IGT: Mets at Nats, 6/5/09

G-Fafif Jun 04 2009 08:50 PM

Chico Harlan is rooting for Putz to not make it back in time for Friday's game yet not be replaced on the roster. One fewer player to potentially bore him with baseball talk.

Chico Harlan wishes the series was at CF so he could enjoy Shake Shack.

Fman99 Jun 05 2009 06:36 AM

Chico Harlan loves Nationals Park. It's quiet there and it's the perfect place for him to do his beloved Sudoku puzzles. The fuck.

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2009 07:35 AM

No not Sudoku. Remember that Chico hates baseball because it's not intellectual or cultured enough. He likes a quiet stadium because it gives him more time to read Proust.

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2009 12:09 PM

Now we just have to hope it stops raining in DC. Considering what they waited through trying to get Wednesday's game in -- in-stadium waterfalls and a near 4-hour wait; plus what they played through on Thursday -- delayed start for game 1, truncated game 2, and steady and often heavy rain throughout both; this game could either be played in shitty conditions or not started until midnight.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 05 2009 12:09 PM

A quiet, non-vibratory stadium also gives him ample chances to catch up on his Kanji-- he's interested in the characters more than anything. (The nitty-gritty word-by-word? Not as much.)

Forecast for tonight in DC doesn't look too threatening: ="National Weather Service"]Tonight: A chance of rain, mainly before 3am. Cloudy, with a low around 56. North wind between 6 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Nymr83 Jun 05 2009 05:14 PM

come on Bltran, that was STUPID, you dont try and stretch it into three with 2 outs

Nymr83 Jun 05 2009 05:23 PM

yeah BS double for Wright!!

Nymr83 Jun 05 2009 05:25 PM

Murph's fly out gets Wright to 3rd base, 1 out.

Nymr83 Jun 05 2009 05:28 PM

Tatis wa SAFEEE at first but called out by the blind umpire crew. oh well, he got the run in.

Keith's pretty eccentric in the booth for a stud first baseman.

metirish Jun 05 2009 06:32 PM

Second and third with no outs and the Mets don't score . On the plus side Redding looks good

themetfairy Jun 05 2009 06:41 PM

Shit! After four good innings, Redding suddenly remembered that he sucks....

seawolf17 Jun 05 2009 06:44 PM

Tim Redding can haz double play?

seawolf17 Jun 05 2009 06:45 PM

Ooh, and just like that! Nice!

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 05 2009 06:58 PM

Beautiful...Beltran and Wright thrown out at third. Ugh! Time to remove your collective heads from your arses, boys.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 07:00 PM

This is the inning of the foulout. One to third. One to first. Next one to catcher.

Ashie62 Jun 05 2009 07:07 PM

Leadoff runner on..Tatis shakes it off

Ashie62 Jun 05 2009 07:12 PM

Emil, not the son of Gates, Brown

seawolf17 Jun 05 2009 07:14 PM

Okay, Gary, this would be the time to jack the crap out of one. (Unless they're going to switch him for a lefty here as they bring in MacDougal.)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 05 2009 07:15 PM

E-mail Brown is a big fella, isn't he.

Kong76 Jun 05 2009 07:15 PM

A62: Tatis shakes it off <<< I wasn't watching, what did he shake off?

McDougal (sp?) throwing some filth.

That would make a good avatar.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 07:35 PM

It'll make a better one if Murphy can beat the lefty here.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 05 2009 07:36 PM

I half expected Beltran to go to third again.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 07:36 PM

Nopes.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 05 2009 07:39 PM

Muffy's gotta start cashing in on these opportunities. Let's go Fartinez...

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 07:39 PM

Big moment for F-Bomb.

seawolf17 Jun 05 2009 07:39 PM

Fartinez with the bases loaded. Come on, Fernando. Get primordial.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 07:40 PM

Swing at strikes, man.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 05 2009 07:42 PM

Winning these kinda road games only gets tougher as you go. It's time for Bobby Parnell to Own the 8th Inning™.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 07:46 PM

Nothing against Parnell and company, but why pull Stokes after 12 pitches and dominance?

I've never been to a minor league game but I'd imagine this is what a great AAA game looks like.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 07:54 PM

Go to a minor league game. Actually better entertainment than the bigs when your kid isn't in school yet.

Ashie62 Jun 05 2009 07:55 PM

Cora, Cora, Cora!

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2009 07:58 PM

It's not a good sign when you're not even scoring off the Nationals' bullpen!!

Sean Green: Pitch like Dr. Evils spawn

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 08:00 PM

Hate only using our pitchers one inning at a time and keeping Francisco Rodriguez in reserve. This is a war of attrition.

I didn't notice any mention of it being national 'Get thrown out at 3rd Base' day on my calendar. Either that or it's national 'Strand a Runner' day.

They're celebrating National Donut Day by putting up donuts.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 08:07 PM

Let's see if they bunt Wright.

seawolf17 Jun 05 2009 08:08 PM

David wants to hit this ball into next week. Just a single, David.

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2009 08:10 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 05 2009 08:11 PM

FINALLY!!!! (and no one got thrown out at 3rd in the process)

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 08:10 PM

Doubles are nice, also. Get up, Francisco.

seawolf17 Jun 05 2009 08:10 PM

See? Just like that. 3-1 good guys. Now we hope a little hit like that gets him started.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 08:11 PM

Death at Third Night.

seawolf17 Jun 05 2009 08:11 PM

How many times does he want to get thrown out at third base in one night? Fucking hell, David.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2009 08:20 PM

I go to mix a drink and return to find out the Mets score have scored 2 runs and probably should have had more. I guess I should have started drinking earlier. Come on Frankie, time to close this one out.

If you're going to try stealing third base, you damn well better make it.* *At least that's what my high school coach told me and I've always subscribed to that theory since then.

Tellya what, that single by Castillo on the 0-2 pitch was big.

Anyone going to put this one in the book? The bleeding has stopped...for a night anyway.

Zvon Jun 05 2009 08:40 PM

Havent been here to post but youz kept me updated. Thnx. Nice win.

Frayed Knot Jun 06 2009 08:48 AM

The one time I actually want Jerry to bunt and he won't do it: 5th inning, 1-run lead, 2nd & 3rd, none-out, and the power trio of Redding, Cora & Castillo due up. It would be tough squeezing w/Redding since he's probably no good at it (he grounded out) but trying it w/Cora would have been the best option IMO. Turns out that he grounded out too and so we took a bagel in the inning when Castillo couldn't come through with a hit. I mean if you're not going to squeeze there ...
