I would be very impressed if the Mets won this series. Time to cripple the Tiggers..

It should be noted that it's a 7:05 start. If you wait until 7:10 you'll have missed a Jose Reyes AB.

G-Fafif Jun 28 2011 01:11 PM Re: IGT 6/28/2011 Mets @ Tigers Dickey v. Porcello

It should be noted that it's a 7:05 start. If you wait until 7:10 you'll have missed a Jose Reyes AB. I do that all the time with out of town games, miss the first few ABs because I'm conditioned to turn the TV on at 7:10. The pre-game stuff is just an excuse to get an extra 5 minutes of commercials in.

Is there some new rule I haven't heard about that says you can't use a DH to generate offense?

How about Paulino at DH?

sharpie Jun 28 2011 03:26 PM Re: IGT 6/28/2011 Mets @ Tigers Dickey v. Porcello

Mets scored 14 runs last time Harris was batting second at DH. Maybe that's the ticket.

I guess I missed some good shit. This team is starting to surprise me semi-weekly with these funky lineups.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 28 2011 07:41 PM Re: IGT 6/28/2011 Mets @ Tigers Dickey v. Porcello

Wow, I was following this at a restaurant and nearly fell out of my seat when I saw Bay had hit the GS. Then the Beltran hit his and I thought my flight this morning landed me in an alternate universe. Let's just hope they've left some for the rest of the week.

Added bonus: this extremely-pale Tiger reliever sampler plate. I swear to God, the last four innings have been like "BP With The Visible Human."

Emptying the bench and they put Hairston in for... Harris at DH? Um, OK. Terry's proven he knows best. Gotta rest our unstoppable DH.

Yankees helping the Mets out, up 11-2 over the Brews. I guess the Mets might helping the Yankees also.

They better pound Hamels and whoever pitches after that.

Frayed Knot Jun 28 2011 09:19 PM Re: IGT 6/28/2011 Mets @ Tigers Dickey v. Porcello

That was Greinke tonight too, although he was partly done in by his defense. John Peter (Juan Pierre) turned four ways then fell on a Granderson soft fly right at him and played it into a 1st inning RBI triple. Then the Brews played the most ridiculous shift I've ever seen on ARod (everyone except 1B on the other side of the diamond even though he hits to the opposite field all the time) and so he simply rolled a ball through the open hole WITH MEN ON BASE for a run-scoring single.

I mean in theory I'm supposed to root for them because it's factual, but that doesn't mean I did/do. Rather the Reds and Cardinals fall out uof it and the second best team simply lose out in the wild card. Also hoping Cliff Lee's ridiculous June leads to a dead-arm July and the Phillies go 10-17 including a sweep at the hands of the Mets and we're not talking wild card anyway.
