Time to turn things around, Dammit!

Gwreck Apr 14 2011 01:39 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Maybe they'll rest Tulowitzki in game #2.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2011 01:40 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Maybe they won't play like loser pussies as they do practically every night. F these guys.

Now we'll have to go 9-1 in our next 10.

1/1 in plays in the outfield so far. Pagan with the catch. 2/2. Pagan again.

Swear to Gil I just instinctively thought "all right!" as I saw Ty Wigginton make a nice play at third. It's only been seven years since he was traded.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2011 02:33 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Let's get Brad Amazus goin' in game two.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2011 02:36 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Hairston appears to have hit a 2-run homer ? At least a double

Hagin has introduced some Guy in a cap on the grassy knoll as interfering with it.

Nickeas needs to do something here before I personally send him to Buffalo.

Nickeas!

First major league RBIs Also first major league extra-base hit.

Nickeas heeding buckets warning and collects his first career rbi.

Is Nickeas allowed to get an extra-base hit? Man, it's all coming together. Getting Pagan going yesterday, getting Hairston going in game one. Now Nickeas getting an extra-base hit? You know, sooner or later, the Mets are gonna win one of these suckas.

metirish Apr 14 2011 02:49 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Fourth game in a row that the Mets have taken a two run lead Howie says....y'all know how those games ended.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2011 02:51 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

With Howie and Wayne biting me?

TransMonk Apr 14 2011 02:59 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

I'm pretty sure even Piazza threw some of the baserunners out.

metirish Apr 14 2011 03:02 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Mets haven't thrown out anyone YET this season?

Noap. Oh, and "Phee-yew" (for now) as Capuano staggers, bleeding, from the fifth on a Helton liner with the bases jammed full of Rox.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 14 2011 03:18 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

One-out SugarPants double wasted, as both of the sluggers behind him whiff. But it's all right, because one run here or there probably won't make much of a difference, anyway.

Hey, look! More runs. Jose with a two-run single in the bottom of the fourth. 4-2 Mets.

For what it's worth, "Nasty Factor" seems to love De La Rosa's offspeed offerings more than the umps do.

TransMonk Apr 14 2011 03:53 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Yeah, I'm not sure what the Nasty Factor is all about. I've read MLB.com's explanation and I still don't get it as a practical application.

Is Tulowitzki the new Chipper Jones?

TransMonk Apr 14 2011 03:56 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

We shouldn't be pitching to Tulo anymore.

Gwreck Apr 14 2011 04:04 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

I really don't care if the next time he's up the bases are loaded, the next pitch to Tulowitzki needs to be in his ribs.

the obligatory 3-run homer is surrendered. Holy shot are we sorry

bmfc1 Apr 14 2011 04:14 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Thanks for Emaus, JP. The good news is that F. Rodriguez won't finish 55 games this way.

themetfairy Apr 14 2011 05:16 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

The only reason to bring in Parnell would be to keep Frankie from finishing the game....

Edgy DC Apr 14 2011 05:22 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

Edgy DC Apr 14 2011 09:14 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

What's the top of it? Mine is the notion that we need Pelfrey to be a good pitcher and he may not even be a pitcher. Like we're trying to convince ourselves something that just can't be realized as true. He's my key Met for 2011 and he's a broke key.

metirish Apr 14 2011 09:30 PM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

On top right now at this minute is the defense , at the very least even when a team is not doing much else you expect them to be able to catch the ball. If I thought anything under Collins would be up to snuff then it would have been the defense.

But if he chews up $17.5 million worth of payroll in 2012, it will negatively impact the roster. I think the Mets will find some way to avoid being on the hook for that money. I still like the option, if all else fails, of releasing him after game 54.

On a general level I just want to say how sick I am of assorted bloggers on twitter and people in general making it a point to reference K-Rods contract status every fucking appearance.

Edgy DC Apr 15 2011 08:31 AM Re: IGT 4/14/11, Game 2 - Let's Get This Party Started!

The thing about the Roxx is that they've seemingly been a second-half team the last five years. Starting off hot this year can really work for them. They've got the defending world champs in their division but an early lead can pad their confidence. Are they wearing patches for Keli McGregor or was that last year?

I'm not sure, but I don't think you can dump a player if he's still performing -- Cora's case was different, because he clearly wasn't performing.
