"...or as bad as you look when you're losing." One of these days the Mets will win another game. No time like the present.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 14 2013 08:19 AM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

I gotta say, as shitty as they look, and as much as they deserve to lose, they're a better team than they've shown this year, I just know it! Go you stinky Mets including your crappy new center fielder!!

So much for Ike Davis, Professional Cleanup Hitter: Turner – SS Murphy – 2B Wright – 3B Buck – C Duda – LF Byrd – RF Davis – 1B Lagares – CF Gee – RHP

Gotta get Duda into that cleanup crack. He was born for it. It was born for him.

Cardinal call up SP John Gast has been no joke at AAA 1.30 ERA

Edgy MD May 14 2013 05:41 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

In a poetical and just world, the Ankiel would be in center for the Cards, and John Jay would play for New York.

That interview with Red was great. He's still sharp as a tack. Our Red Ks to start the game. I'm gonna put that down as a wasted at bat.

Edgy MD May 14 2013 06:25 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Can we come up with infield rotations where bases are generally covered, more or less?

Swan Swan H May 14 2013 06:27 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Sigh. Turner sets up wrong on the 3-6-3, Ike throws poorly, Holliday and Craig smack hits, the Mets throw the ball around, 3-0 in the blink of an eye.

Schoendeist (wasn't gonna try and spell it). He looked as old as the planet. Kieth asked him some great questions about what he thought of him when he first came up, and then later when he was an established player. This game is already a joke, huh?

Ashie62 May 14 2013 06:32 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

3-0 first...so what else is new...

Zvon May 14 2013 06:36 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Okay, Gee, if you can get thru 6 more innings and hold em to 3 I got a mug with your name on it.

Zvon wrote: This game is already a joke, huh? No, but few things gut my gourd like players advancing to uncovered bases, and now we see it twice in two games. I sometimes put myself to sleep imagining rotations and who is covering where and who is backing up. With nine defenders, there's usually enough players to cover four bases, and certainly enough to cover the lead one.

Edgy MD May 14 2013 06:51 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Redbird announcers telling a story of a young Keith Hernandez pinch hitting and when Schoendeist wanted to send him back out for defense in the top of the next inning, found Hernandez in the shower. He chased Hernandez out of the shower and sent him out there untowelled to play first, shampoo still in his hair. A teammate-skills faux pas of Jordanian proportions.

Damn, I wish they touched on that during that interview earlier.

Frayed Knot May 14 2013 07:10 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Is Gee going to get yanked or reach the 100 pitch mark by the 4th inning? Or maybe both. It would also be nice if the Cards would actually hit a ball AT a fielder every once in a while.

Frayed Knot May 14 2013 07:14 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

And yet another piece o shit bouncer which finds a hole ... and now ANOTHER one!!!! Not that it matters seeing as how we've got an infield hit off a guy making his ML debut (and I don't think any of the outs have left the infield either) but, geez, except for Holliday's hit they're not exactly smacking the ball off the walls here.

Zvon May 14 2013 07:19 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Turner gets his glove on one (a sharply hit liner) to mercifully end that inning. I don't see any way your getting any beer Gee, even if we come back. Course, if you pitch 4 or 5 more innings and we win, then.....ha, not gonna happen. Just teasin ya.

Frayed Knot May 14 2013 07:28 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Hey Dillon, why don't you try putting the leadoff man on one of these innings? And then if you enjoy that you might want to fall behind in the count a few times, y'know, just to see how it feels.

Zvon May 14 2013 07:31 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

I am not gonna appear in a page two post until the Mets score. I'll be on page one. *click*send*doh!

Frayed Knot May 14 2013 07:40 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

And the man with the leadoff double has yet to move and doesn't score. I've seen this movie already and I know how it ends.

But this is baseball. I know that its the Mets playing and that could negate the fact that in baseball, anything could happen, but still, anything could happen. OE: damn, I posted. Must control myself.

Frayed Knot May 14 2013 07:44 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Oh well, at least we aren't getting shut out by a pitcher making his season and/or ML debut ... oh wait, we are. Then at least we're not into the over-taxed bullpen by the 5th inning again ... or wait, we are. Good thing then that we don't have to face their best two pitchers over the next two days ... oh wait ...

Their pitcher is Gast. Ours are gassed.

Or ghastly.

Frayed Knot May 14 2013 07:51 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

And who woulda thought that walking the 8 & 9 hitters on 9 pitches to lead off an inning would come back to bite you?

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 14 2013 07:51 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Rob Carson. I don't get him.

Fman99 May 14 2013 07:52 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

I blame the Tea Party. Carson's given up 5 HRs in 8 IPs. Hey, I've got an idea, let's trade him for a used pair of Sparky Lyle's socks and a bag of Big League Chew.

Hey, a head's-up baserunning play by Buck not only allows the run to score, but keeps the inning alive.

Zvon May 14 2013 08:01 PM Re: IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

Yay! We score! And another. And Buck beats a run down. Damn, anything CAN happen.

Eight Miles High on that one.

Which all means that if we could have gotten just ONE FUCKIN' SCORELESS INNING from the pen (out of one inning pitched) this would be an interesting game right now. But it's not.

Sure he's only in his 2nd pro year and in AA, but 1-0, 2.04 33 WHIFFS in 17 INNINGS. Edgy's boy John Church and Chase Hunchingson also having good years in Bingo. Gonzalez German and Armando Rodriguez are getting whiffs in Vegas but their ERAs are poor and Rodriguez is giving up HRs at a Carsonian rate.
