I need some sorbet here to cleanse the palate after that sad ass Monday night display of, uh, for lack of a better term, "Mets baseball."

G-Fafif Jul 18 2011 08:25 PM Re: IGT, 7/19/2011, Cardinalia vs. Metropolitana

Because the Mets are really sucking at ball But they're getting back Reyes And that says it all!

Paging Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright, please report to the lineup card.

$7 tix available for tonight, as per the Mets' FB presence. Smart move.

bmfc1 Jul 19 2011 01:25 PM Re: IGT, 7/19/2011, Cardinalia vs. Metropolitana

As I asked last night, if Wright can play 9 innings in the minors, why can't he play 9 innings for the Mets? It's supposed to be about his getting his timing back but it's not like he'd be breaking up a juggernaut.

The team will still lack a viable backup shortstop. It just won't matter as much.

Keeping Nick Evans up means Hairy is still hurting prolly, and might get traded too.

It's not like the other teams will have missed his injury. It might have been a good idea to disable him with the callup (he and Evans are pretty redundant), but I'm g-g-guessing they didn't want to push his availablity past the trade deadline.

If he gets has to come out mid-game, Turner or Harris. If he needs to sit a start, Tejada comes back. I don't know about NYC, but it's 114 in the shade out there in DC. I hope Carlos is ready for this.

(I just got back from the gym, so I'm not throwing stones here) I know baby's can be unpredictable to a point, but maybe Nickeas should've been a little closer to Queens given that Mrs. Thole was due to pop at any moment? Apparently he's not oging to make it in time for the game tonight.

Edgy DC Jul 19 2011 05:52 PM Re: IGT, 7/19/2011, Cardinalia vs. Metropolitana

And Beltran is emphatically back in earnest, with two two-out doubles, but Reyes is hitless thus far.

Edgy DC Jul 19 2011 06:16 PM Re: IGT, 7/19/2011, Cardinalia vs. Metropolitana

Problem with no-hitters is that maintaining one leads to walks, which lead to hits, which lead to runs.

Edgy DC Jul 19 2011 06:22 PM Re: IGT, 7/19/2011, Cardinalia vs. Metropolitana

Another one of those Beltran doubles would be cool about now.

And without much in the way of power --- they had a total of 19 homers in the lineup the other day after Hairy got hurt --- their offense has been modestly successful at stringing hits and walks together, and he's in the middle of every other rally subverting it.

Ceetar Jul 19 2011 07:12 PM Re: IGT, 7/19/2011, Cardinalia vs. Metropolitana

speaking of home runs, another 'perk' to _keeping_ Beltran is he has a chance to join Bonds, Bonds, Dawson, Finley, Mays, A-Rod, and Sanders in the 300/300 club. He's at 294/292 HR/SB. might be iffy to get 8 SB for him in two months, but watching a 300/300 race could be fun too..

Good idea--it's the bottom of the 9th, the Mets are two outs from victory, so cut away to preview the post-game show.

Really? I sit corrected. Know what was really goofy? In a game where the offense really found itself again --- two big guys back, driving the ball all over, working good at bats, waiting for their pitches, everybody in on the act --- Bay's strikeout was the Mets' only one of the game, at the worst possible time and looking as bad as he could look.

Apparently the 7 was also the number of tickets they made available at this price as they were gone instantly. While it was a large crowd tonight there were still tons of empty seats that they Mets did not price at $10.

Gwreck Jul 19 2011 09:01 PM Re: IGT, 7/19/2011, Cardinalia vs. Metropolitana

The emergency catcher was Nick Evans, who came out to warm up Parnell in the 8th. He had a mask on but still, I'm not sure I'd want my debut catching experience to include catching Parnell's fastballs. When Murphy lined out to short in the 5th with the bases loaded he took off his helmet and held it over his face as he proceeded to let loose a long string of expletives. The helmet went flying when he returned to the dugout as well. If this is Beltran's swan song for the Mets it's not a bad way to go out. I'd like to see him crack one more homer.

Edgy DC Jul 20 2011 05:13 AM Re: IGT, 7/19/2011, Cardinalia vs. Metropolitana

The Mets also jumped Washington, into fifth place in the Wild Card standings, gaining a game on first-place Atlanta (*.5 back) and gaining four games net. They're two behind this St. Louis team, in fact. Also notable is that Texas, since the Mets went down there and made them look silly, has been a juggernaut. They're the hottest team in the majors and have now won 12 in a row. They're now 4.5 up on Cleveland and not looking back.
