METS: Daniel Murphy 1B Alex Cora SS David Wright 3B Gary Sheffield RF Fernando Tatis LF Fernando Martinez CF Brian Schneider C Luis Castillo 2B Livan Hernandez RHP (5-2, 4.05) Yankees: Derek Jeter SS Nick Swisher RF Mark Teixeira 1B Alex Rodriguez 3B Robinson Cano 2B Jorge Posada C Melky Cabrera LF Brett Gardner CF Chien-Ming Wang RHP (0-6, 11.20)

Edgy DC Jun 28 2009 05:08 PM

Churchie a late scratch.

Edgy DC Jun 28 2009 05:35 PM

I'm in a tinkernig mood, so I'm going to suggest they respond to the Churchless Sunday by boppping Castillo up to leadoff, dropping Moiphy to third, and bumping Wright and Sheffield back. I assume that Reed comes in and bats eighth.

bmfc1 Jun 28 2009 05:43 PM

I would have done what you suggested, Edgy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 06:13 PM

This is stupid already. RRRrrarrrghh

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 06:14 PM

The stupidity in the field continues.

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 06:14 PM

fuck murphy, if you're gonna throw to 3rd you gotta get it

metsguyinmichigan Jun 28 2009 06:15 PM

I really, really, really hat Derek Jeter.

Edgy DC Jun 28 2009 06:15 PM

Jerry seems to have given them a pep talk before the series encouraging them to press and try to do too much.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 06:17 PM

I'm not going to be able to take much of this.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 06:25 PM

I think I'm going to enjoy Fernando's work in the outfield. Next year.

themetfairy Jun 28 2009 06:26 PM

This is just fugly.

Edgy DC Jun 28 2009 06:27 PM

It's cool. It just took six outs, that's all. Bring on Wang.

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 06:28 PM

Morgan thinks most batters averages are better with the bases empty, except the "great rbi men" NL average bases empty: .255 NL average with runner(s) on: .261 AL: .259 AL w/ runners: .271 sorry, joe.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 06:28 PM

Now, to eat some Wang.

Edgy DC Jun 28 2009 06:30 PM

Everybody takes a strikie until I say so.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 06:31 PM

Wang sucks. I wonder if a lineup of minor leaguers is what he needs to get himself right.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 06:32 PM

Reyes taking some infield and batting practice. Huh. I saw on the ticker during a soccer game that he won't be back until after the ASB. But shouldn't the break be like next week or something?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 06:36 PM

Nice camerawork on the Sheff single. Hats off to ESPN.

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 06:39 PM

Wang is going to right himself tonight against these clowns. Tatis just went hacking at a 2-0 pitch and popped up to right

bmfc1 Jun 28 2009 06:42 PM

Why would Jerry replace Church w/Tatis rather than Reed? Tatis isn't hitting and he's a poor fielder, as shown by his fumbling the ball in the first. At least Reed can field.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 06:44 PM

Perhaps we can trade Livan to a contender.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 28 2009 06:45 PM

Suck on that, Wang.

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 06:46 PM

Martinez just dove and took away what would have been a hit for Wang

metsguyinmichigan Jun 28 2009 06:53 PM

Phillips and Morgan going on and on about the prowess of ARod, failing to mention that his entire career is now under the shadow of PED use.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 06:54 PM

Miller getting hot and bothered describing ARod's workout routine. They failed to mention whether the HGH injection comes before or after the one hour swim.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 28 2009 06:55 PM

(high-five to Elster)

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 06:56 PM

I've muted Dumb & Dumber on ESPN, the radio is a few seconds ahead of them but thats fine, it means i can turn around and watch the tv if it sounds like an exciting play

bmfc1 Jun 28 2009 06:58 PM

That was a good inning: the Mets cleared the 6, 7, 8 and 9 spots.

bmfc1 Jun 28 2009 07:00 PM

"Robin Yant"???

themetfairy Jun 28 2009 07:02 PM

"A magnificent foul" by Nick Swisher. Morgan makes my ears bleed.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 28 2009 07:05 PM

Mets give the MFY's two extra outs in the first inning and Wang looks like Cy Fucking Young tonight! Too many MFYLDB's at Citi this weekend. Miller, Morgan and The Grudge are as bad as any local hacks announcing games anywhere. Livan can't be shaken but where will the Metsies find runs tonight?

on WFAN they just said that Perez had a good outing for Brooklyn tonight. i know its short-season A against guys who were drafted in the late rounds a couple of weeks ago but its SOMETHING, right? just checked the brooklyn site, 5 innings, 6 ks, 1 walk, 2 hits, 0 runs. dont see a pitch count anywhere

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 07:10 PM

Only Jeter with his limited range could make that look like a good play.

