Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2011 01:13 PM

I figured a Mets/Braves game in September needs an IGT ... even when one team is out of it, and even during a depressing losing streak, and even on a football Sunday. * Gee got down 1-0 - on an RBI hit by Chipper natch. * Beachy, hurling for 'Lanta, was striking out a ton but the Mets touched him for 4 in the 4th anyway. They IW'd Turner hitting 8th to load the bases w/2 outs ... then UNintentionally walked Gee for one run before Tejada sent 'em all home with a double. * Then the NYM defense decided to give some back as questionable plays by Turner, Tejada, and Pridie in CF (only Pridie's was an error) followed an Alex Gonzalez HR and helped re-tie the game. 4-4 Top 5 - although as I type this a couple of singles tacked on to a high pitch-count just chased Beachy.

Sloppy defense sure seems contagious, doesn't it? Justin Turner makes a misplay as I type.

Walks all over today. Herrera just inherited a batter 0-2 and walked him.

Howie with the day off, too much Wayne for my likin'

Wayne Hagin: "The last screwball pitcher I can recall who threw it with any success was Mike Norris with the A's in 1980." There was that Valenzuela guy.

This was the guy who announced "coming into the game is ex-Detroit Tiger Octavio Dotel". No Mets soul. Later

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:15 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Down by one, first and third, two outs, after a groundout by Reyes.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:17 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Bases loaded now for Paulino.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:18 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

S'moly crap. He walks him. The Mets have a new offensive weapon: the bases-loaded walk.

metirish Sep 18 2011 02:19 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Best AB of the year for Paulino, he didn't move his bar of his shoulder , tied game, Vinters can't throw a strike.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:20 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Mets take the lead on a single by Tejada, but now we go to the bottom of the inning after Turner gets tagged at the plate. When was our last save situation?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 18 2011 02:21 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Tejada's really had a great game. Even his outs were thoughtfully made.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:23 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Parnell gets the eighth inning. And they get the first out on a nice play by Tejada as I'm wondering why Reyes wasn't kept in for defense. Why wasn't Reyes wasn't kept in for defense?

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:28 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

I'm Bobby Parnell. I dig holes.

metirish Sep 18 2011 02:29 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Gary with some faint praise of Parnell's fastball , "it's not an electric fastball even though it's 100mph", " not intimidating", not going over the plate now either.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:31 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Homina, homina.

metirish Sep 18 2011 02:33 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

If the Braves had moved the fences in that was a goner..idiots

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:37 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Yet we escape behind Acosta. Leave him in to start the ninth.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 18 2011 02:43 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

DooDoo!

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:44 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Homer to center by Duda. Hope this second half by Lucas isn't a flukas.

EFF You Kimbrel !!

Heyward has three hits today and all of them are pieces de shit.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:51 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Seventeenth walk of the game.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2011 02:52 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

That's at least the third Bang-Bang call at 1st and we haven't gotten any of them. Deserved at least one.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2011 02:54 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Strange game. The Braves half gave it to the Mets, but the Mets had the wherewithal to take it.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2011 02:54 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

The Prado wears Devil (horns, that is, as he makes the last out)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 18 2011 02:54 PM Re: Late IGT - 9/18 Mets @ Braves

Nice. I've said this before but for a team that's having a relatively easy route to the playoffs I am not much impressed with the Braves. We split the season series 9-9 and ought to have done better than that.
