IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Mets – Willets Point Jun 24 2012 10:40 PM

The Mets return to real baseball with a night game at Wrigley Field which is still kind of weird after 25 years but fuck it, a new day, a new game, this is a turning point for the Mets. Our Team Our Time. We Believe In Comebacks. The Magic is Back. Ya Gotta Believe! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrr!!!! Johan "Hey, I'm Still Pretty Good" Santana starts for the Mets against the Cubs' Travis "No Relation to Kerry" Wood.

Time to knock on Wood. Later

Reduce them to tears.

Just have to look at that lineup to know that this Travis Wood guy is a lefty [looking up his stats] His 33 hits in 41 IPs so far this season is a good ratio. His 19 BBs over the same span not so much and hopefully that plays into this lineup's strength. We faced him once when he was with Cincy in 2010 - got him for 5 runs (3 earned) over 4-2/3. Wright had a single and triple in 3 ABs On the other hand, he stroked an RBI triple off Pelfrey (the 2nd of back-to-back 3Bs) as part of a 6-run 5th and the Reds went on to win the game. Wood though got rocked in the bottom of the 5th and didn't last the inning so didn't get the win.

Absolutely loving Wood's mullet and beard combo, he's straight out of 1989.

TransMonk Jun 25 2012 06:26 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

The NY road greys and blue caps look exceptionally good at Wrigley.

Jeeze Wright makes that tuff play look easy and routine.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 25 2012 06:37 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Whoa check out Wood's helmet!

Mets – Willets Point Jun 25 2012 06:38 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

That's a really crooked C.

Mets – Willets Point Jun 25 2012 06:42 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

It's a good thing that Wood didn't get a hit or the whole team would want to wear a crooked logo on their helmets.

Zvon Jun 25 2012 06:58 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Nothing notable will happen until we get this IGT to page two. Lets go!

Mets – Willets Point Jun 25 2012 07:00 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Wright doesn't get his daily hit in his second at-bat.

Mets – Willets Point Jun 25 2012 07:03 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Pitchin' duel.

Johan keeps his helmet logo affixed correctly.

Looks like the airline may have lost the Mets' bats.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 25 2012 07:29 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

We're making Travis look like Kerry, circa 1998. Other than Wright, there is no one who's shown the ability to drive the ball on a halfway consistent basis. I'd say they should start lifting weights but I'm sure that would lead to more injuries.

Zvon Jun 25 2012 07:30 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Well, Johan sure imitated an All-Star pitcher nicely by getting out of that sixth-inning jam. Sure would like to give him support.

Nickeas our last hope in the seventh. Has a dubble already. Base hit. Turner... I apologize for everything I ever said.

How often do you see two three base errors in one inning???

Zvon Jun 25 2012 08:11 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Two three base errors in one inning. Mind boggling.

Holy fuck. Another error?

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2012 08:12 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

As soon as those pops were hit they didn't look good. I was about 65% sure that first one wasn't being caught and about 95% on the one to Duda Even when Rauch pitches well the results suck.

TransMonk Jun 25 2012 08:13 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Which one of these teams is the worst in the league?

Two runs down or four runs ... it hardly matters tonight.

Where's Ray Knight when you need him. Need a little Knight decks Davis to wake the boys up. I'd love to see what kind of actual fight these guys have in them. Lack-a-fucking-dazical.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2012 08:16 PM Re: IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

Terry had to take Rauch out there, I think he was up over 100 pitches for the night despite his no-hit stuff.

Hey, unlike Duda, at least Cedeno's doing something with the bat to make up for his glovework.

I hadn't heard anything but Gary and Ron keep talking about how Collins predicted a letdown tonight. Maybe after a good night's sleep they'll be ready to play tomorrow.

"It's like 1962 out there. And how fitting that Ralph Kiner is in the booth tonight, as he's the only man I know who has seen the like of this inning." "No, Keith, I can't say as I have." "Well, if not the old Mets, surely some of those old Pirate tea..." "Nope."

It's gotten to where I simply expect strikeouts from Davis & Nieuwenhuis and am surprised otherwise.
