Mr. Eating Clubs vs. Mr. Innings-Eater. Can we make it an actual winning streak? Keep this hitting/airtight bullpen thing happening? Keep on dancing to the rock and roll... on Saturday night, Saturday night?

I'm loving Dillon Gee!

Ashie62 May 07 2011 06:32 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

I suspect Gee will get all the work he wants this season.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 07 2011 06:56 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

I'm blaming that run on the combined negative mojo of Guys! and George Foster. (Really, man-- your shitty play was due to the Mets' "not being ready to win?" Go eat your mate or something.)

Edgy DC May 07 2011 07:03 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Crisis can lead folks to attack within. Meanwise, George Foster looks like $1,000,000. He's a 1982 Met. There are 2002 Mets who aren't in shape that good.

Ashie62 May 07 2011 07:03 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

George Foster did seem at all like the moody ballplayer I remember

Edgy DC May 07 2011 07:04 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Seems like we went to the pen prematurely.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 07 2011 07:07 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

The timing/length of the in-game pieces is suspect, and there's often an inordinate amount of praise for opposing players who are doing well during a particular series. Also, his understanding of the game can be poor and almost ostentatiously (willfully?) "jock"y. On another note, Mike O'Connor comes to the plate like he's made out of 3-foot-long 2x4s and C-clamps.

I agree he praises opposing teams' players too much but it would be disingenuous to call Burkhardt out on that without also calling Darling out for the same thing.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 07:17 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Talk about praising the opposition. Listen to the radio crew. I don't get a lack of understanding of the game, either. I mean, Gary and Ron are sitting here this inning scratching their heads over the notion of Hu being removed from the roster. Who's going to be the backup shortstop? Who's going to provide late inning defense? Maybe the guy who they replace him with. Back to you, guys.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 07:22 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Did Gary just call Jerry Stiller "George Costanza"?

Gwreck May 07 2011 07:25 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Yep. I am of the mind that Seinfeld is one of the most wildly overrated television shows of all time but even I know that's not right.

Igarashi sure seems to be throwing with confidence.

Well he got the first two guys (three, with the error) with efficiencey. It took me two or three tries to submit that post, and now he's walked the seven and eight hitters.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 07:35 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Surprised to see him stay in and face Sands. Frank Costanza must be getting antsy waiting for that third out.

metirish May 07 2011 07:38 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

hilarious , the cameras zoom in on Chip Hale who looks like he's having the worst day ever, head shaking the lot , then he turns around and starts jawing to Igarashi's interpreter.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 07:38 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Jerry Sands: No. Soup. For. You.

Jerry Stiller: embarrassing. Extremely embarrassing.

Frayed Knot May 07 2011 07:44 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Geez, has the pacing of these last two games been slow enough? A foot race between Oprah and Rosie O'Donnell moves along faster.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 07:48 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Jerry Stiller: No more embarassing than a typical day at Wrigley. (As if that's our goal.) Seriously, strange how many people get asked to sing that song without them really knowing how it goes. Bad jobbie by Reyes. Did he seem to be running gingerly? (But a really bad jobbie by Tjerry.)

Gwreck May 07 2011 07:50 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

If it can be proven that Burkhardt is responsible for the Stiller interview, I am fine with him being fired immediately.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 07:58 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Big job by Byrdak, fanning Ethier. Big job by CitiField, holding Kemp.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 08:04 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Here's the point where the go with the lefty to face Davis-Pridie-Thole, but you know Hairston will bat for Pridie. Maybe they pinch-hit for Thole, too.

Ashie62 May 07 2011 08:06 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

No pinch hit extra innings loom.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 08:09 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Or... let Pridie bat and magic happen.

The coach is named Chip and he turns his head But he doesn't say a word Terry sits on the pine and he flashes the sign And meaning behind is a great big turd And Ashie doesn't understand it He always says "Let the batter bat" And he can see... no reasons Cuz there are... no reasons What reasons do you need for that?

Wow, Frankie wasn't scary tonight. No acclerated heart rate or tightness in my temple.

Frayed Knot May 07 2011 08:32 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

So other than the injured starter, two bad base-running plays by Reyes, the two base-running goofs by Paulino, and a pace of play which rivals plate tectonics, it was a pretty good game.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 08:34 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Have to say, I don't much appreciate Gary going on about Mets pitchers giving up a .400 OBP to number-eight hitters without at least adding on that it's in part coming from on high, with them pitching around eighties or outright walking them with runners on base.

Frayed Knot May 07 2011 08:38 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Yeah, IWs really need to be taken out when considering OBAs. Several version of 'Runs Created' do treat regular walks and IWs separately.

Edgy DC May 07 2011 08:55 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Speaking of walks, the golden grace of this game has to be all the different Mets grinding them out. Mature way to win. It was 4-2, but it might have just as easily been 8-2 with an odd break or two.

Frayed Knot May 07 2011 08:58 PM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

Could have been 8-2 the other way considering all the runners the Dodgers stranded - particularly early. Game might have set a record for foul balls.

MFS62 May 08 2011 08:27 AM Re: IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

I can't get the thought out of my head that if Pelfrey had Dillon Gee's cojones, he'd be a 20 game winner. Later
