Lets go Mets, yesterday was a wreck, I watched the first two innings then went to the City to meet the GF, she tells me the Mets are up 4 zip, I'm happy, then I hear they lost I couldn't believe it, and how they lost was the killer...terrible.

Blue and the pinstripes for the National TV game. Nicely done. Caught Baseball Tonight before the game. Berman is his usable insufferable self, a horse's ass as usual, but Harold Reynolds embarassing himself too. "Promoting" Mark Teixiera's defense, he says "He's gonna win a gold glove one of these days." Uh, Harold, he did. Last year.

Zvon May 21 2006 08:11 PM

I hope that was Damons favorite bat :\

Zvon May 21 2006 08:18 PM

great play by Reyes. Why wasnt Kaz waiting at the bag for that throw by LaDuke? Did damon have THAT big a jump? One thing we have to establish is that the Skanks cant be runnin whenever they want to. Giambi Ks on a nice changeup by Glavine. 2 out- A-Rod at the plate with Damon on 2nd.

Kaz might've been a little late getting there but that also could be part of just how the shot on TV was shown. Irrelevant with that throw anyway. Not letting teams run isn't just going to be against the MFYs but also against every team. LoDuca's not that good throwing runners out...

Bernie hits a lead off double and Yanks use textbook baseball to move him over. Big K by Glavine negates any possibility of a tag up. YES! and another big K by Glavine ends the threat.

Zvon May 21 2006 08:44 PM

Nice triple by Cliffy. Shoulda, coulda, woulda been a homer. Dagnab wind. Nady cant get him in. Grounds out. 0-0

GYC May 21 2006 08:45 PM

Nady is our best situational hitter.

Gwreck May 21 2006 08:47 PM

Zvon wrote: A look and a throw over by the pitcher would be nice. He did throw over twice when Damon was at first. Joe Morgan alleges Glavine's pickoff move isn't that good. For once, Joe Morgan might actually be right. Wind costs Cliff the kaboom but he still hustles enough to get the triple...but is stranded.

Bret Sabermetric May 21 2006 08:52 PM

] he still hustles enough to get the triple. The key word being 'enough'. A second or two lost admirin' his handiwork to see.

Zvon May 21 2006 08:54 PM

Gwreck wrote: He did throw over twice when Damon was at first. I guess i should pay attention. I think Im still upset about the stolen bases we gave away yesterday. Glavine gets out of another potential jam. 48 pitches, 4 hits, 3 k, 1 walk thru 3.

Zvon May 21 2006 09:02 PM

Well,....... letting that pop drop in was rediculous. Bernie Williams with a lead off windblown pop up double to the infield.

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 09:03 PM

You have got to be kidding me. How can that pop up by Bernie Williams fall in the infield untouched. The damn things was up there so long that Bernie legs out a double on a ball he hit 50 feet max. That is embarassing.

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 09:10 PM

Yankees draw first blood. Captain intangible plates two on a chopper towards third. Not the easiest play, but should have been an inning ending ground out. A play I would expect to see major leaguers make the majority of the time.

Bret Sabermetric May 21 2006 09:11 PM

2-0 Yanks on a single by Jeter off Wright's glove and Reyes' glove. Now it's bases loaded for A-Rod.

Zvon May 21 2006 09:11 PM

shit. Wright lets Jeters grounder eat him up. And Reyes dont stop it either! 2 runs score. If i was scorin that would be 2 errors on one play there. I think they gave him a hit and 2 ribbys.

Rotblatt May 21 2006 09:12 PM

I can't believe they called that shit a single. We just keep giving it away. Disgraceful. Small's got shit too--he's NOT a good pitcher. We should be crushing him and we've only got one hit.

Gwreck May 21 2006 09:13 PM

The pop up and the Jeter single/Wright error didn't really bother me all that much...the big problem...why wasn't Glavine challenging Kelly freakin' Stinnett? 1 out, pitcher due up next, you do NOT walk Stinnett, you throw strikes.

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 09:15 PM

A-Rod hits a rocket to left field, but Cliff makes an awkward looking catch on it to end the inning. Some pretty suspect defensive play really hurt the Mets in that inning. Yankees lead 2-0 heading to the bottom of the 4th. Due up for the Mets: LoDuca Beltran Delgado and hopefully Wright et al

DocTee May 21 2006 09:16 PM

Joe Morgan can barely contain his contempt for Kazmat-- whether it's referring to yesterday's failed DP ("Reyes did everything perfectly and I thought they'd get two") or his analysis of that pop double ("LoDuca came down the line but that's a play someone in the IF has to make") Maybe we should invite him to the CPF??

Zvon May 21 2006 09:19 PM

Gwreck May 21 2006 09:19 PM

DELGADO!!! Much better, thank you.

ScarletKnight41 May 21 2006 09:20 PM

Delgado says Fuck You MFY lead with a 3-run homer -

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 09:20 PM

A pair of singles by LoDuc and Beltran open the inning for the Mets. The Delgado goes Kaboom!!!!

Zvon May 21 2006 09:20 PM

damn-that was huge. :)

The Big O May 21 2006 09:20 PM

I was privately snickering at Joe's use of the term "RBI man" ... thanks for shutting me up, Carlos. And David!

ScarletKnight41 May 21 2006 09:21 PM

Mr. Wright says I can do that -

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 09:21 PM

Back to back homer as Wright goes deep to left.

