Gagne on, BTW. Nice swinging K on a change for the first out.

Edit: Second out on a grounder to 2B, as is the third. 1-2-3.

The excuses and postmortems coming out in New York.

Wow.

[Rooster Crows]

Good tune-up for Gagne - maybe like Drew, he's worked out his demons and kinks, and will be a force in the play-offs. Welcome aboard. Now get 2 more runs guys! CLose this out right.

[SawxSince67]

1-2-3!!???????????!!!!!111

[Delicious Sponge]

The excuses and postmortems coming out in New York.

Wow.

Do tell. Looked like Glavine really crapped the bed. I can't imagine any excuse for the last 3 weeks that isn't basically that applied to the whole team, too.

[Maalox]

New York City = Choke Central

[sheamonu]

A collapse almost as bad as the Phillies in '64. And the Brewers are giving the Padres fits. The Rockies could end up sliding in. That would bring a real old franchise/new franchise split to the postseason - only the Angels would be a mid-century club.

[Maalox]

I was nervous all through Gagne's outing. It looked like he never had exactly the same delivery every pitch. But hey, he got the job done. Can't argue with results.

[InsideTheParker]

Wow, Tampa Bay just crushed Burnett today. Lucky for us Litsch subbed for him against the Yankmes!

[sheamonu]

Kevin Cash is....not very good.

I can't imagine any AL team (except maybe the Yankees, who don't have great pitching anyway) would want to play three WS games in Colorado.

[sheamonu]

I don't think we really need to see Paps today...

[Maalox]

Mets down to their last strike. Oh, the irony.

[InsideTheParker]

What are the odds of Gagne facing guys like Brian Buscher, Luis Rodriguez, and Alexi Casilla in the post-season?

[E5 Yaz]

Mets down to their last strike. Oh, the irony.

Keith Hernadez isn't taking his jock off and coming through that door.

[Maalox]

We absolutely do. He needs to get some work.

[MidnightC]

If they get there, it's very possible he could in the World Series. The NL continues to amaze me with its mediocrity.

[Maalox]

Who's up for Washington with 2 outs in the 9th?

WMP. 0-3 today with 3 Ks.

Now 0-4 with 4 K's. Phils wil the NL East!

[OCD SS]

NM, brain cramp.

[jose melendez]

The mets have no chance for the WC now, correct

[Nuf Ced]

The Phillies are the NL East champs.

[sheamonu]

You're right - this would be a nightmare - plus, there is no way you could put Manny in the OF there - the ball reacts completely differently off the bat.

[Nuf Ced]

Hey -- who was that in the Phillies celebration?

[BoSox Rule]

I was hoping Pedro could get back in the playoffs, but oh well. He'll be stronger next year.

[jose melendez]

The mets are eliminated from the WC as well, right?

[Maalox]

San Diego PBP guy: "The New York Mets finish up one of the biggest choke jobs in baseball history."

Brewers now lead SD 9-4 in the seventh. Rox and DBacks still tied at 0 in the 6th.

[Rooster Crows]

Let's go guys - a nice come-from-behind would be icing on the cake.

[OCD SS]

The mets are eliminated from the WC as well, right?

Correct, they needed to win to force a playoff and for SD to lose. They are done.

[jose melendez]

Feel bad for Pedro, the rest can fuck themselves.

[Lucen]

The mets are eliminated from the WC as well, right?

The Mets can't win a post season spot, correct.

[Nuf Ced]

Yes, it's either going to be SD or Colorado. Waiting for the outcome of the Rockies game.

[sheamonu]

This is interesting - leadoff walk

[Maalox]

Marvin Harrison injured for the Colts.

Rox have scored. 1-0.

[Lucen]

Let's go guys - a nice come-from-behind would be icing on the cake.

Jacoby agrees.

Edit: Doh!

Double Edit: Does that count as a "productive out?" If so, Jacoby should pay homage to Jeter, right?

[Delicious Sponge]

Rookie mistake.

[jose melendez]

Suboptimal base running.

[MidnightC]

It'd be kind of funny if this meaningless game went into extras.

[InsideTheParker]

Ellsbury's been a goof on the bases lately. Still, he got Moss to third.

[Obscure Name]

Go Rockies.

[twoBshorty]

Colorado up 1-0 in the bottom of the 6th, runner on 3rd with 2 outs.

[Ananti]

It's a small sample size but Moss has certanly not been overmatched against ML pitching, .819 OPS in about 30 PA.

I think he should be the 4th OF next year.

[jose melendez]

Colorado takes a 1-0 lead

[LahoudOrBillyC]

Coco > Ellsbury for exactly this sort of thing.

[Lucen]

Could the Red Sox refuse to take the field, ala Sonny Liston in Ali's first title fight?

[jose melendez]

Base hit would be a nice cap. When's the last time Alex Cora got intentionally walked?

[sheamonu]

Rockies just scored - up by one in the 6th

[LahoudOrBillyC]

Drew PH?

[Ananti]

Could the Red Sox refuse to take the field, ala Sonny Liston in Ali's first title fight?

I don't think the Twins wants Extra Innings any more than the Sox, watch them blow it on purpose.

[MidnightC]

How often do you see Cora get an IBB? Hehe.

[Seabass177]

Last summer's MENSA softball game. Check retrosheet.
