IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Happy Fourth while the Mets go for a satisfying second. Capuano seeks to take the bloom of De La Rosa. It's Fireworks Night in Chavez Ravine. Rain not in the forecast. Back when it was...

Fireworks... In the land of Lohan...

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 07:12 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Do they swing it that July 3 or something is always a getaway day for every team in the league, so half the teams can host fireworks on the third and the other half on the fourth?

Lefty Specialist Jul 04 2011 07:24 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

If Lindsay Lohan was a baseball team, she'd be 11 games under .500, too.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 07:31 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Holy crap, Vin Scully.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 07:31 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Big whiff of Aaron Miles.

Lefty vs. lefty and he throws and 0-2 fastball? Ooops.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 07:39 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Dodgers wearing a patch for Duke Snider. Maybe it's for Reed Richards. I'm not sure.

Nope. Getaway day is often a day game, so no fireworks. The Mets' [crossout]Fireworks[/crossout] Pyrotechnics Night is July 15.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 07:54 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Pyrokinetics Night: August 8. Pyromania Night: September 17. Porno for Pyros Night: TBA.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 07:59 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Left our bats in Queens.

TransMonk Jul 04 2011 08:00 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

These caps have got to go.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 08:05 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

How come I learn more about the Mets watching a Dodger broadcast than a Mets one?

Ashie62 Jul 04 2011 08:06 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Nice dance steps by Du-da.

Crapuano.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 08:09 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Did they not get a scouting report on Loney?

Fman99 Jul 04 2011 08:10 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

These hats are more retarded than Pete Rose's haircut.

Fman99 Jul 04 2011 08:20 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

The Mets don't have a hit yet? Jesus H. Christ.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 04 2011 08:22 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

"HEY, he's throwing a no-hitter so far!" There, now he's officially jinxed.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 04 2011 08:35 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

That worked! Now let's get some runs!

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 08:39 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

There's a run. Man, what are we looking at? A 1:00 AM EST finish?

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 08:43 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Tie game, girls and boys.

metirish Jul 04 2011 08:43 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Beltran ties the game at two with a shot down the first base line.

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 04 2011 08:43 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Two balls down the line and two runs. Maybe it will be a 1 am finish.

Three RBI doulbles. Nice. As nice is watching everyone turn on him. They didn't have a hit until this inning.

metirish Jul 04 2011 08:44 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Make that three balls down that area....wow

Benjamin Grimm Jul 04 2011 08:44 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

It's a triple-double!

metirish Jul 04 2011 08:46 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

This kid is trying to throw the ball through the wall.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 08:53 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Finally made Loney chase a breaking pitch.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 08:59 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Paulino's beard looking very diabolical.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 09:06 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

I think I'll bet about 40 Craners that Beato is coming in.

I lose! It's Boy Scout Bobby!

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 09:10 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

If he doesn't have a big arc-ing Burt Reynolds mustache, he's not Don Mattingly, so stop telling me he is.

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 04 2011 09:12 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

He's hit 101 mph and it looks effortless. Go Young Bobby!

metirish Jul 04 2011 09:13 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Keep looking Furcal cos you ain't catching that 101mph heat.

metirish Jul 04 2011 09:16 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Angel pulls one down the third base line this time for a double.

metirish Jul 04 2011 09:16 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Damn Turner hit agin....

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 04 2011 09:22 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

You've got to be able to get that run in. Be big again Bay.

metirish Jul 04 2011 09:27 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Was there a time this season when the Mets never got two out hits?, I ask because all they seem to do lately is get two out hits..

Gwreck Jul 04 2011 09:29 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Mets lead the NL in 2-out runs: things I learned on the SNY broadcast. Where was this production in 07-08-09??

metirish Jul 04 2011 09:31 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

170 two out hits to lead NL as Gwreck says...wow

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 09:33 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

It looks like the Mets have three guys they trust as set-up men now, too. Three plus if you count their tentative one-bater trust of the Byrd. Two smutout innings by Parnell. Breath of freshness.

Gwreck Jul 04 2011 09:34 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Great job by Parnell. I figured we were going to get Isringhausen for the 8th but Terry surprised me.

Damn, Parnell was something tonight! Let's see what we get from Frankie.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 04 2011 09:37 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

An escape-reversal (two points!) on the usual we've-never-seen-this-guy-offensive-lockdown. Copious two-out runs. Two innings from Parnell. (That they were dominating was a bonus.) Barring an epic ninth-inning collapse, this may be my most pleasant West-coast game since 2006.

metirish Jul 04 2011 09:45 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Damn what a curve-ball from K-Rod, not sure if it was the camera angle but you could see it buckling loney all the way.

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 04 2011 09:47 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Another nice bender. Other than the 2B, looking good, Frankie. Happy recap...west coast style!

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 09:50 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Made it before 12 too. Time for some brief celebratory throwing down in the DJ room.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2011 10:04 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Really, outside of a feckless first two times through the order (attribute it to cross country blues, if you will), it was a pretty solid game, outside of a pair of poor pitch choices to Loney. This really was the better team winning. The Mets just had more bullets. the Dodgers are faking it at too many positions: catcher, third, short, and left. Loney's a key bat, and he isn't even Daniel Murphy over at first.

G-Fafif Jul 04 2011 11:03 PM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Turns out Caps was quite sightly.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2011 07:06 AM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

It's funny. As a two-time Tommy Johnian, and knocked out by soreness for an extended period in 2010, he's on the tightest pitch count on the team. He's pitched beyond the sixth twice all year, and yet he gets a decision every time out. If he leads with a lead, his team holds it for three innings. If he leaves with a defecit, his team fails to overcome it for three innings. Seventeen starts, but only two no-decisions. Chris Young should be so fortunate.

Ceetar Jul 05 2011 07:10 AM Re: IGT 7/4/2011: NYM @ LAD -- Unsightly Caps All Around

Yesterday I came across an old Rheingold advertisement display that used to hang in a deli in Brooklyn. "Official sponsor of the '69 World Series Mets" or some such. also had two '69 WS ticket stubs, a single dominican peso, and a fake nixon dollar protesting Vietnam or some such. Why those things were taped to this display, we'll never know. I don't know why I'm teasing this here besides that I had no time yesterday to properly photograph and post about it.
