Chris Young vs Barry Zito. Are we allowed to actually win a series? Wicked pissah that'd be. 3:45 Eastern time first pitch, by the way.

I'm telling you, "Gay Dame" in the title is the kiss of death.

So glad it's a day game, I'm apparently sick and would've stupidly stay up to watch it if it were a night game when I really need like 12 hours of bed time.

This game doesn't start for seven hours and we've already left four men on base.

Bay (7), Davis (4) and Valdespin (4) ... have to sleep there tonight Actually, following today's game, Giants fans are invited to pitch a tent in the outfield grass: pizza will be ordered, movies shown on big screen and an early breakfast served on Friday--- all for the low, low price of $250 per person. Tempting, but pricy.

I love listening to west coast afternoon games on the commute home. Only get one or two a year, but they're a treat. I seem to remember the Beltran/Cameron collision taking place as I was listening on the way home. Here's the nine that will attempt to bake Zito: Tejada-SS Torres-CF Wright-3B Hairston-RF Murphy-1B Bay-LF Cedeno-2B Johnson-C Young-RHP

G-Fafif Aug 02 2012 11:24 AM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Bake Zito -- that's a standup triple right there. Cedeno, Johnson, even Young -- if you bat lower than Bay, you may want to think about a new line of work.

Giants lineup. As Mets fans remember from the 1990s, it's tough when one of your best hitters has to sit out as often as most catchers do. Scutaro 3B Theriot 2B Cabrera LF Pence RF Sanchez C Pagan CF Belt 1B Crawford SS Zito LHP

Ceetar Aug 02 2012 01:50 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Wright walks with 2 outs. Let's get 'em in Hairston.

Fman99 Aug 02 2012 01:55 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Jason Bay with an opportunity (to take a big shit in the batter's box).

Fman99 Aug 02 2012 01:56 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Wow! Is that allowed by the MLB rules?

TransMonk Aug 02 2012 01:57 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Bay's not totally worthless today.

Give Bay the ball.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 02 2012 01:58 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Cedeno hits it to the wall, 2 runs in!

Zvon Aug 02 2012 01:58 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Ha! Cabrera sucks.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 02 2012 01:59 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Howie says that was an error and decries casual effort of Melky to get it.

TransMonk Aug 02 2012 01:59 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

And they get Zito's ERA up over 4. 4-0 Good Guys.

4 runs on 2 hits* in that inning - it's like this game is the bizarro version of yesterday's. * and it really should be one hit + one error

Edgy MD Aug 02 2012 02:07 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

At least call it defensive indifference. What an ex-Yankee this guy is. Hit .350 and don't give a shit.

Ceetar Aug 02 2012 02:08 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

I'll reiterate, if the Mets decide to put Duda in left field next season, he'll look better defensively (on paper) because a lot of those UZR type stats are in relation to the other fielders at your position...like Melky Cabrera.

Oh, no doubt. But part of getting Duda into left is getting Bay out of the way. And you can't get Bay out of the way if he gets occasional hits due to the indifferent play of... Melky Cabrera. So it's like circles within circles. But Duda will still have to hit.

Zvon Aug 02 2012 02:17 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Damn, Hairball just missed that.

Zvon Aug 02 2012 02:21 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Damn, Hairball just missed that too.

Ceetar Aug 02 2012 02:47 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Giants only have 17 HR at home this season.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 02 2012 02:57 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

6-1 on a muffy single

Zvon Aug 02 2012 02:59 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Zito done-o. Ahh, so far a very pleasant afternoon game.

Edgy MD Aug 02 2012 03:25 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Scary skyscraper hit to Bay who keeps fighting the sun. Melky, meanwhile, a homer short of the cycle.

Zvon Aug 02 2012 03:38 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

5 ribbys for Cedeno? How sweeeeet it is.

Edgy MD Aug 02 2012 03:38 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Five RBIs for CeCe --- 29% of the total he'd had to that point. This is a first-place team we're beating the heck out of.

bmfc1 Aug 02 2012 03:48 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

I know that the SFG are missing Sandoval, and they have a good rotation, but how the hell is that team in 1st place?

Edgy MD Aug 02 2012 03:51 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

'Cuz they haven't faced us in a while. Young is done. Great game. That's why he's still on the team.

TransMonk Aug 02 2012 03:51 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Yes, a fine effort from Young today. Clap, clap.

bmfc1 Aug 02 2012 03:55 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Nice job by Young. And he was very polite with Guys!

Zvon Aug 02 2012 03:56 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Agreed. Really nice outing from Young. Another great at bat by Tejada there.

themetfairy Aug 02 2012 04:32 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Books! 9-1 is your final.

Zvon Aug 02 2012 04:33 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Great boring nice afternoon siesta game. 3 of 4 from the Giants. Very nice, very nice indeed.

MFS62 Aug 02 2012 05:11 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

The Yahoo game report said that Bay hit a fly ball to RIGHT FIELD. Can this be true? Later

Fman99 Aug 02 2012 07:19 PM Re: IGT Wed 8/2 Mets v Giants Chick Fil-a Getaway!

Watched the first few innings while telecommuting, then listened to the middle innings while at the gym. The 3:45 start time works well with the late afternoon errand running (and XM in the car). Nice series win. On to Sandy Eggo.
