Sheff gets no love or at-bats. I guess we don't need a power hitter out there. [sigh]

Again? We're facing the fucking snakes again?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 07:50 PM

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention: the guy they called up to take Upton's slot-- Trent Oeltjen-- is a dirty, thieving Aussie.

All I know is, Spider-Man is from Queens. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i5P8lrgBtcU&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i5P8lrgBtcU&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Ashie62 Aug 10 2009 08:01 PM That Gary, Keith (Vacation sash) & Ron banner was classic John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 08:12 PM Fucking pitcher driving in 2 runs. metsguyinmichigan Aug 10 2009 08:13 PM Freaking pitchers hitting two-run doubles. Horrible.

A two run double to the pitcher. Pagan diving for a ball he couldn't catch, again, to let a second run score that would not have had he pulled up. And so it continues. Maybe Pelf can get Yahoo Serious to pop up. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 08:15 PM A) All else being equal, intentional walks suck as a strategic move. B) Angel Pagan is NOT a great defensive outfielder. Worse, he seems to think he is. Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:17 PM At this point I'd rather watch a spinoff of the NY NY Sports Sports guys. seawolf17 Aug 10 2009 08:18 PM ="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr":3q7oozb5]A) All else being equal, intentional walks suck as a strategic move.[/quote:3q7oozb5] Them and sac bunts. I'll never understand. Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:22 PM Eight straight Mets outs. Much like I am about to do, the Mets seem to be laying down. Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:24 PM ="seawolf17":3oyp9311] ="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr":3oyp9311]A) All else being equal, intentional walks suck as a strategic move.[/quote:3oyp9311] Them and sac bunts. I'll never understand.[/quote:3oyp9311] At least those contain the word "sac." As in, "watching Mets games is like a kick to the sac." Or "satchel," as I have been calling it at work to be polite. This game is paining me in my satchel. Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:26 PM Fuck Mark Reynolds. Fuck Miguel Montero. Fuck them in their stupid asses. Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:28 PM Pagan kicking the ball around like A-Rod out there. Missed two cutoff men. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 08:31 PM Man in scoring postion... and here's the requisite basehit afterward. I'm not sure that even Art Howe could call Pelf a "battler" with a straight face. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 08:35 PM Castillo's gimping again. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 08:39 PM It's like every single mistake of any kind this year has led directly to runs. It's bad enough that they've made a ton of them but would it be so bad if we could maybe get away unscathed once or twice? Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:40 PM Tatis with the 2 RBI double. Good thing Sheff's not in there! (Derp.) John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 08:44 PM Spectacularly nonproductive out by Muffy there. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 08:44 PM Triple for Tatis, replay shows him jogging slowly out of the box. That couldn't have been an inside-the-parker right? Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 08:49 PM And now this AB - with no one on - the pitcher swings like a 3rd grade girl. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 08:53 PM Wow. I think walking AndyHandy is worse than walking the pitcher. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 09:01 PM Arizona's running the bases well. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 09:01 PM Now that was Tatis not hustling. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 09:02 PM Oh good, there's another mistake which will come back to bite us. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 09:04 PM ="Frayed Knot":4z8fftxw]It's like every single mistake of any kind this year has led directly to runs. It's bad enough that they've made a ton of them but would it be so bad if we could maybe get away unscathed once or twice?[/quote:4z8fftxw] It seems so. The Community Chest pile has dealt a few bank errors in our favor, though-- yesterday's no-touch-a-the-plate call being one. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 09:05 PM They're hitting peas. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 09:07 PM He hit that so hard that with Francoeur's arm Oeltjen might not score if Tatis holds him to a single. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 09:10 PM So let's review: - not getting the ball in allows the runner to get to 2nd - if that doesn't happen then there's no need for the IW a batter later - also the subsequent FO to CF doesn't result in a tag to 3rd - and finally, when one more out would allow us to escape unscathed, Pelfrey serves up a 2-out RBI single because there's some kind of fucking law that prevents him from getting an out there. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 09:11 PM As soon as he's in the stretch, he's like a fidgety middle-schooler on a date, trying his first yawn-and-stretch. I'm kind of sick of watching Pelfrey, frankly, and could do without it for a while.

Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 09:25 PM It's like Pelfrey has two paths he takes; the innings are either 1-2-3 or he gives up runs. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 09:58 PM Nice of Elmer "Hanging Slider" Dessens and Anderson "Badly Timed Jump" Hernandez to each do their best to give Rusty Ryal a hit in his first big-league turn at bat. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 10:03 PM Muffy's having a hell of a game. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 10:14 PM All this lousy play, then they go and tease us with a tiny rally that ends when Castillo of all people whiffs.
