Manuel's going for the sweep.

I think he said he was gonna start Cora today already actually. Using Feliciano again today suggests that using Pagan yesterday was a mistake doesn't it?

bmfc1 Jun 30 2010 01:10 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Yes it does--perhaps he let him play because of the location of the game.

[quote="bmfc1":2874fbpl]Yes it does--perhaps he let him play because of the location of the game.[/quote:2874fbpl] could be the reason for Cora as well.

Ceetar Jun 30 2010 01:35 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Well, maybe not. Supposedly Pagan can swing righty but not lefty. and hence sits tonight since he'd have to swing lefty. Might have been better to keep him out entirely last night then though.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 30 2010 01:43 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Someone help a bruvva out: WHY in God's name do I keep thinking Volstad is a lefty?

Edgy DC Jun 30 2010 01:49 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Because it sounds like a Commie name.

G-Fafif Jun 30 2010 01:52 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

The Volstad Act prohibited the Mets from being swept by the Marlins. The Volstead Act was something else altogether.

Courtesy Adam Rubin twitter: Jose Reyes escorted to clubhouse with trainer. Not taking batting practice with teammates.

Zvon Jun 30 2010 05:02 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Hope Reyes is okay. We can win without him. We did that once. Wanted to see more of Tejada anyway. I'm gonna keep on spinning this til I'm not disappointed in tonights line-up. Half the crowd is there cuz they are Felicianos family, and that can't be a bad thing. Odds are good Cora is a better player on foreign soil..... Somebody, Stop meh!

1 pitch, 1 out. Whew!

Zvon Jun 30 2010 09:54 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Takes K-Rod one pitch to get out of the 8th. Nice.

Please, Gary and Keith, tell me again about how late the team (and you) will be getting in to Washington, as you board your chartered flight, then your charter bus, and then arrive at your four-star hotel, while not having to worry about luggage or reservations or anything other than picking up your key and then going to bed, and then getting to sleep all day because you don't start work again until late that afternoon.

Just getting here after work and softball. Was there a rain delay or something?

Gwreck Jun 30 2010 10:04 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Hour and a half at the start.

[quote="metsguyinmichigan":2v1vf5qx]Just getting here after work and softball. Was there a rain delay or something?[/quote:2v1vf5qx] Yes - the game started an hour and 20 minutes late.

Zvon Jun 30 2010 10:10 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

That ump is in another time zone or something

Cody Fucking Ross. Hate him.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2010 10:15 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Paulino has a devastating late-inning HR to his credit against us. Thankfully I can't remember the specific game at the moment.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2010 10:17 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

Yeah. We better turn 2 right now.

What, did Frankie have you worried?

Zvon Jun 30 2010 10:33 PM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

We shud have taken 2 this series. One beats a sweep though. I hope I don't have to point back to these ridiculously stamina sucking energy eating games in a land where they can't even fill the small stands in their less than minor league caliber stadium when the big show is in town and say that's where things started to roll downhill. Yea, over the top. And a badly worded run on sentence to boot.

What an ugly mofongo-ing sentence!

If you were to think that is the worst that I could do in terms of sentence construction, then you would be mistaken in your thinking about my abilities in that arena and the depths to which I could potentially plumb there, like a Mario Brother wearing scuba gear.

But, yeah, between Pelf pitching twenty-minute half-innings (which may be tough to watch, but is torturous to listen to on a long, traffic-filled drive), the Vuvuzuela Junior Brigade, the Marlins dribblers and bleeders, the artificial turf*, and a hundred other little things... this shit left me cold. Mark it, and let's move on, boys.

*Puerto Rico, you're beautiful, as are your people, your shores, your waters, your traditions, and your bacalaitos. But your stadium sucks sweaty monkey cunt, and it gives me worse headaches when I look at it for a while than Sun Life/Joe Robbie/Don Shula Hair Club Stadium does.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2010 09:37 AM Re: IGT Wed June 30 Mets/Fish "Avoid the Sweep"

I was referring to Zvon's sentence in the post above yours. One thing I enjoyed --- as a TV viewer anyhow --- was the bygone-era rollicklingly large amount of foul territory, making drama out of the pursuit of foul balls. Foul territory has shrunk in recent decades to the point where almost every foul pop in play is caught, and almost every foul pop is out of play. Not so in San Juan. The down side was the brown turf warning track, rather than dirt, so the pursing players couldn't go into a slide.
