IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

G-Fafif Jul 10 2010 05:23 PM

The Mets have won their last twelve home games that I've attended. I'm going Sunday. I'm not guaranteeing anything except I'll watch Johan intently.

The Mets tend to lose when I attend games so I hope your mojo outweighs my mojo.

Nationally televised game today via TBS

Bayless today, as well? Makes sense. Sticking dancing-bear Carter in for him, with flyball-inducing Johan going today? Not so much.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 11 2010 09:22 AM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Ronnie points out that Bay sits on his own bobblehead day. That just don't seem right. Methinks Jerry would like him to take an extended vacation. Hell, he needs it. He better start doin the power thing second half.

Excellent catch by Pagan ends the first. Even as he reached out I thought no way does he snag that. He snags that. Whats up with the dreaded black unis? Have we not learned anything? (I'd like to see those numbers. Whats the Mets record while wearing black tops? I wouldn't be surprised if someone here has already tackled this subject)

Pagan with a two out triboom. And CORA comes through with the rbi single!

Ron: "Well, you knew this would be a good matchup for Francouer. Lowe throws that sinker and Francouer is a low-ball hitter." Ralph: "Yeah, but Lowe also throws a lot of sliders and those give Francouer trouble." Take that, Ron.

Edgy DC Jul 11 2010 12:27 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Francouer probably should have broken back on that shot.

Zvon Jul 11 2010 12:29 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Nah, we do have to force them to make the plays the way we haven't been scorin runs. Hard hit down the line. Takes a back hand stab to glove it. Only a perfect play by Chipper gets Frenchy at the plate. And he makes a great throw over Jeff's shoulder. Tip of the cap to Mr. Jones.

Edgy DC Jul 11 2010 12:29 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

I thought Barajas got his foot in there anyhow.

Edgy DC Jul 11 2010 12:31 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Now Ralph takes Cohen to school, reminding Gary that Terrell hit homers in back-to-back games. Gary is actually denying it, but any moment now the statistician is going to tell him Ralph is right. Amazin'.

Zvon Jul 11 2010 12:33 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

And Gary says : "That was in the same game. Thats different.." lol And it kinda is. And I think that was Ralph who laughed.

Edgy DC Jul 11 2010 12:35 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

No, I think Ralph was right. Terrell hit two in one game, but then hit a third in his next start.

Don't pitch Diaz inside. He had no business turning that pitch around.

Tejada breaking a 1-23 slump there.

Zvon Jul 11 2010 01:11 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Last game Tejada looked like an 11 year old boy. Today, an 11 year old girl. Albeit, a girl who can hit. Was he in an X-Files ep? Is he like a reverse aging gender changing alien? OE: I mean all this in a good way

Zvon Jul 11 2010 01:17 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Cox does not look like a manager who has won the first two games of this series. From the looks of him, I'd think his team just lost 10 in a row. Man is he gonna be a grouch sittin around the house after he retires, or what?!

Zvon Jul 11 2010 01:19 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

TEJADA! Dives like he's 10 and a half! Nice play!

Edgy DC Jul 11 2010 01:20 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

I like that swagger I see in Pagan these days. Even after he strikes out. I see boo koo confidence.

Edgy DC Jul 11 2010 01:28 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Santana's getting a hug from his catcher. Looks like he's done.

TheOldMole Jul 11 2010 01:30 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

That's what they're saying -- and I agree with everyone in the booth who thinks it's dumb.

Edgy DC Jul 11 2010 01:33 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

It's really frustrating for me. They let him bat with two men on last inning --- but only to get one more inning out of him? All-Star break coming around the corner, and with it a day or two of rest. Very difficult to stomache.

TheOldMole Jul 11 2010 01:34 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Who would you rather have on the mound in an important spot -- Bobby Parnell or Johan Santana?

TheOldMole Jul 11 2010 01:36 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Go Bobby!

Darling on Davis: gets backspin that puts the ball out of sight. I call that "pop". When he hits it right, he has awsum pop. _______________ Yikes, typed this last out of the Mets half , hit send, then stepped outside. Beautiful day. Beautiful. I'm writin a song about it.

All that stuff about Santana stayin in... agreed #1's. Esp with the break coming up. This makes it a no brainer. Wonder if Johan was asked or told.

Great way to go into the break. I'm happy for all the CPF'ers in the crowd. And us too! Frankie must have read G-Fafif's latest column as he records a Ideal Save.

Zvon Jul 11 2010 02:05 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

See, we CAN win w/o Reyes. And if he sat these last 3 and we still went 1 of 3 (which I think we would have done, no one else was hittin when it was needed) I'd feel better goin into the break. More in regards to his health though. Cuz right now I'd be thinkin, kool, Reyes was out resting that injury and we didn't get swept. Can Omar tell him to stay at home and rest and not even travel? lol

seawolf17 Jul 11 2010 06:52 PM Re: IGT 7/11/10 ATL @ NYM: Salvage Job

Met up with Willets at the apple before the game, watched a little Braves BP from our excellent seats in left field. Sun was a little much; took until the eighth for the shade to reach us. At that point, though, the weather was glorious; I was ready for twelve more innings once it got cool. Thanks to Willets for the tix and for hooking me up with an extra layer of sunscreen. Technically 1-1 on the year now, with five drizzle-soaked innings of a Nationals loss in May sullying my record. Actually, the last Mets W I have in my scorebook is the 1986 reunion game from August 2006. (I must have used a different scorebook, though, because I can't imagine going two full years without going to a game. I know MiniWolf was just born, but I'm sure I must have hit a game or two somewhere between August 2006 and the ten-inning Cubs loss in the last week at Shea.) Either way, a nice win, nice company, nice seats, etc. Headed back courtesy of the DiamondKnights in two weeks, then meeting my college roommate in August. Knew a bunch of other folks at the park as per tweets and FB posts, but never wound up catching up with anyone else, including Greg. Smaller than Shea, yes, but it's still a pretty big place.

The company was great, the seats were great (nice view of Ike's homer to the apple), the sun was HOT, and the game was very satisfying. It was good to see the Mets in person and spend a day in the City. I was amused by a boy in Jeter shirt sitting all alone as if no one would sit near him. My 2010 winning percentage is now 1.000 and will probably stay there for this season.
