METS: Luis Castillo 2B Alex Cora SS David Wright 3B Gary Sheffield RF Fernando Tatis 1B Ryan Church CF Nick Evans LF Omir Santos C Mike Pelfrey RHP (6-3, 4.26)

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 01:56 PM

I think they should entertain the idea of Churchie as number-two hitter.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 07 2009 02:01 PM

Maybe not vs. a lefty like Kershaw.

]Mets just finished a drill that involved calling for shallow pops. I'm not joking nor should you be joking, they need to work on this and a bunch of other things. ]Not that it worked out too well the first time he did it, but Jerry Manuel had the #Mets out early for infield practice today. because you know that everything that doesnt produce immediate results is a bad idea. idiot. the mets should be taking early infield, late infield, and 2AM infield if necessary.

I don't. Small sample sizes, but Church has a .255 OBP in 49 PA this year against lefties (.318 career) while Cora has a .408 in 51 PA (.336 career) Cora, for his career, has actually hit lefties better than righties

Nymr83 Jul 07 2009 05:04 PM

its game time, can the mets turn the season around against the best team in the NL? at least we miss Billingsley!

Nymr83 Jul 07 2009 05:16 PM

Manny gets in Hirshbeck's face over a called strike 3, but no ejection. John should have told him that the roids must have hurt his eyesight.

Nymr83 Jul 07 2009 05:32 PM

NASTY 12-6 curveball gets Sheffield looking

Nymr83 Jul 07 2009 05:50 PM

fuck. pelf walks hudson with the bases loaded and then ramirez breaks his bat but brings in 2 more on a blooper. where is everyone tonight? watching michael jackson funeral reruns?

themetfairy Jul 07 2009 06:02 PM

Was out on a hot date with my hubby - Home Depot and Border's Books. Which was much more exciting than listening to this drecky game....

Nymr83 Jul 07 2009 06:17 PM

FUCK YOU CASTILLO we're down 3 runs with wright and sheffield coming up and you get thrown out trying for 3rd base??? I HATE THIS FUCKING TEAM

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 06:18 PM

I was out exercising too. You can pin that defecit on me. Credit me with the waxing rally also.

Nymr83 Jul 07 2009 06:21 PM

wright flies out, and sheffield never gets to the plate with runners on. its a sad commentary on where this season has gone that getting Sheffield up there with runners on is the goal of an attempted rally. hurry back Carlos!

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2009 06:26 PM

I had no problem with Castillo going to 3rd there. Screwing up the groundball, on the other hand, is another story.

We're never going to win another game. Ever.

Pelfrey got 9 outs while giving up 12 baserunners ... even though the Dodgers hit maybe 2 balls hard the whole time. But, we had Wright not get off a good throw on a high bouncer Castillo make an error on an easy grounder Pelfrey seemingly pitching around Furball for no apparent reason (which led to the first 3 runs) Plus an assortment of bleeders and bloopers sandwiched around their few good hits

fugly again

metirish Jul 07 2009 06:46 PM

I'm enjoying watching Kershaw pitch, I need a reason to watch and he is it.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2009 06:52 PM

Note to NYM pitchers: You can't put the fucking lead-off guys on in every god-damn inning and expect to get out of the mother-fucking inning unscathed!! Yes, Manny's hit was a shattered-bat piece of shit but when you allow the first two guys on, then walk the two guys IN FRONT OF MANNY you can't play the victim card when he dunks a dying fucking bird over the infield.

dgwphotography Jul 07 2009 06:52 PM

The Dodgers are playing like they have the home field advantage.... Oh.... wait...

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 06:57 PM

Frack it, I can't get this feldercarb over the internet.

Ashie62 Jul 07 2009 06:57 PM

Well, Reyes gets cortisone, that aint good...In season trades, nah, firings, nah Just gonna have to suck it down this season and hope for the best... THEN FIRE EVERYBODY

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:01 PM

Except Dessens, who just fanned Cheatiebraids with the bases loaded.

metirish Jul 07 2009 07:02 PM

That was a terrible call on Rameriz for the SO,

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:05 PM

A good call on Santos for the GiDP, however.

MFS62 Jul 07 2009 07:07 PM

Winston Smith was right. Later

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:14 PM

Top of the order. We need one pin, Rodney.

Redding is a bum. DeWitt gets his first homer of the year, and it's off the bleeping Pepsi porch.

Boo. Rinse. Repeat.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:26 PM

Hey, six-zip. Didn't drop the popup, however.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:30 PM

Way to go, Shef. Here we go. Tying tun on quadruple deck.

metirish Jul 07 2009 07:33 PM

This is piss poor, hey a DP ball from Church.

Fman99 Jul 07 2009 07:35 PM

The Mets lead the National League! (In GIDP's). Fuck.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:36 PM

OK, we stink. Do we really have to have to rub it in by playing "Crazy Train" for less-than-awesome at-bats by less-than-awesome players? Can we just play "Chances Are" and "Only Make Believe" for all at-bats until further notice?

Tell HoJo.

Jerry looks lost in the dugout.

Fman99 Jul 07 2009 07:43 PM

Boy, I am discouraged. Could I have been this down in 2003-2004?

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2009 07:43 PM

Phils tied w/Reds 3-3 in the 9th Twins in the process of losing their 345th game in a row to the Yanx. Most of them blowouts. 1-1/2 hours in and they're in the 4th. Braves lead Cubs 2-1 in the 6th

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:50 PM

Cincy takes the lead against Lidge. You know, if I squint, it looks like we lead 8-7.

seawolf17 Jul 07 2009 07:51 PM

I haven't watched a single inning of this game. And I don't even want to. This team has become so horribly unwatchable that I don't even think I would mind if they got rid of just about everyone.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:52 PM

You should squint.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 07:53 PM

That's 40 pitcches by Stokes this inning.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 07 2009 07:53 PM

Un-freaking believable.

I've said it before -- what is taking them so long to remedy that? Is it so fucking hard to stick a camera up in the corner and run a couple of wires? Call a fucking guy and get it done. Your broadcasts look like ass. Not that it matters, because everyone's already turned off the fucking game by the time we start worrying about who's in the bullpen. And not that it matters who's in the bullpen, because they're all interchangeable bags of suck.

metirish Jul 07 2009 08:19 PM

It could be worse and we could be there tonight , just started raining and I imagine it's miserable out there tonight , plus this would be a top of the line game for the Mets to charge....poor fuckers who paid top dollar for this.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2009 08:23 PM

Boo!

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 07 2009 09:37 PM

The only bright side to tonight's game is that I wasn't there. Was supposed to be but a family thing while we're up here visiting and had to pass on the game. Saw some of it and Pelfrey continues to baffle me. Walking in the run and bloop hit made me want to throw something through my sister-in-law's beautiful TV. Also baffling was Hirshbeck's strike zone. I'm surprised Manny didn't spit at him tonight. Incredibly inconsistent, Some pitches looked like he was squeezing Pelfrey, others horrible calls like a couple on Manny.

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, "Spanish Fly" or "Tijuana Taxi"-- a la every old WWOR game/talk show-- for everybody! Went bowling with the fiancee and two nieces. The bar in the alley had the Yankee game on and ESPN opposite. Didn't ask them to change it. Looks like I made the right call.

My first trip to Citi Field. Beautiful place to watch a shitty game.
