Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

John Maine vs. K Kawakami..The Mets can pass the Braves in the standings with the correct, and expected turn of events.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 23 2010 11:09 AM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Kawakami is a free-base machine. If it's a parade of two-pitch, swing-at-everything at-bats against this dude, I'll be so angry that I'll... I'll... why, I'll...

"OMFG , JOSE REYES IS IN THE THIRD SPOT, OF ALL THE THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN....THIS IS CRAZY....."

Edgy DC Apr 23 2010 01:19 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

And Ike is ahead of Francoeur. I have a lusty feeling.

Go Jerry

Edgy DC Apr 23 2010 01:24 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

It's like he just needed a modest hot streak to reclaim the authority to act like a manager.

Dance like an idiot? You know full well that Wright, Bay, and Barajas are all striking out with men on base on balls out of the strike zone tonight.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 23 2010 01:38 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

And the moment that happens, you can console yourself with the amusing image of me, at home, trying to angry-tap-dance with a baby strapped to my chest.

metirish Apr 23 2010 01:47 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Amazing what this lineup change has done for my excitement level for this game.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 23 2010 02:17 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Psyched for this, too. Pagan in front of Castillo shouldn't alter Castillo's (or Jerry's) habits regarding bunting all that much, I don't think. Little change there. But Jose third could be regular old Jose with just more RBI. Should still have plenty of opps to run, too. Looking forward to seeing it.

Ceetar Apr 23 2010 02:24 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Yeah, until Reyes gets a CS, and Manuel says afterwards he ran through a stop sign.

Ashie62 Apr 23 2010 03:06 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

3-7 look tasty

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 23 2010 03:32 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Jesu Christo, have some dignity, Mets. I mean, he's got a girlfriend, and he's not interested, anyway. “We started pitching him away and he hit the other way hard and when we went inside, he pulled it with authority,” Barajas said. The display left Barajas impressed. “He’s way beyond his years, like a polished major league player,” Barajas said. “He’s so athletic. He’s got size, speed, everything you look for in a player.”

metsguyinmichigan Apr 23 2010 05:49 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

I hat Chipper Jones. You just knew he was going to do that.

metsguyinmichigan Apr 23 2010 05:51 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Maine walking people left and right, and now we get the phenom with the bases full.

metsguyinmichigan Apr 23 2010 05:52 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Struck him out on a foul tip. That could have been A LOT worse. Now let's get 'em back!

TransMonk Apr 23 2010 05:53 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Phuck the phenom.

metsguyinmichigan Apr 23 2010 05:58 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Frenchy heads to third on Melky's error -- man on third with none out! Get. Him. Home.

TransMonk Apr 23 2010 05:59 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Aww...for the love of...

Groan of despair.

That was the kind of thing Casey used to have to deal with.

metirish Apr 23 2010 06:07 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Maine leaving due to injury........sorry for him.....booth speculating something with his left arm. Are the fans fucking booing him?

metsguyinmichigan Apr 23 2010 06:10 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

What the heck happened to him?

metsguyinmichigan Apr 23 2010 06:18 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Yikes. Well, we can always bring Nelson Figueroa up from Buffalo to take his spot in the rotation. Oh, wait...

That was a shot...over the bullpens .450 they are saying...

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 23 2010 06:45 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Impressive shot by Ike there. Working the count leading up to it helped too I'd say. I missed Maine going down. What's his deal? I still think he's destined for the bullpen.

Idiot Don LaGreca and his obnoxious Met-hating boyfriend Michael Kay must be disappointed in how few infield singles Reyes hit tonight. Yeah, he's a shitty guy to hit in the middle of the order.

metsguyinmichigan Apr 23 2010 06:55 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Bay-bomb! Another triple, and that's gotta feel good for him.

metsguyinmichigan Apr 23 2010 07:04 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

With D-Wright's sac, we're going to hear Jerry say "I told you so" with this lineup after the game.

Fman99 Apr 23 2010 07:39 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Wow, Pagan paying attention and steals a run from the Braves.

soupcan Apr 23 2010 07:44 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Trying to follow the game on my Crackberry from Fla. It just said 'Reyes pops out to third, Pagan scores, error on Chipper Jones'. Would one of you fine gentlemen please tell me what happened? Thanks.

Fman99 Apr 23 2010 07:57 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Runners on 1st and 2nd advanced to 2nd and 3rd on an infield fly rule pop up... but Larry F. Jones dropped the ball. Absent minded catcher and first basement went out to first to discuss with the ump and Pagan smartly took off for home. No one covered and the run scored.

Fman99 Apr 23 2010 07:58 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

I am starting to warm to the idea of Tatis specifically as a RH hitter off the pine, he seems to have a knack for that role.

[quote="Fman99":qvrf8cw1]I am starting to warm to the idea of Tatis specifically as a RH hitter off the pine, he seems to have a knack for that role.[/quote:qvrf8cw1] That - plus the occasional fill-in start - is essentially all he was ever brought here to do in the first place. It was all those injuries which thrust him into a 300+ AB guy each of the past two seasons: pretty good in '08 ... not so hot for '09

bmfc1 Apr 23 2010 08:27 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

I've criticized Pagan for his lack of baseball savvy but he was the smartest player on the field during the Braves infield fly rule screw-up.

[quote="bmfc1":1m5vrgr6]I've criticized Pagan for his lack of baseball savvy but he was the smartest player on the field during the Braves infield fly rule screw-up.[/quote:1m5vrgr6] Coach Chip was on the ball too. Not sure if Angel goes without being told, or at least w/o being alerted to Atlanta's lack of attention.

Gwreck Apr 23 2010 09:28 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

The Davis homer appeared to hit on the bridge. The only two homers I can remember being similar in distance were Adam Dunn's early last year (also hit the bridge) and Mark Reynolds' second-deck shot in left-center. Good crowd at the game tonight. Didn't do the "Jose-Jose" when prompted, but did spontaneously after the triple. Heavy booing of Larry, but also of Melky Cabrera which I was fine with. Good razzing of Larry after his first error. Good heckling of the Braves fans, both for the errors and for Heyward's 3 Ks ("I thought this guy was good?" etc.)

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 23 2010 11:12 PM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

Gratifying to hear about tonight's crowd. Was driving for a good portion of the game, and so it was Wayne-- who was lagging behind the play like a slow stagehand tonight-- and Howie for me. JUST saw the video of Ike's whambam, and Jebus he punished that one. A lovely evening for outdoorsiness, and a lovely little game to go with.

Edgy DC Apr 24 2010 06:48 AM Re: Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

I like how the ball beat him back to the dugout. Way to go, assistant trainer.
