IGT - Mets at Yankees - 6/27/08 (Game 2)

KC Jun 27 2008 05:58 PM

Can't find a lineup, maybe the buses are stuck in traffic.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 06:14 PM

I'm jazzed. Put up another 15 spot, guys.

themetfairy Jun 27 2008 06:16 PM

Whew! It's a game of inches! Scoreless after half an inning.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 06:18 PM

Whew. A-Rod comes up short.

KC Jun 27 2008 06:26 PM

Zvon Jun 27 2008 06:38 PM

Nixon and Castro lead off the 2nd with singles.

KC Jun 27 2008 06:43 PM

Stranding three with no outs generally ain't a good recipe for a win.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 06:43 PM

Damn. Had bases loaded no out. Even w/Pedro one of the batters there, we should have plated a run. Well, datsAbaseball.

KC Jun 27 2008 06:46 PM

No, dats not baseball. I'd love to see the Reyes at bat again, attack the ball or grab some pine. Some- times he looks like a mope.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 06:55 PM

Was that 1st pitch swinging at shit? I think it was. I like what Delgado tried to do on that pop up bunt and I'm relieved it didn't come back to bite us.

Church is 0 for 3 w/2 K's for the Cyclones tonight. Pedro is also pitching in Brooklyn. http://www.brooklyncyclones.com/gameday/stats/index.html?autoload=boxscore&gid=2008_06_27_abeasx_broasx_1&sportcode=asx

great AB drawing the walk after fouling off a bunch.

EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS!

AG/DC Jun 27 2008 07:04 PM

Hey, Molina, at least Posada goes down on his knees for those pitches.

attgig Jun 27 2008 07:07 PM

geez, 2 straight innings with Bases loaded... So it's those mets that showed up this evening...

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:07 PM

Thougth we'd plate a run there...well...datsAbaseball.. or is it? ooo00OOeeEEEeeoo00OO

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:17 PM

Ouch. Bases skanked no out. This is gonna be a tuff one to get out of. But lets do it Pedro.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:17 PM

Respect Endy's rocket arm.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:19 PM

Woof, that was an ugly looking play.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:19 PM

Cano could not have hit a better slow, weak grounder for the RBI ground out.

AG/DC Jun 27 2008 07:20 PM

Pedro's still got the heart, man.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:22 PM

OH! Another slow weak grounder. Wright concedes the run going for the DP. He don't get it. Hmmmm. Had him at home.

KC Jun 27 2008 07:22 PM

VCF: >>>that was an ugly looking play<<< Not as ugly as that respect montage.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:23 PM

Not TOO bad... now go beat up Ponson in the bottom half.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:23 PM

themetfairy Jun 27 2008 07:23 PM

Time to get them back!

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:24 PM

Guess I'll take it. We are gonna score more than 2 runs anyways. ......right guys?

attgig Jun 27 2008 07:25 PM

we load em twice. 0 runs. they load em once. 2 runs.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:26 PM

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:28 PM

A patented Jeter-can't-get-there single up the middle.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:29 PM

lol. No love from the booth for Gregg Jefferies.

AG/DC Jun 27 2008 07:33 PM

I'll never buy into taking a pitch if the guy is running. If you like the pitch, have at it. He'll be on second by the time you swing. And taking to the point where you step out to give the catcher room to work... come on.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:41 PM

Keith, on the Yankees' lineup: "It's obviously not as good as it used to be, back in their heyday." Umm, they scored 80 runs more than anyone else last year.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:41 PM

DON'T walk Jeter! Gah, he walks him. That weak single that Pedro didn't cover for,...as a second baseman I would have dove and snatched that out of the air. Even as Delgado was jumping, I would have been going into my dive.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:42 PM

Ugh, Endy throws up the line. Forget that Ali G thing from before.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:44 PM

Take your purple lips and SIT DOWN!

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:45 PM

Did Darling just make up a new word? Comftability?

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:50 PM

I wonder on plays like that, a deep, obvious foul ball with a runner on 3rd, if you'd be better letting it fall?

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:51 PM

Giambi didn't want to walk from what I saw him swingin at, yet Martinez walks him. Nice catch by Nixon but it allows them to plate another. Well, we are gonna score more than 4 runs anyways, ......right guys?

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:53 PM

Zvon wrote: Well, we are gonna score more than 4 runs anyways, ......right guys? I'm still taking the over. This is the inning they get into that awful bullpen like raccoons in a trash bag.

