Darn...No Argenis reyes???? Thank God!

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 05:07 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 30 2009 05:16 PM

It's actually the most sensible lineup I've seen top-to-bottom in a while. Church and Martinez are the only lefties, so there was commitment to benching Reyes today. I see us winning by at least seven.

Farmer Ted Jun 30 2009 05:09 PM

Why a 7:05 start last night and an 8:05 start tonight? Is Milwaukee multi-time zone sensative?

bmfc1 Jun 30 2009 05:14 PM

Last night's game was moved up an hour for ESPN.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 30 2009 06:15 PM

Home... run?

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 06:15 PM

Wright-Centerfield. Brilliant.

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 06:16 PM

It was laying off those sliders away that set that shit up.

Mike Burns eats worms.

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 06:21 PM

Magee Hickey kept that inning from spiraling away from the Brews.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 30 2009 06:29 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 30 2009 06:30 PM

Same for us in the bottom of the inning. (It's like he's his own inverse-- boot a bunny, hit a slam; make a glove save, go down harmlessly later.)

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 06:30 PM

I see number 6 plaing first and I'm thinking about Mike Marshall.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 30 2009 06:37 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 30 2009 06:38 PM

I see 5 groundouts in the first two innings, and I'm thinking about Joel Pineiro, and I'm real glad David laid off those sliders.

Yeah, do that shit, Mike Marshall.

Kong76 Jun 30 2009 06:43 PM

Did Mike Marshall flash diving leather like that?

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 06:53 PM

Mike Marshall was two teaaspoons removed from Dick Stuart and one removed from Dave Kingman. No, he didn't flash leather like that. Meanwhile, any day with a reference to Bernie from Room 222 is good.

Kong76 Jun 30 2009 06:55 PM

Funny, I was just going to post that they showed TransMonk in a Brewers jersey and that he really let his hair grow out.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 30 2009 06:56 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Jun 30 2009 07:02 PM

Johan's fastball is getting spanked so hard in the third, it's like a Masons hazing ritual. Also, the third-base coach remembered the "send" sign. The lead is halved.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 30 2009 06:56 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 30 2009 07:03 PM

The junk, however, appears to work fine. Johan works out of trouble-- how many times has someone written that this year?-- to get Fielder and McGehee, and verges on getting out of the third relatively unscathed.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2009 07:02 PM

Shit call on ball 4 to Kablammeron.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2009 07:04 PM

I'm happier to see Kendall let down his teammates and be the goat than Cameron there. Good job Yohan.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 30 2009 07:04 PM

Mets picking up on some suspicious behavior in the booth. Probably nothing, but I'd ask to dress him down, anyhow.

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 07:13 PM

If all he's trying to do is work his splitter grip, then he's sure tippng that pitch off.

EDC: Mets picking up on some suspicious behavior in the booth <<< What does that mean?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2009 07:18 PM

Burns was tugging at his glove or soemthing and they suggested he could be smuggling an emery board in there.

Oh my , you watch the Mets and you are likely to see something that you never saw before in a game

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2009 07:23 PM

Don't walk the pitcher and these fielding goofs are more comical than scary

It's a comedy of errors. But only other teams' fans find it funny. So it sucks is what I'm saying. NICE -- Warthen gets tossed.

Unreal. Little league out there.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2009 07:29 PM

A Little League Grand Slam. On a fucking 0-2 pitch.

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 07:29 PM

Well, that closes the books on Warthan. Game is in Randy Niemann's hands now.

Swan Swan H Jun 30 2009 07:30 PM

Braun takes his helmet off before he crossed the plate there. That's beyond bush, and he needs to eat some horsehide next time up.

metirish Jun 30 2009 07:30 PM

I don't even know what to write.....it's just all going pear shaped

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 07:31 PM

Speaking of Little League, let's remember Burns ain't crap.

Gwreck Jun 30 2009 07:32 PM

Don't mind getting beat by Ryan Braun; he's a good hitter. Drives me crazy though that we are consistently unable to make proper relay throws. Good throw by Cora gets Hardy at the plate I think.

Hey, at least the Mets rolled over like a dead fish in their turn.

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 07:48 PM

No, they hit alright. Chance here.

Edgy DC Jun 30 2009 07:49 PM

Tatis. DP. Um, bad?

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 30 2009 07:49 PM

Bad News Fucking Bears. That's the most frustrating part of this slide and frankly even going back to Willie as manager -- horrible fundimentals. In the field, on the basepaths, in the batter's box and from the mound. Too many runners thrown out on base, walks by pitchers, dropped balls, pitchers and fielders falling over (maybe there's some balance training for Pelfrey, Castillo and Fartinez), throws to the wrong base allowing runners to take extra bases, weak fucking pop outs, inability to move runners over. Worst of all is an apparent lack of fight and emotion. That shit ain't gangsta; that's weak and a reflection on the manager. It's a team without character and -- it seems -- without chemistry. No fucking swagger. Although swagger has some relation to play and with the way these boobs are playing, swagger would be slightly comical. Notwithstanding tonight's homerun, Wright has been a disappointment. Is it possible to hit a more quiet .340? With everyone hurt, he's had a perfect opportunity to step up and lead and it just hasn't happened. We know about the injuries and you can't do anything about that (probably) but the sloppy, uninspired play is fucking embarrassing.

bmfc1 Jun 30 2009 07:51 PM

They look like they are psyched out by the home plate umpire.

Kong76 Jun 30 2009 07:52 PM

I'm glad I can't read into everything like that ... I'd be even nuttier.

Gwreck Jun 30 2009 07:55 PM

I'm sorry, David's "quiet" .340 is not something we can complain about. Is there anyone getting more hits in the league? Nope. He can't put the people on base ahead of him to drive in. As for the fundamentals? It's a HUGE problem, and I don't understand why Jerry isn't being called on the carpet more for this. He, Razor Shines and Sandy Alomar are doing a piss poor job of making sure the Mets play solid defensive baseball. It's just terrible.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 30 2009 07:56 PM

Braun should get fucking drilled. Saw the clip again of him scoring with the helmet in had. Dick!

Swan Swan H Jun 30 2009 07:58 PM

Not my first choice, but making Braun look bad on a change-up works.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 30 2009 07:59 PM

I don't think you can complain about Wright. He's all by himself in that lineup. Probably hasn't seen a decent pitch to hit since Beltran went down. I fear this is on the verge of being a lost season.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2009 08:00 PM

]We know about the injuries and you can't do anything about that (probably) but the sloppy, uninspired play is fucking embarrassing. I agree with that much. We can do without swagger or chemistry or even a more productive Wright (I'm ain't complaining too much about Wright, he's having a weird year) but if we catch the ball a little more often and stop getting out-executed so much we might be inspiring and fun.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2009 08:00 PM

Meanwhile, since Wright's HR this clown has faced the minimum

Evans with the double. POP QUIZ: How will he get doubled off?

Fire all of the assistant coaches. Worked in 1999.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 30 2009 08:03 PM

Jerry isn't Bobby V. And this outfield might actually be worse than that one.

Another out by Martinez. I hope he noticed that the other CF stayed on his two feet and caught the ball. Jerry plays him everyday while Reed, certainly better right now, sits on the bench. And yes, I know he's 20 but I don't give a flyin' frig.

Fielder hit that like it owed him a sandwich.

HahnSolo Jun 30 2009 08:15 PM

Speaking of Jerry, shouldn't he have at least mosied on out of the dugout while his pitching coach was getting the heave-ho?

Fman99 Jun 30 2009 08:16 PM

Score may as well be 50-2 the way the Mets are hitting.

No argument here. At least someone with a voice and perspective is calling it what it is.
