Mets Break Open Close Game In Eighth, Walk Away With Win

PrintThe Dodgers got their third straight wonderful pitching performance, this time from Vicente Padilla, but Johan Santana was better, and the Mets pulled away late, scoring a 6-1 victory in the second game of the series.
Padilla pitched seven innings, but had the audacity to allow a pair of runs, although one was unearned, the result of Blake DeWitt dropping the back end of a strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play in the first inning. Padilla had no walks and six strikeouts, and with only 77 pitches through seven innings he seemed on track with the plan laid by Chad Billingsley (nine innings Wednesday) and Hiroki Kuroda (eight innings Thursday).
However, since this is the National League, pitchers also have to bat, so when Jamey Carroll blooped a two-out single down 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Ronnie Belliard was sent to pinch hit for Padilla, trying to get the tying run home. Belliard grounded out to end the inning, but it only got worse from there.
The trio of Jeff Weaver, James McDonald, and Jack Taschner (making his Dodger debut) faced six batters in the eighth inning, and walked four of them, one intentionally. Travis Schlichting came into a mess, with the bases loaded and two outs, down 3-1, but gave up a three-run double to Jason Bay, effectively ending the competitive portion of tonight's game.
Notes
- Padilla has been really great since returning from the disabled list, going 3-2 with a 1.91 ERA in seven starts, averaging 6.71 innings with just nine walks and 38 strikeouts
- Schlichting has allowed eight of 11 inherited runners to score this season
- Since the All-Star break, the Dodger bullpen has 21 walks and only eight strikeouts
- Johan Santana gave up his third run of July, in 38 innings, and the run only scored because catcher Henry Blanco dropped a perfect throw from right fielder Angel Pagan that would have nailed Russell Martin at the plate
- I lost count, but I believe Mets outfielders made 39 great catches tonight
- Carlos Monasterios faces Mike Pelfrey in a day game tomorrow
WP - Johan Santana (8-5): 7 IP, 5 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts
LP - Vicente Padilla (4-3): 7 IP, 6 hits, 2 runs (1 earned), 6 strikeouts

depending on who the 'spects are..
i would do that. Harens controlled for a good amount and Joba’s more of a relief pitcher to me.
would you do that if you were az and it was joba + montero

thats the thing
and thats why I dont think az and nyy match up.. then again I dont know shit about yankees prospects other than montero

Yeah, I recently bought a netbook for school purposes off of newegg. still have my desktop for the heavy lifting. I have to decide if it is worth it to bring both my monitors to the dorm. Not sure if I can spare the space. I don;t know if I can live without dual screens though. Playing games and commenting on the dodgers with out alt-tab is the shit.

Not even TF2? Thats harsh. I skipped vista altogether. Ran XP up until Microsoft offered that awesome deal for students to buy 7 on the cheap.

40 man roster
Here’s a silly question: why is Elbert still on the 40 man? And also, who is Javy Guerra?
Lastly, dodgers.com has KJ on there twice. LOL?
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
I would imagine there are teams willing to take a flier on Elbert, so that’s why he’s still on our roster (wouldn’t clear waivers). Mind you, other teams could just stash him in the minors because he still has options.
Guerra is a reliever who’s rehabbing in rookie ball. Don’t know what the injury was but he started the year in AA. Upside: he throws really hard. Downside: he’s basically a wild ass righty.
If Martin needs a rest, we can use KJ too
He won’t hit, but he’ll gun down baserunners…

In 1931, the New York Yankees played an exhibition game against the Lookouts. During the game, a 17 year old girl named Jackie Mitchell pitched for the Lookouts and struck out Major League greats Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. A few days after the game, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis voided Mitchell’s contract, claiming that baseball was “too strenuous” for women.1

How exactly do you do that?
Facebook allows me to keep up with Nate’s jungling adventures. I always mentally like those statuses.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Liberal use of sarcasm, and ambiguous statuses that people who know me well will get, but “friends” who I haven’t heard from since high school tend to come out of the woodwork and like. Drawing out facebook lurkers is fun.

But Sands was playing left field today. Lambo was playing right.
In their last 15 games
The Mets are 4-0 when Johan starts and 0-11 when anybody else does.