Zvon May 21 2006 09:21 PM

Gwreck May 21 2006 09:21 PM

Wow, Wright's was in the parking lot!

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 09:24 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 21 2006 09:26 PM

Wright's home run estimated at 445 feet and Delgados had to be close to 400 feet into the wind.

Zvon May 21 2006 09:26 PM

wow. I thought Delgados was crushed...but Wrights is still bouncing all over Flushing. Wow,

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 09:28 PM

Well, that inning was fun. After 4 innings your score is Mets 4 Yankees 2.

Nymr83 May 21 2006 09:29 PM

yay for double-kaboom

Edgy DC May 21 2006 09:31 PM

I interrupt this IGT to bring you a Hell, Yeah! Hell, Yeah! Back to the action...

Zvon May 21 2006 09:44 PM

The Horizon Business K Zone? HA. They pitch out but Reyes still steals second. damn- i think they had him. Maybe not--might have swiped at him and missed.

Nymr83 May 21 2006 09:45 PM

the Mets finally getting some love from an umpire?

Zvon May 21 2006 09:46 PM

..and get into the Skanks bullpen early. Nice.

Gwreck May 21 2006 09:47 PM

The tag definetly beat him, but maybe (?) Cano's tag just missed him. I woulda thought the Yankees would get that call. Oh well, we definetly are due some umpire payback.

Nymr83 May 21 2006 10:02 PM

6-3 DP!

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 10:04 PM

Glavine works out of yet another jam. Captain Intangible grounds into a inning ending double play.

Nymr83 May 21 2006 10:04 PM

6-3 DP!

Zvon May 21 2006 10:05 PM

Nymr83 wrote: 6-3 DP! a big one. Nice try by Floyd on that single. If that got by him I would have had to throw something thru the TV screen. We need a bunch more runs, cuz Willie says he'll use Wags tonight if he's needed and I really hope he isnt.

What you want to root for is for the Yankees to score a run, so when Wags comes in he's protecting a 1-run lead and pitches well therefore.

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 10:11 PM

The Yankees should send this clown, Colter Bean, to the mound with a bucket and a sponge. Damn, does he like to lick his fingers or what. After virtually every pitch he licks his hand before getting back on the mound.

Bases loaded with Yankees with 2 outs in the seventh as Heilman appears to be catching what Wagner had yesterday. Throw some damn strikes!

Rotblatt May 21 2006 10:26 PM

Heilman: "I want to be in the starting rotation. Willie says I've been too good a pitcher to put in the starting rotation. Therefore . . ."

ScarletKnight41 May 21 2006 10:27 PM

Whew!

Willets Point May 21 2006 10:27 PM

Oh good, we're leading. Now lets see what heartbreaking way the Mets find to lose.

Zvon May 21 2006 10:27 PM

whew! big play by Reyes.

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 10:28 PM

The Yankess are turned away, but not without some agita.

Nymr83 May 21 2006 10:30 PM

would we be bashing willie if heilman hadnt gotten out of that?

Valentin walks. Then takes second on a pitch in the dirt. The Mets need to get him in, NOW!!!

Edgy DC May 21 2006 10:44 PM

Villone, who sounds like he should be umping, wants Delgado. Crazy, man.

Edgy DC May 21 2006 10:44 PM

Nope, he goes after Beltran with one pitch and gets him.

Edgy DC May 21 2006 10:49 PM

Let's agree that's the last time the Mets ever put Cairo aboard.

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 10:50 PM

Sanchez in for the 8th inning. Promptly walks Cairo to start the inning. Now gives up a single to Damon. Yankees on first and second with no outs and Jeter up.

Nymr83 May 21 2006 10:52 PM

fuckin bunt, Sanchez gotta get an out there

Edgy DC May 21 2006 10:53 PM

Wow. Two infield hits to Sanchez in a row. Boo.

Rockin' Doc May 21 2006 10:53 PM

Again, i repeat myself, throw some damn strikes. Oh great, Jeter attempting to sacrifice gets a bunt single. Unbelievable!

Double plaze rool. I wonder how it feels. Yankee fans have the best player in the league and dislike him. That must be miserable. Then again they have perhaps the 40th-best player in the league and love the stuffing out of him.

Torre double-switches A-Rod out of the game. Someone explain the genius of benching your best player to keep Ericson in the game longer?

As the "non-clutch" label gets driven a little further into ARod's hide. We gotta smack Scott Erickson for a run or two here.

Im all for running him back out there ASAP,as i said in yesterdays IGT, but I just wish it didnt have to be tonight. If he doesnt get the job done tonight the downside is really down. And he threw alot of pitches yesterday. This is worrysome, but as a Met fan Im used to worryin. *Z crosses his fingers, his toes, his eyes,...his testicles cross themselves voluntarily.

Effin weird game: - Yanks had all those baserunners but rarely came close to hitting a ball hard. - 12 hits in all, 3 of which never left the infield. 10 were singles and one of them should have been an error. Plus even one of the 2 doubles never left the infield - 7 friggin walks, which really sukked because we kept walking all their shitty and replacement hitters: Bernie twice, Melky 1, Stinnett 1, Cairo 1, plus ARod & Giambi once each - and then we hit two guys, including Kevin Freekin Reese - 3 GiDPs bailed our asses out

Has there ever been a series victory (with the only loss a one-run loss) that left the victors as upset and angry and disaffected as this one has? The disappointment of failing to sweep is the overwhelming emotion here--You won 2 out of 3, people--why so glum?
