Mets @ Braves: Game 2

Gondeee_tiny by gondeee on in Open Threads

New York @ Atlanta


Nice to see Tom Glavine beat his old team (that sounds weird) and get today's double-header started off right. Hopefully the rain will hold off tonight and we can get the second game in without any trouble.

Final - 5.20.2008 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
New York Mets 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0
Atlanta Braves 1 0 1 1 1 0 2 0 X 6 11 0
WP: Tom Glavine (2 - 1)
LP: John Maine (5 - 3)

Complete Coverage >

In game two we get to see how Jorge Campillo handles starting in the major leagues.

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Jorge Campillo 0-0 13 0 0 0 0 0 21.1 16 7 3 0 5 17 1.27 .98

His last major league start was on August 2nd, 2005 for the Mariners against the Tigers in which he lasted one inning before leaving with an injured elbow. He's been pretty good so far this year, and we certainly don't need any more injuries, so here's to hoping Jorge stays healthy and pitches productively.

Next Game

New York Mets

PICKS

1) 28,759
2) Tex!
3) THE REV goes 5 and allows 3 or less

We’re not doing picks, stupid!

I think two people...

...have started drinking early.

by gondeee on May 20, 2008 5:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not I. Although some guy just threw up in the group of cubicles next to me. Pretty sure that’s my cue to get the hell out of here.

by Smoltz's Beard on May 20, 2008 5:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

do i win by default?

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 5:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i would

certainly take it as such…

Remember Oscar Villarreal's spot start that one year?

5.0 IP, 1H, 0ER, 1BB, 4K.

Lofty goals for the 08 Oscar to attempt. But whatever, we must protect this house.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

Campillo - Villareal

I do remember, and I hope Campillo can do the same. For what we’ve been hearing, he’s going to ROCK the house. Screw Santana, Wright, and Reyes. We GOT this.

by traphicg on May 20, 2008 5:20 PM EDT   0 recs

I just love

saying their names and letting the LL roll off my tongue… CampiLLo…ViLLareal…

by jug on May 20, 2008 6:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

This weekend...

...it was said that Campillo is looking to throw around 75 pitches, so there’s a pretty good chance Bennett comes it afterwards. After that we got Resop, Ring, and Stockman who did not pitch this afternoon.

Could be interesting. I hope for our sake the offense pounds Vargas early and often.

Oh wow.

So the Iron Man’s streak is over. FYF.

by jug on May 20, 2008 6:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i think the final straw was today’s game with tex getting 3 hits and frenchy none to give the 20 million dollar man a higher average that hack & jack

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 6:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Add another one to the nickname list!

The $25,000 question is: how is FYF taking the news?

by VegasAces on May 20, 2008 6:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he’s trying to attack bobby, but he keeps swinging & missing

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 6:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hahahahahahaahahahahaha

$10 million e-dollars for that one.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

This has all the makings of a disaster.

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 5:53 PM EDT   0 recs

sdp looking impressive

as NAHWAL Chief candidate…
Is anyone else throwing their hat in the ring?

by Lizziebeth on May 20, 2008 6:12 PM EDT   0 recs

I'd love to do it...

...but with my first child due any day now, I know I won’t have the time. I do think we have a number of good options, from the looks of it. Going to be a tough decision, Gondeee.

by VegasAces on May 20, 2008 6:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i’ve already outlined my case. i’m so desperate for this THAT I MAKE PICKS WHEN WE’RE TOLD NOT TO. WHO DA MAN?!

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 6:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

You make a strong case, to be sure.

by VegasAces on May 20, 2008 6:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

this is gonna be an interesting night, because despite not having beer, i’m watching DEATHMATCHES on my TV while i’ll be watching the game on my comp. this is awesome.

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 6:32 PM EDT   0 recs

watch out for that comp watching

seriously – someone will be up to bat and you’ll see SmoltzsBeard posting a congratulatory message and you’ll be confused until the AB is ruined for you…..

BigJoe is FOR SURE my pick for NAHWAL editor. Sdp would be fine also, but not my pick to click.

by traphicg on May 20, 2008 6:42 PM EDT   0 recs

Um.

