Not creating an IGT won't make the G go away. Jose Reyes SS Angel Pagan RF Carlos Beltran CF David Wright 3B Ike Davis 1B Lucas Duda LF Josh Thole C Ruben Tejada 2B Mike Pelfrey P Scenario for Met miracle here. Delude at will.

I swear Howie just paused to think of what the name of Sun Life Stadium is this week.

G-Fafif Sep 21 2010 05:13 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

That first half-inning could not have taken more than 120 seconds.

Zvon Sep 21 2010 05:20 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Okay. We are here rooting for Pelfrey to get another win and for the Mets to hit a grand slam. There are things left to root for folks. What else should we be rooting for now so close to the end of this oh so disappointing season?

Zvon Sep 21 2010 05:23 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Duda does it!

Zvon Sep 21 2010 05:25 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Damn you Mike Stanton! Nice catch you bastage.

Watch out 1919 Giants and Phillies! ]

Wayne Hagin notes Miami Vice was one of his favorite shows of the '80s.

G-Fafif Sep 21 2010 05:55 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

First three innings took a shade over 40 minutes. 1919 Giants and Phillies appear safe. But they didn't have commercial breaks.

Mets going for the kinda loss where the ratio of hits to runs is obscene.

Zvon Sep 21 2010 06:32 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Mets have 10 hits and only one run to show for it in the middle of the 6th.

So far a fine outing by Big Pelf. A shame if it goes to waste.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 21 2010 06:50 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

I think I'd do the Hillside Honda girl.

Zvon Sep 21 2010 06:57 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Wright should have fielded that grounder that went past him for a double. And with two outs and a man on 3rd Wright muffs a grounder to his left and the Fish take the lead. Oy.

The Second Spitter Sep 21 2010 07:00 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

This stadium sucks more than Stade Olympique.

Zvon Sep 21 2010 07:00 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

A grounder goes right through Reyes legs. This is now officially both funny and disgusting.

themetfairy Sep 21 2010 07:09 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

David costs us a run, David knocks in a run. Ka-Boom!

Zvon Sep 21 2010 07:11 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Dave ties it up again. He will have to do more to make me forgive him though. I'm a tough fan.

Zvon Sep 21 2010 07:13 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

That's another thing to root for. Wright driving in 100. He needs five. That would be sweet.

Zvon Sep 21 2010 07:16 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Pelfrey is off the hook and outta the game. I personally wanted to see him go one more. Why not try and get him that win? Are we playing to not lose that one game that will knock us out of the wildcard? Paaalease.

Zvon Sep 21 2010 07:26 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Christ.

themetfairy Sep 21 2010 07:27 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Oh....Just....Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dessens has nobody to blame for this bullshit but himself.

bmfc1 Sep 21 2010 07:28 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

2 out nobody on, but a right AB so Jerry brings in the righty and the game is over. Jerry once again proves that he is an idiot. Feliciano looked good and it's Elmer Dessens in the BP but he has to go by the book. Jerry can't be fired soon enough. I'm not absolving Dessens who should be released after the season ends but he shouldn't have been in the game.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2010 07:35 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Although I could see Jerry getting roasted for leaving in Pedro to face the RH hitting Hanley when a poke would beat you. My point being not to rescue Jerry so much but at some point the players have to be blamed too - in this case it's ANOTHER 2-out/none-on situation turned into a game-killer. I noted the other night that 8 of the 12 Slams this year came with 2 outs and also that I noticed a ton of 3R HRs that came w/2 outs too. It's like even in the game that they could win the team manages to take 3 or 4 key situations and muck up the entire game with them. Tonight's line shows: - 2 straight errors - 5 base-runners erased - 2-out/none-on into 3 opponent runs

Ugh, Gary cements my feeling that this season went south ever since the Puerto Rico series. I remember saying in one of those IGTs that I hope I don't have to look back on that series as the beginning of the end. But it was. Another nice pitching performance wasted.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2010 08:47 PM Re: IGT 9/21/10 NYM @ FLA: We're Still In This Thing!

Yeah, when the manager's constantly playing for one run, pitchers are being asked to be perfect, and are going to be prone to giving up three while trying to avoid giving up one.

Manuel is terrible, doesn't help, and I'll be glad to buy him his first post-retirement drink, but given the guy he picked to start the inning, he made the right move, sorta. Feliciano's ineffective against righties, and Jerry can't pitch the inning-- or, rather, the batter or two it should have taken for him to get out of the inning-- for Dessens.

The only poor execution one tonight was the bad Pelfrey bunt. - The caught stealings were both good throws and I approved of the runners going in both cases. Suxx but whatyagonnado? - the errors did suck and both were caused by poor decisions: not getting in front in Wright's case and hanging back in Jose's But the fuckin' HRs are killing us. That's two straight games where they had the opposition at 2-outs/2-strikes - and instead of getting out of it ... or instead of having a damaging yet come-backable hit which allowed a run or three, our hurlers managed to give up the maximum 7 runs in two pitches. And the number of time that this has happened starts to make you think it's not just happenstance. Meanwhile, our last two HRs were both solos even as we had runners on all fuckin' night, with Duda's shot coming right after one of the GiDPs
