IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

If they're going to lose, let's hope they have the courtesy to do it quickly.

Metsies. Bubelehs. We love you. You know this, yes? We do. But you have to STOP this crazy swinging at everything, and this bunting mishegas! STOP IT! We are staying up late every day and every night, tryyyying to be happy for you, and waiiiiting for the naches you should be giving us, after all the time in the stadium we've spent worrying about you... but nothing. Absolutely nothing, you give us. Even less, you give to your Dickey, you works his finger to the knuckle. And for what? For everyone he knows to call him a loser, a piece of dirt from your pipek! AND ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! And then-- AND THEN-- your loving GWreck, who would give house and home for you, him who follows you up and down the entire coast of Califooooooornia like a dog, him you grace with this effort, if you can even call it that with a straight face. You're killing his heart! YOU ARE KILLING YOUR DICKEY AND YOUR GWRECK! So have some pride in yourself, already, and do something before you come home! And remember, that phone that your crazy Uncle Steven from Bayside uses to call into the 'FAN rings both ways, dear.

What a fine situaton the Mets have gotten themselves into.

By all means sit the #8 hitter in BA in the NL. Jerry said yesterday that he wanted to give Wright a day off today or Tuesday (so he'd have two straight days off). If he sticks with that, it'll be Tuesday but who plays 3d? Cora? Maybe they'll make a move (Barajas to the DL?) and call up Hessman.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 25 2010 11:56 AM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

[quote="bmfc1":1gspis7w]By all means sit the #8 hitter in BA in the NL.[/quote:1gspis7w] It's hard to believe, but Francoeur is a better hitter against lefties than Pagan. Across the board. Frenchy even has more walks (in less at bats, no less) against lefties than Pagan.

bmfc1 Jul 25 2010 12:15 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Hard to believe, yes, but thanks for the info. Maybe it'll showcase him for KC.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 25 2010 01:04 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

It's not so much that Frenchy's terrific against lefties, but that Pagan sorta sucks against southpaws. Pagan's splits are Backmanesque: He's a minor all-star batting lefty and ineffective batting right-handed.

bmfc1 Jul 25 2010 01:20 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Rubin says that Turner might be back on Tuesday to play 3B. Nothing against Turner but how about giving Hessman a shot?

So, they've almost hit, like, two home runs. That's ALMOST offense.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2010 02:35 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

It's a shame-- I used to really kinda like Burkhardt. But the more I "hear" out of him... @KBurkhardtSNY: Carlos Beltran’s return has really given the Mets a spark, huh? #horribletrip =#008000]About 17 minutes ago

[quote="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr":rct7qokt]So, they've almost hit, like, two home runs. That's ALMOST offense.[/quote:rct7qokt] Flashback. I remember hearing Murph announce that Cliff Cook "almost hit a home run" at Forbes Field. The ball hooked foul at the last second. I heard a lot of Mets "almosts" ever since. Later

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2010 02:41 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Kershaw seems like he'd be really, really scary to face as a lefty batter.

Rockin' Doc Jul 25 2010 02:59 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

I think all pitchers have become scary to the Mets line up.

Zvon Jul 25 2010 03:20 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Classic open to the IGT LWFS. You get a belt buckle for hittin the board.

Zvon Jul 25 2010 03:25 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Reports say (and warnings said) a tornado touched down in my area today. I've lived down here a long time and I don't recall one ever actually touching down this close. Kool and scary stuff. I've never seen a funnel cloud with my naked eyes. Aw Reyes! You get on to start the inning and get picked off. Great.

Zvon Jul 25 2010 03:27 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

And Castillo follows with a double! Jeeze Loueeze!

Zvon Jul 25 2010 03:31 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

OH WOW! Beltran ROBBED by Blake! What a catch. hat the bastage! Denied a run, or at least a close possibly miscalled play at the plate(the way things have been going).

Got one here today 3pm. Not as bad as the one I saw on I-95 in Missouri.

I know it's en vogue to blame Jerry and bunting, but the booth reminds us that Mets are batting like .133 in the last 16 games if I heard correctly. Too tired and lazy to verify.

Worst of it was south of here where my brothers live. All's okay tho.
Didn't get to see my funnel cloud but that's one of those things that would be neat to see but I can do without.
Like an earthquake or the apocalypse.

Dicky is reportedly and visually okay.
He will continue.

Nymr83 Jul 25 2010 03:39 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

jerry pulls Dickey, who was adamant about staying in the game, you could lip-read "bullshit" from him

Ashie62 Jul 25 2010 03:40 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

No Dickey will not stay in. He was pitching too well for Jerry. Dickey fought hard. Fuck the Mets.

Zvon Jul 25 2010 03:40 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

very interesting scene here. Jerry comes back out, to remove R.A. Dicky vehemently argues to stay in. With anyone within ear shot, it looks. But Jerry takes the hook stick out of his back pocket and Dickey is off to the showers.

Ashie62 Jul 25 2010 03:41 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Somebody should pull Jerry.

Nymr83 Jul 25 2010 03:43 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

I think Dickey tried to get the umpire to tell Jerry the talk was over and send him back to the dugout! fire jerry.

Kong76 Jul 25 2010 03:45 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Not predicting it, but really who would be surprised if Jerry gets axed in Cali before they get on the plane.

Going into today's game, the Mets were hitting .194 with an OBP of .211 since the All Star break.* They are probably lucky to have won the two games they did with such a putrid offense.

*Assuming my math was correct last night.

Edgy DC Jul 25 2010 03:49 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

It's the lack of walks that kills me. Don't ask me to 'splain it, but I think Jason Bay would hit better with a new manager. Delgado did.

Zvon Jul 25 2010 03:51 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Nice Thole. I'm always loving your scrappy at-bats but you swing at the first pitch here and hit into an inning ending DP. I really like what I see from Thole though, more than not. I like what I see behind the plate as well as his at-bats. But, for the moment, shame on you son!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2010 03:58 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

I have no problem with the Dickey removal. He limped on the play to first; this makes sense as a precaution. (I should say, I have no problem with it until the eventual throwing of Dickey under the bus, postgame.) IN current news: We have a double-switch, and this double-switch... I like this double-switch.

Kong76 Jul 25 2010 04:00 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Wright answers Blake in the field.

I'm OK with Dickey's removal, too. Maybe Dickey argued vehemently to stay in because he already sensed his game was over. Dickey's become a valuable commodity and it's worth exercising a little bit of caution to protect his health at the expense of what was likely to be, no more than another extra inning and half of pitching from Dickey.

Zvon Jul 25 2010 04:10 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Totally agree about da Dick. He was a lil wobbly on the ground ball following the first visit, and we sure as hell can't afford him going down for any length of time.

Zvon Jul 25 2010 04:15 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

You guys know me. I never say uncle. I don't give up. I try and stay positive and root for positive things to happen. But I've already written this game off. And that's pretty sad... Aw hell, I'll still root.. LETS

Zvon Jul 25 2010 04:24 PM Re: IGT 7-25 Dodgers vs. Suckass Team That Can't Score Any Runs

Oy, Beltran doesn't play the ball off the wall and just like that it's 0-1. Carp on a carpsicle.
