Love the late games.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 08:15 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Leading off, Eric Young gets a hit in August. That almost never happens!

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 08:18 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Byrd looked like he took that out of deference to the baserunner, which is a heck of a sacrifice when you're already down a strike.

Zvon Aug 12 2013 08:22 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Mejia takes the mound. You're big kid! I'm gonna switch and listen to a few innings of play by play by Scully.

Zvon Aug 12 2013 08:26 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Vin says Mejia had an easy inning :)

Fman99 Aug 12 2013 08:27 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

I hate the late games. By the third inning I'm gassed.

themetfairy Aug 12 2013 08:29 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

The late games always remind me of my grandfather, who would stay up listening to them on his radio. Whether I make it through them or not, that's always a happy association for me.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 08:34 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Ike Davis + August = Danger.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 08:34 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Four straight hits. Let's chase this dude.

Zvon Aug 12 2013 08:35 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Four hits in a row off Nolasco! Vin is concerned for Bucks wife. Shes 10 days late?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 12 2013 08:35 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Kicking their asses here. Too bad Flores looks like he'll need 3-6 weeks off.

themetfairy Aug 12 2013 08:36 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Gary Cohen referred to the 11-day late Mrs. Buck as having "the longest gestation in Major League history." 2-0 Mets. Let's hope that Flores can rub a little dirt on his ankle and be able to stay in the game.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 08:37 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Mejia needs to go to bunting school. And I mean 101.

Kong76 Aug 12 2013 08:39 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Fast forward for me in the AM.

Zvon Aug 12 2013 08:40 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

I wanted more there. I saw them working in the cage last week with the pitchers, on bunts. They need to do that 3 times a week.

Wonder what would happen if they said "screw it" and did the hitting drills 3x a week instead. Mejia makes Puig look silly. Yasiel reminds me of Lasciel the fallen angel from the Dresden Files. (read them.)

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 08:45 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Vin Scully missed a file. He just declared that the Mets have never had a no-hitter.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 08:45 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

And he corrects himself.

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2013 08:48 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Vin has made several mistakes already. Called EY Jr. "the son of a former Met", mispronounced Piscataway, and then the no-hitter gaffe. Seems to be losing a bit off his fastball.

I don't think Scully does and therefore is overly reliant on whatever he's being fed on paper. He just gave the score of the in-progress Arizona game as 2-0 Baltimore, for instance, even though the crawl right on the screen changed it to first 2-1 and then 2-2 a while earlier.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 09:13 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

He certainly didn't seem this sloppy last year. He just told the "Yo la tengo" story, except he told it as Ashburn saying "Yo tengo... something." All things must pass.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 09:14 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

That failed --- and that's the kind word --- bunt could really end up hurting.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 09:15 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

He just screwed up his correction of the "Yo la tengo" story.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 09:15 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

OK, yeah, Flores has an arm.

Zvon Aug 12 2013 09:16 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

lol, now that was a correction. Tuff night for the master. Hes gotta have off nights if he does every game alone. No breaks either, huh? Nice play Wilma!

Tying Puig at the plate.

Not for nothing but Mejia looks like a hell of a pitcher.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 09:27 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Unreal. After 55 years in southern Cal, Scully seems ignorant of Spanish, but knows a little German.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 09:46 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Scully saying the Mets are as old as the Dodgers, but LaTroy Hawkins, Scott Atchison, and Marlon Byrd aren't exactly representative of what the Mets are about.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 09:47 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Nice uniform number, Ellis. Now retire it, Dodgers.

Just passing 80 pitches. He has to be able to keep it up at least thru six. Come on Jenrry. That was a nice pitch to K Ethier.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2013 09:57 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Gary works with notes and stats (everyone does) but he's also just such a baseball junkie that he can deviate from them or add to them on his own. Scully obviously can't. That's what happens when you're 80-whatever and have cut back on your schedule to where you only rarely see the east teams (Scully doesn't travel anywhere east of Denver). Scully is like Ralph a bit in that he knows the old stories better than the new ones.

Zvon Aug 12 2013 10:00 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

Puig was kind of valdespinish there on the sac fly. Like he hit a homer. Id put one right off the tip of his nose next time up.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 12 2013 10:03 PM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

But looks like Vin should cut down even more. Not only Garys knowledge but his experiences as a Met fan. We are so fortunate to have a broadcaster who grew up right along with us and the team and its not just a job to him. Its his calling.

Ceetar wrote: Frayed Knot wrote: A winnable game that we managed, for a variety of reasons, not to win. the offense is woefully inept. Eh, they did get ten hits plus two walks so it wasn't one of those nights where they were flailing all evening. It was more one of those games where the timing simply sucked all night. The biggest problem came when five of the first eight batters getting hits resulted in just two runs thanks to the missed bunt (9th batter of the game) plus the two GiDPs (2nd & 10th). That inning plus the two more we left on base in the 3rd blew a real chance of running Nolasco's ass out of the game early but we let him off the hook. After that it was the FIVE LOBsters in the 7th & 8th while the Dodgers bunched most of their shit in one inning (cheap hits, real hits, our only error). Dodgers left 3 on, we left 9

Edgy MD Aug 13 2013 07:37 AM Re: IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

We chase Nolasco early, and we're feasting on the back end of the bullpen for a good chunk of the series. We have a deeper bench, we're making some deadly counter-moves, like sending Brown (or Duda!) up for Quintanilla with two men on in the eighth. We have a deeper bench and a little more wa and a little less ego massaging, we're maybe sending Satin or Brown up for Davis when they send in a ridiculous junkballing lefty against him. Feels like the first time in a month Ike's gone down chasing that low breaking pitch like he did the whole first half. Ah, what's the use? What's the use?

Ah, what's the use? What's the use? welcome to the dark side.

Feels just like the beginning of a long losing streak, doesn't it?

And Danny DeVito, last night, you made the list.

Wow there's a lot of rage in this thread. Makes me glad I went to bed with the Mets up 2-0 and cruising.

Going to the game alone, with ringside seats, basking in Johnny-come-lately reflected glory, looking for all the world like Billy Crystal west. But you know, he's back with his wife, and loves animals, and is noticeably old, so I shouldn't be bringing the hammer down on him, but a strange amount of bitter antipathy bubbled out of me last night and some of it landed on him.

The whole scene reeked of "Yankees-at-their-worst, minus the reasonable-people boundaries."

The MFYs basically won on a questionable strike call and the Mets lost on one. It was just a hateful night all around. A ridiculous strike 1 on Trumbo with the bases loaded and 1 out and Angels down by 1, after which he and the next guy whiffed chasing other pitches out of the zone.
