I'm sitting in the parking lot drinking beer and waiting for this to start.

Stay there and keep drinking. You might be better off.

DUDA! Again. How many times this year has he come through like that?

bmfc1 Aug 21 2011 01:07 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

On Sandy's "to do" list for next year has got to be having a better lefty PH than Harris.

Gwreck Aug 21 2011 01:10 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

Hey, look! We hit a big homerun and then issue a leadoff walk to the opposition to start the next inning.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2011 01:11 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

WTF is it with walks in front of Braun & Fielder?!? That's like at least 4 this series and Braun didn't essentially play in Friday's game.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2011 01:13 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

And not that the Brewers haven't had their share of HRs this weekend ... but they've also had some of the cheapest-looking singles in the world.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2011 01:13 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

shit_ass bunt by Thole there ruined the inning.

Gwreck Aug 21 2011 01:16 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

Just miserable.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2011 01:18 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

This is what I'm talking about: the Brews have a run in, two runners on, no outs, we're on our third pitcher of the inning ... and they haven't hit a ball solidly yet! Yesterday's 9th inning was essentially the same thing.

This team blows..put Timmy in!

mlb.tv kept the audio on for an extra few seconds so we heard Gary begin a second with "The worst...." I wonder how he finished it? "The worst stretch of Mets baseball I've ever seen"?

Ashie62 Aug 21 2011 01:20 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

Brewers-very good team..

Gwreck Aug 21 2011 01:21 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

They had better play this well against the Braves and Philies in the playoffs.

So the key to the game was Tejada's intentional walk because that took Dickey out of the game.

Why do they even bother to come back in these games? Which circle of Dante's hell does this torture best fit?

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2011 01:43 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

Leadoff walks and leadoff hits given up to (the now 41 y/o) Craig Counsell are pretty much the same thing. Guy was Oh-for-the-summer until he showed up here and now this staff can't get him out.

Fuck these guys in their August-holes.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2011 10:19 PM Re: 8_21 IGT: Brewers at Mets

Let me just say, about the game: Sad. 1) I called the Duda HR 2) Bay really killed the ball on his double 3) That bunt was a shit idea and badly executed No one was surprised at what happened after that. Went to try the run around the bases with Lunchpail afterward but along with the last hundred or so people in line, got fucked when the rain started and they turned us away. We'd by that point walked in line from underneath the subway platform to just at the bullpen gates. They tried to sell it to us as a safety issue "Lightning!" they kept saying, and I understood (so did Lunchpail who was disappointed but not especially so). One dad was acting like a complete dick and it was sad. But here's the thing that made it uniquely Mets: In the milling about inside (after Pissed Off Dad made a scene they acted as though they might re-start the event if the rain stopped - hah) I had to use the mens room, and they sent me upstairs to the men's room on the concourse between Catch of the Day and World's Fare. By the time I came down they'd decided enough rain had fallen and so they'd be canceling the rest of the Dash. So we'd stay dry and not get struck by lightning, I tried to lead the fam back up stairs where I'd been a moment before so as to walk the perimeter under cover and get to the subway faster, the same Security Douchebags who'd just sent me up there to pee and were concerned that if we'd go outside we'd be struck dead by lightning, acted as though the area was roped off and closed and ordered us outside into the rain with a longer walk to the subway. Fuck you, Mets.
