Love it!

As long as none of the Mets come back from the road trip with a case of Desert Fever, I'll be happy. Later

TheOldMole Apr 16 2014 08:30 AM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

I'd forgotten about Desert Fever.

Best backup catcher in the biz, probably.

That goes without saying.

America voted for David Wright as the Face of Baseball. David Wright voted for Anthony Recker.

Ike Davis singles. I'm supporting the team and buying a ticket to The Adventures of the Three-Headed Firstbaseman.

ooo, what a handsome swing.

HahnSolo Apr 16 2014 02:37 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Arizona playing an awful lot like a team looking to get their manager fired.

Edgy MD Apr 16 2014 02:42 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Speaking of which, if the White Sox care a whit for Robin Ventura, they better turn it around against the Yankees. If they care, in fact, for all that is good and holy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 16 2014 02:46 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

White Sox are doing fine. It's the stinko Cubs at MFY Stadium this week. Meantime Gee perfecto thru 4, but he's still on my shit list for coughing up 2 different leads in his last outing.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 16 2014 02:50 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Would five more perfect innings get him off your shit list?

Good timing there Mex.

Edgy MD Apr 16 2014 03:01 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

No hitter smashed. What did Keith do? Did it involve boobies?

Frayed Knot Apr 16 2014 03:18 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Feels like a game where we should be up by more than 3 at this point. Definitely NOT a time for Gee to have one of those bad innings and give it all back. The good part is that he's barely over 50 pitches thru five so "the wall" shouldn't be right in front of him yet.

Zvon Apr 16 2014 03:50 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

I didn't see the Gee play at 2nd until the replay just now. Missed that half. Nice play and maybe it effected him but he got thru another inning. Real nice to see after last outing by Dillon. Farnsworth is on. 3-0 Mets, bottom of the 8th

d'Kong76 Apr 16 2014 03:52 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

That hot dog thing looks disgusting, and I'll eat pretty much anything.

Zvon Apr 16 2014 04:00 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

OO, big K by Farnsworth, who looked like he was busy digging his own grave. Still a ways to go before I can rest in peace.

Zvon Apr 16 2014 04:04 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Rice ends the 8th, extracting a high chop grounder from Parra to second, where Murphy fields it flawlessly. Still 3-0 after 8.

Zvon Apr 16 2014 04:05 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Whoa! Young makes things happen. A ground out to the pitcher ends up with EYjr @ 3rd.

Zvon Apr 16 2014 04:18 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Valverde on in a non-save situation in the ninth. Gives up a lead off kaboomer. 5-1 NY

Zvon Apr 16 2014 04:18 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Make that back2back jacks. 5-2

Frayed Knot Apr 16 2014 06:02 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

So did we get an explanation as to why Gee was pulled despite a 3 hitter and only like 70 pitches? G&K speculated about the tangle he got into at 2B, but if it wasn't that or some other cautionary reason (blister, etc.) I was very much against yanking him at that point. Yeah he's been known to fall apart somewhat quickly at times but, as Keith pointed out, he's not going to bust through that threshold by not being allowed to even try.

I agree, but I assume the logic was he got hit real hard that last inning, there were only two innings to go with 6 pitchers who didn't pitch yesterday and 7 that won't pitch tomorrow so why not?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 16 2014 08:36 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Terry gets a pass from me for yanking Gee before he inevitably coughs it up. I'm sure we've all see the ugly numbers and ugly results as the game goes on for him.

metirish Apr 16 2014 08:55 PM Re: IGT 04/16 - Mets at Desert Critters

Collins took him out so Gee would have a good feeling .....I mean fucking really?,
