"Mike" Nickeas. As in, "the Mets activated Josh Thole and sent Mike Nickeas to Buffalo, keeping Rob Johnson as the backup catcher."

Sounds like a perfect day Ceetar... bring home a win.

BIG Ka-Boom for Hairston! 3-0 Mets.

Nymr83 May 26 2012 11:30 AM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

RUN SUPPORT! Now let's chase Richard and tire out their bullpen!

themetfairy May 26 2012 11:31 AM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

And Rottino's first Major League homer makes the lead 4-0!

Benjamin Grimm May 26 2012 11:32 AM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Two homers in one inning? May is no longer looking so homerless.

Nymr83 May 26 2012 11:32 AM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Get that baseball back! Vinny Rotino's first major league homerun!

Ashie62 May 26 2012 11:39 AM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Just tuned in....awesome!

Frayed Knot May 26 2012 11:42 AM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Stacking the lineup with righties pays off early. Now we just need Johan to NOT give up another four run lead and we'll be OK.

Edgy MD May 26 2012 11:45 AM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

What could I possibly miss if I don't see the first inning?

The Second Spitter May 26 2012 11:47 AM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Who is the catcher for the Mets in this game?

That first was nice. But will someone pay the bill, so ConEd or somebody will turn the power back on?

Seventy seven pitches through seven. Remember how awesome it was when a pitcher was getting the job done, and he came up in the eighth or ninth, and the crowd rose and gave him a standing ovation, and whether or not he acquitted himself well at the plate, that ovation seemingly bouyed him when he came out in the ninth and reached back for a little extra to finish the game. Let's see some of that shit today.

Edgy MD May 26 2012 12:55 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

There we go!

Edgy MD May 26 2012 01:00 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

One pitch, one out.

Edgy MD May 26 2012 01:01 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Four pitches, two outs. So far he has 65 strikes and 16 balls.

Edgy MD May 26 2012 01:04 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Gets his seventh strikeout, and has 87 pitches through eight. Brilliant, Johan, now finish this.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 26 2012 01:11 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

IKE!

Edgy MD May 26 2012 01:13 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Four-game hitting streak and over .170!

Frayed Knot May 26 2012 01:13 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

There's my Davis double -- my prediction was right, only about 18 hours too early. On the other hand, Ike has swung at each of the last four pitches he's seen. Maybe that's a good thing, I dunno.

Nymr83 May 26 2012 01:15 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Edgy MD May 26 2012 01:16 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Why not? We're up 5-0 in the ninth and playing for first. Or second and third, anyway. Which alignment do you use in the ninth? Send Nieuenhuis out to left? Send Ike to first and send Rottino to left? Send Ike to first and send Nieuenhuis to left? Send Ike to first and send Rottino to right and Nieuenhuis to left? And Santana pitches, right? RIGHT?!

Edgy MD May 26 2012 01:20 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Nickeas up with the bags juiced. I wonder if he was given orders to swing at the first pitch and spare Santana the delay and the trip to the plate.

Frayed Knot May 26 2012 01:20 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

I'd just put Ike at 1st and slide Rottino out to LF. No need to make wholesale changes for sake of your best defensive lineup - particularly because Nickeas is about to bust this thing open. And, yes, Santana pitches.

Edgy MD May 26 2012 01:21 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Nymr83 May 26 2012 01:22 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

The longer this inning goes the more likely we DON'T see Santana... Remember he's coming off the surgery and its 5-0, I'd be ok with mop-up man here.

themetfairy May 26 2012 01:22 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Grand Slam Nickeas!

Frayed Knot May 26 2012 01:23 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

A Slammer AND a 3R HR in the same game?!?!?! I wasn't sure that was even permitted with this bunch!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 26 2012 01:23 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Yes, but he was visualizing a bunt.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 26 2012 01:23 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Thayer it goes! Darn lucky Mets and those unsustainable two-out runs...

The monkey that fell of Nickeas' back now running wild through Elmhurst.

Thayer is only good in save situations. Black is clearly mis-using him.

Nymr83 May 26 2012 01:26 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

The radio feed from the mlb blackberry app is a minute or two behind, I saw Edgy's big "holy crap" while they were having the trainer look at Cedeno. HOLY CRAP!

The sweet and sexy old 4-4-3 doubleplay pulled off by Murphy.

That's defensive substitute Murphy to you.

Nymr83 May 26 2012 01:29 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Wow Santana is under 90 pitches! Run differential fixed!

Johan's position as he stood there waiting for the runner to end the game was fantastic.

metirish May 26 2012 01:38 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Not even a hundred pitches for the great Santana......

Let's see some of that shit today. oh, there was a ton of that today. 4PA day for Santana. he clearly was not going to swing in the 9th. was a fun day indeed. Santana actually hit 90-91 a couple of times too, and was just cruising. I think there was one hard hit ball that Duda caught at the track and that was it. a ton of soft crappily awesome contact. You could smell the CG in the 5th. Very good day indeed, and Wright didn't even get a hit (although a 390 foot out) aside, really really nice hand for Ike Davis when he was announced and even greater after the hit. Love that Mets fans are supporting him.

Edgy MD May 26 2012 04:26 PM Re: IGT 5/26/12: Sunny Day Game vs Padres

Yeah, and definite credit to Sandy and Terry and his teammates for working with him and supporting him, giving the fans a cue. I can certainly hope that the support would be the same if his name was Ike Diaz, but...

Crowd was jovial in general. didn't boo Nickeas or Turner (hell, didn't even boo the Padres) even though maybe they had reason to. But it was a low stress game right from the get go so that make things easier too.
