IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

G-Fafif Jul 21 2012 08:13 AM

Mets 2-0 in 2011 with me there and Batista starting, only 3-2 when Capuano started and me there. So maybe it will be a good Fonzie Bobblehead Day after all. Ruben Tejada – SS Andres Torres – CF David Wright – 3B Scott Hairston – RF Jason Bay – LF Ike Davis – 1B Ronny Cedeno – 2B Mike Nickeas – C Miguel Batista – RHP

Black jerseys? I love you, but fuck you, Fonzie.

Zvon Jul 21 2012 11:17 AM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Batista and black jerseys? This can't be good.

Im taking bets. How many innings does Miguel last? Does he get outta the 1st? Does he settle down? The suspense is hurting my head.

Batista gets two outs and then walks the next two, then gives up a hit, 1 zip Dodgers, walk.......boos

Hefner was up Howie said , over 30 pitches but gets out of it only down one. Howie speculating that when Harvey gets the call it will be a road start and not in Santana's spot against Strasburg Wednesday.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 11:36 AM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

It's been his pattern as a starter this year. Crappy beginning and he settles down. Let's hope that holds.

Two out walk to Wright. Hopefully Capuano finishes innings like Batista.

Zvon Jul 21 2012 11:48 AM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Much better second inning for the Batistaman.

Zvon Jul 21 2012 12:09 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Batshit.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 12:10 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

A two-run, two-strike hit to a guy who's 1-36. Crikey.

metirish Jul 21 2012 12:11 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

And it's all falling asunder here in the 3rd with 2 out.

Swan Swan H Jul 21 2012 12:14 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

This is excruciating. Batista has nothing, Capuano looks good, and I'm surrounded by all manner of amateur comedians who think that yelling 'Harvey' at full volume is either clever or helpful. The grilled bologna and Bayside fries were excellent, however.

Zvon Jul 21 2012 12:15 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Nice scoop Ike.

Zvon Jul 21 2012 12:19 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Valde trying to make something happen. Nice drag bunt. Good thing there was no throw cause he was way out of the baseline.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 12:35 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

I hope Ike was mad at himself there and not the ump. We got game! 4-2 da bums.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2012 12:44 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

At the pace this game is going we're going to be here for a while.

Swan Swan H Jul 21 2012 12:45 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

I haven't had a beer at a game in ages, but I appreciate the sentiment. Instead, I'm playing cliche bingo with the guy on my left. After he yelled 'I got it' on a foul pop and 'Ump you suck' on Davis's K I just need a 'Swing batter' to win a gift card at Waldbaum's and a basket of jams and jellies.

Zvon Jul 21 2012 12:49 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

How does Hairball not catch that? Eyecurumba.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2012 12:53 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

More two-out walks and defensive incompetence plus a 27-pitch inning despite only two base-runners, and all this from the guy who is in the game on account of the starter giving up too many two-out runs with too many high-pitch innings.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2012 01:14 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Uribe is hitting .180 and had walked 8 times all year coming into today ... so we walk him twice and, surprise, we get burned by it with two outs again.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 01:15 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

And Treanor (second greatest athlete in the family?) breaks an 0-23 slump with an RBI hit of his own. That's three runs driven in by the banjo gang (the dgang gang). My new invention is a compartment under the stands for tucking the tarp away. Rolled up tarps should not interfere with caroms, say I.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 21 2012 01:28 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

1. Gotta say, seeing Cedeno go after a ball at 2B wearing a 13 jersey, I had a Fonzie moment. 2. Eff this, I'm going to go drink beer with a Boy Named Seo.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 01:33 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

There's an Alfonzo moment!

Cedeno!

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 02:00 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

An 0-2 single for Juan Rivera in the eighth. This is one slow-assed game.

Ashie62 Jul 21 2012 02:03 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

This is painful and depressing.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 02:04 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

That double-play wasn't depressing. Neither was that whiff of Kennedy. Let's get active. Let's active.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2012 02:05 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Do the Dodgers even have a hard-hit ball in today's game? Not that we deserve to be winning or anything but between the walks, bad defense, and bloops and bleeders, LA is just being handed this game.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 02:12 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Not sure I'd go with Nieuwie. Too many whiffs.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2012 02:12 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

But that got it done. One-run game.

Wright needs to get on to get us a hacker's chance.

Hairston up as the tying run. Muff and Davis to follow.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2012 02:56 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

All of the Dodger runs came with two outs, half of them after two were out and none on.

Nymr83 Jul 21 2012 03:47 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Haven't the Mets been the ones scoring runs that way all year though? And hey, the Mets bullpen isn't just horrible, its CURSED! How else can you explain Dickey coming out of the pen and getting taken deep by Juan friggin Uribe? CURSED!!!

Ashie62 Jul 21 2012 03:54 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Today's outcome was one step above calling forfeit with Batista going.

It's the curse of Armando Benitez. This is what the Mets get for naming Roger McDowell over Benitez to the 50th anniversary first all Mets team as the righty reliever. This is what the Mets get for not even putting Armando's mug on one of this year's season tickets. You didn't think I was good enough for you? You will come to learn how bad not good enough can be. I curse you.

MFS62 Jul 21 2012 04:59 PM Re: IGT 7/21/2012 LAD @ NYM: Sacrificial Game Thread

Updating a factoid from today's WSJ, the Mets are now 103-85 in games started by pitchers in their 40's. That's in the top 5 or 6 all time. Later