Vince Coleman Firecracker wrote: I wonder on plays like that, a deep, obvious foul ball with a runner on 3rd, if you'd be better letting it fall? That wasn't all that foul from the running fielders perspective. He was just crossing the line. In this case I agree with the booth. get the out. Now if he was at the stands waiting for it to come down, thats another situation.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:55 PM

Zvon wrote: Now if he was at the stands waiting for it to come down, thats another situation. Would you let it fall then? You can set yourself for the throw home.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 07:56 PM

Rangers just took a 7-6 lead over the Phils in the 5th.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:57 PM

Whoa, Perez?

Fman99 Jun 27 2008 07:59 PM

Odd seeing O.P. warming up in the pen. I wonder if they intend on calling up Armas or someone to start Sunday's tilt instead of Ollie. But as a Mets fan you have to hope that the MFYs are putting Igawa in (also warming up). He stinks out loud.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 07:59 PM

Zvon wrote: The way Pedro was walking batters Id personally get the out / hopefully DP. Yeah, he needed an out there. He's back out for the 6th.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 08:00 PM

GARBAGE!!!! Don't give him that base, gaddammit!

Zvon Jun 27 2008 08:00 PM

Interesting. Looked like Martinez was def gonna be pulled....he starts the 6th.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jun 27 2008 08:00 PM

Buulshit- no attempt to avoid the pitch. Pedro should drill Damon.

Wow, that Wanted movie sure looks like the Matrix.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 08:05 PM

Its SHOWtime!

AG/DC Jun 27 2008 08:07 PM

I think Pedro is close. Too wild today. That should improve.

Who'd have thought, after the first game, the Mets would wind up with a neutral run differential for the day?

Zvon Jun 27 2008 08:38 PM

9-0 Skanks. UGH! Phils still down a run in the 7th. Marlins won.

Well, I'm done with this game. They're not in bad shape for the last two games- at home with Santana and Yankee Killer® Oliver Perez. 3 out of 4 and I'll be very happy.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 08:53 PM

OOO, our not so secret weapon for this series, Andy Phillips, is in for Beltran. Endy takes center, Phillips in left.

Zvon Jun 27 2008 09:03 PM

Mets have 2 on, 1 out in the 8th. Id settle for a run to break the shutout at this point.

attgig Jun 27 2008 09:05 PM

they loaded em in the second and third against ponson... there's no way the subs and bottom of the order is going to get them... yup, they didn't.

This one was tuff to sit thru. I thank you all here tonight for helping to make it bearable. Now lets go get'em tomorrow! Thats on FOX, kool. Tex beating Phils now 8-6, 8th.

themetfairy Jun 27 2008 09:24 PM

Thank YOU Zvon - games are always more entertaining when you're around (even though this one was very short on entertainment value).

Zvon Jun 27 2008 09:25 PM

Werth just hit a 9th inning Phaboom in Texas. 8-7. If they comeback I will be livid. More livid than my TV.

themetfairy Jun 27 2008 09:27 PM

Burrell's up with 2 out and Howard on deck.

Burrell doubles, and Geoff Jenkins comes in as a pinch runner. Howard's up.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 27 2008 09:45 PM

I hate how the Mets invariably cough up at least one Yankee game to some sack of shit pitcher making his first appearance (Tyler Fuckyouasshole Clippard, Dwight Whatthefuck Gooden or Sidney Suckme Ponson). Grrrrrr. And after they had all the mo.

Gwreck Jun 27 2008 10:33 PM

There was nothing redeeming whatsoever about this game. I can hardly remember more painful Shea Stadium experience that didn't involve playoff implications.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 27 2008 10:39 PM

Oh, and not to put anything past him, but Pedro pretty much sucks.

AG/DC Jun 28 2008 06:06 AM

You ever lose a game by that much and think about the break here and there that could have turned it around? It's like had the bases loaded the entire first half of the game, Pedro's not pissing me off (except when he fails to cover first) nearly as much as the hitters not plating the runs. You give a pitcher nothing to work with, givng up two and giving up six is all the same. In fact, I think they're more vulnerable to big innings because they try to be too perfect with men on base, and dig themselves in deeper.

Frayed Knot Jun 28 2008 06:42 AM

AG/DC wrote: You ever lose a game by that much and think about the break here and there that could have turned it around? Yup! Two early ABs in particular: Reyes's pop-up (bad AB) and Castro's GiDP (good AB - bad result). Also, to continue my on-line rant from the first game (and my years-long rant in private), while we were not getting it done in those ABs the Skanks were hitting balls TOO SHITTY to make outs or turn DPs. Obviously that changed later on as they started to get some real hits but the number of bad-swing/good result ABs that team gets has got to lead the planet. I know that's probably irrational but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

SteveJRogers Jun 28 2008 10:34 AM

The only thing enjoyable about that was hanging with a couple of my coworkers in various places around the place. =Gwreck] I can hardly remember more painful Shea Stadium experience that didn't involve playoff implications. What he said. BLEAH!
