Holy shit the Mets are able to field a "team" Cora, ss Murphy, 1b Wright, 3b Tatis, lf Church, rf Santos, c Reed, cf Castillo, 2b Redding, rhp

TransMonk Jun 22 2009 02:36 PM

It's like an ode to the Art Howe days.

metirish Jun 22 2009 02:38 PM

LaRussa should sit Pujols or something.

Edgy DC Jun 22 2009 02:45 PM

Castillo: "I'm batting eighth?"

Vic Sage Jun 22 2009 03:28 PM

you're right... he should be batting 9th.

Valadius Jun 22 2009 03:41 PM

That looks like a Dallas Green lineup.

SteveJRogers Jun 22 2009 05:20 PM

Joe Torre and Casey Stengel also qualify with that lineup!

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2009 05:32 PM

The lineup scoffs at the collective lack of faith by throwing up two in the first. I'm watching via Slingbox on my son's iPod Touch in the waiting room of a hospital. Coolest app ever.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=santoom01&year=Career&t=b#bases Omir Santos situation splits are nuts. The smell of baserunners turns him from mild-mannered Tim Spehr into line-drive smashing Mike Piazza.

Farmer Ted Jun 22 2009 05:57 PM

Mets.com has Misch's # as --- C'mon, Charlie, give the boy some digits!

Pujols 0-2 against Tim Redding. Tatis batting cleanup. Omir hits with nobody on. We are through the looking glass.

Murph-a-boom!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2009 06:43 PM

I think Fernando might be a bit confused as to the meaning of "cleanup." (Although GIDPs are a pretty novel way to assay the LOB issue.)

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2009 06:50 PM

Smoked liner, anyone? Pujols' shot looked like it would've pinned Wright to the LF wall, Warner-Brothers-style, if he'd gotten in front of it.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2009 06:53 PM

Yeah, that's why you don't throw a curve for a strike at 1-2. (Especially not one of yours, Tim. No offense.)

seawolf17 Jun 22 2009 07:14 PM

Okay. Seriously, Mets? It's fucking JUNE. PUT A GODDAMN CAMERA IN THE GODDAMN BULLPEN.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2009 07:18 PM

Redding mostly clean through 7. This squad better get the most out of its 7th-inning stretch, since with at least one more dance with Pujols awaits, it's two innings of white-knuckle time.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2009 07:25 PM

Omir goes Moses Malone!

Ashie62 Jun 22 2009 07:26 PM

Omir Santos..your 2009 ROY candidate

Ashie62 Jun 22 2009 07:28 PM

This game has a John Stearns Doug Flynn Steve Henderson Pat Zachary feel too it Lotta empty seats too

Ashie62 Jun 22 2009 07:31 PM

Enter Skip Lockwood

Fman99 Jun 22 2009 07:38 PM

Crunch time as Jerry brings in Stokes to face Mr. Poo Holes. Gary keeps calling him "El Hombre" which I find odious.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2009 07:38 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 22 2009 07:39 PM

Slightly screwball-y fastball gets Schumaker. It doesn't work on Tyler Greene (PHing for Rasmus). Pujols coming to bat. Stokes (not K-Rod?) in for Pujols-wrangling. Ding ding. (I think this is the year when everyone's decided Pujols needs a nickname.)

Fman99 Jun 22 2009 07:38 PM

Creepy sun baby wants a double play ball here.

seawolf17 Jun 22 2009 07:42 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 22 2009 07:42 PM

A Pat Misch sighting! Wearing #48. DOUBLE FUCKING PLAY! SUCK IT, PUJOLS! Thank you, Creepy Sun Baby!

Fman99 Jun 22 2009 07:42 PM

All hail creepy sun baby!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2009 07:42 PM

Nobody puts Creepy Sun Baby in a corner. Pujols had a chance to earn his nickname from me there. He's not getting "Hombre" now.

Gwreck Jun 22 2009 07:45 PM

Who is this Stokes guy and where have we been hiding him? SC = 43

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 22 2009 07:46 PM

Pretty good game

Wow, Razor Shines has a hair trigger and the Mets get a run on an RBI single by Cora.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 22 2009 07:53 PM

Creepy Sun Baby rocks!!!!! Hang in there, Mets! One more inning!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2009 07:54 PM

Razor's one for two tonight. And I think I'll call Cora "hombre." Yep. "Hombre" it is. Go ahead and stop me, media. (And shucks, Fman.)

Rockin' Doc Jun 22 2009 07:55 PM

I can't believe they sent Castillo there with no outs. A good throw and he's out by a mile. It was pretty damn close even on a bad throw from the centerfielder. I would have taken my chances with bases loaded and no outs with Murphy, Wright, and Beltran waiting to hit. Well, it worked out, but I still think it was a bad decision by Razor Shines.

Increasingly I am of the opinion that Razor Shines is an exceedingly nice guy with little-to-no depth perception. ]I would have taken my chances with bases loaded and no outs with Murphy, Wright, and Beltran waiting to hit. Um, Doc? I got some bad news for you...

Omir could've been out at the plate too, earlier in the game, had Molina made the catch on that throw. The throw came in ahead of the runner.

Come on Fernando. A little knock!

Can of corn for Churchie. One down.

More corn. Two down.

I'll be the jinx jerk-off...looks pretty easy for Frankie tonight.

THE METS WIN THE DAMNED GAME!

Yadier F. Molina, you're F. out.

We'll be right back with the happy recap!

Oh crap. You really know how to spoil a guys day. Just checked Mets.com and saw the bad news. I've been on vacation and basically haven't kept up with the Mets (or anything else) much in the past week. Just turned tonights game on in the seventh and been watching sporadically while unloading the car. Yay! We win.

Fman99 Jun 22 2009 08:10 PM

metsguyinmichigan Jun 22 2009 08:14 PM

Considering who we had to take the field, I think this was a darn good win!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 22 2009 08:18 PM

It was a nice game no matter who played it. I'm standing by my 19-1 prediction, even if I'm already off by at least 1.

Frayed Knot Jun 22 2009 09:33 PM

Even though it's closing in on midnight and the game's been over for nearly two hours, Tony LaRussa just changed pitchers again. Stay tuned for further updates.
