Adam Rubin has the lineup for the good guys: Reyes, ss Castillo, 2b Wright, 3b Beltran, cf Delgado, 1b Church, rf Chavez, lf Schneider, c Perez, lhp

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2008 09:12 AM

Yay Church

KC Jun 29 2008 10:24 AM

Damon lf Jeter ss Rodriguez 3b Posada 1b Betemit 2b Cabrera cf Molina c Christian rf Rasner p

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2008 10:28 AM

The bottom 5 of that MFY lineup indicates we oughta win this one.

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 10:53 AM

This is the TBS game of the week for you non-NYers Girardi loading up on the righties against Ollie - Abreu, Cano & Giambi are sitting with Damon as the only LH starter. Gives them a lot of bench for later on. Be nice to smack Rasner around and make all that meaningless

Zvon Jun 29 2008 11:11 AM

Im hoping for a "GAH!" free game.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 11:14 AM

Pinstripes with black caps? FIRE THE GUY WHO DRESSES EM!

Zvon Jun 29 2008 11:24 AM

Man, Wrights just missing quite a few this series. Another to the wall. Lets get Reyes home.

bmfc1 Jun 29 2008 11:29 AM

Boy does Castillo suck. Good thing this is his walk year. Oh yeah.

bmfc1 Jun 29 2008 11:30 AM

Meanwhile, Moron Chip Carey, spawn of Moron Skip Carey, is doing play-by-play for TBS. He called the pitching mound "the bump." What, there aren't enough cliches and slang terms in baseball, he has to make up his own?

Zvon Jun 29 2008 11:30 AM

Another wasted opportunity. Lowlight: Castillo looking for a ball and gets rung up on a pitch off the outside corner.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 11:36 AM

Wow. I know this is Perez and this could change at any time, but he is throwing some excellent pitches these first two innings. Im talkin WICKED.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 11:44 AM

Zvon Jun 29 2008 11:53 AM

YEA! Castillo slaps one home.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 11:55 AM

Guess I'll take the one run. Better than none. 1-0 Mets after two.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 12:06 PM

Wow. Perez with 5 Ks thru 3. I'd have to say the little changes to his windup have made a difference. *crosses fingers

Zvon Jun 29 2008 12:09 PM

DELGADO!

Zvon Jun 29 2008 12:18 PM

lol. Delgado's shot broke the scoreboard. 2-0 Mets after 3 complete.

themetfairy Jun 29 2008 12:21 PM

So much for the perfecto :(

Zvon Jun 29 2008 12:22 PM

Jeter gets the Skanks first hit. Most GAH! worthy. GAH!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2008 12:25 PM

classic showdown vs gayrod here.

bmfc1 Jun 29 2008 12:27 PM

Wow! Way to go Ollie!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2008 12:27 PM

Fantastic whiff. Wow.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 12:29 PM

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: classic showdown vs gayrod here. That was! YEA! Once Perez got focused there, from the stretch, he went bulldog on A-Rod.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 12:56 PM

I've been up in that scoreboard Gary, and as far as I know that ladder is the only way up. Course this was way before they had that skyline up there.

SteveJRogers Jun 29 2008 01:08 PM

That works. Not watching the action, how is the rain at this point?

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:08 PM

Interesting advice from Warthen to Perez in regards to his release point. Because trying to be conscious of that during your delivery must be distracting. Perez getting slapped around a lil bit here in the 6th. Lil bit. He gets Jeter to hit into the force to end the 6th and its 2-0 Mets.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2008 01:09 PM

We let Rasner off way too easy.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:09 PM

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:11 PM

We need to win this one just so bmfc1 doesn't fly into full-fledged rant mode.

SteveJRogers Jun 29 2008 01:12 PM

The Mets need to get this one so I don't have to deal with my co-workers tommorow!

bmfc1 Jun 29 2008 01:14 PM

Frayed Knot wrote: We need to win this one just so bmfc1 doesn't fly into full-fledged rant mode. Yeesh. Was yesterday's rant that memorable?

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:16 PM

Nah, just reacting to your early game comments in this one.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:17 PM

What a difference a day makes in regards to Reyes. Good at bats, couple-a hits, a walk. Castillo singles him to second. Lets see what he does here, with Wright up. Don't even....

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:18 PM

haHAha. Wild pitch negates all concern.

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:19 PM

btw, that cheezy infield single we got from Luis for the first run means that now we're only trailing in that category about 9 to 1 this weekend.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:19 PM

Nice! Wright lifts one to right for the sac fly. DatsAbaseball.

bmfc1 Jun 29 2008 01:19 PM

Hi Steve--insulting a member of the Carey family is an automatic reaction for me. And Castillo's lengthy contract is an easy target. I thought yesterday's post-game rant was pretty mean: "Church was ready but the genius that runs the team didn't activate him today b/c a lefty was starting... as a result, Tatis batted in the 9th instead of Church coming in as a PH. Oh yeah, Andy Phillips was available. Great, great moves Omar. Why doesn't he sign Shawn Chacon and any other piece of crap that has been released this week?"

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:30 PM

Perez's 100th pitch of the day gets CRUSHED by Betemit. 3-1

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:31 PM

OMG. I see two errors on that play,lol.

themetfairy Jun 29 2008 01:31 PM

Fuck - we should have been out of the inning :(

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:32 PM

$@(%#! Do NOT let this run score!!!

