IGT 6/8/2011 More Milwaukee... Schlemeel, schlemazel!

Benjamin Grimm Jun 08 2011 04:19 AM

Mike Pelfrey pitches for the Mets against Randy Wolf, who hasn't lost to the Mets since 2005. Let's make it happen tonight! Oh, and don't trade Reyes.

Centrefield looking over his shoulder. OE: The 237th All-time Met sucks more than a black hole formed from the collapse of a star that consisted entire of vacuum cleaners.

It's interesting to see McGehee get dropped a spot in the order. He was getting a little negative feedback from Brewers' fans during last night's game as he is slumping. Specifically, after the 6th inning Fielder HR, I overheard one fan calling the Mets' manager a dolt for pitching Prince anything in the strike zone while McGehee was behind him in the lineup.

The Bastard who cost us the game: 1. Beato. 2. Evans 3. Myrna 4. Izzy. 5. Bay. I'm adding Pagan to your list. He batted cleanup tonight even though he still can't lefties. Hernandez noted in tonight's telecast that Pagan entered the game batting .143 against lefties -- the first time I've heard media acknowledge Pagan's suckiness against lefties. Keith's observation, merely limited to the 2011 season, which could be dismissed due to small sample size given the amount of PT Pagan missed this season because of injuries, didn't go far enough. Here's what Pagan did tonight against Wolf: Struck out in the first, stranding Reyes on third; Flied out to lead off the fourth; Popped out to second in the 6th.

Unless K-Rod needed the night off, he should've entered the game no later than the ninth inning.

Fuck the save and the finish. I'm beginning to wonder if K-Rod's got a secret side deal to share with Terry, some of the option vesting $17.5M that K-Rod's on pace to earn.

Thank you (sort of) for cataloguing these because after the Mets took a 6-2 lead and all seemed rosy, I was thinking this could still go awry because I was pretty certain it had gone awry a lot in the recent past but didn't have the industriousness to look it up. What Turner Field was for too long and Pac Bell was at its opening, Joe Robbie/Whatever Stadium and Miller Park have become in recent times: Met death traps. And the one time we sweep them, what happens? They snatch the 2008 wild card away at the last minute.

Mets actually have a very positive record at Miller. So to satisfy all trends, we win the series, but the game they lose is walk-off devasting. Then a simple series win against the thieving scoundrels in western PA gets them to .500

I remember those first two games well (and was also at Miller Park for them). As I recall, they both took place on Mother's Day and probably both were hit with those pink bats. Interestingly, the Hall walkoff was the only homer that Bradford yielded in all of 2006.

Of course the reason they didn't have a lefty is they already used Byrdak to pitch to Fielder, and he didn't get him out. And the other lefty options were demoted for sucking. Couldn't use Niese because he's pitching today. Good offensive team I would've gone to the save tandem duel closer thing and started with Isringhausen. But gotta get some of these guys right. Beato hasn't pitched well since returning, Buchholz was doing well until he apparently got hurt. Parnell may look good again now, but it's a small sample. But he may be ahead of Beato after last night.

Edgy DC Jun 09 2011 08:26 AM Re: IGT 6/8/2011 More Milwaukee... Schlemeel, schlemazel!

I tip my hat to Fielder there. What I would have Terry do is go to Rodriguez then and there, or if Rodriguez is unavailable, his best available reliever, which I guess he meant to do. Thayer in the ninth is what chokes me.

bmfc1 Jun 09 2011 08:26 AM Re: IGT 6/8/2011 More Milwaukee... Schlemeel, schlemazel!

I'm confused as to why O'Connor was sent down (lefty) and why Thayer (a mustachioed Parnell) was kept. I know that O'Connor had a few bad outings in a row but I wished that he was around to pitch to Fielder.

I think the logic of Thayer is that it was the bottom of the order and if the Mets were going to win it was almost guarenteed that Braun and Fielder would be coming up in the bottom of the 10th and you'd rather Frankie there. Because you know he was expecting to bunt at one point in the 10th and play for 1 run, so it's not like Thayer would have a huge cushion.

Hell, I'd rather have seen Thayer out there to start the 8th.

I've hated this joint ever since they bitch-slapped us around in a mid-week series in early 2001.

In case you'd forgotten what a genuinely strange, probably-slightly-mentally-ill dude Nyjer Morgan is... don't. Best post-game interview of the year.
