Sturtze doubled, and Reyes followed with a RBI double, putting the Mets ahead, 5-4. Octavio Dotel relieved Sturtze in the 8th. Billy Wagner, despite being overworked, came in to pitch through a difficult 9th, earning his 4th save. "Wagner is unavailable for tomorrow's game." Tejesh said.

tejdog1 Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 YES, he's back! And still going strong! 1. I scheduled my classes so I get Friday's off (lol - nice, no?) 2. I was bored and depressed after tonight's Met game. I haven't seen a clincher in my lifetime, and was psyched up for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejdog1 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Stupid me, I did it again. I lost games 9,10 and 11. I'll just replay those (making sure I get to 10-1). I'll post the boxscores only. Sorry about that. I have 3 dynasties I'm having fun with, and saving over them is becoming really really annoying.

tejdog1 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yeah. I usually load a dynasty and then save it immediately, so it's at the top of the save list, but occasionally, I forget to. And for some reason last night, I forgot to back up my dynasty after finishing for the night. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hall, however, had other ideas, homering with one down in the first to put Milwaukee ahead 1-0. The Mets answered with a 2 run bottom of the first. Jose Reyes singled and stole second.

tejdog1 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Game 16: Brewers @ Mets Dana Eveland (0-0, 3.72) vs Pedro Martinez (2-0, 3.14) The Brewers look to 2nd year lefty Dana Eveland to try and stem the bleeding, as the Mets have outscored the Brew Crew 28-4 over the first two games. Eveland held the Mets scoreless through 3, but they struck for a pair in the 4th. Jeff Keppinger singled to lead off, and stole second, scoring on Carlos Beltran's single. Beltran then stole second, David Wright drew a one out walk, and Victor Diaz singled, driving Beltran in, to put NY on top, 2-0.

Beltran then stole second and scored on Carlos Delgado's single. David Wright walked, and Victor Diaz homered to widen the gap to 7-0. Pedro worked into the 7th, and then disaster struck. He struck out Geoff Jenkins looking, but then complained of elbow soreness and was immediately taken out of the game. "We aren't going to take any chances, we're going to DL him." Tejesh said. Henry Owens came in to finish off the 7th, with runners on 2nd and 3rd and one down. Owens allowed one run to score, but otherwise was perfect in his inning of work, and Octavio Dotel worked an inning and 2/3, scoreless as well, giving the Mets a costly 8-1 victory.

tejdog1 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Before Game 17, the Mets put Pedro Martinez on the 15 day DL with inflammation in his non-pitching arm, and called up Phillip Humber. "We haven't decided whether we're going to go with a conventional 5 man rotation, or use Humber in relief. But he will get some work in, either way." Tejesh said. Game 17: Cubs @ Mets Greg Maddux (0-2, 4.50) vs Tom Glavine (2-0, 2.25) Derek Lee homered with 2 down in the 3rd, putting the Cubbies ahead, 1-0. David Wright tied it with a 2 out homer in the 4th. Glavine went 8 terrific innings, and was lifted for a pinch hitter with one down and no one on in the bottom of the 8th. "We couldn't have asked for a better performance from Tommy." Tejesh said. The Mets rewarded Glavine for his efforts with a 4 run 8th, putting themselves ahead, 5-1. Chavez walked and stole second. Jose Reyes walked, and Jeff Keppinger singled to load the bases. Carlos Beltran walked to force in a run, Carlos Delgado singled home a pair, and Wright singled one in, to put Glavine in line for his 3rd win.

Matt Lindstrom pitched a scoreless 8th, and Kerry Wood capped his brilliant performance by setting down the 2-3-4 hitters for the Mets in the bottom of the 9th, throwing a complete game. "We got beat by a great pitcher on top of his game. No shame in that." Kazmir said afterwards. "We have gotten terrific starting pitching lately. It's allowed us to rest our bullpen, but we have to make sure not to over-rest the pen." Tejesh said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejdog1 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Game 19: Cubs @ Mets Rich Hill (0-0, 7.88) vs Aaron Heilman (1-0, 5.40) The Cubs broke up a scoreless duel in the 6th with a run.

Game 20: Reds @ Mets Mark Belisle (0-1, 4.41) vs Brian Bannister (2-0, 1.96) "If we don't end up using Humber today, he will get a start tomorrow." Tejesh said prior to first pitch.

"Humber will be slotted in between Glavine and Kazmir." Tejesh said. Carlos Beltran's 2 out solo shot in the bottom of the first put the Mets ahead, 1-0. Jeff Keppinger walked to lead off 3rd, advanced to third on Beltran's single, and scored on Carlos Delgado's flyout, giving Pelfrey a 2 run lead.

tejdog1 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Game 24: Mets @ Rockies Scott Kazmir (1-1, 3.68) vs Byung Kim (0-3, 8.56) The Mets burst out of the gate, putting up a 5 spot in the opening inning, while batting around. Jeff Keppinger singled with one down, stole second, and scored on Carlos Beltran's single. Beltran then stole second and scored on David Wright's 2 out single.

Kazmir gave 2 right back in the bottom of the inning. Jason Michaels doubled to lead off, and scored on Matt Hoilday's 2 out homer, cutting the Met lead to 3, at 5-2. "I think we know where we are." Tejesh said. "It's not so much about performance here, it's about pitch count, and fatigue level. 5 innings, 6 earned on 10 hits is a winnable start here." The Mets got those 2 runs back in the 3rd inning. Wright walked with one down and stole second, scoring on Victor Diaz' single, which also chased Kim. Miguel Ascenio came in to relieve Kim. Milledge greeted Ascenio with a single, moving Diaz to third, and Paul Lo Duca's sac fly widened the lead to 7-2.

Broxton pitched a scoreless 6th, and Matt Lindstrom came in for the 7th. He allowed a run, and it was onto the 8th. Tanyon Sturtze pitched 2 scoreless innings, and the Mets hung on for a 10 run victory. "Would you believe I had Henry Owens throwing in the 8th? I will never be more glad then when we get the heck out of Denver." Tejesh said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
