Pagan, cf Cora, ss Wright, 3b Murphy, 1b Francoeur, rf Sullivan, lf Tatis, 2b Schneider, c Perez, lhp A-Hern in uniform tonight but Tatis gets the nod at second.

Fman99 Aug 07 2009 06:51 PM

I had a 30 minute nap today, and the kids are bedding down early. Gonna watch me some Mets tonight.

metirish Aug 07 2009 08:02 PM

Rickey Henderson will join Gary and Ron in the booth later , something to stay up for.

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:07 PM

Its Friday and I hit don't hit the bars anymore..so, game on LETS

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:08 PM

Pagan's have no fear

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:08 PM

GO

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:09 PM

METS

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:12 PM

Thank you David! 1-nil

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:16 PM

Last night the booth had Jerry Coleman calling YS3 a bandbox, maybe Rickey can do some more good public service

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:17 PM

Time to be Cory

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:19 PM

2-0 Correia 27 pitches now

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:19 PM

Tatis time

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 08:20 PM

Hotline, with the best pitch-taking I've seen by a Met in the last five minutes. (That's a Run Watched In for you in my book, guy.)

Valadius Aug 07 2009 08:21 PM

We sure as hell need this running start, considering who we're throwing out there on the mound tonight.

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:22 PM

Ollie has two-make it so

Fman99 Aug 07 2009 08:24 PM

Nice start for the good guys. Let's see if Ollie decides to a) run with it, or b) shit on it.

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:25 PM

a) run with it..Ashie has a feeling lol

Ashie62 Aug 07 2009 08:30 PM

Oliver Twist is out of the first..yippee

Fman99 Aug 07 2009 08:42 PM

Impressive - Ollie comes back from 3-0 to get the K. Ronnie makes the same observation, this happens so rarely this year for him.

Fman99 Aug 07 2009 08:44 PM

Kyle Blanks up, who apparently is [url=http://www.angelfire.com/nd/billbrasky/]Bill Brasky reincarnate.[/url]

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 08:47 PM

"Did I ever tell you about the time that Bill Brasky hit a lazy, ineffectual fly ball to left?" Nasty tail on those fastballs, no? I have a weird feeling about tonight.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 08:52 PM

Murphy appears to have caught whatever Tatis had before the last week or so.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 09:01 PM

Hey, Tatis may be 0-for-2, but he's seen two Frenchy-Games' worth of pitches so far tonight. (A sadly rare skill on the SHaMmers.)

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 09:05 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 07 2009 09:05 PM

STFD, Princeton fuck. WICKED slider on 3-2. (HURRAH, HURRAH, PENNSYL-VA-NI-YAH)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 07 2009 09:05 PM

Ah crap. That big dude just smashed a double.

PiggiesTomatoes Aug 07 2009 09:06 PM

I know he's not dead because I see him in the dugout but has Jerry been diagnosed with a terminal disease? Turned the game on last inning and it sounded as if Gary and Ron were eulogizing Manuel. Speaking to his humanity throughout all of this year's ordeals, etc. I'd half expected to hear that he'd been canned.

Valadius Aug 07 2009 09:08 PM

I'm chuckling to myself because I see that the second base umpire is listed as Randy Marsh.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 07 2009 09:11 PM

I confess to be listening in on the MFY game at the same time. Sterling did a "IT IS HIGH... IT IS FAR .... IT IS going to be caught in center field..." on Tiexera last inning. Still 0-0 there, top 12...

Ol' No-SugarTits was doing his weekly interview with Manuel... and he couldn't stop praising the guy for "not losing (his) sense of humor" and "proving (his) character." He sounded like a schoolgirl with neckfat. Whatever he's got, it must be exotic.

Valadius Aug 07 2009 09:18 PM

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2009 09:18 PM

Gary & Ron's "eulogy" was triggered by Burkhardt having filmed a kind of 'Day in the Life of Jerry' feature this afternoon.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 07 2009 09:20 PM

Hey, Eckstein actually got hit by a pitch without purposefully leaning into it.

Fman99 Aug 07 2009 09:23 PM

Ollie cruising through 4 innings, one hit. It's like he's a pitcher or something.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 09:27 PM

If MLB were a prison, Kevin Correia would have a "DW" branded on those sweet, new-meat cheeks.

Fman99 Aug 07 2009 09:27 PM

David 3-3 tonight, 9-11 off Corriea lifetime. Bing!

Ollie sets Bill Brasky down looking. And so it continues.

God, I wish I could go bowling with some cavemen.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 09:36 PM

Venable pops up to Pagan, and Ollie has one more 1-2-3 for Old Nas-sau.

