IGT Pods @ Mets 8/6/08

TransMonk Aug 06 2008 05:39 PM

Late start on the IGT here. Mets down 2-1 going to the bottom of 2.

metirish Aug 06 2008 05:49 PM

Murphy looking good at the plate again, Castillo will play nine tonight and Jerry says he'll have to fight for playing time....

Rockin' Doc Aug 06 2008 05:51 PM

Pedro gives up a homer to Gerut to open the game. After getting an out, Pedro quickly surrenders another bomb, this time to Giles.

TransMonk Aug 06 2008 05:54 PM

Pedro has looked great since the 2 bombs, though. We'll see what he has in innings 5 and 6 which, along with the first, have been his trouble innings. We need some runs, O.

Rockin' Doc Aug 06 2008 05:54 PM

metirish - "Castillo will play nine tonight and Jerry says he'll have to fight for playing time...." Too bad he can't pitch like Relaford.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 05:59 PM

Hey, check it out! 2-1!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2008 06:19 PM

Though I might have preferred a triple, Murph's bunt single wasn't a terrible idea. Took a very nice play by Baek to get him. Anyway, Schneider.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 06:22 PM

Intentionally walking Schneider to pitch to Pedro was pretty funny. First and third here, but the pitcher up. Play up or back at short and second?

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 06:29 PM

Dan Warthan needs a new number. He goes to the mound, and I get thoughts of Guillermo Mota.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 06:32 PM

Pedro pitches out of it, despite getting some squeezage by Bruce Dreckman. He's got an ERA under six (yeah!) and 79 pitches through five. There's a chance he could go two more.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 06:34 PM

Leadoff single by Reyes. Jerry, don't bunt, and I'll send you, um, this licorice.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2008 06:36 PM

I'll be home with the gasoline You'll be stoned, you'll be far away

metirish Aug 06 2008 06:40 PM

Wright gets doubled off at first base, forgot how many outs there were....Christ.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 06:40 PM

Murphy and Wright on the bases seems to equal bad news these days.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2008 06:43 PM

I think Wright had too many Molly Beers before this series.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 06:55 PM

Uhhh, typically I'm all good with sending the pitcher up here. But considering he's going one more inning, tops, I dunno.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 06:56 PM

Hey, Pedro, run, you girly man!

TransMonk Aug 06 2008 06:58 PM

I'm alright with it if he gets through this inning. This has been his best start this season and I'm not quite ready to hand it to the bullpen.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 06 2008 06:59 PM

Sending Pedro back out? His longest start of the season, I think. Good for him!

TransMonk Aug 06 2008 07:03 PM

A leadoff double gets the bullpen anyways. Good outing by Pedro...and yes his longest of the season.

Dude, it re-runs at 11!

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 07:07 PM

Yeah, alright if he gets through the inning. But, as we see, big if.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 07:08 PM

I'd've liked Smith against Gonzalez here.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2008 07:11 PM

Take a fucking day off David.

Oh, blammit.

Give me Murphy On grass or turphy

TransMonk Aug 06 2008 07:20 PM

Can we pinch run for Wright? SC=86

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2008 07:22 PM

He's not having a good week. Baserunning blunders on two consecutive nights and was oh-fer-15 coming into this game.

KC Aug 06 2008 07:33 PM

sea: And married life means we're watching Project Effing Runway<<< KB loves that crap, thankfully we like never watch tv in the same room un- less we're watching a movie together.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2008 07:33 PM

Well that's going to disappoint all those fans who had already named Kunz as replacement closer.

seawolf17 Aug 06 2008 07:38 PM

Well, we didn't need to call Kunz up from AA. Aaron Heilman could have done that.

TransMonk Aug 06 2008 07:39 PM

C'mon, FK...everybody knows that you should never put a closer in a non-save situation.

holychicken Aug 06 2008 07:41 PM

Why do the Mets have to give up 6 HR in two games to probably the weakest offense in the league? Seriously? Come on. . . they're killing me here.

3 outs to get 2 runs or more. Ain't nothing but a thing.

If Castro is capable, but Jerry wanted to keep it lefty/righty, then he's not as smart as he thinks he is.

I was out running and having the same thoughts. Then I thought: Gerut, Hairston. Giles. Where do we get off not trying to get any one of these guys, if only to have as a guy to use in that situation. We are punchless, hopeless, and Jerry's beginning to look like a guy I'd prefer not return next year.

metirish Aug 06 2008 08:32 PM

Tony Bernazard will want his own guy to manage when he becomes the apple of Jeff Wilpon's eye.

Gwreck Aug 06 2008 09:10 PM

I really thought they would come back tonight. --- Took my folks to what'll probably be their last game at Shea. My father is a Tigers fan and my mother rooted for the Royals some, but they moved to New York before having kids. Shea plays a large in my baseball upbringing: they of course took me to my first game there, and we'd continue to go at least once a year (sometimes more often). After about age 7, my dad suggested that I could just skip having a birthday party and instead take a couple of my friends to Shea with us to see a game, a tradition that continued for several years and fostered a deep friendship (and mutual love of the Mets) with one of my best friends. At Shea, my dad taught me what to watch for at the game and how to appreciate the intracices of the matchups. He's the one who taught me how to get bargains from the scalpers (back in the crappy years) and how to keep score (something I still do at almost every game). Looking back, I can't help but be grateful as to how well they raised me: they kept me from being a Yankees fan; they took me to the games from an early age, and taught me how to really love and apprecate it. Was nice to get one more in at Shea with them.

Nice job Gwreck. Cherish your parents.

AG/DC Aug 06 2008 10:37 PM

I may be in denial here, but I'm thinking Castro wasn't answering the bell tonight.

Anybody else noticing that he's wearing a little extra weight? I mean, what's more of a dead giveaway than always partying with his shirt untucked? None, there is none more dead of a giveaway.

OlerudOwned Aug 07 2008 12:46 AM

Completely blah game that moved to a level of profound dissatisfaction for me because I know it was my last trip to Shea.

I just knew that the All Star break wold be a pain in the arse for this team , been playing like rubbish since then. There was a bit in the Snooze today saying not to expect Church back this season.
