NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2013 02:09 PM

I guess you gotta give Ike a crack at the short porch. Ruben Tejada – SS Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Lucas Duda – DH John Buck – C Rick Ankiel – CF Marlon Byrd – RF Ike Davis – 1B Mike Baxter – LF vs Phelps. Brett Gardener – CF Robinson Cano – 2B Travis Hafner – DH Lyle Overbay – 1B Brennan Boesch – RF Ichirco Suzuki – LF Jayson Nix – 3B Reid Brignac – SS Chris Stewart – C vs. Hef

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 29 2013 03:09 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Forgot about Boesch. This team, man. It's like Flashy 2-Bags and the Guys Who Nobody Wants In Your Fantasy League.

Ceetar May 29 2013 03:11 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

~$22 at the box office to get in tonight. I'm halfway tempted.

Edgy MD May 29 2013 03:24 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Does Boesch really have enough arm to knock Ichiro over to left or is it that leftfeild at YSIII is much more territory than right is?

vtmet May 29 2013 03:56 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

If Valdy can't even get in the lineup tonight in Yankee Stadium vs a RHP with the DH rule in play; then they might as well just ship him down to AAA to get some playing time...yes his average sucks, but so does the rest of the guys that are getting playing time, and he's one of the few that actually has a degree of talent...

Zvon May 29 2013 04:30 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

After the last two games, and the last bunch of sudden wins, I don't expect much tonight. Or should I say I expect the worst? I dunno. We are Met fans. We know that all four of these games going our way would be a lil miracle. Lil one. But I'll still push it and forge on with my Python bit in support of our Mets. A few more flesh wounds should do it.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 29 2013 04:43 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Eff that. This MFY team is the one due for a letdown, you can't pitch like that every night. I am expecting a resounding victory.

Zvon May 29 2013 05:23 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Buck drives in Danny. Nix nixes it, error, Wright scores. Only 1 out (Duda k). Phelps up to 27 pitches. OP:Doh! Thats my bit. Ha! Nix sucks.

Good evening, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to get your fucking brains beat in by the Mets. This inning will self-destruct in 15 minutes.

Lefty Specialist May 29 2013 05:47 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Good to see Hefner hold them scoreless there. Foot on the neck, boys, don't let them up.

Frayed Knot May 29 2013 05:59 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Damn, I wanted five more runs in the 2nd inning.

metirish May 29 2013 06:05 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Beautiful out pitch from Hefner to Stewart.......

Frayed Knot May 29 2013 06:07 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

A bit disturbing in that it's taken Hefner nearly 50 pitches just to get through two scoreless innings despite only three base-runners -- although I suppose that beats a low pitch count with runs allowed so we shouldn't complain too much.

Zvon May 29 2013 06:10 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Nice catch, but not good enough to make the thread.

seawolf17 May 29 2013 06:12 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Marlon Byrd, bustin' out the whoopin' stick. 6-0.

Frayed Knot May 29 2013 06:14 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

The only possible HR that's shorter than that one was hit by Jeter some 16 years ago.

Frayed Knot May 29 2013 06:16 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Yanqui relievers Adam Warren and Preston Clairborne are going to meet after the game in the club where they'll sink into their leather chairs, check the market reports, and complain how hard it is to get good domestic help these days.

seawolf17 May 29 2013 06:18 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Five pitches for Hefner in the third. Much better.

Zvon May 29 2013 07:02 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Hef for 7? 8? 83 pitches after five. If there's is no reason to see Parnell we are much better off tomorrow. Give Rice a breather too. 7 and then a rag tag fleet of pen[crossout:2wshgtqg]shit[/crossout:2wshgtqg]people?

Edgy MD May 29 2013 07:08 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

I don't really like Hafner batting against Hefner unless Hifner is catchng and Hofner is umpiring.

Frayed Knot May 29 2013 07:28 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Y'know, if the Yanx insist on going through this dog and pony show in every home game 7th inning, they should be made to forego the commercial break. The biggest problem MLB has these days, IMO, is the length & pacing of the games, so why should these clowns be allowed to add three minutes to theirs every night all because George Steinbrenner wanted to act like he invented patriotism? One or the other guys, not both.

Edgy MD May 29 2013 07:33 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Mets pitchers have mostly made him into Robinson Cannot this series.

Edgy MD May 29 2013 07:36 PM Re: NYM @ MFY 5/29/13

Rice looking very krispie. Additionally have to say... they believed in this guy and stuck with him through some early bumps when they were giving up on some others (Burke, Edgin), and it's paid off for them.

Don't focus on a potential FUBAR. Waste of important energy that you'll need to save the game. Not to defend Ike's fishing expeditions, but I really didn't think he went on that one.

But seriously, the rules from MLB say that the half-inning break is to be timed at 2:05 (2:25 for GotW and 2:55 for playoff games) except that one team gets to make one of theirs into a six minute break whenever they feel like it.

The Mets aren't contending this year, but I'd love to have the Yankees looking back in September, 10 games out of the 2nd Wild Card, and knowing that a sweep (or would it really be 2 sweeps of 2 games each? haha!) by the Mets was where it all started to go wrong
