Mets-Pades IV: The Search for Plural Runs (IGT - Sun 6/8)

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2008 11:23 AM

Pedro vs Aaron Ledezma (0-2, 4.43)

Benjamin Grimm Jun 08 2008 11:25 AM

My prediction: Padres 2, Mets 1.

seawolf17 Jun 08 2008 12:16 PM

Wrong Ledez(s)ma. Wilfredo Ledezma: Aaron Ledesma:

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:08 PM

Castro overslept? Ha. He was scheduled to start and he was way late. Benched and in the doghouse.

AG/DC Jun 08 2008 02:08 PM

Looks like desert camouflage this year. Are there any chicks in uniform in the Padre dugout?

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2008 02:13 PM

]Wrong Ledez(s)ma Not sure we'd hit either at this point.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2008 02:13 PM

We got nine girls in our lineup.

AG/DC Jun 08 2008 02:15 PM

Mets are all wearing high socks today. New York San Diego Reyes, ss Castillo, 2b Wright, 3b Beltran, cf Easley, lf Delgado, 1b Casanova, c Chavez, rf Martinez, p Gerut, cf Gonzalez, E., 2b Giles, rf Gonzalez, A., 1b Kouzmanouf, 3b McAnulty, lf Greene, ss Carlin, c Ledezma, p

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2008 02:18 PM

We got our run. Now Pedro and the defense have to hold them there.

AG/DC Jun 08 2008 02:18 PM

One.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2008 02:19 PM

Three

AG/DC Jun 08 2008 02:20 PM

My word!

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:20 PM

Leave it to Easley. RBI single. AND A TRIBOOM BY DEGADO! WOOT!

AG/DC Jun 08 2008 02:22 PM

I'm going to go ahead and guess that you don't have pre-made graphics for when Delgado triples.

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:23 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 08 2008 02:24 PM

Now thats the way to start a ballgame.

Why is Maddux always wearing a catcher's mitt in the dugout?

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2008 02:29 PM

Endy woke up this morning and got himself a gun

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:29 PM

WHAT A THROW BY ENDY!

AG/DC Jun 08 2008 02:30 PM

Secret weapon, huh?

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:32 PM

Damn, they are hitting Pedro with ease. I see some movement on his fastball but its flat and in the zone. Go with the slider Pedro.

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:33 PM

Ugh, he hits Kooz. bases camoed

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:34 PM

NO! Balks in a run.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2008 02:36 PM

I hat the mets

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:39 PM

They say thats Martinez's 2nd balk in the last ten years. Do you think he was crossed up w/ Casanova and thats why he hesitated? I gotta blame Castro. 3-3 Mets.

KC Jun 08 2008 02:46 PM

I think Keith was out with Castro last night, he's said like a half dozen things wrong so far through one and a half (including the short pre-game).

Rockin' Doc Jun 08 2008 02:48 PM

Mets again threatening in the second. Need to cash in some more runs.

Rockin' Doc Jun 08 2008 02:50 PM

The Mets double steal pays off as Castillo hits a sac fly to plate Endy. Reyes 90 feet from home.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 08 2008 02:51 PM

Is there a reason Castro's not playing? Has he started a game this dreadful series even?

Zvon Jun 08 2008 02:52 PM

That double steal was sweet. Mets plate one, was hoping for more. 4-3 Metsies. *anyone else's internets slow?

Zvon Jun 08 2008 03:02 PM

Ha! Nice inning by Martinez. Strikes out 3 with a single squeezed in that I kinda think Castillo shoulda grabbed. But he wanted Pedro to K the side so Ill let it slide.

Rockin' Doc Jun 08 2008 03:02 PM

I'm still a little confused on how Castro could oversleep and be so late to the park. Does Castro stay in a seperate hotel from the remainder of the team or something?