I'm sure he would too. And he'd be wrong again.

Edgy DC Jun 28 2009 07:23 PM

Third Wangiewalk, and first leadoff hitter reaching. Let's see some non-doubleplay plays.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 07:27 PM

Tatis made a solid effort at the DP, just didn't hit it hard enough.

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 07:28 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 28 2009 07:29 PM

metsguyinmichigan Jun 28 2009 07:28 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 28 2009 07:29 PM

FERNANDO!!!! (Damn high fence) On edit, looks like fence height wasn't an issue.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 07:29 PM

Martinez should've gotten 3 bases out of that.

bmfc1 Jun 28 2009 07:30 PM

As someone who hasn't been impressed with Fernando M., I should say that I was impressed with the opposite field power on that shot.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 07:31 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 28 2009 07:32 PM

Some catchers tape their fingers so the pitchers can see the signs better. Posada paints his nails white. Seems about right. His wife is hot though. She must be a beard.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 07:31 PM

Castillo with the clutch hit makes up for FMartinezs weak baserunning.

Castillo comes through!

CASTILLO!

Castllo steals 2nd on the first pitch. screw posada's pussy arm

I usually don't agree with stealing with two outs and the pitcher up, but it looks like Castillo had a huge jump.

It's so important for ESPN to give us the exact same recap they gave us an hour ago that they can't give us a replay of the third strike on Murphy.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 28 2009 07:47 PM

David is SO due for a hit.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 28 2009 07:53 PM

If you're gonna walk Jeter, might as well drill him in the back and save the wear and tear in your arm.

Jerry leaves in Fernando, and that was an automatic out, instead of PHing Evans, and now he has Santos in against the righty and he can't PH Santos when Rivera comes into the game.

NICE glovework by Castillo on the hot smash. Wright and Sheff due up. Someone, please, for the love of God, do something.

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 08:56 PM

Castillo's got that shit taken care of. can we stop walking people? i feel like oliver perez is on the mound. lets get 2 here!

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 08:56 PM

Castillo really does have a sick glove out there. He just snagged another hard grounder to end the inning.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 08:56 PM

Well, now is the time.

Edgy DC Jun 28 2009 08:56 PM

Hard to imagine where we'd be without Castillo tonight.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 28 2009 08:57 PM

Nicely done, Luis. The walking is still vexing. I'm terribly vexed.

Frayed Knot Jun 28 2009 08:57 PM

I hate bitching about umps, but can we get a fucking close call to go our way before the weekend's out? Like maybe one just so I can see what it feels like. ARod saw 8 pitches - at least 6 of which were strikes and he still walked.

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 08:58 PM

Holy hell. ESPN finds a way to replay the Castillo gaffe AGAIN in their "best of Interleague 2009" SportsCenter tease. Jeez, just die ESPN.

Edgy DC Jun 28 2009 09:00 PM

Steal?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 28 2009 09:00 PM

Wright on. Good. Now who's bunting?

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 09:00 PM

Wright gets a 4 pitch walk. I wouldnt send him with Sheff up there, but if Sheff gets out i'd have him running.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 09:00 PM

Sheff'll bunt here, just watch. It's Jerryball!

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:00 PM

Leadoff walk for Mr. Wright thanks to Brian "Next in Line" Bruney (see last night's IGT for an explanation of that nickname).

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 09:02 PM

Jeter with a 1-handed catch. note how there is no criticism when he does it.

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 09:02 PM

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 09:04 PM

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:05 PM

Tatis with the BB and now it's on. Mo "Electric Pool" Rivera warming up in the pen, Fartinez up in a big spot.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 09:06 PM

Martinez is not a real Met unless he gets a hit here.

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:06 PM

Wow, am I the only one who KNEW that they'd get him to chase some high shitty pitch?

bmfc1 Jun 28 2009 09:07 PM

OHMIGOD! HE'S HORRIBLE, and yes, he's 20.

Martinez looks stupid again. send him down. its not that he sucks, but he's 20 years old and just not ready offensively

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:07 PM

Here comes Mo.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 09:09 PM

Jon Miller has every inning of Rivera's career memorized.

bmfc1 Jun 28 2009 09:09 PM

I loved it when Jeter walked and Miller said that Jeter "coaxed' the walk, like he talked the ball into being out of the strike zone.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 28 2009 09:09 PM

I'm trying to visualize success. I keep seeing Omir flailing at a bounced cutter 6 inches off the plate.

metirish Jun 28 2009 09:10 PM

STFU about fucking Rivera.....

