IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Willets Point Sep 13 2010 12:34 PM

Apparently indifference is at a high if I'm the first one who thinks of starting an IGT. Lineup: Reyes-SS Pagan-RF Beltran-CF Wright-3B Davis-1B Thole-C Duda-LF Hernandez-LF Gee-RHP This will be the start of a 19-game season-ending winning streak.

I'll accept an 89 win season , should be good f or the WC at least.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2010 12:43 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

What's the deal with all this Hernandez stuff. Does this guy have any chance here?

Edgy DC Sep 13 2010 12:50 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Howie or Waynie was telling me that the Mets failed to take Wilson Valdez seriously as a candidate to bring back after his fill-in work for them last season. And now he's become an "important part" of the Phillies. And the Mets might do well to take Hernandez's candidacy more seriously. Take that as you will. On one hand, a few key plays/hits against the Mets notwithstanding, Valdez hasn't done as well as all that. On the other hand, Hernandez has shown some good work on defense this week. Now ask me about Duda.

Duda! Whatever happened to Jason Bay? The dingo atecha Bay-bee.

Valdez may not be doing _that_ greatly, but I do recall him having a few decent games while Utley was out.

So Edgy, how about that Lucas Duda?

Edgy DC Sep 13 2010 12:57 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

RE: Duda. I like double switch duty for September guys. Duda is going to have live the rest of his life staring at HISTORICALLY LOW slash stats for his first season.

I hope it catches on! Will probably result in more singles for left-handed hitters, but fewer extra base hits for right-handed hitters. Since there are more righties, it might end up resulting in fewer total bases yielded.

Yeah, sure. But I think the answer is Jerry has himself a doghouse* and he's gonna use it. *Jerry Manuel Presents the Ramon Castro Memorial Doghouse of Jerry Manuel.

Hernandez is playing 2B.

Willets Point Sep 13 2010 01:59 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

On further review it appears the Mets lineup on Twitter was posted only 15 minutes ago meaning they deleted a previous tweet that I copied for this post. I blame the LCAO.

Vic Sage Sep 13 2010 02:51 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

I guess I'm still wondering how Castillo got buried beneath two guys, maybe more. cuz burying him beneath 2 tons of concrete would seem excessive, no matter how well deserved.

This is a bad 45 minute-ish storm..

I hope Mrs. Gee can handle her husband's first major league start without Second Spitter and bmfc.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2010 06:28 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Howie says that Jerry says he "knows what Hernandez is," but nonetheless has been starting him everyday since Tejada sprained his wrist, expecially since the Mets'll face lefties the next two days. In other words, Castillo is deep in the doghouse.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2010 06:42 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

In other news, Jerry's a bleeding idiot. I'm sure nobody is watching but he just asked Reyes to sacrifice the pitcher to 3rd base with predictable results.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2010 07:52 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Be careful what you wish for --- he just let Duda hit. Double switch an both Felicianos come in. Scoreless tie after seven.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2010 08:11 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Jerry just made a double switch to (1) move the pitcher's spot back exactly one slot in the batting order and (2) insert Tejada into the game. How do I find this Jerry? I must speak with him.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2010 08:20 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Three-four-five up in the bottom of the ninth.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2010 08:27 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Three-four-five down in the bottom of the 9th.

Teams who bunt their way out of opportunities, today on Geraldo.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2010 08:43 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Ruben Tejada with a surprise appearance and an even bigger surprise hit. Oh, here's someone called Nick Evans.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2010 08:44 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Someone just got a game-winning hit.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2010 08:44 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/13/2010

Evans shall be pied! Pie that bitch!

Girardi will be joining Jerry on that couch.
He bunted with Curtis Granderson up and the speedy Austin Kearns on 1st after a leadoff single in the 10th ... on the road ... and kept in on even with a 2-0 count.
They didn't score.
They lost.
heh heh heh

19 shutouts, 16 at home? That's wacky stuff.

I like how the fans have begun supporting Duda in an almost Thoneberrian way. DOOO_DAH! DOOO-DAH! DOOO_DAH!
