Welcome back, Carlos. Despite everything the "shut him down" crowd has said, I'm glad you're back for the next few weeks. Hit some homers, make some nice catches, and enjoy some peace of mind this winter.

He's actually back? Seriously? I'm shocked.

Hey, we're down 2-0, but his Beltran guy is hitting .335!

Tim Redding thinks it's 5th grader pitches night. What a complete waste this bum has been.

Well it's not like we ever thought he'd have a regular spot in the rotation.

[quote="Valadius":137nvazl]Well it's not like we ever thought he'd have a regular spot in the rotation.[/quote:137nvazl] That's exactly what he was brought in for and exactly what he failed to do in a season where just about everyone was giving him that chance. Fuck Tim Redding.

Re: IGT Mets v Marlins 9/8/09

i like this silent sixth thing, i think, though it kinda defeats the purpose of having the game on in the background of doing something else - i can no longer not pay attention and still follow along.

and i barely caught the end of the inning, again cos i was hardly paying attention - but nice play there!

Lol. It would have been nice to hear Gary's call of that crazy play at home. Give me the emotion over the natural sounds.

Re: IGT Mets v Marlins 9/8/09

I like it too. Gimme words and no picture (radio) or pics and no words. I oftenb watch muted but I like the ambient noise. Pretty fortunate get at the plate. If Thole gathers it in properly the inning continues. But nice play by Elmer.

Creepy Sun Baby prefers the raucous 7th. First and second no out. Let's go Mets! OE: I'm too retarded to post a picture.

A sac bunt there (Pagan's AB) would have been stupid even if it worked!!

Well, OK, here's what you paid for back in April. Bases loaded, game on the line, Wright and Beltran due to hit.

I've seen about enough of Redding, but there some lousy execution in that game didn't much help (Frenchie, Wright, especially).

Re: IGT Mets v Marlins 9/8/09

Redding dug his own grave. Runs were from walks and HRs (ie. defense not involved). One more start in the DH on Sunday and then we should just release his ass to save the per diem $$. Wright should've had a second error and Uggla should've had one too when Castillo was given an infield hit. Pagan was already around second on his triple and the crowd was rooting for the inside the parker. Can't believe Razor actually put up the stop sign for once. Dessens was NOT in proper position to back up at the plate and got very lucky.

Re: IGT Mets v Marlins 9/8/09

So anyone care to explain Kyle Singh's signature call " going for the sandwich " , instead of calling a strike a strike he would say it's part of the sandwich , I was rolling on the floor laughing at the kid. What gimmicks are in store for tonight's game?

Re: IGT Mets v Marlins 9/8/09

In the post game interview, Jerry wasn't exactly thrilled with Pagan's failure to lay down a bunt. Twice. Then making an out. Later

Re: IGT Mets v Marlins 9/8/09

1st and 2d, none out, down by 2, 7th inning... you definitely do not have a decent hitter, perhaps any hitter, give up one of your 3 chances to get in the runners. Another example of bad managing by Jerry.

Re: IGT Mets v Marlins 9/8/09

Particularly when you're bunting into Luis Castillo, the guy voted in his HS yearbook three years running as the boy least likely to score anyone on a Sac Fly and also the least likely to knock in more than one runner even if he does manage a hit. The only excuse there is wanting to stay out of the GiDP but Pagan batting lefty is one of the lesser candidates to do that anyway. Like I said earlier, I don't like that move even if it works!
