For some men, fourth grade never ends.

It's a shame their regular centerfielder is on the DL or else we would've had "Dicktorino" to use as well.

Hey, FOX. DICKHEADS. Syracuse has Mets fans. We don't want the fucking Twins and the fucking Angels.

Buck and McCarver won't know what to do if the Mets don't follow their pre-conceived notions and actually play a competitive game.

themetfairy May 28 2011 05:26 PM Re: IGT 5/28/2011: PHI @ NYM -- Rake Over Cole

Turner drives in Reyes for the first run of the game. Buck and McCarver are making Ike and Tina references, and think that they're clever....

Frayed Knot May 28 2011 05:55 PM Re: IGT 5/28/2011: PHI @ NYM -- Rake Over Cole

Looking the same as last night as normally you'd think a double, 2 singles + three stolen bases in an 8-batter span would yield more than one run ... but you'd be wrong.

Fox just had a feature on Jason Bay. If he wasn't a baseball player, he'd like to be a weatherman. I can't say that my life has been enhanced by this knowledge.

Like that they let Pelfrey hit and therefore continue to pitch

Frayed Knot May 28 2011 07:23 PM Re: IGT 5/28/2011: PHI @ NYM -- Rake Over Cole

That Rollins hit was really the first solid Philly hit of the night. Two bloops and that RBI grounder over 1st were their only other hits.

Edgy DC May 28 2011 07:25 PM Re: IGT 5/28/2011: PHI @ NYM -- Rake Over Cole

O'Connor has done nothing but succeed, and here I am desperately trying to talk myself into having faith in him here.

On the other hand, they don't actually have to hit anything hard to score off this team. We'll just hand it to them instead.

Wishing the running game translated into scores for the Mets like it just did for Philadelphia.

Dale Thayer, wearing Number 46, makes his Mets debut.

batmagadanleadoff May 28 2011 07:52 PM Re: IGT 5/28/2011: PHI @ NYM -- Rake Over Cole

So what are the odds that Thayer gets his own Topps Mets card? The outlook isn't brilliant.

bmfc1 May 28 2011 08:05 PM Re: IGT 5/28/2011: PHI @ NYM -- Rake Over Cole

1 and 4 since Fred Wilpon opened his fucking mouth. Since the high we felt last Friday, 1 and 6. Three non-pitchers on the team right now are worth a damn and 2 might be gone in two months: Reyes, Beltran and Turner. The other 10 hitters could be waived tomorrow and I wouldn't care. It's fucking torture being a Mets fan. Yet I'll be back tomorrow.

were there as many Phillies fans at the game as FOX were saying? , from what they were showing it was a lot.

This isn't regressing to the mean it's something else entirely. I mean yesterday was Izzy anad K-Rod, each legtimately talented pitchers and K-Rod probably the best closer in the game right now. a lot of bad defense, bad holding runners on, caving to pressure caving to something. I don't know, but it's ridiculously frustrating. These pitchers are good pitchers. their offense is not a good offense. Both days our pitcher outpitched their 'Ace', and we lost. it's damn well insane. the Mets looked like they were clearly a better team than the Phillies for roughly 14-15 of those innings. This doesn't feel uncommon either, I feel like a lot of times the Mets are cruising along, come undone in one inning, and it blows the whole game. Why do their errors happen with no one on or with two outs, and ours all happen in the most crucial parts of the game? WHY IS THAT?

Edgy DC May 29 2011 05:09 AM Re: IGT 5/28/2011: PHI @ NYM -- Rake Over Cole

Among the errors you can look at was a lefthander like O'Connor letting the tying runner on first jog to second uncontested. Being better for a period is nice, but leads must be padded. You can't count on a bullpen to pitch perfectly with one run leads every time. The bullpen has picked this team up, but you've gotta pick them up by taking the heat off of them also. Going oh-for-15 or so down the stretch was not helpful.

Ashie62 May 29 2011 06:06 AM Re: IGT 5/28/2011: PHI @ NYM -- Rake Over Cole

If you neutralize that advantage, you should beat them. No one's perfect, Izzy and K-Rod among them, and not building a freaking lead in either game was criminal. Everything seemed to fall apart at the same time from the pitching to the fielding to the throwing. It's just frustrating to watch, from Murphy failing to put his glove down to Tejada rushing to try to get the guy at second instead of planting and throwing to first.

Obviously they're not going scoreless for a month, which is why it sucks that their bad inning(s) coincided with a tight game against a divisional opponent. bad luck, or some 'bad team' philosophy where the pitching and hitting don't line up when you want? Yes, they're good situational hitters, and take the bases when they need them. But we made it easy for them in that regard. 2 outs soft single up the middle for Rollins and we can't get them out? (I would've kept Pelf in, but that's hardly a given or anything) They don't make a ton of errors (although they have been this weekend) but they're not infallible either. We were good defensively for most of this year too, but suddenly we're making errors that they capitalize on and they make errors and we don't. bad timing? small sample size? we hit Oswalt a lot, but a lot of the hits were two outs. 2 two outs hits that don't score a run because they were singles with no one on. Although I would say while I do really like our bullpen, I'm not real sold on the situational parts of it. I kinda wish Collins stopped using it like that.