Zvon Jun 08 2008 03:06 PM

Easley does it. Nice bloop hit and he hustles it into a double. Drive him in Dads

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2008 03:09 PM

Rockin' Doc wrote: I'm still a little confused on how Castro could oversleep and be so late to the park. Does Castro stay in a seperate hotel from the remainder of the team or something? Many of these newer downtown ballparks the hotels are within walking distance and it's pretty much up to the players to get themselves there. Even when there is a team bus - like from Manhattan hotels out to Shea - it's not required that one be on it as long as you get to the park on time via some other method. Lots of players will cab or even subway themselves out there. I can imagine football coaches blowing a gasket at just the thought of players not taking a team-arranged transport.

Rockin' Doc Jun 08 2008 03:16 PM

Thanks Knot. I guess I just thought that when on the road, the team would travel over to the ballpark together. Petco Park is within easy walking distance from numerous hotels in San Diego.

Zvon Jun 08 2008 03:23 PM

I think Pedro's gettin his groove back. Gets 3 fly outs after a lead off single. Nice.

KC Jun 08 2008 03:26 PM

Reyes doubles to start off the fourth. Ya wanna wear commando? We brought some too ... http://www.kcmets.com/Ramones/commando.m4a

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2008 03:26 PM

Also gone are the days of roommates in hotels on the road so you can't even rely on your buddy to wake you up if you over-drink ... I mean sleep.

Rockin' Doc Jun 08 2008 03:31 PM

Luis Castillo, RBI machine.

Zvon Jun 08 2008 03:31 PM

Wright is swingin at shit and lettin some fat ones go by. Gotta be in a funk. Mets plate another as Reyes and Castillo come thru. 5-3 US

Zvon Jun 08 2008 03:45 PM

Whew. Giles almost hits a 3 run homer, but Endy forces it down at the warning track. So they get one back on a Gerut rbingle. Watch where you use that fastball Pedro. They are pwning it.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 08 2008 03:52 PM

Delgado's almost sorta heating up.

KC Jun 08 2008 03:56 PM

Gotta wonder about Pedro's approach at the plate that last AB, I even wonder about why he's up I guess. If he doesn't get through the sixth or barely through the seventh was it worth it - leaving two guys on and Reyes on deck? He ain't exactly got bat.

Zvon Jun 08 2008 03:57 PM

Couldnt getErDun. Still 5-4 mets. Ill give a lil 5th inning quiz: Whose the only player in MLB history to wear his birthday on his back?

Zvon Jun 08 2008 04:05 PM

Whew. Another 2 out drive to the wall. We are dodging bullets this afternoon.

Rockin' Doc Jun 08 2008 04:15 PM

My initial thought was Eddie Gaedel, but after looking him up I see that he wasn't born on January 8th (1/8).

Rockin' Doc wrote: Zvon - "WHAT A CATCH BY EASLEY! ALA 54'WILLIE MAYS!" I hate "watching" games on MLB Gameday. It was a gapper that he caught up to and snagged as it went over his head, arms outstretched, hugging the wall. So he wasn't going straight back like Mays. But the fact that it was in the gap and he had to get there, and the wall was so close...I dunno. Might top Willies classic catch. nah. No one on.

KC Jun 08 2008 04:31 PM

Or even CAPS and exclamation points so ... but nice. Mays? I'm getting grumpy, I smell a disappointing loss.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 08 2008 04:42 PM

Who is that guy and what have they done with Carlos Delgado? Is he a homer away from a cycle?

Rockin' Doc Jun 08 2008 04:44 PM

Am I reading this right? Did Endy "drive" Delgado in with a two out drag bunt single?

KC Jun 08 2008 04:48 PM

It pains me to say so, but yes.

HahnSolo Jun 08 2008 04:48 PM

Yup. Show in now, and with a leadoff single, the good Gonzalez is up as the tying run.

6, so far. Pay attention.

Mr Wright says "No icing for you!"

