IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

In case you've forgotten what this sounds like. [youtube:34t8ucgi]FhnSiRYPqpw[/youtube:34t8ucgi] Josh Johnson versus R.A. Dickey early 12:10 start.

Jose Reyes has a 26 game hit streak and will look to extend that today and chase Luis Castillo's franchise record 35 game streak. Jose Reyes became the first reigning batting champion with a streak of more than 25 games since Joe DiMaggio had his record 56-game hitting streak in 1941…Reyes is the first reigning National League batting champion to have a streak of 25 or more games since Rogers Hornsby, who had a 33-game streak in 1922…Please credit the Elias Sports Bureau for the research. The Mets lost their ninth straight game at Citi Field, the club’s longest home losing streak since losing nine straight at home from August 28-September 12, 2004

I've heard that even mad dogs and Englishmen are refusing to go to this game even though it'll be in the noon day sun. J. Johnson vs RA Dickey

I hope Dickey has the sense to pitch around Stanton. LGM. Later

Frayed Knot Aug 09 2012 09:26 AM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

Getting him out would be a better idea, as would not walking guys in front of him.

Frayed Knot Aug 09 2012 10:49 AM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

Or, the Marlins could simply not start Stanton at all and make it easier all around (until he comes off the bench later on with the game on the line). In the meantime, Thole singles in Davis and the Mets have a real live lead.

The lead is capitulated... and recaptured! And-- check off your bingo cards-- a two-on/no-out opportunity is squandered, via the double play. Still, hey-- lead!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 09 2012 12:01 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

Torres-- a thirsty man today-- launches one into the Utley Corner. 3-1.

Speaking of things-you-do-not-say, Ronnie and Gary-- ex-jock Ronnie, much moreso-- for Heath Bell for apparently casting blame around (bad scouting reports, mistaken advice from coaches) during his struggles this year. Did this happen? I don't remember this happening. And-- feed off the hate, gents-- the Mets tack on an insure-run on a SugarPants bleeder. His second "what-the" hit of the day... fuel to get off the schneid?

TransMonk Aug 09 2012 12:28 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

Jose's streak looks to be in peril. Although, ninth inning leads are not necessarily a Mets specialty.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 09 2012 12:33 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

Triple for Torres off the top of the RF-corner-wall (better?). If it stands-- being reviewed for HR-ability by the refs-- it'll leave Torres a single short of the cycle for the afternoon.

He's also made unkind remarks regarding the Mets many times, all chronicled here.

Thole I think doubled his RBI total today.

Books! Yea!

metsguyinmichigan Aug 09 2012 12:55 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

Ouch for Jose! Snapping that streak.

themetfairy Aug 09 2012 01:09 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

But Ruben's is still alive.

MFS62 Aug 09 2012 01:22 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

I wonder how many times a player has finished a single short of the cycle? The triple's the tough one. Later

Ashie62 Aug 09 2012 03:58 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

We won!

Zvon Aug 09 2012 04:34 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

Yay! Glad we: 1) Finally won one at home again 2) Got R.A.D. his 15th win 3) Stopped Reyes hitting streak good day

Ceetar Aug 09 2012 06:10 PM Re: IGT 8/9/12 Marlins @ Mets Hide the Brooms

woah, I get to start another one? neat!
