Insurmountable lead - top 1st

Benjamin Grimm Sep 20 2012 05:27 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

O. M. G. Six singles to start the game. Three runs in, bases loaded, nobody out.

Frayed Knot Sep 20 2012 05:28 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

Over/Under for runs in this inning has been set at 8.2 I'm taking the over.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 20 2012 05:30 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

Attaboy, Hef. Let's go for a 7 or 8 man rotation next.

Gary mentions the John Maine 5-pitch game without noting that Maine never threw another pitch in the major leagues again (at least to date).

Mets last scored >5 runs at home on August 12th.

Mets last scored >7 runs at home on July 3rd ... against the Phillies.

Frayed Knot Sep 20 2012 05:43 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

The 9 hits (so far) matches the number the Phils had for the first two games combined.

Hefner says, "I like Vegas. If I suck, they can send me there!"

Frayed Knot Sep 20 2012 06:27 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

Sudden thought: When Edgin struck-out Wigginton last night we were one out away from a win ... and since that point, 13 of the next 15 Phillies to come to bat reached base. Only the guy after Howard's blast (Brown I think) and the pitcher tonight (GiDP) failed to reach in that 15 batter span.

The Nationals make the playoffs, the MFYs are winning big, and my team is losing by double figures. Helluva night!

Met Hunter Sep 20 2012 09:10 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

Two things occured to me tonight. The Mets will not win 70 games this season. David Wright will set the all time record for hits as a Met with maybe 100 people in attendance.

The Second Spitter Sep 20 2012 09:11 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

My phone gives me scoringalerts for Mets games. Suffice to say, its been going off all morning. The person I work for says to me "sounds like you have a hot date tonight." 4-25 at Citi Field in the last 29 was the last one I received.

MFS62 Sep 20 2012 09:44 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

Didn't hear the score until I got home from work. Looked at the box score (morbid curiosity) and was astounded to see that not one Pfucking Phillie got plunked. I don't care if anyone gets suspended, but someone here needs some extra Testosterone. Later

Edgy MD Sep 20 2012 10:04 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

Assault isn't courage. It's cowardice. The problem certainly isn't an unwillingness to throw at people. I believe there were, in fact, two hit batsmen for Philadelphia.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 20 2012 10:19 PM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

Yeah, the problem is if Philly scored twice and not 16 times, we still get humiliated. That said, Hef-Fil-A can join Operation Shutdown as far as I'm concerned. Sad that Muffy, who appears to be the last guy playing his ass off for this team, hit into all them DPs.

Phillies 16, Mets 1 Reeling Mets Strike Bottom By ANDREW KEH Published: September 20, 2012 Excerpt: After a summer full of degradation and defeat, the Mets on Thursday burrowed to a previously unfathomed nadir. On no other night this year was their humiliation as complete. The Mets collapsed, 16-1, against the Philadelphia Phillies, extending their home losing streak to nine games. The game, a makeup contest for one postponed by rain, was viewed by a crowd of, at most, a couple thousand people, and played in the closest thing to silence attainable at an American professional sporting event. Imbuing one final insult to the night, the loss mathematically eliminated the Mets from playoff contention. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/21/sport ... .html?_r=0

Yesterday's attendance, according to the Ministry of Truth, was 93,423. Citi Field was doublepluspacked.

Edgy MD Sep 21 2012 10:37 AM Re: Hefty Met IGT 9/20

I appreciate the whole Polo Grounds deep green seats, but it may be a good time to think about painting them happy orange and other playground colors again like at Shea. I mean, we're seeing a lot of the seats these days. Actually, I'm wondering if the outfield walls may turn out to be a good precedent. We lobby passionately for one retro-fit, Shea-referencing architectural feature each season, and in 40 years or so, they might more or less be playing in Shea again. Of course, if there's only 90 fans left to lobby...

It seems a Wilponian thing to do.

Today in Megdal: Excerpt: For his part, Collins did nothing to take incoming fire for his players. When asked if they have quit, Collins responded in his postgame press conference, "You'll have to ask them. I have my own opinion. And I'm not going to express it publicly." It's a line of thinking that makes a simple problem needlessly complex. The Mets don't have the personnel to contend. To suggest some kind of malfeasance on the part of the players, who are playing for jobs next season, avoids blaming the sheer lack of talent on the Mets organization. Meanwhile, the Mets have two weeks left in their season to show David Wright the kind of progress that will convince him to sign a contract extension with the team, assuming they even have the means to offer him one. The Mets hold a team option on Wright for 2013, but Wright has said he won't negotiate in-season next year, so the Mets can either find a way to extend him this winter, or risk losing him for nothing, like Jose Reyes, next winter. That 4-24 record in the team's last 29 home games probably doesn't help the cause. http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/s ... ng-new-low

... it was an invective inducing game. I’m not feeling remotely so generous of spirit. [The Mets] can cry, they can smash stuff, they can bite each other’s heads off for all I care…and maybe they can fucking run to first base.... ¶Who the fuck loses 16-1 in September? The same outfit that lost 13-0 in August, 11-5 in July, 9-1 in June, 8-0 in May and 18-9 in April.... http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/

It was the fucking question Collins was asked, Howard.
