IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Swan Swan H Aug 21 2012 01:37 PM

Chris Young will be the tallest person out there when the Mets take on the Colorado Rockies tonight at Citi Field. They will face Jhouyls Chacin, whose first name was my most recent rack of letters in Words With Friends. A bit of flippage in the 1-2 and 3-4 spots today, and the bottom third is just that. Baxter – RF Tejada – SS Davis – 1B Wright – 3B Murphy – 2B Valdespin – LF Torres – CF Thole – C Young – P

Someday, maybe in his nineties, Terry will wake up and realize that Murphy in the middle of the lineup was no way to hang himself.

Hopefully Torres will get lost on his way to Citi. He certainly seems lost inside it.

Mets – Willets Point Aug 21 2012 02:12 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

I think a big win streak starts tonight.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2012 02:13 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Muffy is basically hitting like Paul LoDuca and he's been cleanup or 5th almost the whole year.

Love the thread title........I can't remember the last time I saw so few Mets games in a season on the telly. They suck of course and I have family out from Ireland for the summer.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 05:30 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

That's four long/loud outs for Wright in his last five ABs - in addition to his 2B & IW last night.

wow, could Fowler have been more nonchalant right there, he made that they look so easy as the wall .

I wish when I reach Ed Charles' age, I look as good as him.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2012 05:55 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

No hitter intact! (Not saying which one I'm jinxing)

The Second Spitter Aug 21 2012 05:56 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Good work!

You weren't gonna win that battle Shorty. He was out. Pick your battles better.

Torres clearly forgot to take Ritalin this morning.

Well, now at least they don;t have to worry about Young's arm falling off after the 7th.

Zvon Aug 21 2012 06:23 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

GAH! A cheapy. Nice try Rubin.

Zvon Aug 21 2012 06:25 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Young is hitting that 6th inning wall.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2012 06:27 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

I wasn't paying attention so I could be wrong, but did Thole sacrifice ahead of Young?!?

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 06:27 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

So is there anyone who DIDN'T know that, as soon as the perfecto disappeared, the lead was only seconds from following suit?

Reads as a ground out to pitcher but I don't know if it was a sac. No bunt, it was a come-backer where Torres was running on the pitch so it had the effect of a sac. The problem came when Torres didn't know when NOT to run.

Keith--chill out about the Rockies mistake, the Mets are making plenty of their own. Harp on those.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2012 06:36 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Meantime, I've had about enough of this freakshow and his fallapartingness.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 06:43 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Do you suppose any of the Rox refer to their current 3Bman Pacheco as 'Doctor'? Nah, they're probably all too young.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2012 06:48 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Tuefel, come see me in my office.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 06:48 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Right move to send him. There were two outs and it could be two more innings (or two more days) until our next hit.

Zvon Aug 21 2012 06:51 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

I could see as that play developed that Tejada was gonna be out by a mile. He was just rounding 3rd as the left fielder got the ball.

Zvon Aug 21 2012 07:03 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Valde has a set, huh?

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 07:04 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

If he slides in feet-first there Keith he would have been out. The "terrible" slide was the only thing that got him in there. Keith can get a bit unglued on stuff that doesn't adhere to his orthodoxy.

Keith can get a bit unglued on stuff that doesn't adhere to his orthodoxy. Exactly. Even on the slo-mo replay, that much was obvious. Still an ugly slide, but he was right to do it.

Fman99 Aug 21 2012 07:16 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Here, have that run back, we didn't really need it. Fucking bullpen. I long for the days of Mel Rojas.

seawolf17 Aug 21 2012 07:26 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

I love when Keith goes off the rails because he's disgusted with the game, but it's pathetic that it's only a three-run game and he's pretty confident that this thing is over and he's already mentally checked out.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 07:27 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

That might have been the first time the Rox hit one right at one of our guys tonight. 'Bout time after all the cheesy hits they've rung up. Now if only I had some confidence that our offense could take advantage of that break.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2012 07:34 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

I don't care if we did have Cy Young. Two runs per night ain't gonna cut it.

If he's going to be inaccurate, I'd rather that he be funny or be quiet. And speaking of checking out... where's Ronnie this week? Traveling? I'd ask whether it was pointless to double-switch when he could have just pinch-hit with Hairston later, but, well... I'm done with wondering why Collins did the stupid/wasteful thing, and have come around to accepting that he'll just tend toward that instead of the other thing.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 07:35 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

Just fuckin' pathetic. Facing what might be the worst pitching staff in all baseball and they have, what, maybe six hard hit balls in two games?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 21 2012 07:42 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

What a perfectly Metly sixth run.

Edgy MD Aug 21 2012 07:45 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

They're not exactly being picky about what they swing at, neither. Good a time as any for that winning streak to begin. Steve Henderson, I call on you now in my darkest hour.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 07:46 PM Re: IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

The only team hitting worse than us this week is Colorado. The difference is that we're handing them the game and they're just opportunistic enough to take it as well as, let's face it, more than a bit lucky.

Ike Davis, first-pitch swinging.
