I guess its time for me to step up and take my loses. And wins. This one's gonna be a win.

I'll be at the game. It seems like I'm at all of Niese's games....

Mike Leake can be hit. I am very interested in who get penciled in a 1B...Justin Turner?

Seems like I go to all Citi Tuesday games (hey, free $10 for having a Citi credit card pays for a beer!) but I'm so worn out I barely have the energy to get home after work tonight. Enjoy, it's gonna be a win. Duda will double, twice.

Ceetar - I have a Citi Visa card. How do I get this free beer?

There's a tent in the center field area, right by the ASG sign. show them the card and your license, get a $10 gift card which is acceptable everywhere except I think Pat LaFriedas? (maybe not the Shake Shack stuff? maybe it's only the 'main' aramark/mets stuff.)

This one's gonna be a win. well...it's in Citi Field, so Niese has a chance...At home, he's merely bad instead of being horrible on the road...When did Niese turn into Pelfrey in terms of K:BB ratio? At home, his control is merely bad: 14 strikeouts to 11 walks & no wild pitches; He's allowed an OBP of .360; OPS of .810; On the road, he's got more walks and wild pitches than strikeouts: 13 walks & 4 wild pitches with only 10 strikeouts; He's allowed an OBP of .390; OPS of .830; However...If he allows an OPS of .810 with our offense averaging an OPS of .657 at home; then the odds are against a good outcome...

Leake is a real good athlete, looks like one anyway. I can't believe he's a major league player, stealing undershirts from a Macy's though. What kind of fucked up person does something like that?

Benjamin Grimm May 21 2013 01:38 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

Really? He stole undershirts from Macy's? A guy who earns his salary should steal his undershirts from Bloomingdales or Lord & Taylor.

Lineup, courtesy of Guys! Murphy-4 Baxter-9 Wright-5 Duda-7 Ankiel-8 Buck-2 Davis-3 Tejada-6 Niese-1 Muffy holds the leadoff slot. Good job, Terry.

I read up on this. He said he was trying to exchange the items he'd previously bought himself, by replacing his paid-for items on the display and taking price tags off the new stuff. So they only got him to plead guilty to stupidity.

Edgy MD May 21 2013 01:55 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

I'd say that exchanging merchandise without bothering to run it through a salesperson... is really kinda more embarrassing than "I have psychological issues that I need to get under control."

Swan Swan H May 21 2013 01:59 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

Reds lineup, from Rubin: Derrick Robinson, cf Zack Cozart, ss Joey Votto, 1b Brandon Phillips, 2b Jay Bruce, rf Todd Frazier, 3b Donald Lutz, lf Devin Mesoraco, c Mike Leake, rhp Aren't Lutz and Mesoraco the lawyers you need if you or someone you know has been diagnosed with mesothelioma?

Zvon May 21 2013 05:29 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

Niese gets the first two pinkos and then walks 2 with a single sandwiched in there. Bases all red, 2 out. And a hard hit grounder goes right through Wrights legs. Unreal. BOOOOOO David! That coulda, shoulda, woulda been the inning. 2-0 and we have not even batted yet.

Zvon May 21 2013 05:30 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

Niese has thrown 42 pitches and the first is not over yet.

Zvon May 21 2013 05:33 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

Niese walks in a run. I'm steppin off. I think I have some hard liquor somewhere. Shots on me. That was an interesting last out.

Frayed Knot May 21 2013 06:35 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

With two outs and with Ike coming up, Teufel probably should have sent Duda although I'm not so sure he would have been safe.

Swan Swan H May 21 2013 06:36 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

With two outs and with Ike coming up, Teufel probably should have sent Buck as well.

Edgy MD May 21 2013 06:49 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

Niese has done a fine job righting himself, but I'm not too sure I let him hit there. I'm certain I don't let him go up there first-pitch swinging.

Still struggled with his command some but hopefully he's righting himself overall.

Ike hearing some vicious boooooos. Still 3-0 Cin after 7. Mets have a total of 3 hits

Collin gives up a kaboom to Meserwacko and then, read his lips: "Oh my God. Fuck me!"

Zvon May 21 2013 07:45 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

That was Mesoracos second homer of the season. Too bad there's so many more little guys than big guys. The little guys are killin us.

Zvon May 21 2013 07:53 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

I really wish the Mets didn't have that kinda semi-nice start to the season. I don't think I'd feel as down about em as I do now if they just plain sucked since day one. Mets lose again. 0 runs. 3 hits.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 21 2013 08:00 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

I think Ike's struggles have become the ultimate elephant in the room. Almost nobody is performing the way they can.

That'd almost be okay if everyone else was merely mediocre. But Tejada and Davis are abysmal, and Buck and Byrd are mostly bad with good days.

Frayed Knot May 21 2013 08:48 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

This was like those reg season games we seemed to have against the Yanx all the time there for a while, where all the walks, all the cheesy hits, and the big error would all get bunched up in the same inning to form a deficit the Mets would never recover from. I mean, yeah, we didn't hit and deserved to lose, but it's not like they hit either. We just put all our screw-ups in a six-batter sequence.

batmagadanleadoff May 21 2013 08:54 PM Re: IGT:Niese VS. The Pinko Commies: Reds @ Mets 5/21/13

This was expected. The results, anyway. How they'd get to the bottom was arguable. I mean, you'd think that Ike would have two or three more HR's, but instead, Buck's got Ike's missing HR's. But that they'd be pathetic should not surprise anyone.

Is it time to put Niese on the 15 day DL before he hurts himself? and then give him a "rehab" trip to St Lucie to work on his control issues? Something just ain't right with Jon...

No, because (as far as we know anyway) he's not hurt. Yeah, the 1st inning yesterday was ugly as hell, but he could easily have slid away from that scoreless and bounced back nicely the rest of the way, He was even lobbying for one more inning despite the high pitch count. So, in all, he's allowed just 2 earned runs on 11 hits over his last 13/1 IP. Not exactly what I'd term "ain't right" or something I'd go inventing injuries over. Zvon: Cut and paste that stuff into a new thread if you want to discuss the '73 NLCS. This thread is soon to be filed away into the archives anyway so you're just going to lose it again. Plus, last time I checked, we're no where near our quota of threads for the month so it's OK to start a new one.

ET NEW YORK -- Following each of his last four starts, Mets left-hander Jon Niese experienced abnormal soreness in his left shoulder, which prevented him from recovering like he wanted. Niese felt sore enough that there was "no way" he could throw his routine between-starts bullpen session. A subsequent MRI exam revealed a bout of left shoulder tendinitis, which Niese hopes will sideline him for only one turn through the rotation.
