I read someplace that Rubin was actually scheduled to be off this week (or at least this series) and even came in on one of his days off specifically because they were having the press conf - so, at least for now, I wouldn't look at his absence as anything other than just coincidence. I guess that makes Adam like the guy in 'Clerks' who whines through half the movie that "I'm not even supposed to be here today" as all kinds of shit is happening to him and around him.

metirish Jul 28 2009 05:44 PM

Could Jeff have come across anymore insincere in his apology?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 28 2009 06:20 PM

Cora?!? Just as I was splooging over how this team is finally picking one another up.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 28 2009 06:21 PM

PS, fellas, 3-0 on a picket fence through 4.

SteveJRogers Jul 28 2009 06:51 PM

I have the sound down, did the scoreboard at Citi just shut down? BTW, beer recommendation, Sam Adams Irish Red. Quite tasty. Must remember this on St Patty's Day '10.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 28 2009 06:51 PM

You guys are missing a good game. Go Big Pelf!

Nymr83 Jul 28 2009 06:51 PM

Pelfrey loads the bases and dances out of trouble to end the 6th, still 3-0

Mendoza Line Jul 28 2009 06:51 PM

Pelf appears to have borrowed Johan's sack for the evening.

bmfc1 Jul 28 2009 06:53 PM

SNY put a guy on camera with "Phuck" (in Phillies script) on his shirt.

Nymr83 Jul 28 2009 06:54 PM

Wright just lost ANOTHER homer to Citi Field, hitting it off the one part of the fence in center thats higher than the rest (right in front of the apple)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 28 2009 06:54 PM

Stupid apple-disguising wall.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 28 2009 06:57 PM

When they do finally get rid of this place, 78-year-old Dabidrye will trample right-handed hitters 1/3 his age to hit the TNT plunger.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 28 2009 06:59 PM

F*&%, HOTLINE!

metirish Jul 28 2009 07:06 PM

Keith just makes me laugh every time he goes on about how important icing an injury overnight it, he's so adamant about his technique. Ron Hunt it was that told him , ice it all night and you'll play the next day.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 28 2009 07:16 PM

Respectfully, Todd Helton, STFD. Stretch it out, y'all.

Fman99 Jul 28 2009 07:17 PM

Good stuff tonight, Cory's Haim-like performance notwithstanding. Pelf, Frenchy, Wright, Muffie in the field, Feliciano solid again, etc. Lot's to be optimistic about tonight.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 28 2009 07:21 PM

STUFF ALERT: It could be unfamiliarity with how his offerings look, but Gameday's got this kid Chacin throwing five different pitches... to Schneider alone.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 28 2009 07:27 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Jul 28 2009 07:30 PM

Two on, two out? Hitter's count? Let your hottest hitter bat? FUUUUUUUUCK THAT SHIT.

]Keith just makes me laugh every time he goes on about how important icing an injury overnight it, he's so adamant about his technique. Ron Hunt it was that told him , ice it all night and you'll play the next day. hey if Hunt says it then its gotta be true, he got hit FIFTY times in a year!

Fman99 Jul 28 2009 07:33 PM

Pedro says, "Fuck you Mark Buehrle." Five up, five down.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 28 2009 07:33 PM

Speaking o' which, OoTS-wise: Soft tosser/our new pitching overlord Mark Buerhle perfect AGAIN through 5 innings at Minnesota. ML-record 43 straight batters retired.

Fman99 Jul 28 2009 07:35 PM

Alexi Panos of Beer Money is one choice piece of real estate.

Fman99 Jul 28 2009 07:42 PM

WOW. No replay yet but figured Castillo to be a dead duck there. OE: Replay shows, ump fucked up. But it's cool.

Nymr83 Jul 28 2009 07:43 PM

it looks to me like the ump missed that one, Castillo was a dead duck at the plate.

Just put on Gameday Audio. Francour hurt now?

metsguyinmichigan Jul 28 2009 07:46 PM

Nice game! Omar should call out writers more often if it makes then play like this. Tomorrow he should hold a press conference to say Jon Heyman begged to be bat boy and Joel Sherman was caught writing on the wall of the Ebbets Club!

Not only was Castillo out but that was a bad send by Razor w/0 outs even if he was really safe.

Fman99 Jul 28 2009 08:01 PM

Mets win. Five and one half games within the wild card. Fourth straight win. Shit's getting crazy!

TheOldMole Jul 28 2009 08:01 PM

4 straight.

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 28 2009 08:21 PM

Go out for a quick dinner and a movie with the wife (finally saw Hangover and it was very funny) and the Muts in another stunner. Thankfully there were only a dozen folks in the theatre and no one saw me refreshing the Gamecast on the blackberry. Let's go Mets.

Kong76 Jul 28 2009 08:27 PM

Stop, young Will Robinson. Danger! Danger! Danger!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 28 2009 08:46 PM

Well, a couple big plays and some excellent pitching helped cover up a multitude of baserunning sins (2 caught stealings, Cora out stretching at 2nd, Castillo safe on a bad send/bad call). I thought the last three were made of stronger stuff, but this is plenty SHaMy for me.

Edgy DC Jul 28 2009 09:40 PM

Clean defense has been a silent difference maker over the course of the mini-streak. I mean, winnng with Daniel Murphy batting cleanup? How about that?

Gwreck Jul 28 2009 09:54 PM

Fun times at Shea. Hat tip to G-Fafif for a good time at the chance meeting over pregame dinner. Murphy flashing the leather was fun. Got an extra ovation from the crowd who I think were genuinely surprised to see Murphy make such a good play. Was also nice to see that Pelfrey apparently has now learned how to cover first base. Baserunning errors drove me a little mad but what was really the worst was Pelfrey's ridiculous dawdling he was doing before each big pitch. Wanted Wright to go over and yell at him again to cut it out and just pitch. (He should watch a Mark Buehrle start).

Edgy DC Jul 29 2009 05:36 AM

You know, I think you're on to something there. You've got a big guy with a lot of stamina pounding the lower half of the strike zone with a heavy sinking four-seamer, consistently hitting 95, but not getting a lot of strikeouts. Guys are able to foul it off, but it can't be pleasant, and maybe he shouldn't be giving them time to recover.

Nymr83 Jul 29 2009 06:26 AM

I don't often believe radar guns, but this seemed to be the hardest Pelfrey was throwing all year if you believe Burkhardt and the booth. Remember when his college coach came on a few starts ago and wondered where his velocity went? maybe he found it. this outing was nice in terms of results, but there were too many baserunners to make me feel that Pelfrey has suddenly turned a corner.
