Recker is catching? I hope they're wearing white and he gets caught in a sudden shower.

LMAO

Nice weather this afternoon. A beautiful day. PLAYBALL!

Zvon Jun 15 2013 11:16 AM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Gary calls Recker a poser!

Zvon Jun 15 2013 11:23 AM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Sloppy play in the field but no one scores, and all is forgiven in the top of the first.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 11:53 AM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

The ump is calling bad pitches strikes to Recker in hopes he will turn back and face him.

Everyone is a comedian now...

Zvon Jun 15 2013 12:02 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Nice catch Lagares! He coulda went Hollywood there and he didn't. I like that. I like this kid.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 12:19 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Of course its the Cubs pitcher who drives in two to give the lil'Bears the lead.

Frayed Knot Jun 15 2013 12:28 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

So other than the; - extra base they gave away on a throw back to the pitcher - the extra out they gave up on what should have been a clean pick-off - the two-RBI/two-out hit to the opposing pitcher (which never would have happened if not for the pick-off screw-up) - that Niese is up over 90 pitches through 4 innings - and the fact that the offense has no hits and just one ball out of the infield (an easy fly to short-center) ... how'r they looking so far?

They're looking like the 2013 Mets. Good ol' Murphy and Wright get something done:) Surprisingly we are only down by one.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 12:51 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

No offense Anthony. There are only two Mets looking good these days.

Ashie62 Jun 15 2013 01:00 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

The hazmat suits are to insulate them from the other Mets...

Zvon Jun 15 2013 01:04 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Al Jackson wore #15? Thats weird for a pitcher. I zipped over to the database to see if he ever wore another number with the Mets. He did, 38. I thought when he left the Mets in '65 that was it. I never knew that he saw some time on the mound with the 69 Mets.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 01:11 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Niese leaves earlier than I had hoped. Up to 106 pitches. Niese was not a happy camper.

Zvon wrote: Niese was not a happy camper. Well then tell him not to issue back-to-back walks to start an inning, not to serve up RBIs to the pitcher, to keep his pitch count under 100 by the 6th inning and maybe he won't be gone so soon.

Frayed Knot Jun 15 2013 01:37 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

The Mets may be bad hitters, but at least they suck at bunting.

Frayed Knot Jun 15 2013 01:38 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

I see we're continuing this outs at the warning track trend of late. There have been three or four in this game and probably a dozen or more over the last week.

That one off Wrights bat his last at bat...how did that not go out? Rice is greeted with a cheap pop single to right. Recker just got caught up in his own looks. Hold the game Rice. One run. Alls we need in one. Gdamned. run.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 01:47 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Rice done with 2 on, 1 out. Lyon on to do his share. Ugh, that home plate ump sucks.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 02:05 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

The Lyons share involves 3 runs allowed. 5-1. Just enough time left in this game for a tease and then a loss. Unless they don't even want to tease us today.

This bottom of the 8th rally would be interesting ... if not for the top of the 8th clusterfuck. Cubs hit ONE ball hard in that half but kept being handed base-runners by overly generous pitchers.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 02:17 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Of all the times for Murphy to hit a weak ground out. Oy. Couplea rib eye steaks out there for you Captain.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 02:23 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

They can't even properly tease me anymore. ><

Frayed Knot Jun 15 2013 02:24 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

I'd love to see what the opposing teams' scouting reports say to their pitchers: Just have every single pitcher throw a ball in the dirt every single time with two strikes because every single hitter on that team will swing at it every single time

Zvon Jun 15 2013 02:28 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

WTF!? What a mess the Mets, Cubs, and umps made outta that play. And I do think Lags caught that on the fly. Thought so in real time. Jeezloufreakinwheese

Zvon Jun 15 2013 02:37 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

If I could see on TV that the ball hit nothing but leather how can that 2nd base ump not see it? He was pretty close looking right at the play. Tweety Byrd trying to get something started in the 9th.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 02:41 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

Oh joy. Now this is a proper tease. Tying run at the plate.

Zvon Jun 15 2013 02:49 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

I do appreciate the tease. It's........something. Mets lose again to the Cubs. The CUBS. The Mets are 15 games under .500? Come on, we are better than this.

Frayed Knot Jun 15 2013 04:08 PM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

There's been a lot of competition, but this might have been the worst game of the year. - 3-1/2 hours of low-scoring slogging play - The Mets tried bunching the few hits they did get but still managed to leave most of the dinner out on the plate. - The Cubs offense consisted mostly of standing with their bats on their shoulders while watching Ball 3 and then Ball 4 - Only two errors but both were of the 'See Spot Run' variety - the only exciting play is one that the Mets, the Cubs, and the umps all messed up in some fashion - and I may have to re-check the exact stats on this but I believe the Mets set a single game record with 34 infield pop-ups

Benjamin Grimm Jun 16 2013 04:44 AM Re: IGT 6/15/13 Cubs @ Mets Beat the Schlubs

I didn't watch the game, but I turned on WFAN in the car and found the postgame show. There was a lot of frustration in Terry's voice. I can't really blame him for not being able to win with this team, but I am sensing the odor of doom around him. Firing him wouldn't be entirely fair, but it may be inevitable.
