IGT 6/13/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Sweep

G-Fafif Jun 12 2010 09:36 PM

The last time the Mets took three in a row in the same ballpark in the same series from the Orioles was October 14, 15 & 16, 1969. This would be a good time to do it again.

Did Coach Buttermaker get halfway through filling out his lineup card and then look down the bench and ask "Who hasn't played lately?"

G-Fafif Jun 13 2010 11:27 AM Re: IGT 6/13/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Sweep

Pelf vs. Millwood is the pitching matchup.

I saw that McD commercial for the first time (twice) during last night's game, the one where the girl is drinking the iced tea and it forms a straw tan on her chin. They just showed it and I am already immensely sick of it.

Zvon Jun 13 2010 11:39 AM Re: IGT 6/13/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Sweep

New York leadoff hitter Jose Reyes has 10 hits in his last 20 at-bats, and is 6 for 14 against Millwood. And he leads off with an infield single

G-Fafif Jun 13 2010 11:41 AM Re: IGT 6/13/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Sweep

mil-HOUSE! mil-HOUSE! mil-HOUSE What I chanted from the Mezzanine at Kevin Millwood eleven years ago. (Not that it worked.)

When a 1999 Brave gives up a home run to a Met, an angel gets its wings. And Leo Mazzone bumps his head on the dugout wall.

G-Fafif Jun 13 2010 11:44 AM Re: IGT 6/13/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Sweep

This inning calls for some Old Bay Seasoning.

G-Fafif Jun 13 2010 11:44 AM Re: IGT 6/13/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Sweep

Bay does the right thing -- not hitting it to Adam Jones.

5-0 good guys as Carter adds another 3-run homer. I think he might lobby for a trade to Baltimore

5-0 cushion. Here's hoping hot weather and bandbox dimensions only work against old Braves pitchers, not young Mets.

I didn't mean they had to kick a field goal and sack the qb in the end zone in the first inning but I'll take it!

Zvon Jun 13 2010 12:18 PM Re: IGT 6/13/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Sweep

Moore rips a single to lead off the O's second. Man, I hope Pelf settles down and keeps this his game.

OHHHHH! It hits the bag! That would have been the most awsum play if we got the call! But Pelf clearly misses the bag. Man, he could have gotten hurt there. His arm was right in that pesky Moores flight path.

First three-game road series sweep of an Interleague opponent since...ever! (We took three at MFYS II, but that included a makeup weeks after the first two wins.) Only InterSweeps prior to this one were at Shea: Tigers in '04, MFYs in '04, A's in '07 plus Blue Jays all three times they came to Shea: '97, '99, '01.

My eight-year-old daughter called Jose Reyes' leadoff homer on Saturday night, and it made her very proud. She then called a followup homer by Angel Pagan, but she was pushing her luck.

Enjoyed a nice weekend along Baltimore' Inner Harbor. Used the water taxi extensively on Sunday (to/from game, to/from dinner, and liesurely evening harbor cruise). I really enjoyed Camden Yard. A very beutifaul stadium that looks much newer than it actually is. Our section was predominantly Mets fans. The first 3-4 rows were almost entirely Mets fans except for 2 grandmotherly ladies sitting in front of my wife and I. I felt a little sorry for the two of them. With the quick start the Mets had in the first inning, the ladies had little to do but commiserate about Peter Angelos' ownership and proclaim that we Mets fans were alot better company than the Yankee fans.

Drove down Saturday morning (and was shocked it was so close. 3.5 hours including stopping for bagels, gas, and coffee at Molly Pitcher) from North Jersey. I didn't take the Water Taxi, figured $10 a person was a bit much for a quick trip to Fells Point. Besides, I'll be on a NY ferry to Governor's island (and more craft beer than a normal person could drink in a year) Saturday. The only drawback to Baltimore (besides the stupid traffic home Sunday evening) was all the random Phillies fans.
