IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Edgy DC Jul 20 2011 10:24 PM

Jake Westbrook takes on Jon Niese. Westbrook is the back end of the Cards' rotation. LaRussa tends to give him the quick hook, even when he's pitching well. Hopefully we've taxed the Cards' bullpen enough in the first two games to make that a problematic choice. He's another righty, which I guess I'm pretty thankful for these days. Stay patient and he's beatable. Let's go, Mets!

Gay dame...starts at 12:20.

Ashie62 Jul 21 2011 06:04 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

I want to see a very long run of I.G.T's by Edgy..

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2011 06:11 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

starts at 12:20. 12:10, I believe, is the actual first-pitch time. Hmmm, noon start ... temps nearing the century mark ... sounds like this game is the spiritual descendent, even if not quite on the anniversary of, the original MoFo gathering in the picnic area now almost one decade in the rear view mirror. I believe that day remains the last time NYC actually went over the 100-degree mark (actual temp, not these silly inflated "heat indexes" the geeks on TV conjure up) as it was a balmy 104 in the shade that afternoon (and there weren't no shade).

Edgy DC Jul 21 2011 06:31 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

I seem to remember the lineup shifting so much that day that there were three or four leftfielders. Lucas Duda = Mark Johnson. The big moose that the team will send out there to wilt in order to spare the valuables.

TransMonk Jul 21 2011 07:35 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

12:10...I'm an idiot. 11:10 for me. I guess I'll take a late lunch.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2011 07:41 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Three leftfielders.

Wearing the black jerseys today would be a mistake.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 21 2011 08:05 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

I hope there's some kind of cooling mechanism inside of Mr. Met's oversized head.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 21 2011 09:28 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Yeah, Bay says he tweaked something the other day and it got worse. Hey Pridie, don't be ashamed to hit some of those 3-run homers you were giving us back in April.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2011 10:12 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Niese's victims: Punto Jay Pujols Holliday Berkman Freese Molina Descalso Westbrook Ryan Theriot had his suspension reduced from two games to one and will serve it today - so the Cards roster is down a man

attgig Jul 21 2011 10:32 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

i hate pujols... maybe the mets can sign him in the offseason :)

attgig Jul 21 2011 10:38 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

keith talking it up that there's bad blood between cards and mets. pujols apparently said something mean to paulino after his hr. and now, they're saying something's up cuz pagan and molina aren't talking even though they're friends that go way back. they're saying it's because pagan threw his bat and 'showed up' the cards after the hr. i think the cards are a little sensitive...

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 21 2011 10:39 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

It's okay. In just a few short hours, they're returning to the comforting arms and soft mouths of The Best Fans In BaseballTM. Looking pretty sinkerprone today, Metsies.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2011 10:41 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

As mentioned in the KTE, teams managed by Tony LaRussa can get pretty annoying pretty easily. Wouldn't surprise me if they were taking that tack that if you can't beat 'em on the field then bug the shit out of them.

TransMonk Jul 21 2011 10:46 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Hard to forget the Pujols dissing during the 2006 NLCS. And the team's Jose, Jose mock during their celebration. Pujols is a turd.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 21 2011 10:52 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Looper was the a-hole who started in with the chant mockery, IIRC. Y'know, the Braden Looper who played with and shared a clubhouse with Jose for two seasons? Nice guy. Hell of a chin.

Ashie62 Jul 21 2011 10:54 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Bunch of pussy millionaire ballplayers whining. Now stop making Westbrook look good!

Pooholes' dong notwithstanding, Niese is pretty much handling the big boys. It's the little five-foot-eight MAXIMUMEFFORT guys who are killing here.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2011 11:17 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Basically it was an inning with just one semi-hard hit ball but Niese's biggest mistake was the walk to the pitcher. After that it was just weak grounders with errors tacked on. Now we just got to quit hitting dinky grounders off of Westbrook.

Ashie62 Jul 21 2011 11:37 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

If you can't pounce on a pitcher like Westbrook, and you can't beat on team on the road in a nooner in extreme heat you are having a very very bad day.

Ashie62 Jul 21 2011 11:41 AM Re: IGT, 7/21/2011, Cards @ Mets Day Game

Carlos grounds out in what could be his last at bat as a Met.

Nobody knows extreme heat as well as those who play their home games in St. Louis.

Here's the exact quote: Ron: Best all-around outfielder to ever play, to ever wear that Mets uniform. Gary: And I think you can say that unequivocally. Okay, Ron did say "all-around" so I guess he was including offense as well as defense. Darryl or Carlos? I wouldn't say it's "unequivocal"; more of a toss-up.

Sat in natural light listening to today's game on a pocket radio, which is to say was experiencing a Met-like power outage. Electricity came on after Beltran's last at-bat. Not sure what to make of the symbolism.
