IGT - Subway Series I - Game 3

Kid Carsey May 20 2007 04:53 PM

Boston got a late start on the spankin', but they're taking care of the Braves again. If that holds up, and the Mets can sweep, ol' Steingrabber might just have an embolism tomorrow morning.

The Tigers have completed a sweep over the Cards in their World Series rematch. The Brews, since losing two of three to us'm, have lost three of four to the Phils and two of three to the Twinks. If we finish this thing, a statement will have been made. We'll be the top team in the league and the hottest team in the league.

Maines first 3 pitches had me thinkin uh-oh. But then he gets Damon to pop up. I see some good movement on that fastball :)

K-Rod :) Matsui's double is wasted in the 1st. Mets lead, 0-0.

Yup, still feel bad. Editing: Ok, feel better about the K for Eye Chart.

Edgy DC May 20 2007 06:36 PM

Mets top starter against an unknown for the Yanks (as Mientkiewicz fans). Over-confidence is always bad, but we can't ask to be in a better position.

Kid Carsey May 20 2007 06:50 PM

That's Volare, and it doesn't belong at Shea but rather Yankee Stadium imho.

OlerudOwned May 20 2007 06:51 PM

Joe Morgan just quoted Mike Tyson. Just something inherently funny about that.

Zvon May 20 2007 06:51 PM

Easleys been a pleasant surprise :) His pop makes them decide on the int walk-clears the pitcher--and then Clip walks Maine. Luvin it. Hope Reyes looks better this AB.

No way the Skanks would get away with voiding Roid Boy's contract.

Ok, Cheater Jeter has made the bad feeling return..

Zvon May 20 2007 07:00 PM

Watching Johnny Damon in this series,..oh my, how his abilities have deteriorated. And I know he never had a good arm, but that throw to the plate on the tag yesterday, on a shallow fly...oh my. I thought to myself how can a MLB centerfielder not be able to make a decent throw there. Jeter rips a double down the left field line w/one out.

John Miller just said that Jeter usually hits 20 homers a year. Jeter has 3 20-home run seasons in his career. He averages 16ish. Next time maybe do a little research.

Rockin' Doc May 20 2007 07:50 PM

Posada is a free agent this winter. The better his season, the more money he'll cost Steinbrenner. I hope he has a good season, while the Yankees suck. Then his agent extorts an obscene amount of cash from Steinbrenner in the offseason.

Johnny Dickshot May 20 2007 07:52 PM

Any play resulting in Mientkiewicz leading off an inning is a good play IMO. Gomez prolly has the most history v. Cippard here. Willie PH him?

You crave attention --- you can never say no Throw your affections anyway the wind blows You always make it --- youre on top of the scene You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine Puttin' on the eyes 'til theres nobody else!

Everybody needs you...! leads you...! bleeds you!

You cant escape the hours --- you lose track of the days! The more you understand, seems the more like you do! You never get away... ...everybody wants you!

Geddy, I need you. Sprawling on the fringes of the city In geometric order An insulated border In between the bright lights And the far unlit unknown Growing up it all seems so one-sided Opinions all provided The future pre-decided Detached and subdivided In the mass production zone Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone Subdivisions In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out Subdivisions In the basement bars In the backs of cars Be cool or be cast out Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth Drawn like moths we drift into the city The timeless old attraction Cruising for the action Lit up like a firefly Just to feel the living night Some will sell their dreams for small desires Or lose the race to rats Get caught in ticking traps And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights... Subdivisions In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out Subdivisions In the basement bars In the backs of cars Be cool or be cast out Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth

Franco's going to be 50 by the time he gets that bat through the zone. Should've mentioned that Scutar-Power only applies to second basemen.

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere I told you everything I possibly can There's nothing left inside of here And maybe you can cry all night But that'll never change the way I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldn't make me leave here I poured it on and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much I care I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout But you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears And all I can do is keep on telling you I want you I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach You'll never drill for oil on a city street I know you're looking for a ruby In a mountain of rocks But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box I can't lie I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not No matter how I try I'll never be able to give you something Something that I just haven't got There's only one girl that I will ever love And that was so many years ago And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart She never loved me back, ooh I know I remember how she left me on a stormy night She kissed me and got out of our bed And though I pleaded and I begged her Not to walk out that door She packed her bags and turned right away And she kept on telling me She kept on telling me She kep on telling me I want you I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere

agreed Doc. Aint bad at all. And Atl lost. But I just had a horrible night fantasy baseball wise here_ Maines one of my starters, Rivera one of my closers. Got bad stuff from both. :(

Johnny Dickshot May 20 2007 09:35 PM

Eh. I'm dissatisfied. Nice win Friday but the offense didn't really show up. Yesterday we got off to a huge lead only to see 'em ruin thousands of perfectly good Fruit of the Looms. Tonighht we got neither pitching nor hitting.

Just attempting some humor by referencing an old thread (which must have been on EZBoard because I can't find it). Short story: Mets down by 5 at the Phillies and Cliff Floyd hits a three-run homer. Most of us are like "Yay Mets" but one cranky dude put Floyd on notice for killing the rally.

Decided yesterday to go tonight -- last game of the homestand, chance for the sweep -- oops. The three critical moments -- in increasing order of importance -- in the game: 3. Reyes striking out looking in the 7th with 2nd and 3rd. Last/best chance to get back in the game. 2. Reys flying out in the 2nd with bases loaded. We shoulda touched up Clippard for about 4 runs that inning. 1. Maine walks Mientkiewicz on FOUR PITCHES with one out in the top of the 4th. Sorry, but you have to throw Mientkiewicz a fucking strike in that situation. He makes an out, you've got the pitcher due up next and you can get out of the inning. No excuse there. 7-3 homestand is good, considering that we'd basically been .500 at home previously. Misc. The Yankees did not "retake" New York with a win tonight. That's just silly. Assuming (and that's a very big assumption) that the Yankees rebound this year and make the playoffs, tonight will not be the turning point. That's somewhere far beyond silly.

the homestand and the series went well. i agree that walking Ordon...i mean mientkiewicz on 4 pitches is atrocious.

So fucking true......not that I beleive it Joe Morgan is a riot,anything can happen when a team makes the playoffs,but he doesn't believe it's a crap shoot...that would mean agreeing with Billy Beane. It's nights like last night I wish Seaver were around to explain a pitchers motion...

Doc giving props to BAT OUT OF HELL...! Just keep winning each series, boys. They all add up.

Centerfield May 21 2007 01:18 PM

Did you guys hear Joe Morgan's ridiculous discussion about Farnsworth's comments regarding Clemens. In Joe's opinion, Farnsworth had every right to say what he said as a member of the team, but since he doesn't know Clemens and has never played with him like some of the other guys, he really shouldn't have said what he said. After all, Joe Torre asked people on the team about it and Farnsworth doesn't matter because he's not a significant member of the team. And Torre through his experience, would never do anything to cause division within a team because he knows everyone matters.

metirish May 21 2007 01:21 PM

Yeah I thought that whole Fransworth thing was BS,Gammons fairly hammeered him for speaking up...wasn't he the one who said Fransworth was not a significant part of the team.

Edgy DC May 21 2007 01:32 PM

He showed up at the end of February while Roger stayed home and watched TV, right?

I'm more concerned over consecutive ineffective outings by Maine than I am by a failure to finish off a sweep of the Yankees. But I'm not overly concerned about Maine yet either. He's entitled to a down spell, and I'd rather he have it now than in September or October.
