[ryno4ever]

Okay Mara, it can't get any more nervewracking than this!

[VanMan]

Got out of the inning! Fly to center, Milledge with the catch, we've got bonus baseball!

[ryno4ever]

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[ARamfan]

Okay Mara, it can't get any more nervewracking than this!

It CAN'T, but Jorge pulled it out! Now, Mets score some runs!!!

[VanMan]

Mets have Wright, Delgado and Alou coming up in the 10th.

[VanMan]

This is so strange, Cub fans rooting for the Mets!

[ryno4ever]

AAAALLLLLOOOOUUUUUUU!

[ryno4ever]

This is so strange, Cub fans rooting for the Mets!

Shhhhhhh....don't tell Ronnie!

[ARamfan]

GO MO!!! I'll always root for MO! ;)

[ryno4ever]

David Wright walks....

[VanMan]

Wright walked to lead off the inning against Wise.

[VanMan]

Mike Maddux out to talk to Wise.

[ARamfan]

Guys, I just grew another ball! (MVP) It's got to be from watching THIS game! Very appropriate. :D

[VanMan]

Wise walked Delgado on four bad ones. He hasn't thrown a strike yet.

[ryno4ever]

Wise can't find the strike zone. He waked Wright on four pitches...walks Delgado. Mr. Maddux is out at the mound telling him to throw some strikes.

[SKIPPER 11]

Smallest zone I have ever seen

[VanMan]

Guys, I just grew another ball! (MVP) It's got to be from watching THIS game! Very appropriate. :D
I just saw that statement and had to laugh!

[Sheffield_&_Waveland]

Guys, I just grew another ball! (MVP) It's got to be from watching THIS game! Very appropriate. :D

lol,nice one Aram congrats :)

[ryno4ever]

9 balls 0 strikes

[VanMan]

Anyone know the tendencies of Chad Fairchild, the home-plate ump in Milwaukee tonight?

[SKIPPER 11]

OMG- THIS IS TERRIBLE- 10 STRAIGHT BALLS

[VanMan]

Wise is being pulled right now, on a 2-0 count to Alou. Ten pitches, no strikes. Brian Shouse is going to complete the AB.

[ryno4ever]

Awesome! Now you can even say that even women can grow some balls by watching baseball! (Sorry...couldn't resist!)

[VanMan]

OMG- THIS IS TERRIBLE- 10 STRAIGHT BALLS
No it isn't. :D It's good for the Cubs, but they had to take Wise out.

[VanMan]

Awesome! Now you can even say that even women can grow some balls by watching baseball! (Sorry...couldn't resist!)
Heather! LOL! Now you have to get in the act!

[ryno4ever]

Anyone know the tendencies of Chad Fairchild, the home-plate ump in Milwaukee tonight?

I don't think he needed to worry much about Wise's pitches, none came close. there was one on Bill Hall that was high in the strike zone, but he called it a ball...it would have been strike 3

[ryno4ever]

Heather! LOL! Now you have to get in the act!

Whattya talking about? I have four!

[ryno4ever]

Is Alou gonna bunt?

[VanMan]

Shouse got Alou to ground into a double play. Wright goes to third with two out.

[ryno4ever]

Oh man...Alou grounds into a double play, but Wright goes to third....still hope.

[VanMan]

Damion Easley is PH for Shawn Green.

[Drew]

What was the count when Alou grounded out?

[ryno4ever]

Boy, Milwaukee is really taking a chance by using up their pen here. If this game goes into long extras, they are gonna be screwed!

[VanMan]

Chris Spurling is coming in out of the Brewer pen to face Easley.

[ryno4ever]

What was the count when Alou grounded out?

3-1 I think he should have bunted.

[VanMan]

What was the count when Alou grounded out?
It was 3-1.

[VanMan]

Hart is trying to do another sac bunt.

[VanMan]

Hart blooped one to right for a single, Jenkins to second.

[ryno4ever]

We need to see a double play.

[VanMan]

Hardy bunts, but Delgado goes to third to cut down Jenkins.

[ryno4ever]

You can't walk Braun with Fielder on deck!

[ryno4ever]

Oh jeezz....
2-2 with only 1 away.

[ryno4ever]

This game is 4 hours old....

[ryno4ever]

Double Play....going to the 12th!

[VanMan]

[ARamfan]

I just noticed that, I can't believe it! Almost time for the 14th inning stretch! :rolleyes:

[ryno4ever]

Luis Castillo bunts for a base hit!

[VanMan]

Castillo's on, bunt single to third.

[ryno4ever]

pickoff attempt....and Castillo likes to run, but not as good as he was earlier in his career.....

[ryno4ever]

Almost a homer!

[VanMan]

[ryno4ever]

4-6-3 double play going into the bottom of the 12th

[VanMan]

Delgado on the first pitch grounded into a double play, 4-6-3! :(

[ARamfan]

Yeah, Heather, four hours old, and this thread just went to its 32nd page.

