IGT 7/1/06 - Mets at MFYs (Trachsel vs. Unit)

TransMonk Jul 01 2006 01:14 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 01 2006 01:24 PM

NY Mets J. Reyes ss P. Lo Duca dh C. Beltran cf D. Wright 3b J. Franco 1b X. Nady rf C. Woodward 2b R. Castro c E. Marrero lf NY Yankees J. Damon cf D. Jeter ss J. Giambi dh A. Rodriguez 3b J. Posada c A. Phillips 1b M. Cabrera lf B. Crosby rf M. Cairo 2b Woodward and Marrero make the lineup even weaker than last night. No Delgado, no (edit)Floyd. Trachsel and Unit have the same winning percentage and virtually the same ERA.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2006 01:20 PM

I dial up Mets.com every day and they show the highlight from the previous day's game. A modest bases-empty single to left by Chavez greeted me today.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:22 PM

Nady-yay! Is Floyd not fresh enough to go on a day game after a night game? Or is that just an old man thing......

Edgy DC Jul 01 2006 01:26 PM

Having a bench of two unavailable guys and whoever isn't playing second is sort of awkward. Maybe we should have sent for some Virginian help for this series.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:26 PM

I went out on a limb with Trachsel earlier this season (i wont repeat it now), and Im climbin back out on it now---uh-oh--it feels kinda shakey--but Im out there. Todays the day.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 01:27 PM

I was watching the World Cup and I almost forgot about the Mets game. And that's a sentence I never would've thought I'd say.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 01:28 PM

Oh, and base hit for Reyes.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:28 PM

But its just one a those interleague bullshit games-who cares-right? Reyes leads off with a single to right.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2006 01:28 PM

...equalling yesterday's hit output.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 01:30 PM

I already like today's Mets more than yesterday's.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:30 PM

LoDuke does his thang- doubles Reyes to third. Lets Go Mets--plate em all.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:31 PM

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 01:34 PM

There's the REAL David Wright! 2-0 Mets quickly.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:34 PM

Beltran swings at the only pitch that would result in a non productive at bat-hi heat for an infield pop out. BUT WRIGHT DOES IT RIGHT! Doubles in two!

Edgy DC Jul 01 2006 01:34 PM

...exceeding yesterday's run output. Yesterday's gone. Yesterday's gone.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:35 PM

Mr Franco does alotta jawing with the umps. He better be careful---it would be embarrassing if his false teeth popped out of his mouth.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 01:36 PM

Dear Tim. Melky Cabrera is a centerfielder playing left. -xoxo

Edgy DC Jul 01 2006 01:37 PM

Just not a very good one. Ricky Hendeson is in the house sittng next to Omar Minaya. Julio Franco is up and you know Ricky is asking why Omar signed Franco and not him.

Dammit. Portugal beats England in PKs. Now back to my regularly scheduled baseball.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:44 PM

Nice play by Trax--WHAT!??? SAFE!??

Edgy DC Jul 01 2006 01:45 PM

C'mon, Willie, Trachsel is looking for you to argue.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:46 PM

AWWWW---COMON BLU!!!!!awful call ruled a hit. Puts Trax in a hole right off the gitgo-- ugh--horrible horrible call.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:47 PM

UGH--and umpires interference keep castro from catching a foul pop---what the hells goin on here!?????

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 01:48 PM

Hah. After the ump boxes out Castro, Giambi takes strike 3 and Damon gets thrown out running by a mile.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:49 PM

HA! Mets with a strike em out throw em out DP. Guess Torre wants to assure this will be a fair game.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:54 PM

Whats the point of the diatrabe comparing Posada and Mauers batting averages? Cripes. Trachsels gets out of it,only because Posada cant hit like Maurer :)

Zvon Jul 01 2006 01:57 PM

Woodward does his job--makes Randy look like a spazz. And Castro tries to do the same :)

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 02:12 PM

I guess Randy found his slider. Suxx.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 02:15 PM

Nice play by Jeter, and McCarver turns into a vacuum cleaner.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:23 PM

OlerudOwned wrote: Nice play by Jeter, and McCarver turns into a vacuum cleaner. McCarver turned into a broken record,....a loong loong time ago. Trax in some trouble as he gives up back to back singles to Damon and Jeter to start the 3rd. I like watching Trachsel get out a these fixes.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 02:24 PM

You think they used ultimatemets for the trivia question? I got Throneberry as the answer.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:25 PM

Ugh--he walks Giambi. Bases loaded-0 out. A-Rod up. Well, this is a clutch spot so Im not worried bout him.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 02:26 PM

Put Duaner in.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:28 PM

fargin A-Rod. If he was clutch he woulda parked one there. Line single makes it 2-1 Mets.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 02:29 PM

Skanks tie it as Posada grounds into the DP. Maura wouldnt have done that.

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 02:30 PM

Posada gets doubled off which is good, but the tying run scores which is bad.

I heard something last night about Marv being one of the few players to snap a 13 game losing streak with a walkoff--back in '62 with the Mets. I think thats what they were sayin, anyway.......

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:35 PM

Randy wants nothing to do with David Wright. Walks him. Hey! You got it right O_O!

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:36 PM

Good ol Marv

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:37 PM

Mr Franco keeps it going with a smack single to left. 1st and 2nd-0 out.

SteveJRogers Jul 01 2006 02:38 PM

="Zvon"] Good ol Marv Wasn't Gene Woodling with the club first? OE: No he wasn't... Never mind

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:39 PM

Quick Quiz::::....whos running to 1st in the Marv card? HEY! that hit nady! These umps suck! Im issuing a warning to them. *Z points his finger to all 4 umps. That certain finger.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:45 PM

Im surprized i dont have a Woodling card. Guess he didnt make the cut. Mets have the bases loaded, 1 out- Castro at the plate. He rips a 2 run single! Yeaaaaaaababy.

