097)

Come on, Aaron. You can DO IT!

193. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:18 PM (#2846101)

One more!

194. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:20 PM (#2846110)

Phew. Almost. Bear down, Aaron.

195. Crimes and Metsdemeanors Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:20 PM (#2846111)

I think he needs to come inside here.

196. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:21 PM (#2846112)

Uh ohhhh...

197. Raskolnikov Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:21 PM (#2846113)

That's okay. Burrell terrifies me. Let's get Feliz.

198. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:21 PM (#2846114)

Why in the world would you pinch run for Burrell there? Jeez.

199. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:23 PM (#2846117)

This gun can't be correct, but it said 96 mph on a fastball with great movement. He should keep throwing that pitch on the corner.

200. Raskolnikov Posted: July 06, 2008 at 07:23 PM (#2846118)

HEILMAN!
