Frayed Knot Sep 03 2011 02:47 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

I see Paulino going to give the toe a go. Did we ever get word on the conditions of the hands/wrists of Tejada & Thole?

The rare Saturday night game not on WPIX. Yay for me! Boo for Ian Desmond though, 1-0 Nats.

Fman99 Sep 03 2011 05:22 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Great tag there by Turner to get Zimmerman stealing.

Fman99 Sep 03 2011 05:38 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Meh. Gee looks shaky out there.

Fman99 Sep 03 2011 05:39 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Fucking hell. A three run homer to the pitcher, on his first pitch as a big leaguer. FUCKFUCKFUCK.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2011 06:18 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Oh, yeah-- we can hit! I'd forgotten for a few innings there.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2011 06:26 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Holyshitdon'thurtyourselforanyoneelse... and nice Baycatch out of the near collision. Phe-ew.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2011 06:37 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Polite crowd. I mean, I know he hit the dong and all, but that's a hell of an ovation for a guy giving up four runs in less than five innings.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2011 07:00 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Bay ties it! Why didn't I go tonight?!

Fman99 Sep 03 2011 07:00 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Bay picks a good time to break an 0 for 37 road streak with the KABOOM. Brand new game, 6-6.

I missed a bit before that but did they say Valdespin did something stupid?

MAJOR kudos there to the Mullmet for the inning ending GIDP.

Got his MO-JO workin', yes? John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I missed a bit before that but did they say Valdespin did something stupid? Not sure. I think they were just discussing him in light of his not being promoted/general path through the organization. Kudos to Keith for not selling the easy-moralizing angle Gary was peddling, as regards Milledge and other "bad eggs" in the prior regime's fold. (G-- "You had all those attitude problems. All those antics... I mean, all the talent in the world to play major-league baseball. And he's out of a job. He's not a major leaguer. He's not a major league ballplayer." K-- "Yeah. Because he can't hit. He can't play.")

Ceetar Sep 03 2011 07:23 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

yeah, Keith certainly doesn't sugar coat much. He was still killing the fish defense yesterday.

My first name? It ain't "Stop Walking People and Giving Up Bombs, A-hole." It's Manny. Mr. Acosta, if you're nasty... like me.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2011 07:52 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Suddenly our best reliever and being sent out for a rare --- at least rare for Terry Collins when trying to seal up a win --- second inning.

Espinosa is a Dirtbag.

Gary's external response was actually four or five seconds of awkward silence. But you knew what he was thinking. Ye Gods. Manny Acosta may never give up another hit.

I'm Manny Fucking Acosta dudes!!

Edgy DC Sep 03 2011 08:06 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Well, they have a silencer button for Gary's actual response. Keith once actually said, on reviewing video of a player with a big leg kick in his swing, "Wow! His cock is bigger than Darryl's!" That was followed by about 10 long seconds of dead air. Five whiffs in two innings for Acosta, and props to Terry for riding him out.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2011 08:07 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

There's something more than a little Scarface-y about Acosta's sneer after an inning-ending K, is there not?

Edgy DC Sep 03 2011 08:16 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Parnell gives up a leadoff hit. And not to get away from this game, but I'm starting another Acosta thread.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2011 08:19 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Did anyone ever figure out why they traded for Johnny Gomes?

Walking Bernadino to get to Zimmerman.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2011 08:24 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Terry Collins doubling down with the intentional walk here.

Frayed Knot Sep 03 2011 08:24 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

This is not looking good. Not only is it Zimmerman but Parnell HAS TO throw him strikes.

That slider's looking so hittable, too.

What a cheapie.

metirish Sep 03 2011 08:27 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Broken bat two run single to win it..Duda with an effort but he never looked like catching it.

Frayed Knot Sep 03 2011 08:27 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Wow, was Duda too deep considering a single beats you there?

Edgy DC Sep 03 2011 08:29 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Yeah, Mookie Wilson needs to look into his soul. If we get around to making any more callups, maybe another outfielder to help out in defensive situations.

Fman99 Sep 03 2011 08:31 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Frayed Knot Sep 04 2011 08:23 AM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

The other thing to talk about was the Reyes 7th inning sac bunt. On the one hand you can say that it "worked" because the runner bunted over came in for the go-ahead run. On the other the one thing a sac bunt does even if successful is cut down on the big innings and that 'one-and-only-one run strategy wasn't enough in the end. I didn't like it at the time and still don't. btw, that was the second time this year we've lost to the Nats on a cheapie walk-off single. July 31st was the other where an Ian Desmond broken bat dribbler beat us after Hairston had tied up in the top of the 9th with a 2-out solo shot off Drew Storen. Both losses came off Parnell -- both started with a Jesus Flores lead-off single -- both involved a wild-pitch -- both hits came with just one out -- both negated earlier NYM comebacks

The league's leading hitter is up so why are you bunting? Give him a shot to hit one into the gap. Bad managing there. As for the "btw"--I was at each of those so Parnell is not my favorite Met at the moment.

Don 't forget about all the runs Gee allowed, including the three run homer to the Nats debuting pitcher. Gee doesn't get off the hook in the blame game just because the Mets tied the game and then took the lead. And as for Terry Collins, he may have control of the locker room in a good way, but he's still a cuntbunter. Ordering the league's leading hitter to make an out just before your best mashers are due up: moronic.

Edgy DC Sep 04 2011 02:34 PM Re: I.G.T Mets @ Gnats 9/3/2011 Gee Whiz!

Johnny Gomes, 0-33 as a pinch-hitter and we walked him.