TheOldMole Jul 01 2006 02:51 PM

Yanks have completely given up hitting the cutoff man.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:53 PM

Reyes back on track! RBI single. Carbrera in left with a horrible throw home. No error there? Runners moved up! *Z issues a warning to the official scorer Just a regular warnig this time. AND LoDUKE KNOCKS IN 2 MORE!!!! Mets up 7-2

TransMonk Jul 01 2006 02:53 PM

Unit falls apart as Mets bat around in the 4th. 7-2 Mets

Zvon Jul 01 2006 02:56 PM

Screw the enter the Sandman debate - I take offense that Eunich was allowed to wear 41 in New York.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:08 PM

="A Boy Named Seo"]And MLB.TV blacks me out now. Great. CBS Sportsline isnt a bad way to watch--if you have to and dont mind reading the game. Its amazingly quick time wise (most of the time) Game is on FOX. Trachsel with 74 pitches thru 4. How many do we get out of him?

TransMonk Jul 01 2006 03:08 PM

And they trot him back out there...if this were the NL, Randy would have been done after 4.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:14 PM

Those airodynamic helmets make tagging attempting base stealers out too easy.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 01 2006 03:20 PM

]CBS Sportsline isnt a bad way to watch--if you have to and dont mind reading the game. Its amazingly quick time wise (most of the time) Game is on FOX. Thanks, Z. I've moved on to France/Brazil. Go Mets.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:27 PM

Nice inning for Trax in the 5th. As far as his stuff goes, its lookin good today. Mets lead 7-2 going into the 6th. I wanna see em knock Randy around some more.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:31 PM

MARRERO!

="ScarletKnight41"]Nice graphic Z :) thnx SK--thats from last year. Trachsels been doin a fine job here today.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:43 PM

LoDuca leads off with a single and is now 3 for 4 on the day. Nice.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:46 PM

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:49 PM

Trachsel will continue. Mmmkay.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:55 PM

I didnt like the look of that play off the mound at all. I wont even mention that he shouldnt have tried to glove it- I just hope he aint hurt, and if you saw what he was saying under his glove, and I really couldnt, you gotta be worried that Trax may have aggravated his back problem. Damn. I sure hope this isnt the case.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 03:57 PM

Heilman will take the mound.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 04:02 PM

Jeter hits into the Pepsid double play! ewwww

Zvon Jul 01 2006 04:14 PM

Yea--now would be the time for A Rod to go yard. Mets up 8-3

ScarletKnight41 Jul 01 2006 04:22 PM

Gameday has this to say - ]New York Mets pitcher Steve Trachsel left the game due to an injured groin. This isn't good - do we have any idea how serious this is?

Zvon Jul 01 2006 04:29 PM

what you posted there is actually the 1st Ive heard of a groin problem. CBS Sportsline has this game note: ]Pitcher Steve Trachsel of the Mets left the game after suffering a possible back strain. Reports from Fox on TV say he's fine and dandy.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 04:30 PM

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2006 04:32 PM

Wait, Joe, what's this about Wagner blowing a 4-0 lead. I didn't here you the first 18 times.

Zvon Jul 01 2006 04:34 PM

WOW! Wags was lights out. Franco with the nice catch to-- OH NOESSS..Wags may have jammed his ankle! Thats all we need.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 01 2006 04:36 PM

We Win!

old original jb Jul 01 2006 04:51 PM

I feel much better now. Except for the part about Wagner maybe getting hurt. Can't a Mets fan ever just have an uneventfully nice day?

Gwreck Jul 01 2006 06:59 PM

Report from the house of evil: MFY fans too busy trying to boo down the Let's Go Mets chants to boo Slappy. Umps screwed us. McClelland took even longer to call Cap'n Intangibles safe at first than he does to call balls and strikes. I'd estimate at 75% MFY fans, 25% Mets fans, which is slightly higher than it seems to usually be in the Bronx for these games. I love being able to see the people leave after Cap'n Intangibles grounded into the double play and ask "Where are all these people going? Is there a fire? What's happening? The game's not over yet!"

seawolf17 Jul 01 2006 07:30 PM

I really used to like Tim McCarver, but he needs to just shut the hell up. He remarked today that the Yankees "have had more than their share" of injuries. Hey, Tim -- BULLSHIT. Jeter hurt? Unit? Giambi? Posada? Mussina? Damon? A-Rod? What? None of those guys has been hurt all year? They've lost two outfielders and a pitcher? That's it? Shut the F up, Tim.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2006 10:59 PM

One of the Yankee play-by-play man set Leiter up with a puffball yesterday. Going from memory... "There's been some controversy about Wagner using 'Enter Sandman' in New York. Of course there's only one Sandman. Mariano Rivera. One of the great entrances in all of sports. (Huh?) Al, you were part of that for a bit. Was there anything quite like seeing Rivera coming in to 'Enter Sandman'?" Al, apparently missing a memo, was having none of it. "Well, there was Hoffman in San Diego with 'Hell's Bells. Hoo, boy!" "...well, oh, yeah, sure."

Johnny Dickshot Jul 02 2006 12:48 AM

Anyone see Raissman's column Friday? (maybe I saw it here). Anywhoo, suggests Justice's recent YES rip-job on Arod came on orders from Steiny. Justice evidently was arguing just the opposite the other day.