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 09:10 PM

Let's beat the Fruitbat

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 28 2009 09:16 PM

Well, you don't expect him to go looking there.

Frayed Knot Jun 28 2009 09:17 PM

I'd like to see that pitch on 'K-Zone' too. Could have been a strike but, either way, it would keep with the no close calls going our way weekend.

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:18 PM

Ugh, continued.

Frayed Knot Jun 28 2009 09:19 PM

We can't just keep handing shit to these assholes!!!!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 09:20 PM

What do you say we fire Jerry just to make someone pay.

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:24 PM

Well, sure, they're scrappy. But they suck.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 09:26 PM

Wait they're on ESPN again tomorrow? This is cruel and unusual. Are they on SNY too?

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 28 2009 09:27 PM

You'd think with these three genuises in the booth, we'd all be a little bit smarter by the 9th inning. No chance. I'm just a lot more aggrevated.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 28 2009 09:29 PM

9 walks tonight. (1 more, and we get a free sub!)

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:29 PM

Ugh. They continue to call him "K-Rod." We're not using that term, Jon. Maybe you could lurk around here a bit more like the SNY crew does.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 09:30 PM

Good switch there by Jerry. Perhaps Gary doesn't get that ball.

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:31 PM

Reed in for Sheff to make the catch. Soft rain commences for the Craptain.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 28 2009 09:31 PM

Smoked??? Really, Jon. What a douche. Jonny hyperbole. Damn, how he wanted that to be a hit.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 28 2009 09:32 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 28 2009 09:33 PM

I don't generally root for injury. I wouldn't be terribly unopposed to a headshot here, so as to make him pull/bat Rivera.

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:33 PM

Walk Jeter here to pitch to Rivera? I say yay. But Jerry? No, Jeter 5 for 10 lifetime vs Frankie. Booth and I properly mystified.

metirish Jun 28 2009 09:33 PM

Can someone explain this to me?

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 28 2009 09:33 PM

Finally.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2009 09:34 PM

You just know something shitty is going to happen here.

Frayed Knot Jun 28 2009 09:34 PM

No point in even fucking around there. Shoulda thrown four wide ones to start. btw, Mariano got an AB the other day in Atlanta. He smoked a liner to CF that was caught.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 28 2009 09:35 PM

Throw fucking strikes.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 28 2009 09:35 PM

Cue the walk/bloop hit.

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:36 PM

Is this the last time anyone ever bats wearing #42 again in a MLB game, short of on the day when everyone wears it?

metirish Jun 28 2009 09:36 PM

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:39 PM

This is why Steve Phillips loves interleague play. Fuck you, Steve. Go kick yourself in the cunt.

Frayed Knot Jun 28 2009 09:40 PM

I usually don't root for injuries, but I was hoping Mariano would pull something on one of his swings so so we could hear Hank-enstein bitch about interleague play again.

Elster88 Jun 28 2009 09:41 PM

I forgot about that pop-up way back when. How many legitimate runs did the Yanqs score today.

Nymr83 Jun 28 2009 09:41 PM

strike 3 on the check swing might have been a gift, but who cares its over

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 28 2009 09:41 PM

One batter too late! Fuck.

themetfairy Jun 28 2009 09:41 PM

The fucking inning is finally over. That was excruciating.

Fman99 Jun 28 2009 09:41 PM

Teixeira makes his cumsies face as the 3rd base ump rings him up on the check swing. Now let's ruin this a-hole's 500th save fucking party. Let's Go Mets!

I had to turn the damn game off after the walk to Rivera. I just couldn't take hearing the Yankee fans chanting, "Let's go Yankees" in our house.

A. Rubin NYDN: As for why K-Rod threw a strike to Derek Jeter with two on and two out in the ninth inning Sunday, Manuel said that was a mistake. The idea was for Omir Santos to set up way off the plate and see if Jeter would chase, but K-Rod missed the spot and threw a strike. Manuel knows Jeter is relatively patient, but he just wanted to see if the Yankees captain would swing at an awful pitch before conceding the at-bat. Manuel recalled the Cubs-White Sox rivalry, when Sammy Sosa was so intent on driving in a run with two in scoring position, first base open and the pitcher up next, "He swung at pitches almost in the dugout." Manuel also noted that Carlos Lee while with the White Sox had no discipline once a player reached scoring position.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2009 06:29 PM

There's a surprise: The Mets didn't execute properly.
