Mets face Houston and try not to embarrass themselves.

metirish Aug 27 2010 02:35 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Pagan. Castillo. Beltran. Wright. Davis. Francoeur. Blanco. Tejada. Pelfrey. DPLennon #Mets need infielder, call up Luis Hernandez from Buffalo. Jesus Feliciano optioned.

Rolling off the wires, Beltran waives no trade clause and Mets are willing to eat 9 million this year and next. Anybody else hear this??

Zvon Aug 27 2010 05:21 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

lets strand Bourn at 3rd, please

You walk in a run and I will be pissed Pelf. K!YAY!

Zvon Aug 27 2010 05:38 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Castillo gets Wright an RBI. Nice.

Zvon Aug 27 2010 06:17 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

just when you think youve seen it all in this game

Ashie62 Aug 27 2010 06:25 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

I'm sure Buckethead agrees.

Zvon Aug 27 2010 07:03 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

2 hits after 6. oy Buckethead agrees

Nice work by Ike on that DP! He should get some Schaefer for that.

Zvon Aug 27 2010 07:43 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

I agree Jerr. U gave Parnell a chance and he was failing. get him outta there. But sheesh, Parnell wants to be a closer, I'd like to see him become the closer,...he gets a chance and bang-zoom, 1st and 3rd.

Funny how non-closers closing are eligible to get pulled when struggling but not designated closers.

Zvon Aug 27 2010 07:47 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Don't walk him Tak. Go after this guy. WOW. a call 4 us!

Fman99 Aug 27 2010 07:49 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

That's two.

METS WIN!

You've been Takahad!

Zvon Aug 27 2010 07:53 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

We gotta be the best fans the Mets have anywhere. Still biting our nails when we are 9/10 games out, lol.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2010 07:53 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Lots of beer for pitchers and defense and not so much for the hitters ... but we'll take it. And we just .500'd ourselves again.

themetfairy Aug 27 2010 07:55 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

I was so sure this was going to end badly. I'm thrilled that it didn't :)

[quote="Frayed Knot":31esj6mx]Funny how non-closers closing are eligible to get pulled when struggling but not designated closers.[/quote:31esj6mx] I was thinking this as Manuel pulled Parnell, as were all here I'm sure. Having no problem with pulling Parnell makes not pulling the big ticket closer all the more stupid in it's thinking.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2010 08:28 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Thing is, a closer with more of a track record - like KRod or a lot of others - certainly deserves a longer leash than does a relative newbie like Parnell. My only objection is that closers almost NEVER get pulled even when it's obvious they don't have it that night. When I did that little closer "study" I went through the box scores of more than 400 ML games (basically a month's worth) and saw maybe two closers that got yanked in the middle of an inning. There were a whole lot more cases where the manager went down with the ship.

The Second Spitter Aug 27 2010 08:58 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Had a great evening with a banged-up Gwreck, TransMonk and TransMonkette (and G-Fafif earlier on)...and them winning was a refreshing change.

Gwreck Aug 27 2010 09:50 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Nice to see some people from the CPF at the game tonight. Also nice to see that the plate umpire had dinner reservations tonight.

G-Fafif Aug 27 2010 10:28 PM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Spitter and the Monks made for a delightful pregame conclave with Mrs. Fafif and me. We're huge South Sydney Rabbitohs fans suddenly, and aren't too crazy about Brett Favre (not that we were). Geography really contracts when you've got a board like this.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 28 2010 12:29 AM Re: IGT 8/27 - Astros at Mets

Mets pick up a game on Colorado and SanFran, and reduce their "Net Games Behind" by two -- from 28 to 26: Oh, what might've been if they'd only platooned Frenchy, Pagan and Beltran. And pulled Ollie from the rotation a few weeks earlier. And figured out that Mike Pelfrey was tipping his pitches after one outing instead of six. And signed Matt Holliday instead of Jason Bay. And kept Heath Bell. And built a scoreboard that wasn't so goddamn ugly and embarrassing. And I'm not even talking about that monstrosity out in right field that looks like about a dozen gigantic post it stickers flapping in the breeze. You know which ugly scoreboard I'm talking about. The other ugly scoreboard that's right next to the right field eyesore. And did you ever see two ugly scoreboards so close to each other? And while we're at it, what's the point of the Shake Shack if you hafta spend three innings on line waiting to order your food unless you get there before the game starts? Who the hell goes to a baseball game to spend three innings on a hamburger line? What's so great about that?
