IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

G-Fafif Sep 28 2012 05:53 PM

Substituting for Edgy because he hasn't started the Chipper Jones Night thread, presumably out of sadness for the loss of a great opponent (uh-huh). Ruben Tejada – SS Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Ike Davis – 1B Scott Hairston – CF Lucas Duda – LF Mike Baxter – RF Josh Thole – C Jonathon Niese – LHP

Neise looking pretty sharp, but Freddie the Freeloader hit one three miles to give the Braves a 1-0 lead. Hudson, for the most part, is making the Mets look like they're swinging strands of fresh pappardelle.

Frayed Knot Sep 28 2012 07:12 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Funny how the hitting returns to normal (our version of normal) when facing major league pitchers instead of whatever the Marlins & Pirates were throwing out there.

Swan Swan H Sep 28 2012 07:19 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

And with that, Murph leads off with a double.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 07:21 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

A lot of great outfield catches against the Mets of late.

Swan Swan H Sep 28 2012 07:22 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Jeez, the Mets got robbed a lot this week. Heyward with a full extension, cross-body dive to pick one inches from the turf on Wright.

G-Fafif Sep 28 2012 07:24 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Say Heyward! (Dammit.) Watching Braves' young slugger go very deep a few weeks ago in the company of fellow Mets fans (after fighting to get a restaurant TV changed to the Mets game), a friend of a friend at the table was all "I hate that guy." Why, he was asked. "Because he's so good." Not a great reason to hate an opposing player -- except when he's just killed you, I suppose.

Bloops tend to get you robbed a lot (and we tend to hit a lot of bloops) although Alvarez did rob some hot shots at 3B the other day at CitiField

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 07:26 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Hairston, man, just make contact. Boo.

Hairy Fail. Come on, Doodoo.

Swan Swan H Sep 28 2012 07:27 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

I'm thinking Peterson and Snyder climbing the walls vs. Dickey and Baxter.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 07:29 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Come on, Dudy. Be my friend.

Yeah FUCK YOU Hudson -- serves you right for turning that into a 10 minute AB!!!! How'd that work out for ya, huh?

Two outs in Pittsburgh ...

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 28 2012 07:34 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

That was hot, specially since they IW'ed themselves into this mess. I was looking up images of Art Howe to say "He battled!" See?

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 07:37 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Great play, Wright. Down side of the Mets taking a seventh-inning lead is that Jones is now set up to become a late-inning hero on his own night.

And, really, did Hudson think Ike was going to be going on the pitch or something? He was just throwing to 1st and doing that whole fake-3rd-go-1st thing as a stall and as a way not to pitch to Duda ... except he IW'd Ike just to get to Duda which is why I say ... Fuckin' serves ya right!

Swan Swan H Sep 28 2012 07:41 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Hairy foiled the strategy by striking out rather than grounding into a 6-4-3.

Frayed Knot Sep 28 2012 07:43 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Booooo pinch-hitter

Frayed Knot Sep 28 2012 07:49 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

SHIT, Rusty could have scored from 1st had that ball not cleared the fence on a hop - and I'm talking about Rusty TODAY!!!

Swan Swan H Sep 28 2012 07:50 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Freddy sez: Since the IBB worked so well last inning, let's try again.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 28 2012 07:52 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Stupid half-right Freddy.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 07:55 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Chipper, cut that shit out. Oh, now I get Brad Benson, that card.

Manny Acosta is our eighth-inning guy? Sheesh. OE: OK, Manny Acosta is our first out in the eighth-inning guy.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 07:56 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Wow, Terry's going to play matchups all the way home.

Fman99 Sep 28 2012 08:02 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Filthy curve there to get Say-Heyward. Larry gets another furtive round of applause.

Ashie62 Sep 28 2012 08:02 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Well he kinda has from day one.

Fman99 Sep 28 2012 08:03 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Oh, Larry, you went 0-4 with four groundouts on your special day? You old hack. Go hump a soda bottle.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 08:14 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Really nice to see Parnell come upstairs with two strikes. More importantly, it's really nice to see him do it successfully.

Frayed Knot Sep 28 2012 08:15 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Freeman not feeling unfettered and alive in that AB

Fman99 Sep 28 2012 08:16 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Yeah, Bobby, put that shit to bed.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 08:17 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Niese, Duda, and Parnell. Really nice win if you want to believe the Mets have a future.

So, if Duda has a daughter, should he name "Larry" or "Chipper Night?"

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 28 2012 08:21 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Parnell and Duda have now had their happy endings. Who will be next?

Why didn't Duda bat in the top of the ninth?

Ashie62 Sep 28 2012 08:51 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

A wierd PH matchup and Bay in for defense or an injury

Edgy MD Sep 28 2012 08:53 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

Budda piitcher was a righty. They sent up another lefty for him --- a .150-hitting one.

Ashie62 Sep 28 2012 08:58 PM Re: IGT 9/28/2012 NYM @ ATL: Chipping Away

I will wait for Rubin on this one I guess.....must have tweaked something then..

I'm glad you guys are here to make me feel normal. Otherwise I'd feel odd about being this happy about an otherwise meaningless game in a lost season. I mean, I LOVE that the Mets won like this on Chipper Jones night. Years down the line this is going to be motivation for the Braves to fuck up Lucas Duda night.

Not when Lucas will hit three home runs that night :)
