Mets played Pirates a tornado ripped through Queens last September. And guess what there a National Weather Service "watch" on for until 8 PM?

We've got tickets, and the baby's with LWMotherGrandmother, so we're going. I'm not sure that BetterHalfer knows about the tornado watch. Our little surprise, eh, guys?

Our little surprise, eh, guys? Be careful as all get-out. Remember what happened last time. A flash storm that followed tornado warnings powered through New York City Thursday evening, with winds up to 70 miles per hour knocking down trees, damaging buildings, destroying cars and causing the death of at least one person. The severe weather wreaked havoc on the city’s transportation system in the middle of the evening commute. All Long Island Rail Road service was suspended out of Manhattan due to downed trees on the tracks near Sunnyside, Queens. LIRR service was also disrupted between Brooklyn and Queens, and the entire 7 subway line was inoperative for several hours. Several roadways were closed to vehicular traffic because of the debris. A woman was killed when a tree toppled onto her vehicle on the Grand Central Parkway near Jewel Avenue, authorities said. It may be because I just got through watching Season 2 of United States of Tara, which takes place in Kansas, but tornadoes are nothing to fuck around with. Then again, this is just a watch. Either way, possible severe weather.

Looks pretty untornadic out there, thankfully.

Who will go farther next season as a Met..Justin Turner Overdrive or or Grilled Ruben Tejada?

Frayed Knot Jun 01 2011 06:55 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

You gotta be fuckin' kidding me with this! The bats are giving so little margin for error that it leads you to believe that every play NOT made is going to lead to a disaster ... particularly in the late innings.

Ashie62 Jun 01 2011 06:57 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Like these dribblers? Willie Harris fucked up.

Frayed Knot Jun 01 2011 06:58 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

They haven't hit a ball out of the infield all inning but at this point you'd be happy to get out of here only down by one or two.

bmfc1 Jun 01 2011 06:58 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Unfucking believable. Does shit like this happen to other teams?

Pretty clear to me his foot was on the bag. Blown call, even if Willie didn't handle it correctly.

I'll take a triple play right here, thanks Pedro.

Ashie62 Jun 01 2011 07:12 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Willie Harris abused the Mets as an opponent. Now he is abusing the Mets as a member.

Frayed Knot Jun 01 2011 07:16 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Seven hits that inning - and the only one that didn't hit a NYM glove first was the one that landed at Beltran's feet. And now that we're into middle reliever territory I'll just assume a six-up/six-down situation so we can get to the closer that much quicker.

metirish Jun 01 2011 07:18 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Oh I don't know Ron why things went so bad so quickly, maybe though it's because it's a shit team?

Frayed Knot Jun 01 2011 07:21 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Things to do today: - Go meekly in the 7th against a no-name reliever without getting a ball out of the infield .... CHECK!!

Going meekly would be more palatable with Keith in the booth. The boredom of going meekly actually brings out the crazy in Keith.

The Pirates have Overbay, we have UnderBay.

I'd eat chips out of her nickers.

HahnSolo Jun 01 2011 07:35 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Well, yeah, Gary, the bullpen has to do better. But the Mets aren't winning anything with the offense scoring 2 runs a game. Nice knowin' ya, O'Connor.

Ashie62 Jun 01 2011 07:36 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Somebody who wrote the KTE said Overbay was washed up...really? just kidding

Frayed Knot Jun 01 2011 07:38 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

The Pirates have had 22 (and counting) base-runners (versus 12 outs) just in the 7th, 8th, & 9th innings of yesterday's game and today's. Met batters have had no base-runners and gotten just two balls out of the infield over that same span.

Edgy DC Jun 01 2011 07:39 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Hey, cool, an out!

metirish Jun 01 2011 07:41 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

for the second straight inning the Pirates bat around - Cohen....fuck skae

Ojeda saying Mets have some guy who mostly care about their stats. Seeing as how very few of them have stats worth caring about, I can't imagine who he means.

Ojeda was spewing a lot of nonsense. I'm not sure who he means either. Who put up any stats at all? Turner hitting a home run in a lost cause? Did he have a whole spiel about lack of power planned and didn't want to use it in light of the homer? Beato? Clearly he started pitching well enough for outs just after he ran out of inherited runners to score?

If you're going to be "gutsy" and spew stuff like that you really ought to have some specifics as to who and how. If not you're just blowing smoke. The problem (IMO) isn't stat hunting it's that they're not very good right now. The hitting stinks, they're missing their #1, #3, and #5 bats, the FA LF can't get the ball out of the infield, and the previously good bullpen can't get ME out right now.

My argument was play good defense (like they were doing) and hit better with RISP (just asking league average here, nothing fancy) and they'd be able to hang on to a couple of wins until the big bats come back to help. But if they're not going to do that.. Will be nice to see Reyes again.

went with my son to the game tonight, on a school trip. - got double charged at one food kiosk, and short changed at another. I guess Fred has them under orders to get the cash in by any means necessary; - we sat in the "Pepsi Porch"... which means i couldn't see McCutcheon's diving catch in CF. Looked good on the replay, though. Thanks for those great sightlines, Fred! - Bucs bat around twice, with nary a real hit hidden amongst the onslaught... wow, do we suck. But my son wants to stay because "we might score 7 in the 9th." Gotta love it, right? - on the way out, my son asks if Jason Bay is our new Shawn Green. "Indeed," i reply. He wanted to know why Willie Harris wasn't Shawn Green. "Because he's too busy being Shawn Gilbert" - on the bright side, the lack of crowd made getting out of the parking lot and onto the GCP a snap. new slogan: 75 wins or bust!

MFS62 Jun 01 2011 09:44 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

In case nobody here has heard yet, Lucas Duda had two dingers and a double for Buffalo tonight. (and two walks) If Davis is going to be sidelined for an extended period of time, I'd like to see Duda brought up to play first, Turner (and Murphy) at third, Tejada (or Turner) at second and Harris playing wherever guys who have been DFA'd play. Later

Edgy DC Jun 01 2011 09:47 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

Davis doesn't need to be sidelined for any of that to happen.

Edgy DC Jun 01 2011 09:53 PM Re: Mets-Pirates igt 6/1/11

I mean Harris relieved of his duties. But it's looking like Wright returns before Davis right now.
