IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

G-Fafif Aug 26 2010 10:31 AM

CPF Nite @ Citi Field coincides with the Marlins' last game in our immediate midst. It's a fact: This will be the first September since 2000 when we don't host Florida...and the first time in the era of the unbalanced schedule. This treat comes two and three years too late, respectively. Niese goes tonight even though it's Pelfrey's turn. I assume Jerry is keeping the Big guy out of harm's way.

Will Ramirez have the orange hair tonight again, apparently an attempt to rile the Mets and us fans.

G-Fafif Aug 26 2010 10:43 AM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

They got rid of Cantu. They got rid of Ross. Coghlan cleverly got rid of himself by tearing up his knee while delivering a walkoff pie to the face of Wes Helms. To paraphrase Jon Lovitz as Michael Dukakis on "SNL" in 1988 re: Dana Carvey as George Bush, I can't believe we're behind these guys.

I've never before been so happy to see the name Castillo in a lineup.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 05:16 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Nice open by Niese. 2ks, flyout and a walk. I'd pitch around Morrison too.

Eat it Helms. Nice glove

gah! why was jose pulled?

Zvon Aug 26 2010 05:48 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

[quote="metsmarathon":z3e7u0m2]gah! why was jose pulled?[/quote:z3e7u0m2] Nothing confirmed yet. They think he tweaked something. He did not look hurt or in pain, but the trainer came out to first after his base hit and they walked off together. I could see Reyes and Manuel talking as Jose sat on the bench but the chat gave no indication where he was hurtin.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:03 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Frenchy 2 for 2 with a ribby. I predict in the future Francoeur will close the season as hot as he began it. Regardless of how many of us feel about Jeff, you gotta be rooting for this.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:04 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Another totally blown call. Damn.

bmfc1 Aug 26 2010 06:08 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Friggin' umps have one job do it and they can't do it right. Good thing they get 4 weeks vacation so they can rest after working so hard.

DocTee Aug 26 2010 06:15 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

I predict in the future Francoeur will close the season as hot as he began it. Regardless of how many of us feel about Jeff, you gotta be rooting for this. I root against anything that might incline the Mets to bring Frenchy back next year.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:26 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Mets SS Jose Reyes left Thursday's game against the Marlins after aggravating his oblique strain. He reached base on a single in the second inning, and was replaced by a pinch runner. The team issued a statement saying he would "hold off from baseball activities until he is pain free."

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:31 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Sitdown Maybin! You suck.

attgig Aug 26 2010 06:37 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

good little tidbit on chip hale. perhaps him sending the runners couple nights ago with stanton throwing was because of good scouting by hale. boo on frenchy going 3rd.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:41 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

[quote="attgig":c1w4thrv]good little tidbit on chip hale. perhaps him sending the runners couple nights ago with stanton throwing was because of good scouting by hale. boo on frenchy going 3rd.[/quote:c1w4thrv] There was a great pregame bit too, if you saw. Morrison had to be perfect there. And he was. Dagnabbitt.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:42 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Ouch, that hit Morrison around 3 times.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:46 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Anyone see the way Ramirez stared down Thole for trying to take him out on the DP earlier? What a doosh. Gah, he singles. I really hat Hanley.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:54 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

WHOA! WOW, what a grab by Frenchy. Oh man, they tie it but that could have been curtains.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 06:56 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

And wtf happened there? That had some good air time. Why wasn't Francoeur under that?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 26 2010 07:02 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

You knew that Castillo's shallow fly with the bases jammed and Francoeur's idiotic attempt to take third with 0 outs would kill us, I just didn't know how badly.

Zvon Aug 26 2010 07:03 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

UGH! The pain. Who the hell are they booin at there? Wrights glove? Silly spectators. Well this went down the toilet rather quickly. 9-4 FarginFish

That would have been the time to drill Hanley between the shoulderblades. Orange hair indeed.

Glad I didn't invest much time in this mess. Zvon posted a Reyes aggravated Oblique piece earlier tonight. Did you cut and paste that from 3 months ago?

Two on no out in the 9th. I expect us to hit into a triple play.

Gonna be quite a few $1 Citifield tickets on stubhub from here on. Jerry should take this postgame chat and with that grin tell the world that the Wilpons take it up the ass..

batmagadanleadoff Aug 26 2010 09:45 PM Re: IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

Life flows on within Ollie, but mostly without him. He's just above actress Diana Dors (far right, near bottom) -- in the space originally reserved for Gandhi. At the record label's request, Gandhi's image was removed from the final version of the album cover out of concern that the inclusion of India's political and spiritual leader would offend many. Too bad that Ollie, in the spirit of teamwork and compromise, couldn't exercise the same sensibilities and remove himself from the 25 man roster.

Stopping back at my office after completing the Flushing - Manhattan phase of the trip home to Jersey. Good food. Good beer. Great people. Crappy game.

Dead IGT tonight. Did everybody go to the game or something?

No, it might have something to do with the Mets increasing suckitude.

Crappy game.[/quote:1ugfv8bl] Echoed. From the pregame booze-n'-shmooze to the in-game repartee (including a ninth-inning "OL-LIE" chant), the LWs enjoyed everything about the game-- including the choice seats!-- but the game itself. Never let it be said that this crowd doesn't know how its way around timekilling black humor.
