IGT - 8/12 - Mets (Santana) vs. Nationals (Perez)

Centerfield Aug 12 2008 07:46 AM

Time for the Mets to get the bad taste out of their mouths after having blown the lead, then me, then Vic. Blech. The good news is that the Phils lost last night so no ground was lost. And we're playing the last-place Nationals, and we always beat the last place Nationals.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 12 2008 07:52 AM

As relayed in the Snooze today with lefty Odalis Perez going for the Nats, look for Castro to start or else reside deeper in Manuel's doghouse. Apparently, the medical staff doesn't think Castro's ankle is bad enough to warrant the disabled list, but Castro tells Jerry he's unable to go, and Jerry tells the media that Castro's a pussy.

Poor Vic. Third.

i'm not complaining.

Delgado knocks in Evans and Beltran...2 - 0 Mets.

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 05:27 PM

Keep it coming.

metirish Aug 12 2008 05:29 PM

Keith complaining about being up in the rafters of National Stadium , Zimmerman gets the Nats on the board , 2 - 1 Mets.

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 05:32 PM

Three hits in a row. That happens once a month for Washington.

metirish Aug 12 2008 05:37 PM

Tied ball game.....they are slapping Santana around. Gary took a shot at Castro tonight when giving the line up....." Castro feeling better after Cancel hit a home run yesterday"..

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 05:55 PM

I love it when Keith gets all highfalutin and starts referencing Verdi.

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2008 05:58 PM

Verdi and Custer referemces in the same game.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 06:00 PM

That was a great fuckin' play by Willie Harris. Didn't he make a great play against us in another game recently? Maybe as a Brave?

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 06:06 PM

Yup, as a Brave. Couldn't catch that liner by Beltran, though. Nice recovery rally, Mets.

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2008 06:08 PM

Would have been a monster inning if not for that catch. Of course the fact that Reyes was on in the first place was a bit of a gift.

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 06:13 PM

Infield hits by Reyes are the type of luck that's the residue of design.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 12 2008 06:27 PM

Is Johan not too sharp tonight? I see he hasn't walked anybody, but the hits seem high.

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 06:32 PM

Well, he just walked Belliard. But then he avenged Harris by getting him to ground into a double play. Santana doesn't necessarily need his best stuff. He's like Billy Mitchell. He always has a plan.

Nymr83 Aug 12 2008 07:03 PM

Castro shows why he's in the dog house

apmorris Aug 12 2008 07:04 PM

Hey guys, checkin' in.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:09 PM

Do we need the fucking Edge commercial twice in the same break, SNY?

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 07:09 PM

Hey, Governor Morris. Santana hanging in there.

metirish Aug 12 2008 07:18 PM

Game tied , I blame Buckhardt , every time he's on something happens.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:18 PM

Fucking hell. At least he can't blame Heilman for this one. (Yet.)

metirish Aug 12 2008 07:22 PM

Gary gives some not so good sounding stats that basically tell us that this team sucks after the first inning.

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 07:22 PM

I blame the team. Can't be scoring three runs against this staff and expect Santanta to carry you home. Twenty five players to win.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 12 2008 07:29 PM

Something happening here! Two on and none out. C'mon Carlos, push at least one across!

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 07:35 PM

At-bat of hugeness coming up.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:38 PM

And Old Man Hernandez is ranting again. "BACK IN MY DAY, the umpires never conferred! They stood by their decisions!"

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:38 PM

Manny Acta doing his best Earl Weaver, arguing the bases loaded HBP (or was it a wild pitch?) of Easley.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:39 PM

And yes, it hit him in the helmet, as the replay shows. 4-3 Good Guys.

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2008 07:41 PM

My first reaction is that it hit his helmet seawolf17 wrote: And Old Man Hernandez is ranting again. "BACK IN MY DAY, the umpires never conferred! They stood by their decisions!" And I pretty much agree with him. Most announcers praise all this umpire cooperation stuff but I think they over-do it and Hernandez is the only one (at least that I've heard) who says that decision-by-committee isn't necc the best way to go.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:42 PM

Santana's in the hole, with his bat and his helmet, chomping at the bit to get up there. Sandy Alomar is holding him back. "Eff you, Sandy, I'm hitting. I'm not letting Heilman blow this effing game for me. I'll pitch twelve innings, I don't care."

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:43 PM

When you want a hit in a big spot, you send up Brian Schneider.

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2008 07:43 PM

WonderBoy doesn't come though this time

Nymr83 Aug 12 2008 07:44 PM

I don't like pulling Santana here. This bullpen has blown like a third of his starts this year, let the guy pitch!

metirish Aug 12 2008 07:45 PM

Why PH for Castro when you then need to PH with Schneider?

