Early Doors IGT - Mets versus Italy

metirish Feb 27 2009 07:12 AM

From Rubin..... Here's a look at the lineup for Friday's 10 a.m. "B" game against the Mike Piazza-coached Italian World Baseball Classic team. The Mets will use Mike Pelfrey and Francisco Rodriguez on the mound, which gets them out early, but also gives innings to fifth-starter contenders Livan Hernandez and Freddy Garcia against the Cardinals at 1:10 p.m. Andy Green, 2b Jose Coronado, ss Fernando Martinez, dh Bobby Kielty, rf Nick Evans, 1b Ramon Castro, c Jose Valentin, 3b Rob Mackowiak, lf Cory Sullivan, cf Mike Pelfrey, rhp

Is it an "early Doors" IGT because that 'B' squad provides only a soft parade of hitters?

I'd like to say that's why I said "early doors" but alas it wasn't...

When the game's over, I will announce that this is the end.

Mets-Italy update Mike Pelfrey pitched his two innings without incident. He threw 21 strikes in 29 pitches, allowed one hit and whiffed four. Frankie Rodriguez also had a smooth outing against the Azzuri. He got Andrea De Santis on a grounder to short, walked Jack Santora and then struck out both Leonardo Zileri and Davide Dallospedale.

Real game against Cards this afternoon. Livan started with 2 scoreless but then Garcia walked a bunch and gave up 4 after the Mets loved me 3 times early.

Not as funny as Irish's Family Guy clip, but consistent with the theme of this thread:
