OK..I did my Ralph Kiner emergency fillin back in a few METS 1 BRAVES 0

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 06:10 PM

Eek. Church with an evil twin version of last night's catch. But Livan takes a risk on the sac bunt and throws his man out at third. Nice.

Willets Point May 05 2009 06:14 PM

Chipper Jones with the bases loaded at Turner Field. That's an "oh fuck" situation if I've ever seen one.

Willets Point May 05 2009 06:15 PM

Or a double play. <Whew>

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 06:17 PM

Livan houdinis out of a bases loaded jam after Chipper lines hard into a double play. Haha. Suck it, Jones.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 05 2009 06:17 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 05 2009 06:22 PM

Wait, hold on-- aren't WE supposed to be the ones being cut down after baserunning boners? Aren't their middle infielders supposed to be the ones taking out Beltran/Reyes from a scoring position perch? What rabbit hole did we stumble down instead of landing at Hartsfield-Jackson? (Anyway, nice double-play, Luis y Jose.)

TheOldMole May 05 2009 06:18 PM

Keith mentions Heisenberg's uncertainty principle!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 05 2009 06:19 PM

BTW: Not to shit on the dinner plate, but we're at 7 LOB through 3-- a pace for 21, for you non-math majors.

themetfairy May 05 2009 06:33 PM

Nice catch by Beltran!

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 06:40 PM

Castro's new plate approach of visualizing Manuel's face on every baseball is doing wonders.

Frayed Knot May 05 2009 06:40 PM

We can't be letting this Kamikazi guy off the hook with only 2 runs. Not after so many pitches and LOBs

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 06:44 PM

Speaking of plate approaches, the generally unlistenable Braves booth made an astute observation about Castillo's form. "Like he was just trying to get the bat in the way of the ball." Livan, on the other hand, crushed that one. But Schaefer's right there.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 06:48 PM

Livan looking fit and funky.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 06:53 PM

Escobar with a hell of a throw. PeachtreeTV booth trying to win me over by pointing out that he didn't "jump up in the air and float one to first." Hehe.

Kong76 May 05 2009 07:04 PM

LW: BTW: Not to shit on the dinner plate <<< I was gonna go eat that last piece of half-cold pizza, I think I'll just stick it in a zip-lock bag now. Three double plays tonight for Livan and his low pitch count through six!

PiggiesTomatoes May 05 2009 07:06 PM

Can we get someone to bottle a little of Livan tonight. Very nice!

Rockin' Doc May 05 2009 07:10 PM

Time to get Livan some more runs to work with. I'd feel better with a four or five run lead.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 05 2009 07:12 PM

Where I come from, when the runner is hugging the base as he gets tagged, he's usually called "safe." But hey... blame my upbringing. (You'll be credited with a steal in my head, DWright.)

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 07:13 PM

And stealing my heart.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 07:16 PM

Braves color announcer making a spectacle of himself in an orange Home Depot apron for the second night in a row. Thankfully we've never had to deal with watching Giuseppe Franco massaging his Procede brand snake oil into Gary Cohen's scalp in the middle of an inning.

Kong76 May 05 2009 07:23 PM

Funny, OO

Fman99 May 05 2009 07:24 PM

Ruh roh. Now 2-1 after an RBI double by some moe. Need another out here Bobby.

Fman99 May 05 2009 07:27 PM

Phew. Too bad we left 50 men on base tonight. It should be 5-1 or 7-1 or something. Instead of the nail biter. Insurance run anyone?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 05 2009 07:30 PM

Inherited runners' scoring makes the baby Jesus cry. Castro would be good to do some "Waterboy"-style visualizin' right about now.

Kong76 May 05 2009 07:36 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 05 2009 07:37 PM

Castro was 3-3, that ain't a water boy day at the office. Whatever the purpose behind Manuel batting for Castro days ago, it seems to have lit a bit of fire under his butt ... lucky Skip or Skip with a purpose, short term it's worked.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2009 07:37 PM

We're just asking for it.

Ugh. Great job by Putz, botched by Castillo.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 07:46 PM

And Jones gets on after rolling one through the Luis Castillo Memorial Overpass.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2009 07:46 PM

Begging for it.

Nymr83 May 05 2009 07:47 PM

i came by earlier and almost posted but didn't want to interrupt Ashie's conversation with himself. Great job by Livan tonight.

Nymr83 May 05 2009 07:50 PM

Luis Castillo is:

Nymr83 wrote: i came by earlier and almost posted but didn't want to interrupt Ashie's conversation with himself. Great job by Livan tonight. If you can't talk to yourself, who CAN you talk to? Castillo obviously agrees. Although not with himself, apparently-- he slams the glove after that third out. (Take it easy, guy... have some Schaefer for the DPs. Though, y'know, not as much as you would have had two minutes ago.)