Rockin' Doc Jun 08 2008 05:01 PM

KC - "It pains me to say so, but yes." I like the result, but I'm not too happy with the thought.

Zvon Jun 08 2008 05:03 PM

Pop fly double, misplayed by Reyes imo. That was catchable. Would have been a very nice play, but it should have been an out.

Sanchez walks a Pad with one out. 1st and 2nd. Wags may be on early.

Zvon Jun 08 2008 05:10 PM

BIG K by Sanchez. And Wags will get the call here. So whose that player from my quiz? Answer will be given mid 9th.

Gakking a four-game series to the Braves is one thing. But to do this to the stinking Padres is just inexcusable.

Zvon Jun 08 2008 05:24 PM

Awful. SWEPT by these pathetic Pads. Phils won, and are on fire. Mets fall to 7 1/2 games out. Just awful.

bmfc1 Jun 08 2008 05:24 PM

This is what I wrote this morning and I think that it's even truer right now: The last three nights, I've stayed up until 1 to watch our team. This is quite an accomplishment, as I get up at 4:45 during the week, but it's not as big an accomplishment as scoring a total of three runs in three games to a lousy team. I'm pissed off at myself for letting myself believe again after they won 7 of 10, but I'm more pissed off at the management of the team for letting things get this way. I would feel sorry for the Wilpons--after all, they are the ones writing big checks for this lousy performance--but then I remember that they mishandled the WR situation on Memorial Day. They didn't fire him, they didn't give him a "vote of confidence", they just let him be. He sat Delgado for a day--wow, what balls!--and the press thought that Willie was going to manage by a new set of rules from now on. Instead, he's the same milquetoast personality who sends up Robinson Cancel, who hasn't had an AB in the majors since 1999, in a big spot when he has the decent Ramon Castro on the bench. And where was Willie when Santana got hit by a pitch but didn't get to take first base because the ump said that he offered at the pitch? How about showing some fire? Your team is sucking, your billion dollar pitcher gets hit, and you mildly argue? Are you kidding? Willie says that a big argument isn't his style but his style isn't winning enough games. I would feel sorry for the Wilpons but they are the ones that brought us a GM who has done nothing this season to help the team. The Mets are supposed to WIN NOW and yet, in the last three days, we have seen Abraham Nunez, Robinson Cancel, and Raul Casanova come to bat in clutch situations. And Fernando Tatis, who wasn't even good enough to get a call up to the team last September, is almost a regular. Other teams make trades to help our team, our GM uses the unemployment line. I would feel sorry for David Wright, Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes, who are better than the team, but where we they late in the game? Watching curves go by. but also sitting on the bench sulking. Stop crying, get up, and cheer on your teammates. I feel sorry for all the Mets fans who were loud and proud in SD last night; I feel sorry for us for believing and not being rewarded. The rest of them can go to hell. At least until 4 PM today.

What a cockpunch of a weekend that was. Holy hell.

AG/DC Jun 08 2008 07:58 PM

The worst part --- the worst part about being me, Hobson --- is that this sweep was so much like our 2007 collapse. We generally got the first lead, and then started playing to hold it rather than tack on. And, of course, we failed to hold it. Willie's bullpen moves seemed alternately overly cool and overly panicky, with none of the penners aware of a clear role for themselves. Peeps are playing afraid.

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2008 08:22 PM

This was truly a weird game - not to mention Murphy's Law all over the place. - Virtually every Padre hit (until Clark's of course) was either a bloop or seeing eye. They had a ton of hits but they were all singles until the 8th when they got that bloop "double" and then Clark's HR. Many of the outs were harder hit than the "safes" all game long. - Two plays that weren't made (three really) cost us runs: 1) Delgado getting caught between hops and not getting the out at 1st 2) Reyes getting turned around on that bloop 3) Home ump Laz Diaz not calling Clark out on the 2-2 pitch (looked good on the overhead shot) My only solace is that I don't think it can get any worse.