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 07:45 PM

I didn't much like pulling Castro, but I guess you go for contact there.

Nymr83 Aug 12 2008 07:47 PM

metirish wrote: Why PH for Castro when you then need to PH with Schneider? well schneider is staying in (i assume) wit the pitcher going into the 8th spot i still dont like hitting for santana there

Fman99 Aug 12 2008 07:48 PM

And so it begins again. Holy hell.

metirish Aug 12 2008 07:49 PM

Can't you just keep Castro in to hit , then PH Santana with Murph....anyway the Nats are hitting again.

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 07:50 PM

Yes you can. Or you can pinch hit for Castro and let Santana bat. Or you can pinch hit for nobody. Let's go, Pen!

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:50 PM

Eat it, Lastings. (Would he look nice in our lineup this year, though? Sigh.)

Fman99 Aug 12 2008 07:50 PM

metirish wrote: Why PH for Castro when you then need to PH with Schneider? They wanted a lefty bat there against the RH reliever Rivera. I don't mind the pinch hitting for Castro there but I'd have like to seen Santana with the bat and two out. Has Schneider hit any better than Johan this year?

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:51 PM

Pay attention, Joe! Dammit.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 07:51 PM

Eat it, Flores. (Would he look nice in our lineup this year, though? Sigh.)

Fman99 Aug 12 2008 07:51 PM

Another big K. Two outs and fat stupid Ronnie Belliard at the dish.

metirish Aug 12 2008 07:52 PM

Thanks guys , makes sense Fman , Smith digging deep here.

Got to be Kunz, now right? Future is tonight.

Fman99 Aug 12 2008 07:56 PM

I'd give my middle nut for an insurance run. Eddie "Kicked in the" Kunz warming in the pen.

Fman99 Aug 12 2008 07:58 PM

Feliciano also warming in the pen.

Eight-nine-one for DC.

Nymr83 Aug 12 2008 08:01 PM

go with Kunz please. i don't care that a lefty leads the inning off, i don't want Kunz being set up to fail with inherited runners.

Fman99 Aug 12 2008 08:02 PM

Well you can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first. Feliciano to start against the lefty Harris, whom I detest.

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2008 08:02 PM

Esp since Feliciano's 1st batter record isn't exactly stellar this year.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 08:03 PM

THROW A STRIKE, Pedro. Dammit. Come on.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 08:04 PM

One.

Fman99 Aug 12 2008 08:04 PM

<exhale> Feliciano staying in, apparently, to pitch to the righty Nieves.

seawolf17 Aug 12 2008 08:07 PM

Two.

WOO HOO! How about that Mets pen?

metirish Aug 12 2008 08:10 PM

" He struck him out and the ball game is OVER" Cohen giving it some extra tonight.

Nymr83 Aug 12 2008 08:10 PM

feliciano gets the job done

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 08:11 PM

Third career save. Never in doubt.

Gwreck Aug 12 2008 08:14 PM

Big win. Keith needs to stop complaining about the press box. I really like that it's above the paying customer's seats. Unfortunately, SNY seems unable to figure out that they should put the camera lower than that spot though. Manny Acta (arguing about the HBP) will feel foolish once he sees that replay.

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 08:18 PM

Visit the Nats park and you see that it's towering. It's almost like five levels behind home plate.

metirish wrote: bmfc1 needs to go to the next two games. Aw shucks. I'm going Thursday (they're on their own tomorrow). The most subded Mets crowd in DC that I've ever seen. There was definitely a carry-over for us from yesterday's debacle. It was a nice night, and I was with my older son, watching my favorite team, but I was uneasy all night, like I'm sure you were, waiting for the bullpen for blow it. The game was 2:57 but it felt much longer. The Natiionals scoreboard is great. The Wilpon's should see it. The Nationals had all the right information on one board. The out-of-town board said that the Atlanta game was "DR." Never "P" or "Postponed." I assume that "DR" meant "Delayed Rain." The Florida game was "IR" which I assumed meant "Interrupted Rain." "R" would have done the trick. The woman behind me talked (and talked) about her friends "Dusty", "Bunny" and "Savannah." I wanted to ask her if all her friends were strippers. It was nice when there were two outs in the bottom of the 9th. All the Mets fan rose, like it was Shea.

AG/DC Aug 12 2008 09:49 PM

My friend Jill couldn't be more respectable. So, no, I don't know how she ended up with two best friends named Brandi and Misty. Funny world. what you didn't realize is that the Atlanta game was being played in the Dominican Republic and the Florida game was on Injured Reserve.