Fman99 May 05 2009 07:53 PM

I like it. You want these guys to be cheesed off when they fuck up easy plays.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 07:53 PM

Oh for christ sakes just let him swing the bat.

PiggiesTomatoes May 05 2009 07:53 PM

Let's go boys. A little insurance. Bad error by Luis but I appreciated seeing some emotion -- even if on the diamond.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 07:54 PM

Thanks Chipper, but god dammit, now you're just going to encourage them.

Fman99 May 05 2009 07:55 PM

WOW. Double fuck up by Atlanta on that one. Heads up baserunning by Murph to get to 2nd on that one. Now let's make em pay, (IBB to Beltran, based loaded no outs for Delgado).

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2009 07:55 PM

Loaded and no outs. How will we screw this one up?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 05 2009 07:56 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 05 2009 07:57 PM

Bases-loaded, nobody out. So... 4-6-3, or 6-4-3? UPDATE: Well, poop on me, then. Seriously... rabbit hole? Worm hole? Where are we? 'Cause it sure as hell ain't Atlanta.

Kong76 May 05 2009 07:56 PM

Oh stop, L'grabber ... rally up bitch.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2009 07:56 PM

Finally.

Fman99 May 05 2009 07:56 PM

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S INSURANCE RUNS! I am semi-erect.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 07:57 PM

Braves somewhat curiously playing the infield in. Guess there weren't planning on scoring more than 1 off of Frankie. Now they'll need a bunch more than that.

Frayed Knot May 05 2009 07:57 PM

We score despite Jerry's strategy!

PiggiesTomatoes May 05 2009 07:59 PM

Cerrano and Jobu come through!

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2009 08:04 PM

Maybe Jerry will call back Castro here and PH Santos.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2009 08:07 PM

I oughta be excited that we're about to win here but my God.

Fman99 May 05 2009 08:11 PM

I love when Keith cries because his scorecard gets all out of whack.

PiggiesTomatoes May 05 2009 08:11 PM

Another game, another 12 runners LOB.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 08:13 PM

Rodriguez is enthralling and somewhat terrifying. I keep half expecting his arm to fly off when he rears back for a big fastball.

Fman99 May 05 2009 08:14 PM

Frankie throws gas.

Frayed Knot May 05 2009 08:15 PM

I got a good idea ... let's NOT bring the tying run to bat.

Fman99 May 05 2009 08:16 PM

Jesus that foul ball went a ton. C'mon, Frankie.

Ruh roh again. Tying run at the dish, two out. Omar Infante hitting .352.

Carlos Delgado, Daniel Murphy, and the rest of "one-handed all-stars" need to be sent to a fucking little league field on the next off day to learn how to USE TWO HANDS

They were handed the insurance runs they needed. Expecting more out of all the runners we had is not greed.

OlerudOwned May 05 2009 08:28 PM

Had it all the way. Also, immediately after the drop, one of my friends walked in the room and pointed out that she was a Cardinals/Yankees fans, which I thought was just an attempt to goad me into suicide. Turns out her stepmother is Enos Slaughter's daughter. Neat.

Rockin' Doc May 05 2009 08:30 PM

Sometimes this Mets team wins despite themselves. Not often enough, mind you, but sometimes. Tonight seems to have been one of those games.

Rotblatt May 05 2009 08:30 PM

Ugh. A win is a win, I know, but why doesn't it feel that way?

="Frayed Knot"]They were handed the insurance runs they needed. Expecting more out of all the runners we had is not greed. I hold out hope that the 11-1 games are coming. Wright is starting to mash. Reyes doing more would be nice. Beltran is a god among mortals.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2009 08:36 PM

I'm hoping too but this year smells a lot like 2007 already.

Ashie62 May 05 2009 08:40 PM

Do I get any Schaefer as the last minute IGT guy? We did win

Elster88 May 05 2009 08:40 PM

The bullpen is such a huge difference than 2007. Parnell looks great. Frankie hung on. I really am happy despite the ugliness of the win. I'm not a believer in karma or superstition or whatever but in 2007 or 2008 we lose this one. This bullpen reminds me more of the bullpen from 2006 that contributed to the Mets running away and hiding. Philly's starting pitching sucks. I feel great. Let's go Mets.

Parnell should be starting When Parnell's starting, his fastball is dialed back significantly (from 97-98 to low 90s). Also, his secondary stuff is iffy. This, along with his not-so-overwhelming minor-league numbers (compiled as a starter) paint a picture of an effective fastball-slider late-inning reliever; he COULD be an effective starter, but it seems kind of unlikely.

Gwreck May 05 2009 10:05 PM

Wasn't worried for a second. Francsisco gets paid the big-boy dollars to deal with situations just like that. In some ways, Putz' inning was more important. Glad to see him getting it done too.