Edgy DC Aug 07 2009 09:39 PM

If Ollie can keep his pitches in the strike zone tonight, maybe Francoeur can keep his bat there.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 07 2009 09:40 PM

Can't remember the last time the Schneid had a hit.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 09:42 PM

Are they getting bored? Or just feeling helpful? 'Cause I can't think of another reason why Met batters have been swinging at everything the last three innings, when going the other route got 'em 6 hits and 2 runs.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 09:43 PM

"WHOA! Check out that outfield! It's HUUUUUUGE!"

Valadius Aug 07 2009 09:43 PM

Schneider is perilously close to the Mendoza line. I say his usefulness has run its course.

Ollie takes down Evereth... becauthe he ith there. 7 Ks, 1 hit through six.

The Met bats got a little excited earlier. They're taking a nap now. Ollie rocking and dealing. Stretch that shit out. Had no idea there was a video for this... much less one so gorgeously of its time.

Pagan needs work on that shot over his head. Second time this week he's pulled a Hundley out there.

Yeah. Hey, guys who were anointing him as Beltran-lite in CF? He's not. Not remotely.

Lotta speedy Padres out there.

We suck for not scoring more since inning 1.

I try and see his dad in his swing, but he's... kinda wristier and quicker. More flick and less stroke.

Fuck. As bad a call at home as that was Frankie has no one to blame but himself. Double fuck!

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2009 10:54 PM

Unfrickinbelievable!! SD makes a bad call to send that big galoot who makes a bad slide at the plate where the ump makes a bad call ... but all that's secondary to the leadoff walk shit.

PiggiesTomatoes Aug 07 2009 10:55 PM

I'm sure it's in my head, but it seems the more exagerated his delivery is, the wilder his pitches. Triple fuck.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 07 2009 10:56 PM

Wagner taught the Mets nothing. Just throw the most money at the guy with the most saves then throw up your hands when it all goes wrong... and it will...

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2009 10:58 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 07 2009 10:59 PM

Edgy DC Aug 07 2009 11:08 PM

My PotG generator gives Rodriguez a score of -14.63. .

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2009 11:12 PM

Frankie's last 13 batters faced: 5 hits (1 1B, 3 2B, 1 HR), 4 walks (1 intentional), 1 error (Cora), 3 retired (1 K, 1 deep FO, 1 shallow PO) = 7 runs

Edgy DC Aug 07 2009 11:27 PM

Now, a sane takeaway from this game is, "Hey, that Stokes guy has sure earned a lookisee. Maybe we'll pull Rodriguez back until he re-asserts himself. Give Stokes a few shots." Baseball don't work that way no more.

Kong76 Aug 08 2009 05:28 AM

Went to bed eigth inning feeling good..Nice way to start the morning Are the Mets better right now than anybody? Uh, guys, you can shave now

metirish Aug 08 2009 07:41 AM

I didn't stay up but from reading this page obviously it was bad. Just watched the lowlights on my MLB app and wow Frankie is getting hammered throwing junk up there. On the play at the plate to tie this up who made the cutoff throw , Schneider looked like he did all he cold with that throw.

Frayed Knot Aug 08 2009 08:19 AM

="metirish"]On the play at the plate to tie this up who made the cutoff throw , Schneider looked like he did all he cold with that throw. The newly called-up and just-in-for-defense Andy Handy is your culprit. He got rid of it quickly and the throw was hard - but putting it on the 1st-base side of the line is the worst thing you can do there, If anything err to the 3rd base side. Worst that happens there is the catcher gets killed. And maybe I'm just imagining things but it seems that just about all our relay throws this year have been just off enough to prevent a bunch of outs. They're either in-between bounces, or on the wrong side, or whatever. That's why I thought it was a stupid move to send that big lug home - a better throw has him dead and there were no outs at the time. Of course when your closer faces 5 guys and retires none of them it kind of doesn't matter.

MFS62 Aug 08 2009 10:28 AM

On the pitch just before the slam, the batter was struck out. The replay showed the pitch got at least a few inches of the outside corner. But the ump called ball three. Why? I blame Schneider. Instead of keeping his glove steady and "framing the pitch" for the ump, he caught the pitch and moved his mitt a few inches toward the center of the plate. That's called "pulling the pitch" and is a ploy catchers have used for ages to try to make umps think a pitch off the plate was really a strike. In this case, I think the ump felt that Schneider was trying to fool him, and called it a ball without really seeing that the pitch was a strike. Called strike three and who knows what the outcome is? Later

Kong76 Aug 08 2009 01:09 PM

I'm watching SNY HD Encore (the last three innings) and the bottom is about to fall out. I think they need to change the name of the show dependent on what they are replaying for jeebusake.

Edgy DC Aug 08 2009 01:19 PM

I blame the ump when the ump blows a call.

Kong76 Aug 08 2009 01:25 PM

The replay shows didn't do that ending justice in just how craptacular that was. That last AB was painful even knowing what was going to happen.