So, who is that team that’s going to play in the Braves jerseys in this night game? Corky is not good. Not good at all.

by Perrinbar on May 20, 2008 6:51 PM EDT   0 recs

BUT HE CAN SURE CALL A GREAT GAME!!!!

i almost hope campillo fails miserably just so corky will not have one redeeming quality left.

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 6:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Maybe we can dub him

a “professional” hitter. You know, a Vidro, of sorts.

by Perrinbar on May 20, 2008 6:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Didn't Gondee link that once

a while ago? Not to harp on you jug, I’m actually just asking.

by Perrinbar on May 20, 2008 7:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Maybe

I didn’t see it, but its possible. Like I said, it was on TV just now…

Leave me alone, geez! I thought people would want to know about it.

by jug on May 20, 2008 7:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Let me repeat.

Not to harp on you jug, just asking. You’d know it if I were getting after you. Oh yeah you would!

by Perrinbar on May 20, 2008 7:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I know

Was only kidding

by jug on May 20, 2008 7:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Sucks

They won’t ship to AL! Grrr.

Anybody know where they are selling them? Anywhere in GA or just in ATL area?

by jug on May 20, 2008 7:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

game time??

when does this game start? One page is saying now, but its not showing up on MLB.TV yet….

hmmm….

by traphicg on May 20, 2008 7:06 PM EDT   0 recs

refresh. i’ve had the game open for like 5 minutes, they did the opening like 2 minutes ago

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 7:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

NVM.

Rain delay it looks like. Maybe it will get postponed, wouldn’t that be not so great?

by Perrinbar on May 20, 2008 7:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ironic

We played a rainout and had a rainout in the same day.

by jug on May 20, 2008 7:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Delay

weather is bad, tarp on field, pitchers have not warmed up.

by jug on May 20, 2008 7:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

this might be for the best.

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 7:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Aw crap

Tom Glavine In My Own Words…better than Jeff Francoeur.

Maybe now I can see how he was drafted to the NHL…

by jug on May 20, 2008 7:10 PM EDT   0 recs

FYF

i wonder if he’s ECSTATIC now…. the streak is alive

by traphicg on May 20, 2008 7:15 PM EDT   0 recs

He's gotta be thrilled

But I wonder if Bobby will sit him tomorrow? I kinda hope so, maybe 9 innings of thought will motivate him to have more productive at-bats.

by VegasAces on May 20, 2008 7:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i am with you

i doubt it though. He’ll bug Bobby enough to let him, i mean, thats like 24 HOURS away

by traphicg on May 20, 2008 7:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

rain delays are like....

walking down the block in high school to sneak a cigarette and realizing once you get there that you forgot the matches

...flying standby

by traphicg on May 20, 2008 7:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

AJ

Anyone else just hear? AJ might be getting knee surgery…. i wonder if its from falling down after excessive strength swings every AB

by traphicg on May 20, 2008 7:20 PM EDT   0 recs

Saw that, yeah

Also wondering if it’s because he’s fat. Or fatter, at least. Mmmm, Dodger Dogs….

by VegasAces on May 20, 2008 7:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

don’t the dodgers do all you can eat seats in the outfield? that explains a lot.

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 7:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Meanwhile on Extra Innings

Yankees gettin’ humilified by the Orioles – key play: Jeter error – Ouch! Jeter pointing fingers at Cano – Good times!

by Hot Cup Joe on May 20, 2008 7:35 PM EDT   0 recs

I've been watching

Dave Justice (in his own words, or course), and it’s abundantly clear that Dave is not suffering from low self-image.

i’m also confused as to why he’s starting vs a righty

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 9:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Because

Blanco is already in, and then they would have to play Francoeur. Better to take some chances.

can’t the rake play the OF?

by bigjoe on May 20, 2008 9:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Black Wilson Betemit couldn't

So I imagine white one can’t. Nah, really I’ve seen him in LF, but only once.

signed him as a minor league FA this offseason. blew his arm out in 05, had TJ. did not much of anything in seattle’s system the last 2 years

yes, same guy. he’s been great out of the pen. you must be confusing him for THE TOWEL

Hahaha

He wasn’t even a Brave long enough to get a real jersey. His typeface on his jersey looked like team management went down Hank Aaron Blvd. to the bootleg jersey makers, and had them make his jersey for him prior to the game.
