Adam Rubin says that D-Wright gets the day off: J. Reyes, ss A. Reyes, 2b Easley, 3b Delgado, 1b Beltran, cf Murphy, lf Tatis, rf Schneider, c Santana, lhp

It's scrub day today with The Schneid and Argenis. You know what else annoys me about Argenis? Now I hafta write J. Reyes instead of just Reyes.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 17 2008 09:08 AM

I guess the Mets lineup doesn't matter much today 'cause Santana's gonna throw an incomplete game shutout.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 11:47 AM

No 1st inning runs today? Dagnabbitt!

TransMonk Aug 17 2008 11:47 AM

A-Rey and Easy-E with first inning singles. Carlos and Carlos with first inning strikeouts.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 11:50 AM

I guess this would be a good day to give Mr Wright a rest. OOO, nice play by Jreyes

Zvon Aug 17 2008 12:01 PM

Schneider!

batmagadanleadoff Aug 17 2008 12:01 PM

Dont'cha just love The Schneid? I know I do.

bmfc1 Aug 17 2008 12:01 PM

Schneider has doubled his HR count for the season since Wednesday.

TransMonk Aug 17 2008 12:01 PM

The Schneid...KABOOM! 2-0 Mets!

batmagadanleadoff Aug 17 2008 12:03 PM

The Schneid's off his schneid.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Aug 17 2008 12:06 PM

Remember a week or two ago when there were three or four games in a row when they didn't play the "Jeter has an Edge" commercials? I miss that.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 12:06 PM

Thats something I didn't expect. We need guys steppin up like that. Phils are in a phunk. Fish have to fend off the Cubbies. Any distance we can accumulate will be nice.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 12:17 PM

Nice DP by the Bucks on that hit & run. I'm seeing more Met gear in the stands than Pirate stuff :)

Zvon Aug 17 2008 12:33 PM

YES. Beltran scores from 1st on a 2 out single! Thats what I like to see! Hustle. And yea Keith, Schnied should have taken second on that throw...

batmag - "It's scrub day today with The Schneid and Argenis..." Schneider with 3 RBI's says, "Scrub this."

TransMonk Aug 17 2008 12:56 PM

Argenis is 3 for 3 as well...his BA back up to .284.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 01:04 PM

Beltran's HR looked the same as his single but about 10 ft higher

Zvon Aug 17 2008 01:07 PM

KC Aug 17 2008 01:13 PM

Got a freakin' hankering for pierogies. There used to be a frozen brand that was in one of our supermarkets that nailed how the old ladies at my heavily eastern European church growing up used to make from scratch. Hey, it's game content. I love when Carlos has that sick stroke going.

KC Aug 17 2008 01:35 PM

E88: Am I the only one that starts thinking no-hitter after the first inning?<<< No. And when I'm at a game and don't feel like keeping a scorecard I always keep at least the visitors one until the first hit because I think it's finally going to happen and I want to be able to post a picture of it all over the internet.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 17 2008 01:36 PM

Gary Cohen's going on and on about how Argenis is in the middle of everything. Not sure what Gary could mean what with Arsenio on-basing not even .300. Maybe Arugula's in the middle of killing every rally by making outs all the time. Arsenic's pretty damn good at making outs. Maybe that's what Gary meant. What the hell do you all think Gary was talking about? Looks to me like more Willlie-ball with the practically worst hitter on the team having to bat second. I guess that Wright's gotta come up in the first inning with a better chance than there should be that there's gonna be at least one out already made. Plus Arbuckle's gotta get 40 or 50 more at bats then he ordinarily would by batting 7th or 8th, where he belongs. Is this Omar's idea?

OlerudOwned Aug 17 2008 01:38 PM

Brandon Moss hurts himself spinning out of the box, saves the Mets from clumsy fielding. That ankle bent hard, here's hoping it's nothing serious.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 01:39 PM

Thnx Elster. Thats kinda new. Needed another generic one. I still have a Endy one up my sleeve I think I made 2 years ago. Thats the problem with making player specific ones. Ahhhh, someday...

Elster88 Aug 17 2008 01:40 PM

OlerudOwned wrote: Brandon Moss hurts himself spinning out of the box, saves the Mets from clumsy fielding. Actually not really. Delgado fielded it and was going to go to Santana covering first. When he saw Moss on his knees in the batter's box, he tried to go to second cuz he knew that he could take a shot and still get Moss at first.

What the hell do you all think Gary was talking about? It's funny. When J.Reyes, Wright, Beltran, and Delgado all hit well, of course whoever is hitting second is going to get taken along for the ride. So whenever Heinous gets those relatively rare hits he scores or knocks someone in and peeps think it's him. Edit: Specifying which Reyes.

I can almost see putting him there today, with Wright out of the lineup, but there is no excuse to be batting Arrreyes in the two hole and while Murphy hits in the bottom part of the order. Murphy's plate approach (not to mention ability) just fits so much better. Of course maybe we're relatively fortunate that Murphy isn't batting 2nd and having a big chunk of his PAs wasted on bunts. Sigh. I'm going to go back to enjoying the winning now.

Sigh. I'm going to go back to enjoying the winning now. I know. Imagine the Mets putting an effective hitter in the #2 hole and letting him put his effectiveness to effect without the fu**in first inning sac bunts getting in the way? This has been mostly a foreign concept here since Valentine was fired. (Manuel's not much of a first inning sac bunter (thank god) but his choice of #2 hitters is another story).

OlerudOwned Aug 17 2008 01:56 PM

Sean Burnett has no control right now, and the Pirates booth is analyzing his odd delivery. Lefty who plants hisleft foot on the 1st base side of the rubber. Gets it back to 3-2 on Johan.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 01:59 PM

Santana could strike out the side in the 8th. Everybody on your feet and start clappin. K!K!K!

OlerudOwned Aug 17 2008 02:02 PM

KC Aug 17 2008 02:02 PM

Quick, during the commercial post who is going to pitch the bottom of the 9th.

TransMonk Aug 17 2008 02:03 PM

Santana.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 02:03 PM

awwww. No K. But yay! Ground out! I know I'm the only one in the world thinking this but I say let Santana start the 9th. OE:^ guess I'm not,lol.

KC Aug 17 2008 02:06 PM

No one warming up in public.

OlerudOwned Aug 17 2008 02:06 PM

If his arm's feeling alright, let him go back out there. Against this lineup, he probably won't even have to throw a breaking ball. Fastballs, changeups, and let's wrap this up.

OlerudOwned Aug 17 2008 02:08 PM

Adding the middle name was a nice touch on the Rich Becker designation.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 17 2008 02:13 PM

Taking a break from wrestling with the underground sprinklers. Looks like Johan kicked butt. Or kicked Buc, as the case may be.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 17 2008 02:17 PM

Wow, Schneider's got a little power surge going. Of course, the Pirates and Nats pitching might have something to do with that.

Nymr83 Aug 17 2008 02:19 PM

nice job by santana, go 9 and make sure the bullpen cant blow another win for you.

Zvon Aug 17 2008 02:19 PM

That 9th inning was so quick I have no graphic ready. Game. >Books<. WOOT!

Santana's game score for today's shutout is 88, the highest by a Met this season and the only game score to break 80.
