Last time Miami played in Flushing, Dan Marino was a rookie.

Wtf Mets

Kirk Nieuwenhuis – CF Ruben Tejada – SS Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Lucas Duda – RF Ike Davis – 1B Mike Baxter – LF Josh Thole – C Johan Santana – LHP

<-------- I rank as Jose Reyes today. how fitting.

metirish Apr 24 2012 01:15 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

Would like to swap Davis and Thole.

metirish Apr 24 2012 01:18 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

I would hit Thole behind Murphy too....

Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2012 01:24 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

Days like yesterday make me think, "Ugh! They have to play again tonight?!?" Not feeling at all motivated to watch.

New team in town. New light. New life. New Mets in uniform. It's gonna be great. OE: Or, if you're of a mind, Reyes in town means new reasons to bitch. New injuries. New opportunities for Ike to fail. YEAH!

Weak greeting. But then, there are approximately 300 people in the lower basin. Stronger response by Nieuwenhuis, there.

TransMonk Apr 24 2012 05:22 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

Well, that was underwhelming. Nice play by Kirk and Johan looks better than he did last time.

Whatever it is in the Met lineup that brings formerly-dominant, currently-struggling pitchers back to vitality, they should bottle. Perhaps the proceeds will help them, y'know, sign some pitching.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2012 05:56 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

Iassogna, Bucknor... this should be a FUN series, umpwise.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2012 06:12 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

So Josh Johnson's all like, "BOO," and Johan's all, "What, what?" And then Johnson's all "Suck it," and Johan's all, "Na-ah, YOU suck it." And Johnson's like, "Oh, yeah, take THAT," and Johan's all, "I eat that for breakfast with cafe con leche, bub." So what I'm saying is, it's a pitcher's duel.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2012 06:46 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

11 through 6, with just three baserunners (1 H, 2 BB). Johnson almost as good. Grimm, friend... you're missing yourself a bawwgame.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 24 2012 06:46 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

I like that Muffy's getting thrown out at home allowed us to get an extra clueless turn at the plate by Davis. I can't remember the last time a Met looked so lost at the plate. And I've seen a lotta struggling hitters!

Fman99 Apr 24 2012 06:50 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

Nothing but respect for JJ tonight. He and Santana are putting on a pitching clinic.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2012 06:56 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

That slider's just obscene tonight. And Johan's fastball/change mixwork has been almost as nasty.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 24 2012 06:57 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

Get that piece of shit Baxter off the team.

Santana's nuthin' but bad luck. 'Cause whenever he pitches, the Mets can't buy a run. On another note, it looks like SNY enhanced their ball strike display. It's readable now. I bet lotsa viewers were complaining.

Yeah, Santana picking right up where he left off with the no run support since joining the Mets.

There have been some nice defensive plays by the Metsies tonight, It would be a shame if they had to lose the game on not being able to make the play. C'mon, offense.

Mets don't field well enough to win pitching duels, it's just how it's going to be.

I think Lutz and Valdespin need to rub off on each other a little more.

I'm glad they spent so much time in ST practicing bunts. If Kirk N. is on 2d, that's a run.

On MLB.TV, the SNY feed doesn't follow the network back to studio updates...during the last throwback to the studio after Valdespin nervously caught that popup, Keith said, "C'mon...this is the big leagues!"

Gwreck Apr 24 2012 08:26 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

Big win. Mets don't win a lot of these Santana-Johnson duels. Lots of shameful, shameful behavior from Mets fans tonight (towards Reyes) but I guess that's to be (sadly) expected. Many fans were applauding despite the pervasive booing. Tribute video had lots of short clips but none of the big identifiable moments (cycle, inside the park HR vs the Dodgers, NLCS game 6 leadoff homer, etc.) As for the game: Rauch is a stud. Nieuwenhuis has wheels, both in the OF and going first to third. Lutz looked lost at the plate. Big Iassogna strike zone certainly helped rack up the Ks for both Johan and Johnson but it was still a treat to see such a well pitched game.

Ceetar Apr 24 2012 09:15 PM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

that's three games in a row with a new Mets debut. I bet we (and I!) get another tomorrow with Carson, but hey, maybe we get a complete game shutout from Dickey instead.

TransMonk Apr 25 2012 08:07 AM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

The announced attendance was 20,192, the smallest of the season at Citi Field. I'm surprised at this figure for Reyes' return.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 25 2012 08:10 AM Re: IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

If the playoffs started today, the Mets would still be alive. They'd play a one-game eliminator against the Giants (home team determined by coin flip); winning team to fly to Atlanta to play the Braves in the one-game Wild card qualifier game.