Four hours and counting. And I might add that you've done an outstanding job. Above and beyond the call of duty tonight!

[VanMan]

Can we get the Mets to scratch across one friggin run against the Brewer bullpen???

[Sheffield_&_Waveland]

Well know matter how this game turns out we should benefit because all these extra innings is wearing the Brewers and Mets down ;)

[VanMan]

Four hours and counting. And I might add that you've done an outstanding job. Above and beyond the call of duty tonight!
It's a good thing I don't need to be at work tomorrow until 4:45 p.m.

[ryno4ever]

Fielder just about ended it....450 feet foul!

[ryno4ever]

Another long ball...foul.... this guy has got to watch how he is pitching to Fielder! He was just given two extra lives.

[VanMan]

Fielder leads off the bottom of the 12th with a single to right center.

[VanMan]

Heather, you watching the game on FSN North or MLB.tv?

Rickie Weeks pinch hitting, sacrificed Fielder to second.

[ryno4ever]

Ned Yost going to the bench and putting Weeks in. Only Estrada is on the bench now. As Weeks sac bunts fielder to second.

The guys on the Mets radio are saying that it seems as if Fielder has hurt his arm....as it hangs limp against his body. He was hit in the arm by a pitch earlier.

There is a meeting on the mound to determine if they are going to intentionally walk Mench, but they are going to pitch to him.

[VanMan]

Mench flied to Milledge for the second out, Fielder remains at second.

[ryno4ever]

Heather, you watching the game on FSN North or MLB.tv?

Rickie Weeks pinch hitting, sacrificed Fielder to second.

I don't get FSN north and MLB.tv is blacked out, I'm listening to mlb audio.

[ryno4ever]

Miller is up, and the guys on the radio are talking about that they need to get Miller because he is probably the most tired of all of the guys, and the only guy left on the bench is back up catcher Estrada.

[VanMan]

I don't get FSN north and MLB.tv is blacked out, I'm listening to mlb audio.
Brewer or Met feed?

[ryno4ever]

Dave Bush (tomorrows starter) is warming up in the pen.

[VanMan]

Miller flies out to Milledge, we're going to the 13th!

[ryno4ever]

Brewer or Met feed?

Met's feed...I was hoping by listening to the Met's broadcast, it would help them win.... I'm getting desparate! I AM LISTENING TO MET'S RADIO!!!! Wow, in one week, I have cheered for the Cardinals, Cheered for the Mets, and now i am even listening to their radio station!:eek:

[VanMan]

Dave Bush (tomorrows starter) is warming up in the pen.
Tomorrow's starter? :eek: Who'd start tomorrow for Milwaukee when he comes in?

[ARamfan]

Dave Bush (tomorrows starter) is warming up in the pen.

Unbelievable isn't it?

[ryno4ever]

I would think who ever pitches the day after Bush.... or they make a roster move to bring someone up for a start. Remember the Ryan O'Malley story?

[ryno4ever]

Top of the 13th.... Dave Bush is in the game.

[ryno4ever]

This is Bush's second relief stint this year, however.

[VanMan]

Alou leads off the 13th with a single to left past Hardy.

[ryno4ever]

AAALLLLLOOOOOOUUUUUU! Base hit!

[ryno4ever]

If this keeps up, forget the bubbly, I may have to celebrate with coffee!

[ryno4ever]

Alou was attempting to steal...Easley fouled the pitch off.

[VanMan]

Easley attempts to bunt Alou to second, then fouled off the 2-1. He later strikes out swinging. Alou stole second on the play.

[ryno4ever]

Ball 3!!!!!!! 2 strikes!!!!! Is Alou gonna be running?

[ryno4ever]

alou steals after easley strikes out!

[VanMan]

Meanwhile, Bonds just popped to shallow left-center, but Furcal committed an error allowing Bonds to reach first. He's been pulled for a pinch hitter, 0-for-2 with 2 BB.

[ryno4ever]

umpire got nailed by a foul ball...but he's okay

[VanMan]

Castro grounds out to third.

[ryno4ever]

2 out with alou still at 2nd

[VanMan]

Milledge grounds to short to end the inning.

[VanMan]

Graffanino, Jenkins and Hart due in the bottom of the 13th.

[VanMan]

Graffanino doubles to left. Not good, winning run in scoring position already.

[ryno4ever]

here we go again

[ARamfan]

The Emergency Alert System was just activated on mlb.tv! :eek: I just started hearing the alarm beeping, it was totally crazy...just like the rest of this night. The game is back on now.

[VanMan]

Game over.

[VanMan]

Jenkins hit a two-run, walk-off homer. Brewers win, 4-2, and stay one game up. Dangit!

[ryno4ever]

Jenkins 2 run homer...... :( So Sad!

[ryno4ever]

I hate the Mets.

[VanMan]

Bush gets the win, he's 9-8 now. Sele gets the loss, falling to 3-1. 4 hours and 20 minutes in front of 41,790.
