METS: Argenis Reyes SS Daniel Murphy 1B David Wright B Gary Sheffield LF Ryan Church Rf Fernando Martinez CF Brian Schneider C Luis Castillo 2B Fernando Nieve RHP (3-0, 1.31) Jerry's fair: everybody gets a turn batting first. Brewers: Craig Counsell 2B J.J. Hardy SS Ryan Braun LF Prince Fielder 1B Casey McGehee 3B Mike Cameron CF Frank Catalanotto RF Jason Kendall C Braden Looper RHP (5-4, 4.16)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2009 01:50 PM

Argenis F. Reyes 1st and Castillo 8th? Yeah, that makes sense. If I didn't know the Mets were gonna sweep this series convincingly I'd be out there leading the Fire Jerry NOW!!! bandwagon.

soupcan Jun 29 2009 02:34 PM

That lineup is just sad.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 29 2009 02:39 PM

I don't think we'll see a Jerry firing before the end of the season at the earliest. Despite the many inexplicable decisions he's been making, he'll get slack because the injuries will be blamed for the losses.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2009 02:40 PM

Plus he's going to get all the credit when we reel off 11 in a row, which is any day now.

THIS is some gangsta shit (he offers, along with the disclosure that he generally has fluctuating levels of respect for Ozzie Guillen). ]Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was asked why attendance was so low for the Dodgers series. "Because our fans are not stupid like Cubs fans," Guillen said. "They know we're [expletive]." http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-29-cubs-britejun29,0,5303027.story

Luis Castillo's OBP this year against RHP: .383. Argenis Reyes' [u:e60fc1fdd6]LIFETIME[/u:e60fc1fdd6] OBP: .252. Seriously, I wonder sometimes if Jerry remembers that the object of the game is to WIN.

Edgy DC Jun 29 2009 04:48 PM

It's clear that he knows something about Argenis that we don't. It may also be something that God doesn't know either.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2009 05:38 PM

Isn't a shortstop either.

bmfc1 Jun 29 2009 06:00 PM

The ESPN feeds not on in NY, right? Orel Hershiser must think we're stupid: They put up a graphic of the top offensive duos, "25 and under" (Braun, Felder, etc.). Hershiser goes: if you're wondering why Kevin Youkilis isn't on the list, it's because he's older than 25. I didn't grasp that from the title of the graphic! The concept was too confusing. Thanks, Orel!

themetfairy Jun 29 2009 06:01 PM

Fuck - we're hitting so badly that we're making LaVerne look like a good pitcher.

Kong76 Jun 29 2009 06:10 PM

Looper - orig jb Mets leave bases loaded.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 29 2009 06:12 PM

Good teams-- power or no-- cash in there. We didn't cash in there.

Nymr83 Jun 29 2009 06:16 PM

Nieve doesnt have it tonight. Looper just drove in a run.

Nymr83 Jun 29 2009 06:26 PM

CHURCH GUNS OUT LOOPER AT THE PLATE!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 29 2009 06:26 PM

Double-switch here? Killing your defense while burning a potential pinch-hitter is kind of... um... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, yeah-- DUMB. Of course, so is sending a slow pitcher on a shallow fly on any OF not named, "Johnny Damon." Nice gun out of Churchie, though.

Castillo has failed in 2 bid spots tonight, i dont mind a double switch so Dessens can pitch longer but pulling Castillo (who despite the famous error is sure handed) for tatis means we're likely to see more of our recent infield error issues pop up tonight.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2009 06:31 PM

Boy that Argenis Reyes is just dynamic.

Nymr83 Jun 29 2009 06:32 PM

by the way the date is wrong on this IGT

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 29 2009 06:49 PM

On Argenis's error, Orel mentions that the wrong Reyes is playing SS for the Mets. You are correct, sir!

McGhee pulls a Castillo! LETS CAPITALIZE!!

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 29 2009 06:53 PM

Did we just capitalize on the opponent's mistake???? WOW! Maybe the worm is turning.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2009 06:54 PM

Never thought I'd see the day when The Schnied is our best hitter.

Popups to first work too. Stokes shares Felicano's inability to throw intentional balls.

]June 29, 2009 BREAKING: Surgery for Beltran? beltrancu.jpg (UPDATED) MILWAUKEE -- In a ominous-sounding move, Mets New York Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran Carlos Beltran flew to Vail, Colo., today for a second opinion on his ailing right knee from the inventor of microfracture surgery. The Mets confirmed that Beltran was in Colorado to have the knee checked out by Dr. Richard Steadman, the surgeon who devised microfracture surgery in the 1990s to mimic missing cartilage. Beltran has been on the disabled list since last Monday with what the Mets described as a bone bruise in his knee. If Beltran ends up having microfracture surgery, he would miss the rest of the season, at the least. The surgery, which involves drilling holes in the knee so that blood and bone marrow clot to form new cartilage, has been done on numerous NFL and NBA players. Among the notable NBA players to have the surgery are Amare Stoudamire, Tracy McGrady and Greg Oden. The success rate has varied, with some players -- most notably basketballers Jamal Mashburn and Terrell Brandon -- forced to retire. Beltran was steered to Steadman for a second opinion by his agent, Scott Boras, with no backlash from the Mets. "It's a group decision that they want to have another view of it," Mets assistant GM John Ricco said. "With a player of this importance to us, there's no argument on our end to get another look."
