NewYorkMets : #Mets vs. Cardinals on Thursday afternoon: Reyes-SS, Pagan-LF, Beltran-CF, Davis-1B, Hessman-3B, Thole-C, Francoeur-RF, Cora-2B, Dickey-RHP

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 08:22 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

No Wright. I'm surprised. More surprised that there's no Carter. Kinda pissed, actually.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 29 2010 08:24 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

But Frenchy's hot! He hit that home run the other night! Which connotes hotness, despite the 0-8 around said home run the last two nights!

Keith reporting that he slept poorly last night. Maybe he'll take another mid-game nap.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 10:19 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Dickey survives a first-inning double by Jay and gets out of the inning. Ralph Kiner will be in the booth with Gary and Keith later on.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 29 2010 10:21 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

I never catch the Kiner sit-ins anymore. Also, this Jay... I do not like this Jay.

[quote="Benjamin Grimm":1eg1moox]Keith reporting that he slept poorly last night. Maybe he'll take another mid-game nap.[/quote:1eg1moox] You know, a person can alternate between wanting to give Keith everything one owns and wanting to punch him in the face.

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 10:25 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Amazing how Beltran didn't even reach the warning track with that rip.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 10:25 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Are they no longer playing Vanis Takee for Carlos Beltran?

Oh wait, he's got a high rise in Manhattan? Never mind.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 29 2010 10:38 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Mike Hessman, speed merchant! Add his infield dribbler to a four-pitch walk to Thole, and we've got a stew goin'.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 29 2010 10:45 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Or, y'know, cream of nuttin'. I have a feeling this bottom of the order will kill a rally or five today.

DocTee Jul 29 2010 10:53 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Ralph hates bunting, too

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 29 2010 10:54 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Yes, but bunt hits, too? Stew's back on! First and third, nobody out.

bmfc1 Jul 29 2010 10:54 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Good thing that Pagan beat it out or Ralph might have exploded.

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 10:57 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Ralph's the only one in the booth on his game today.

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 10:59 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Ikey Milikey! That is some unspeakable power, ain't it? I mean nothing is carrying to left center today.

Following a Dickey start on GameDay-- with the PitchFX-- is hilarious.

Zvon Jul 29 2010 11:27 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Pagan with the Triboom. That's the way to use Citi. Beltran drives him in :)

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 29 2010 11:38 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Oh, do fuck off, Criminal Justice. Eyespeople: correct call at home?

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 11:39 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Six scoreless for Dickey! There's some prestigious Schaefer honors in the balance here, and he's stepping up.

DocTee Jul 29 2010 11:39 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

correct call at home? Absolutely

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 11:43 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Yes, no doubt about it. Beltran went around the plate, never touched it, and was clearly tagged out.

Billy Joel's Last Play at Shea is the biggest outdoor movie premiere since 1919?

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 11:54 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Dickey: 7 scoreless innings, 83 pitches. 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 29 2010 11:59 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

They have to send R.A. back out for the eighth, right? Unless Jerry decides he must follow the script and use the Official Eighth Inning Guy before handing the game over the KRod.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 11:59 AM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Angel Pagan, Gary points out, is the Citi Field all-time home run king, with 10. He also leads in triples with 11. David Wright and Angel Pagan pretty much lead in all offensive categories.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 12:07 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

One out in the top of the eighth. Make that two. Parnell throwing in the pen.

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 12:10 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

That grounder to second was still knuckling when it reached Cora. Three outs.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 12:12 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Keith: "Josh has done a nice job handling Dickey." I'm sure there was much snickering among the viewing audience.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 12:14 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Parnell apparently no longer throwing. Gary says no action in the Mets pen.

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 12:15 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

The eighth inning is the Drill Hessman inning for the Cards.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 29 2010 12:17 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Hessman's going for the record for HBPs in a limited appearance!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 29 2010 12:18 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Hessman's just a man of great gravity. The balls can't help but hit him. 5-pitch walk to Thole. Now THERE's the McDougal I know.

Frayed Knot Jul 29 2010 12:19 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

I want at least a couple more runs here just so there's not even the temptation for Jerry to take R.A. out.

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 12:21 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Dickey can deliver those runs.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 29 2010 12:22 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Everybody takes a walk but Frenchy. Didn't see that coming...

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 12:24 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

McDougal looks like the Cardinals found him living in the woods.

Edgy DC Jul 29 2010 12:25 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

Jerry, I'm going to say this once. Don't pull my Dickey.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 29 2010 12:34 PM Re: IGT 7/29/10 Mets vs. Cardinals - Just Win the Series

That's it; Jerry's turning it over to Frankie, with one out and two on.

How great is RA? Too bad Michael Kay is off today because he's constantly claiming that Dickey can't keep this up. He said that 2 months ago and he's [u:2s26wcnl]still [/u:2s26wcnl]wrong. Meanwhile, if Pelfrey got back on track, the Mets would have 4 solid starters.

[quote="metsguyinmichigan"]We were so close to sweeping this one, but I'll take the series win!

If we can get back in this and make a charge for the finish line this series will be where I point to when I look for the shift in momentum.

Especially last nights game.
Even though it was a loss, we came back and gave a first place team a run for it's money.

That's a real confidence builder for the offensive side of our game.

Do your thang Jose...
