Exciting! Jason Bay, back tomorrow night. I assume that Valdespin will be sent down.

Edgy MD Jun 04 2012 09:08 AM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

I think they 'd sooner farm out Sateen than Valdespeen, as sending down Jordany leaves Joshie as our backup shortstop.

Nymr83 Jun 04 2012 10:56 AM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

Come on Dillon Gee! Nymr83 needs another no-no! So I got to the office this morning and remembered that half my office went to the game friday night. I declined as I was headed to AC. Gambling is bad for you, even if you win, because now I'm just jealous!

Fun Fact: Kyle Lohse is an American Indian. Unfun Fact: I conflate him with Jeff Suppan.

seawolf17 Jun 04 2012 12:15 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

This is now two games in a row where they've given up a run. Suddenly I'm really worried about the pitching staff.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 04 2012 12:21 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

Four game sweeps with a no hitter in 'em? Rarer. Quintanilla's got more than a little Jose Valentin in that mug/mien. (More than a little Pitbull-- dale!-- too, but I prefer to think of him the other way.)

This has the smell of a late-inning bullpen gift to the Redbirds, though.

Another run scored, but I like that Terry has stuck with Gee so far.

Gee can't field. But he sure can pitch.

This coulda been worse, you babies. Two big whiffs by Gee.

TransMonk Jun 04 2012 12:49 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

I'm glad he got to clean up his own mess. Now we need 3 more runs and some scoreless frames by the bullpen.

Ceetar Jun 04 2012 12:49 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

still a third of the game left for the Mets. 3+ runs? no sweat!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 04 2012 12:51 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

God, it's been a while since we had a pitcher who used the up-and-in fastball effectively and consistently. I'm not sure anymore that Gee is the guy who surrenders his spot when one or more of the young'uns crash this pitching party.

I think a surfeit of talent is a problem that takes care of itself. Meanwhile, tying run at plate. His name be Duda.

Just back from a meeting. First base open, Quintinilla on deck, and Matheny let a lefty pitch to Hairston?

Enough with this shitty bullpen! Let just bolt the bullpen door shut with all the relievers locked inside. Tell Dickey he is going 9 every time out and also relieving anyone who can't. Its Knuckleball time!

Now you know why Santana was refusing to come out of the game on Friday night... No-hitter? Hell, he was trying to hold on to the win.

TransMonk Jun 04 2012 01:20 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

The offense continues to battle. A base hit away from tying it up.

Nymr83 Jun 04 2012 01:20 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

Huge double for Niewenhuis, come on Torres!! Motte up in the bullpen I'm sure for Wright

Nymr83 Jun 04 2012 01:22 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

Torres at least gets a run in and here comes Motte to fave Wright with the tying run at 3rd.... I'd love to see a balk or wild-pitch right away to take the pressure off :)

Gwreck Jun 04 2012 01:22 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

Needed a hit there from Torres, not a sac fly. Now David just needs to hit a two-run homer.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 04 2012 01:29 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

Sometimes, David eats the b'ar. Sometimes, the b'ar gets David to line right to an outfielder.

Nice move by Matheny to bring in his top reliever in the 8th inning with the tying run on third w 2 outs and Wright and possibly Duda due up.

Edgy MD Jun 04 2012 01:42 PM Re: IGT 6/4/12 - Mets v. Cardinals

Two guys left on the bench. Valdy becomes the pinch-runner maybe if one of our umberhulks gets on base. So this may all come down to Satin.
