The Mets are hitting in the top of the 7th inning of a twice rain delayed game against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field. This game was delayed for over two hours and almost everyone left the stadium. There was severe hail at one point tonight. As a result, you can hear hecklers in the stands. It’s 11:30 p.m. right now and this game is still far from over. Since this game has become a joke, the Mets have a good chance of beating the Braves.
The Mets are on top 3-0 now. The Mets scored the 3 runs on Tim Hudson before the 4th inning rain delay. Dillon Gee pitched 4 scoreless for the Mets. Keep in mind, if the Mets win tonight, they’ll be 34-34 on the season. .500, not bad! Here are some notes:
Top of 7th inning.
- Jason Bay just hit a single to left field for his 2nd hit of the day. Mets commentator, Gary Cohen, thinks that Bay is playing with anger because his favorite hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks, lost in the Stanley Cup Finals.
- Freddy Gonzalez is the Braves skipper. He used to coach the Marlins. He must be a Mets killer because he’s been in the NL East for so long.
- It’s bases loaded with no outs for the Mets. Willie Harris at the plate. Cristhian Martinez on the mound. Lets see if the Mets can avoid being a failure here.
- Inning over. Mets scored one run on a bad throw by Erik Hinske as he tried to complete a 3-6 double play. Lucas Duda made the jog home. It is now 4-0
Bottom of 7th inning.
- There was only one TV advertisement. That goes to show that almost no one is watching this game.
- Bobby Parnell is on the mound. This game could get dicey.
- Bobby Parnell strikes out the side. Three strikeouts in a row – all swinging.
Top of 8th inning.
- Pagan was caught stealing. He beat the throw by a mile but did not slide. He slowed up before the base as if there was no throw coming. Pagan completely lost his focus. What happened, Angel?
Bottom of 8th inning.
- Oh boy. Lightning is approaching and Jordan Shafer is at bat with two outs. Shafer was caught taking performance enhancing drugs earlier this year. Come on, Jordan!
Top of 9th inning.
- The clock just struck midnight. The game started about 5 hours ago. The hail is gone but lightning is still overhead. What a game!
- Where’s Tim Byrdak? He was a no-show tonight because he had to attend a family matter. Apparently, Terry Collins refused to talk about it before the game.
Bottom of 9th inning.
- The rain has returned, but it doesn’t dampen the Mets’ cheerfulness as K Rod comes in to pitch in a non-save situation and seals the deal.
That’s all. Mets win! Mets win!!
