IGT--Yankees @ Mets, 06/27/09

bmfc1 Jun 27 2009 01:39 PM

METS: Alex Cora SS Argenis Reyes 2B David Wright 3B Ryan Church RF Gary Sheffield LF Daniel Murphy 1B Jeremy Reed CF Brian Schneider C Tim Redding RHP (1-2, 6.08)

Frayed Knot Jun 27 2009 03:33 PM

I thought Reyes might start instead of Cora since he hasn't had a day off since his return. Maybe tomorrow. Other than that the lineup is as expected against the RHP.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 27 2009 04:51 PM

This raspy a-hole. On the pre-game. Is making. My head hurt. (Is this Chris Carton?)

Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 04:57 PM

The Cap'n and the Caveman out with the flu after sharing a sippy cup, or something. Jorge the chinless is back, however. Here's the rogues gallery: B Gardner CF N Swisher RF M Teixeira 1B A Rodriguez 3B R Cano 2B J Posada C M Cabrera LF R Pena SS A Burnett P

Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 05:17 PM

Redding nibbling, walks Swisher and Teixiera after getting Gardner to pop up, and Rodriguez has a chance to get a hit that actually matters.

OlerudOwned Jun 27 2009 05:18 PM

I don't like not liking Mets, but watching Tim Redding pitch probably causes me more discomfort than any visual experience. The nibbling. The niiiibbling.

Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 05:19 PM

Rodriguez does what he does best, fly out in a big situation. Robby Cano (and Tyler, too) up with two down, 1st & 3rd.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 27 2009 05:19 PM

Schneider's glove is bouncing around like he's indicating sing-a-long lyrics. Redding's command is crap to start this inning... a few more like this, and it'll be all over, very quickly.

Nymr83 Jun 27 2009 05:22 PM

Cano is saved by a yankee fan in the front row ona foul ball, but then strikes out anyway.

Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 05:22 PM

A textbook mook Yankee fan knocks away a pop-up from Wright, but Redding is way more man than Cano and blows a fastball past him to end the inning scoreless.

OlerudOwned Jun 27 2009 05:23 PM

I like to fancy myself an easy-going and reasonable person, but would somebody kick that motherfucking douche-faced mongoloid mook of a Yankee fan's ass until he's shitting out of his own mouth. Or, you know, just eject him from the premises.

Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 05:25 PM

I defer to OO in his description of the mookness of the mook in question.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 27 2009 05:27 PM

I say any time you can get the worst-hitting member of your team some extra at-bats by hitting him 2-hole, you've got to make that call.

Jerry rationalizes this by assuming that if Cora ever gets on base again Reyes can move him over with a bunt, whether the situation calls for it or not.

Also, there'd be beard-rubbing, and probably a hearty laugh, and something vague like "I think he can get some good at-bats in there, maybe get going a little."

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 27 2009 05:39 PM

As long as it isn't game-impacting, I hope Burnett gets on at some point tonight; he seems like the kind of guy who would pull a Wang on the basepaths.

Teixeiria makes a really annoying face when he bats. Yes, I know I've reduced myself to the simple judgment of "I don't like his face." No, I don't even care.

Zvon Jun 27 2009 06:05 PM

Swishybomb gives the Skanks a 1-0 lead. Burnett's wearing my old bicycle chain around his neck. Wassupwidat?

Zvon Jun 27 2009 06:25 PM

We need a big game from Church and Sheff and so far both look like shit at the plate. For that matter so does everyone else in the lineup tonight. Its early yet....

Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 06:33 PM

Murf gets on here and comes around to score. Just wait.

Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 06:34 PM

Bah. Melk this.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 27 2009 06:34 PM

Hat off to Cabrera on that one. (I'm guessing Muff doesn't feel the same.)

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 27 2009 06:36 PM

PREDICTION (guaranteed right or your money back): Schneider will hit at least one ball very, very hard off Burnett tonight.

OlerudOwned Jun 27 2009 06:36 PM

Melky is terrorizing poor Muff tonight.

bmfc1 Jun 27 2009 06:42 PM

Would Cabrera be in LF if Damon wasn't sick?

Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 06:47 PM

Probably not. He'd he applying warm compresses to the back of his Captain's neck.

seawolf17 Jun 27 2009 06:49 PM

Well, shit, the wheels have fallen off this one quickly.

seawolf17 Jun 27 2009 06:51 PM

Four pitches, four hits, four runs. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

OlerudOwned Jun 27 2009 06:51 PM

4 runs on 4 pitches. That's amazing, frankly.

Zvon Jun 27 2009 06:52 PM

And officially its no longer early yet. SHIT. Posadahere!

I thought Redding was just beginning to corral his pitches. Then he falls apart. He looked pissed when he got the hook too. WOOT! Mets have a hit

themetfairy Jun 27 2009 07:01 PM

At least we're not going to be no-hit in our own park by these motherfuckers tonight.

Edgy DC Jun 27 2009 07:02 PM

I come home, and the hit parade starts.

Zvon Jun 27 2009 07:11 PM

I'm gonna suggest Church just take every pitch off Burnett from now on. Man is he gettin fooled.

Gardner pops up to Wright for the first out of the seventh. But seriously, David -- and I'm picking nits here -- but USE TWO FUCKING HANDS. Omar, go drag Jerry out back and fire him now, mid-game.

Ya know, this bothers me too, and I was starting to think maybe I'm just being an old fashioned, cause I see this one hand stuff alot anymore. With David its the swiping the glove down after the catch that equally bothers me, cause I know someday he will flub one of those, and it better not be because of that swiping his glove down business. Hope it just pops out before he swipes it. lol. Whats the logic in not using 2 hands? Are some taught that that other hand might get in the way or something?

We're missing a lot of good at-bats with the men on the DL, but they were at least grinding better a week ago. Yeah, they ran into three All Star pittchers, but fundamentals like taking a strike in the ninth (Wright) if the tying run is behind you would be nice to see.

Additionally, though I've seen my share of douches in blue and orange, I'm pretty sure you don't see any Met fan high-fiving any other Met fan about interfering with an opposing player's pursuit of a foul ball... then verbally taunting the player about the other fan's successful interference.