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:34 PM

No further damage - but those little shenanigans means they'll get the middle of the order up again in the 9th.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:36 PM

Whew. Nice outing Oliver. Enjoyed watching you pitch, really enjoyed watching you bat cuz your funny at the plate. Brings the same intensity to the plate.

bmfc1 Jun 29 2008 01:37 PM

On TBS, the "Viagra Moment That Changed the Game" was Game 5, 2000 WS. Ugh.

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:37 PM

Delgado - Church - Chavez Yanx are bringing in their LH reliever ... oh wait, they don't have one!!

SteveJRogers Jun 29 2008 01:38 PM

David Robertson has no MLB.com photo!

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:42 PM

Well he's been in the major leagues for all of 20 minutes 12 hits, 3 runs.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:44 PM

Not only is Church back, but hitting the ball like he hasn't missed a beat. Has hit it hard 3 of his 4 times up, for 2 hits. And one of those two hits was the one time he didn't hit it hard. Nice to see him return.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2008 01:44 PM

friggin schneider

KC Jun 29 2008 01:44 PM

Actually, Steve has a picture of him and wants to know why MLB doesn't :-)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2008 01:46 PM

I'll come right out and say it: I'm scared for this lead, and this game.

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:50 PM

]They take photos of everyone on a 40 man roster, see the 25 man roster thread here 1) That you know that scares me 2) He wasn't on the 40-man until yesterday If nothing else I like our OF defense as it is now.

Stevie Jeets has commissioned an oil painting.

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:53 PM

Nice job PF! Billy vs Jeter, ARod, Posada in the 9th. Ummm, how 'bout around 6 runs before we get there?

Zvon Jun 29 2008 01:54 PM

Excellent 8th inning by Feliciano.

themetfairy Jun 29 2008 01:56 PM

How about some insurance?

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 01:58 PM

I guess Manual preferred a lefty PH against one of the Yanqui RH relievers instead of Tatis so no double-switch ... although I suspect if Willie did the same he'd get criticized for not knowing HOW.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 02:02 PM

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2008 02:12 PM

Never in doubt! (yeah suuuuuure)

themetfairy Jun 29 2008 02:12 PM

Whew!

Zvon Jun 29 2008 02:12 PM

YAY! Ill consider this a 4 game series and I'm happy with the split.

SteveJRogers Jun 29 2008 02:12 PM

In the books.

themetfairy Jun 29 2008 02:13 PM

4-2 on the season series :)

SteveJRogers Jun 29 2008 02:14 PM

First time since 2004. Not that its much consolation considering the season so far.

bmfc1 Jun 29 2008 02:14 PM

Yea for us! The Mets with the only home win in the six games. G-Fafif saw a good one today. Too bad MGIM wasn't there.

themetfairy Jun 29 2008 02:18 PM

Gary was just talking about Good Ollie pitching today I swear he lurks here.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 02:24 PM

Not to be unrealistic but I'd like to really really see us take 3 of 4 from the Cards. I think tomorrow nights game is on ESPN so Ill see ya's here.

Zvon Jun 29 2008 02:25 PM

KC Jun 29 2008 02:26 PM

SJ: >>>Not that its much consolation considering the season so far<<< Yeah, no way your guys are catching the Sawx.

G-Fafif Jun 29 2008 03:48 PM

I hereby dedicate the final win by the Mets over the MFYs in the history of Shea Stadium to Mets Guy in Michigan who was in my thoughts when Billy closed the deal. Through the good graces of Met Fairy, I was at the game with a fairly magical group: my wife getting her first SS game; my friend Richie who was with me for Matt Franco; and my friend Rob who had an MGIM problem dating back to 1998 where Mets-MFYs games were concerned. He and I saw them lose the first one (Rojas v. O'Neill), saw them lose at MFYS II in 2000 (13-5), he saw them lose yesterday and there were probably some others in between. It was good to watch the monkey crumble off his back. For Rob, for Dave (MGIM), for all of us. Good job Metsies.

themetfairy Jun 29 2008 04:10 PM

I'm glad you brought the good Karma to the game today. I knew that it was important to make sure that the seats went to worthy Mets fans :)

AG/DC Jun 29 2008 04:34 PM

="KC"]SJ: >>>Not that its much consolation considering the season so far<<< Yeah, no way your guys are catching the Sawx. And I chum.

KC Jun 29 2008 04:53 PM

I ain't throwing chum into the water, I'm being the shark. And besides, Jeets knows I can be a dick from time to time. Different thing from what you're referring to entirely, AG - and I didn't mean all that much by it at the time for you to throw it in my face.

AG/DC Jun 29 2008 05:00 PM

Of course. I don't mean nothing either. Ugh, chum in the face.

SteveJRogers Jun 29 2008 06:19 PM

="KC"]SJ: >>>Not that its much consolation considering the season so far<<< Yeah, no way your guys are catching the Sawx. EHEM! Bright side of course IS that the Phillies aren't running away with the division, so a great showing this weekend and the Metsies should be in business headed towards the AS break.

="Frayed Knot"] ="Zvon"]Ill consider this a 4 game series and I'm happy with the split. I wanted 3 this weekend -- but overall I consider this a 6-game series and am happy with the 4 of 6 I'm kinda dissatisfied myself. Four games against the MFYs; in three of them we face Geise, Ponson and Rasner; and in the fourth we face Pettitte but oppose him with Johan F. Santana. Jeez, we coulda had all 4. (John Sterling) Well Suzyn, that's baseball! As soon as somebody tells you they have it all figured out, they don't! Thuh-uhhhhh pitch... (/John Sterling)
