For SHaMe: Gay Dame IGT 8/5

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2009 07:54 AM

How would you like to be the Mets today? Humiliated in a game you had in your back pocket, then brought out to do it again in a camp-day nooner when it's 130 degrees. It's like they deserve it.

soupcan Aug 05 2009 08:24 AM

They do deserve it.

Opposite field homer by Wright into the bullpens? Don't see that much these days.

OH AWESOME.

Gwreck Aug 05 2009 10:36 AM

My gameday just says "injury delay." Can you be more specific?

Ashie62 Aug 05 2009 10:37 AM

I cant fucking believe it

Ashie62 Aug 05 2009 10:38 AM

Looks like pulled hammy and knee collapse on other leg taking warmup toss

Gwreck Aug 05 2009 10:38 AM

Does this injured player have a name?

That was a scary moment for Niese... Figgy on call

I think we just need to put David Wright on the DL now to prevent future injuries.

themetfairy Aug 05 2009 10:47 AM

I cannot believe this. Poor Niese!

HahnSolo Aug 05 2009 10:52 AM

Figgy, say it with me, "helps his own cause" with a big 2-run triple.

TransMonk Aug 05 2009 10:54 AM

I like these gay dames lately where so many runs are scored early that I only have to look in from time to time and not hang on every pitch. I'm looking at you, Figgy.

I saw Bob Gibson do that one time. Hurt his leg changing directions while running the bases and insisted on coming out for warmups in the next half inning. He collapsed like a wet sand castle as soon as his stride leg hit ground.

I'm not so sure it's a good thing that pitchers have 4 of our last 10 RBIs

I'm curious to know if some of our long time fans have ever seen the like of this with the injuries .

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 05 2009 11:21 AM

A Modest Proposal: Forfeit all remaining games; turn scheduled home games into "Met rallies"/autograph sessions/fan-feedback events. Apart from carpal tunnel problems, no one gets hurt at autograph sessions. Actually, scratch that-- no autograph sessions.

Rockin' Doc Aug 05 2009 11:28 AM

The way things are going this season, I'm starting to think that the show "Deadliest Catch" is about playing defense for the Mets.

Ashie62 Aug 05 2009 11:35 AM

And Zach Branff who plays a Doctor on TV appears says "I've never seen anything like that (Niese) does that that happen often? Response from mic "Around here it does"

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2009 11:50 AM

1987 had a lotta pitching injuries. One after another. But nothing like this year, when two pitchers, subbing for other injured guys, injure legs running the bases or fielding. Crazy

Frayed Knot Aug 05 2009 11:52 AM

'73 was the one I thought of too. I remember a lot of guys playing out of position for a while - particularly in the OF.

Frayed Knot Aug 05 2009 11:54 AM

But, in the meantime, Holliday just whiffed w/the bases loaded and it's still 5-0 heading for bottom 5. All of which means we have an outside shot at winning this game.

Edgy DC Aug 05 2009 11:59 AM

metirish wrote: I'm curious to know if some of our long time fans have ever seen the like of this with the injuries . In 1987, the entire pitching rotation disappeared at the start of the season --- excepting Sid Fernendez. Their sixth starter was David Cone and he ended up breaking his finger during a bunt attempt --- in injury that he would later claim gave his pitch added movement. And 2004 was no pic-a-nic with injuries to Floyd, Piazza, Matsui, Reyes, Scott Erickson. Victor Zambrano more or less arrived injured that year. 2005 wasn't as bad but they all came at once. The same day that Beltran and Cameron collided, Cliff Floyd went down hard. He was clearly in system shock pain throughout his body but he insisted on staying in, even as it took him 20 minutes or so to collect himself. Willie left him in and continued to play him and I hated Willie that day. Floyd was a wreck the rest of the season.

Odds are in just now NY Mets are 4/1 to win this game.....unheard of odds in the betting parlors with a five run lead.

smg58 Aug 05 2009 12:10 PM

After being at Citi on Monday night and hearing the less-than-warm reception that Figueroa got, I hope he got cheered loudly today.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2009 12:14 PM

In '67 it wasn't injuries though but vigorous turnover + some military commitments. Somewhere I did a list of guys by years... I wonder if someone has a database of that stuff. Hey we're kicking ass

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 05 2009 12:24 PM

This year's a bit like if the 1985 and 1987 injuries got rolled into one big lump, plus you took out Keith and, say, Backman for half a season, broke Teufel's hand so, say, Kelvin Chapman started 120 games, and Carter lost his power for a year. Oh, yeah, and midway through the season, the team trades Lenny Dykstra for late-career Tony Armas.

This team is awesome about not letting shit like comically humiliating losses interfere with them. They will do what they will do (which is play at 6 games under 500). Off to San Diego we go (and four consecutive 2-1 losses, probably).
