Whats Ceetar doing behind the statue there? Something nasty, I'd imagine.

Zvon Jul 02 2010 05:11 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Well, this years hats certainly beat the red ones. The Mets and red DO NOT MIX. I own the all blue one from a few years ago and I wear it as I type. Not always when I type..........just when I type this weekend. Okay, I'll shut up now.

Zvon Jul 02 2010 05:13 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

I heart Guzman. Boots the DP grounder and it 1-0 good guys.

Zvon Jul 02 2010 05:25 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

wow. they are saying he didnt but I think David did push that foot off the bag. What a kool play. Morgan tried to steal 2nd. Wright stole an out.

Ceetar Jul 02 2010 05:45 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Agreed, stars and stripes isn't really my thing, but wouldn't it make sense to keep the design of the current hats? bah.. loved the play by Wright. wonder if it gets him plunked..hey, if we get some retaliation stuff going, maybe we can get Strasburg ejected.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 02 2010 05:57 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

I don't mind the caps as a special thing. Some of the minor league teams -- including my local West Michigan Whitecaps -- are wearing them this year, too.

Zvon Jul 02 2010 06:02 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

WOOT. Wrights battin a thousand so far tonight. Man he is spaaaaaa-Anking dat ball. Could be our next Met single season king of doubles. Oh yes, I went there.

Zvon Jul 02 2010 06:08 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

If we dont plate a run this inning (bases loaded, no out, now 1 out) Ill eat that 1990s white Met cap.

Zvon Jul 02 2010 06:11 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Frenchy cant hit it any harder than that. Gadzoots!

I take back some of the bad things I said about Alex Cora. BASED LOADED TRI-BOOM!

Zvon Jul 02 2010 06:14 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Cora clears it with a triboomer™. I knew he had that in him. I knew it. Niese doubles in Cora! blaggabloom!

NIESE!!!!! A double for the Hawkman plates another!

metsguyinmichigan Jul 02 2010 06:15 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Somewhere in the dugout, Johan is cheering on the outside and weeping on the inside. He'd have taken even two of these runs last night.

[quote="metsguyinmichigan":bu0odp0u]NIESE!!!!! A double for the Hawkman plates another![/quote:bu0odp0u] He couldn't have flown that ball out to the wall in his beak any better than he hit that.

I wonder if bmfc is sitting on third base field level, saw someone a couple of times that kinda looked like him.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 02 2010 06:32 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Wright drills another!

metsguyinmichigan Jul 02 2010 06:33 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Ike must have given it quite a ride to allow D-Wright to tag up to second.

[quote="metsguyinmichigan":1botcz1o]Ike must have given it quite a ride to allow D-Wright to tag up to second.[/quote:1botcz1o] It wasn't as deep as you would think. That was all heads up Davey. OOO, Paralta stays in the game to bunt...or hit..or, I dont know what he's doin up there.

Zvon Jul 02 2010 06:41 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Tejada coverin some ground on the hi-chopper up the middle. Nice play there. 2 out and a Nat buzzin around 3rd

Niese now with 11 consecutive scoreless innings. Watch out Hershieser!

Lil' Met Guy is the essence of coolness, yes. Ha, what a catch by Frenchy. That's how I'd play right field at my age.

That don't really work for nothin if you never saw F-Troop. If you have, you say that like the chief said : "IT IS BALLOON!"

I guess what Jerrys tryin to do here is get this game into a save situation for K-Rod. He's such a considerate manager :)

Zvon Jul 02 2010 07:55 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Course K-Rod is greeted with a line single. 5-2. Tying run comes to the plate.

Single up the middle. 5-3

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 02 2010 08:02 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

Crazy thing is Jerry will blame this on the lack of an 8th inning shutdown guy, never acknowledging he doesn't have a real 9th inning stopper either. Geezus.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 02 2010 08:05 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

And K-Rod gets the damn save. Yay. (After giving up hits to the only two batters he faced).

What I really hate is the lack of imagination and waste of money and energy that goes into the whole idea of a Brand Name Closer. At least the Braves will be let down by Wagner less expensively than he dicked the Mets.

Tejada scores big-time points in my book for having the presence of mind to block the base. Utterly inexcusable baserunning, though. Sure you want to get a good jump, but not at the risk of letting a struggling pitcher get out of the inning without throwing home. It's funny, by the numbers K-Rod is having exactly the kind of season he put up regularly in Anaheim, and yet nothing ever seems easy with him.

I have no problem with the "brand name" closer generally; my gripe (since 2008) has been the totally dipshit management of the 'pen by Jerry.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 02 2010 08:16 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

The Angels won 97 games without Rodriguez last year. He could leave the Mets tomorrow and with a little bit of effort and creativity we'd never miss him either.

smg58 Jul 02 2010 08:18 PM Re: IGT 7/2/10 NYM @ WAS: National Holiday

On edit: screw the good jump, I forgot that wasn't even the tying run. Just embarrassing.

[quote="smg58":3h1i8xup]It's funny, by the numbers K-Rod is having exactly the kind of season he put up regularly in Anaheim, and yet nothing ever seems easy with him.[/quote:3h1i8xup] And he blew games (7 in his record year) and walked batters out there too. It's just that; 1) you tend not to notice those things if it's not YOUR closer and 2) It just seems that the small-ball playing Angels played a ton of close games so the volume of chances he got spread out the bad games and I suspect he rarely pitched non-save games out there.
