We need to take this series and reduce our Fourth Place magic number, which currently stands at 16.

That's about as close to an alpha-lineup as we have. Maybe Arias over Tejada, except Tejada has actually been hitting this week. Jerry finally is giving Zippity Duda a view from the bench.

This is the last weekday-gay-dame-business-person's special of 2010 IIRC.

Ashie62 Sep 08 2010 10:39 AM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Duda's AB's for the rest of the year may be zippity-Duda He cannot hit a curveball to save his life. And just because.. LETS!

Ridiculously Awesome follow's Gee's lead and picks up a hit of his own before giving up one. How did Buffalo not go undefeated early this season?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 11:23 AM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Backup catcher legged out a double? Really?

ONE MO' TIIIIIME!

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 11:41 AM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Dickey gets another safety --- outhitting the Nationals 2-1 now. OE: But Recklessly Aggressive makes the last out going for third.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 08 2010 11:46 AM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

oops tie game

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 11:49 AM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Thrown out on the basepaths and come out shakey. I see it every day in my line of work. Figuratively. Anyhow, Wilson Ramos? Danny Espinosa? It's like we're being beaten by fictional ballplayers here.

bmfc1 Sep 08 2010 11:56 AM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Do the Mets lead the league being called out on strikes?

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:03 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

They've exceeded Potsie Weber's strikeout total from 1977, I can tell you that.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 12:05 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Sit on it, Thole. Then maybe it won't squirt away like that.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:08 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

I'd like to thank Jerry for somehow convincing Ian Desmond to waste his first two strikes bunting there. One out. Who do you go after? Zimmerman or Dunn?

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:10 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Zimmerman hit. Now they have to face Dunn. Tempting to go for the LOOGy here.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 12:13 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Dunn reaches. Now it's New Willie Harris with the bases loaded. One out or no, you don't send Nyjer F-ing Morgan on a single to the outfield?

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:15 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Nope, Morse is up, after looking back at the dugout to see if they were pinch-hitting Harris. Dibble would love that. Three outs!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 12:16 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

I'm not being snarky when I say this: I am surprised that Morse did not hit a slam there.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:22 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

I'm not being snarky when I say this, but Dickey is outhitting Duda by 150 points.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 12:25 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

What's a good mantra to repeat to oneself during moves like these, so as to keep the blood inside one's head and at a healthy pressure?

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:26 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Sean Burnett is 0-7. There's your mantra. DOUBLE!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 12:28 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Burnett... YA BEEN NICKED! Now... Ollie Time!

bmfc1 Sep 08 2010 12:30 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

There was a guy at last night's game with an official "Evans 6" home, pinstriped jersey (with the inaugural patch). 2d Spitter and I wondered why anybody would have such a jersey unless your last name is Evans and/or your related to Nick Evans.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:33 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Three innings to go. Who does Jerry go to first? I'm not being snarky when I say this, but I'm kind of bracing for six more pitchers.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:50 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Howie Rose: "The only game going on this afternoon is the Orioles-Yanks at Yankee Stadium." Besides this one, Howie?

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:53 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Nice grab by Wright. Kind of surprised that Feliciano or somebody didn't face Morgan.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 12:59 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Say what you want about Castillo, but neither Hernandez nor Tejada has turned the DP as well as he has this season.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 01:05 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

I'm not being snarky when I say this: Adam Dunn both scares me and makes me hungry for ham.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 01:08 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

I'm calling bullshit. That's snarky.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 01:09 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Guilty!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 08 2010 01:13 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Bernardina, Morse, Espinosa, with Ramos in the hole behind the hole. I fear the unknowns.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 08 2010 01:16 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

I assume it'll be Takahashi here for the save or the loss. Tie game after 9 would be a different story.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 01:18 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Oops. I pooped. I shouldn't care enough to poop. Hey, Howie Rose, it's September. You should know how much English Tak speaks by now.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 01:19 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Bam! Won a deciding game on the road. Baby steps.

bmfc1 Sep 08 2010 01:19 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Put it in the books! They win the rubber game of a road series first time all season.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 08 2010 01:24 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

And there was much rejoicing. Someone start a thread illustrating how little we've missed FU Rodriguez.

Centerfield Sep 08 2010 01:25 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

For the first time this season, the Mets have won the rubber game of an away series. It also marks the first time this year that the Mets have done this on the road.

Edgy DC Sep 08 2010 01:26 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

What a fine finish to a sorry 5770. Or a fine start to 5771. I'm not sure.

I have a number of fun game-used Mets jerseys -- mostly BP jerseys, which is about the limit of which I can afford. My Barry Lyons pull-over from the early 90s is classic!

[quote="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr"]Dunn reaches. Now it's New Willie Harris with the bases loaded. One out or no, you don't send Nyjer F-ing Morgan on a single to the outfield?

Problem was that with the Dunn shift on (even the modified one used when men are on base) Nyjer froze briefly thinking that the liner tin front of the RFer might also be right at the 2Bman. Shouldn't have, but he did. Morgan, for all his speed, isn't a very good base-runner; I've seen it a lot this summer.



Evans couldn't possibly have looked worse on every pitch during his AB - including the one he got the hit on. Nothing but 92 mph fastballs and he was getting beat on every one of them. The hit was the only one he managed to get on the far side of the 1st base dugout and most 1Bmen not named Dunn scoop that one up without a sweat.
Some players have their first season be their best. I'm starting to think that Evans might wind up his career with his first game as his best.

Fman99 Sep 08 2010 08:20 PM Re: IGT 9/8/10 NYM @ WAS: It's Rubber, Let's Be Glue

Who plays a weekday matinee on a Wednesday? Turned the game on and was confused by all of the sunshine. Though I'll admit to enjoying the encore broadcast on SNY without the three hours of staring at their dumb ticker along the bottom of the screen. They should shelve that shit for 28 minutes out of 30 instead of running it non-stop for 3 hours at a pop. Oh yeah, LGM, YGB, YYYBBB.
