IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

G-Fafif Sep 21 2011 04:15 PM

First of eight in a row that will prevent the Mets' third consecutive losing season. And to do it, here are the fellows who will take on Jaime Garcia, the starter from the last Mets' victory at Busch Stadium: Jose Reyes - SS Angel Pagan - CF David Wright - 3B Lucas Duda - RF Nick Evans - 1B Willie Harris - LF Ronny Paulino - C Justin Turner - 2B Chris Schwinden - RHP

Win With Schwin!

FYI, the seventh-most recent Mets win at Busch Stadium was Game 4 of the 2006 NLCS.

If memory serves, we also swept the season-opening series in St. Louis in 2007, which means we won 3 out of 9 games in St. Louis in the '08-'10 seasons.

It's the 2nd inning and this team has already embarrassed itself several times over.

Ashie62 Sep 21 2011 06:58 PM Re: IGT - 9/21 in StL

At this point does it really matter. They suck..Bay out with a cold?

Edgy DC Sep 21 2011 07:36 PM Re: IGT - 9/21 in StL

Well, does it ever matter? I don't know who is watching, but whatever career Schwinden has was saved by DJ Willie Harris tonight, making a diving, bases-loaded, two-out catch to stop the Cards from breaking it open after it was already 3-0. The Mets came back and know lead 4-3.

Ashie62 Sep 21 2011 07:38 PM Re: IGT - 9/21 in StL

I did see Josh Satin crush a ball..

Ceetar Sep 21 2011 07:40 PM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

lots of unearneds in this one.

Ashie62 Sep 21 2011 07:40 PM Re: IGT - 9/21 in StL

Hey..I'm just waiting for Ceetar so I can send him to the red light forum once..

Ashie62 Sep 21 2011 07:48 PM Re: IGT - 9/21 in StL

Its a quality start for Scwinden!

Edgy DC Sep 21 2011 07:49 PM Re: IGT - 9/21 in StL

I-Go-Schwinden-in-Water makes it through six, which I wouldn't have bet on early. He owes Harris some chocolates.

Cut it out. Schwinden is out. Booishness.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2011 08:02 PM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

Oh, man. Terry's over-playing the matchup game himself.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2011 08:06 PM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

And if you're scoring at home --- and I hope you are --- Herrera exits after one pitch.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 21 2011 08:09 PM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

not.

bmfc1 Sep 21 2011 08:11 PM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

Terry continues to over-manage. I thought that Beato had a tired arm.

Ceetar Sep 21 2011 08:12 PM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

Oh Beato.. paving the way for a spot in the minors next year..?

Edgy DC Sep 21 2011 08:17 PM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

Two out, nobody on, Wright up, and LaRussa double-switches. For fuck's sake.

Willie Kaboom Harris. Send your five defensive replacements after that ball, Tony.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2011 10:00 PM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

What shouldn't have happened is that Terry shouldn't have panic-pulled Batista in the seventh with two out and a guy on first. Enough.

Fman99 Sep 22 2011 04:40 AM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

I've missed every pitch of the last two games. And yet I haven't missed them.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2011 05:51 AM Re: IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

Well, what you've missed is that Collins is trying to address his bullpen's failures by stretching them --- looking to use five or six guys to get three innings out of, rather than three (or two! or one!). All it's gotten him is a greater likelihood of the game being in the hands of that one guy who's got nothing but a serving platter that night, plus more tired pitchers the next day.
