Sadly, Roy's 5+ home ERA looks like it will increase tonight.

That's some aggressive base running by Berkman, and I'm not sure aggressive is the right word.

Bottom 4: Santana (perfect through 3)

Kazmat: line drive stand up triple over PRW's head in leftish center (10 pitch at bat).  None out, Kazmat at 3B.

Miggy: flied out to shallow left on 1-2 pitch, Matsui stays at 3B.  1 out, runner at 3B.

Puma: hit by pitch on left elbow (around left elbow).  1 out, runners at 1B and 3B.

El Caballo: soft liner to shallow center, Matsui scores, Berkman pushes it to 3B (throw beat him by a ways but was off line, iffy decision there by Berkman).  NYM 4, HOU 1.  1 out, runners at the corners.

Loretta: walked on 4 pitches (Santana with 26 pitches so far this inning).  1 out, bases juiced.

Spaz: struck out swinging on change up on the low inside corner (9 pitch at bat).  2 outs, bases still juiced.

Erstad: broken bat popup on 1-0 pitch.  3 outs.



End 4: NYM 4, HOU 1

Good at-bat by Pence.  He laid off the double-play pitches early and spoiled some good stuff.  Santana threw him a wicked change to finish him off.  Great battle by Spaz.

Yes, I didn't give him enough credit there when I said "at least it wasn't a DP". It was a good AB and he foiled a number of pitches. Santan's good and finally beat him.

Tejada: singles past Delgado up the right field line on 0-1 pitch.  None out, runner on 1B.

Berkman: struck out swinging on 1-2 pitch (this K is totally on JD for talking about how surprising it was that Santana had only 1 non Roy strikeout thus far this game).  1 out, runner on 1B.

Lee: sharply hit ball to right, Tatis in the correct place to make that play.  2 outs, runner on 1B.

Loretta: another well hit ball to right (2-0 pitch), Tatis backs up to make an easy play for the 3rd out.

And THIS is what happens when I don't post since the spring.

What happened to the old address?

Good game by Stem so far, but no lead is safe at this ballpark.

Ouch, Erstad gets plunked and two are on with no outs.

Spaz: walked on 3-2 pitch.  None out, runner at 1B.  Mets bullpen starting to stir.

Erstad: hit by pitch on 0-2 count.  None out, runners at 1B and 2B.

Ausmus (Wigginton on deck): flied out to left (too shallow for anyone to advance).  1 out, runners at 1B and 2B. JD surprised that Cop didn't have Ausmus bunt on that AB.

Wigginton announced as PH, Mets go to the pen

Not at all. Just a move into a bit of a more mainstream site that can showcase our outstanding features, like the Bus Ride for instance.

Knew what you meant...  'Mainstreaming' I guess (think it is discussed in the 'Site Manifesto,' and helped to allow some pretty cool things this year such as the 'Round the Bases' series (in which announcers for the minor league teams have answered a series of questions which are posted on this site - pretty cool, oughtta check 'em out), etc.

Line drive to left, Loretta apparently thought it could be caught, so he headed back to third. Pence was off with the swing, and Loretta stumbled after tagging third. So Loretta and Pence arrived at home plate almost simultaneously, clobbering the Mets' catcher (can't remember hit name). Both of them are safe, so the game is tied.

Was tryin' hard to call that one for you Ron, and yes it was as crazy as it reads.  Worth forcing yourself to watch ESPN to catch the replay for sure!

Thanks, I appreciate it.  Looking forward to the replay for sure.  Is Loretta ok?

Know they said it looked like he could have hurt himself, but was too busy trying to 'explain' the play to look up / catch anything definitive.  Blum stayed in the game for Loretta at 3B however...

Top 10: Valverde pitching, Q comes in as catcher to replace Loretta in the 5 hole, Blum stays in at 3B.

Wright: popped up to Berkman on 1-1 pitch.  1 out, none on.

Heilman warming up for the Mets

Delgado: struck out swinging on the high cheese (0-2 pitch).  2 outs, none on.

Tatis: singles in to left on 1-2 pitch.  2 outs, none on.

Argenis Reyes (PH for Gascan): struck out swinging (with the runner going) on 1-2 pitch.  3 outs.

Middle 10: NYM 4, HOU 4

Time for Berkman to break the month long homer drought in the bottom of this inning!!!

And Newhan should be on third.

i figured he was watching the plays at home instead of paying attention to being on 3rd.  if that is a pinch runner substitution that is suppose to be better, it wasn't.

Mets cable station just showed a nice dish of nachos being prepared.

Mmmmmm....

I've been taking road trips to see the Stems in various cities (I'm a Stem fan living in NYC) and gone to Chicago, San Diego and Philly.

That was a fucking crazy play.  My guess is Loretta hurt his right leg when he slid into home and the spikes on his right foot got caught in the dirt and he kind of rolled over it.  I think it was that more than anything that caused him to barrel roll into the catcher.

Erstad: ball- almost gets away from the catcher (1-0), called strike (1-1), ball- way outside, nice stop by the catcher to keep that one from getting away (2-1), ball (3-1), called strike- Erstad looking all the way (3-2), foul (3-2), lines a screamer to left, Tatis has to leave his feet to make the play (out #2), Berkman tags and makes it home for the score (throw not close).

HA, what about Lee's crew?

Any other crews out there besides Lee's and Berkman's?

Also, I guess the "buzzing" has been retired huh?

Buzzing retired (hopefully forever) with pigpen.

Like Lee's crew ("Los Cabalitos").

Roy still has the "O's Bros".

Not sure if they've come up with "Hunter's Honeys" yet, but'd like to see that...

Gotta run, later days!

I'm hoping to see the replay on mlb.

Guess Gameday isn't going to post the video of that play, but here are a couple of stills from Chron.com: LINK 1, LINK 2

Bottom 9 (1 out, bases juiced)

Newhan in for Ausmus at 1B as pinch runner
Blum (PH for Geary): ball- inside, appeal to 1B denied) (1-0), half-swinging strike (1-1), line drive in to shallow left, Loretta hanging out slightly at 3B to make sure it falls, Loretta trips coming home, gets up, Pence right on his tail, throw home, Loretta barrels into Castro who drops the ball(C), SAFE, Pence slides immediately behind Loretta on a different angle, SAFE, Newhan to 2B.  NYM 4, HOU 4. 

Castro (C) injured on the play

Bottom 9 (1 out, runners at 1B and 2B): NYM 4, HOU 4

Just caught the replay on ESPN, and had forgotten that this was a force-play (with regards to Loretta), and that Castro had taken his foot off home plate prior to catching the ball...

Don't think he would've been given possession.  Anyway, it looked straight out of a Major League montage!
