IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jun 10 2014 10:34 AM

I haven't started one this year, so maybe this will bring some luck. The Mets, having done their best to prove that the line about them playing better on the road is a bunch of bunk, return tonight to Citi Field to play the Brewers. It's the first of a three-game series. On the bright side: Daisuke Matsuzaka (2-0, 3.21 ERA) vs Marco Estrada (5-2, 4.19 ERA) for Milwaukee. Daniel Murphy is back [crossout:26jylc8t]from being used in a White House photo op,[/crossout:26jylc8t] err, sharing his experiences and will be expected to lead the way to victory with better socks. David Wright should be less cranky now that he is playing and leading in the All-Star Game voting. Despite Mike Puma's efforts, Terry will continue to sit in a relatively non-warm seat, especially if we can win a game. We can beat these guys!

If someone were to suggest to you say two years ago that Carlos Gomez would be hitting 4th in a lineup where Ryan Braun hits 2nd you'd think he was a bit daft.

Chris Young is a rally killer.

Break it open Taylor Teagarden!

Mets Guy in Michigan Jun 10 2014 07:01 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Walking the bases loaded. Considering our struggles with the bases loaded, it's not a bad strategy.

Zvon Jun 10 2014 07:02 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Wow. Thank you Taylor Teagarden.

Frayed Knot Jun 10 2014 07:03 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Talk about your Tea-garden parties!!

Mets Guy in Michigan Jun 10 2014 07:03 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

TEA-GRAND-BOOM!!

Frayed Knot Jun 10 2014 07:05 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Teagarden has a version of the Chase Utley-ish truncated follow-through kind of swing - at least while going towards the opposite field. Haven't seen him pull one yet.

I didn't expect Taylor Teagarden to do that. (Now superstition will force me to always say his complete name)

I have to say, we're pretty good at drawing walks tonight.

Zvon Jun 10 2014 07:30 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

6-1 Mets. 8th inning. Familia. Is it safe?

Frayed Knot Jun 10 2014 07:32 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Oh Familia, you're breaking my heart you're shaking my confidence daily

Losing confidence in our bullpen. Didn't the pen lose, like, five of the six games in the streak?

Mets Guy in Michigan Jun 10 2014 07:42 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Gameday makes it seem like Davis just struck out swinging at a pitch that was so inside that it nearly hit him!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 10 2014 07:44 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

It kinda sorta was-- movement so nasty, you should call it Mister Two-Seam. Oh, my boy may occasionally get shaky. But he doesn't stay shaky.

I'm crediting Teagarden and MGIM for the win...

Did Mejia crop his hair or is just relaxing it with a notion?

Ashie62 Jun 10 2014 07:55 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

BOOKS! POP THE CORKS...

Fman99 Jun 10 2014 07:56 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Put it in the books!

Edgy MD Jun 10 2014 07:57 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Never heard of "Irving Falu"? Sounds Jewish-Tonganese. Mets just won a homecoming day in I-don't-know-how-long. I was starting to think God hated "Taking Care of Business."

Mets Guy in Michigan Jun 10 2014 07:57 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

YES! Now we can uncork the bubbly and put it in the books!

Zvon Jun 10 2014 07:57 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Good game folks. We needed that.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jun 10 2014 07:58 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Matsuzaka is making a case to stick around!

Edgy MD Jun 10 2014 08:01 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Sure hope so. Team was wearing the real uniform, too. No bullshit, there.

MFS62 Jun 10 2014 09:23 PM Re: IGT: June 10 vs Brewers. Home-brewed desperation.

Not getting too giddy, they only got five hits. But it was nice to get them when they counted. I'll take it. Good game. LAter
