IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 19 2012 08:49 PM

Because of Scoscia. Because of Gibson and his stolen MVP. Because we're coming back Home. Because of Lasorda. Because even though this road trip felt like a season-ender, It's Not Over. Because if you're looking for a time to turn things around... What About Now? Because What I Want is for Kemp and Co. to feel just as Crashed out as they did the first time around. Because, if you recognize these song titles, you'll enjoy the postgame show so much more as a celebration than as a sop.

G-Fafif Jul 20 2012 04:46 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Ruben Tejada – SS Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Ike Davis – 1B Lucas Duda – RF Jason Bay – LF Andres Torres – CF Josh Thole – C Johan Santana – LHP

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 20 2012 05:04 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Sure does look a lot... fuller a lineup than the last time, no? B. Abreu, LF M. Ellis, 2B M. Kemp, CF A. Ethier, RF J. Rivera, 1B J. Hairston Jr., 3B L. Cruz, SS M. Treanor, C A. Harang, P

themetfairy Jul 20 2012 05:20 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Johan doesn't have it this evening. 2-0 Dodgers, and only one out in the top of the first.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 20 2012 05:26 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Kemp and Ethier hit him hard. If anyone else does tonight, it's coy-tins.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 20 2012 05:30 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Johan was totally Daughtry that inning.

Zvon Jul 20 2012 05:34 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Ha! Abreu sucks. Nice rip Danny boy. And Wrights sac to left puts us on the board!

The Second Spitter Jul 20 2012 05:35 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Johan's been leakier than a long-distance runner after dining at an Indian Restaurant the night before. With Batista starting tomorrow except some lost limbs in the bullpen this series.

Zvon Jul 20 2012 05:35 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Sac city. That's 2.

Nymr83 Jul 20 2012 05:36 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Wright and Davis hit back-to-back Yankee Stadium Homers* and the Mets are back in it, 3-2! *sac flies in a real field

Zvon Jul 20 2012 05:46 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Not enough Met fans there to drown out those "Lets go Dodger" fans?

"Abreu gets under it, and wrestles it to a stand still" says Gary, and as weird as that sounds, a very apt description of the fly out to left by Bay.

Zvon Jul 20 2012 06:05 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

A little league moment for everyone involved on that deflected grounder off a diving Santana's glove.

Zvon Jul 20 2012 06:07 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Shit. I love how players with ZERO homers get their 1st off us. Wassup w/dat?

Nooey Ks, and heads straight to the clubhouse to pack. They will need another pitcher for the Miguel Batista fireworks show tomorrow.

Wright with the grab of the foul pop. Nice catch.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 20 2012 06:31 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Nice graphic and all, Z, but this game's already lost in my mind. The bullpen can only sharpen my ire, not increase it.

That was designed to be used when we have a lead and go to the pen, but lately I've felt that going to the pen in those situations is no joke anymore. I think I'll retire that one.

Swan Swan H Jul 20 2012 06:41 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Torres put a good swing on that one. It it drops they might have gotten something going here.

Ashie62 Jul 20 2012 06:52 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Ruben singles.

Ashie62 Jul 20 2012 06:54 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Get Ruben some oxygen! 6-3

Zvon Jul 20 2012 06:55 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

YEA Muffy! 3fer3. And Ruben scores with a mad dash, first to home. I like that. Make em throw the ball.

Zvon Jul 20 2012 06:57 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Come on Ike. We need you to be big here.

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2012 06:58 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

One (or both) of the big lefties has to come through here.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 20 2012 06:59 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

They've gotten this far with patience. Wait for yours, lefties.

Ashie62 Jul 20 2012 06:59 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Im thinking of the Ike Duda poll

Ashie62 Jul 20 2012 07:00 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Thought he got it.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 20 2012 07:00 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Ike missed his, I think (that 2-1 middle-in fastball he fouled back).

Zvon Jul 20 2012 07:00 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

I agree with Keith. That's too wide a stance for a hitter like Davis. When did he start opening up that much? Ok, you do it Duda!

Ashie62 Jul 20 2012 07:05 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

poop-a

Zvon Jul 20 2012 07:06 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Great at bat here by the Dude. UGHHHH, bullshit. That was no swing! Damnitt

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 20 2012 07:07 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

It's not a great at-bat when the pitches he's fouling off are right-down-Broadway fastballs. There have been 5-6 hittable-- low-90s, middle-to-high-middle, Aaron-Harang-quality DRILLABLE-- fastballs in both of these last two at-bats.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 20 2012 07:08 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

The Dude killed us there.

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2012 07:10 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

As it turns out, Tejada's mad dash home wound up stealing us a run even though it looked, at best, like a questionable decision at the time with Wright coming up and only one out.

Swan Swan H Jul 20 2012 07:23 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

This game is nowhere near lost. Remember, as long as the Mets keep hitting, Daughtry doesn't get to play. A cause worth rooting for if ever there was one.

Zvon Jul 20 2012 07:30 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

Swan Swan H Jul 20 2012 07:39 PM Re: IGT 7/20, vs. Dodgers: Feels Like Tonight

OK, they're chipping away. Runs in the 5th and 6th. keep that up and it's a 7-6 win for the Metsies.

Here's why burning a pinch hitter to lead off the 3rd may not have been the best idea by TC. Is there anybody left on the bench that can hit? edit: ah my bad Santana was already out the game.

The PH spot I wouldn't have made was Nieuwenhuis for Beato an inning or so later. Especially with the way Kirk's been (not) hitting you practically had as good a chance with a reliever up there - plus you then get an extra inning out of him.

Hairston thrown out by Hairston. I predict a battle over the drumstick this Thanksgiving.

No comments about Joyce missing the call at 2B that lead to the 7th Dodger run? It looked like Murphy got the runner. In other news, Joyce now can write another book about blowing another call.

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the infield side of the bag, bearing a his cleats upon the brow of the encroaching shortstop. Meanwhile Turner is going to get a big at-bat unless somebody homers.
