If you don't see nobility in the resilience against their own self-destructive nature, you ain't paying attention. Part of the story this season is them coming back out with efforts redoubled the day after a cockpunch loss. You ever try to fight on after fucking yourself over? Well, the Mets are your team.

SteveJRogers Aug 27 2008 06:02 AM

Going to the Zigfeld in midtown Manhattan to watch this one. I'd hate to see the crowd reaction if the Mets lose this one.

I like Metallica's cover of Turn the Page, I'm sure I'm in the minority here. I found the video on youtube which I never saw and it's too damn disturbing a take for an IGT so ya'll are getting spared. Here's a vanilla version ...

I'll take a split here. I'm currently suffering from traumatic amnesia so I'll be happy with a split.

Carlos Delgado hits it out of Citizens Bank Park, Veterans Stadium, Connie Mack Stadium and the Baker Bowl. The Phillies can't build or borrow a home that can contain Carlos Delgado.

And Ben Chapman was a racist.

It would be great if Schneider could do something productive.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2008 07:29 PM

Scott Eyre had a 1.8 WHiP last season. This year he pitched 11 innings with the Cubs and gave up 9 runs. Since the deal to Philly he's unscored upon thru 7+ and tongiht he faced 5 batters and the only fair ball we hit was a GiDP (also K - K - K - Foul out)

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2008 07:41 PM

Gotta do something in this here 8th inning. The only guy who was NOT overused last night was Lidge so we'll shirley see him in the 9th. 2-3-4 due up.

Now let's see somebody else take part. "Now is the time!"

Delgado gets it done all by his own self. Good stuff. The booth is right, too. C. Manuel is dumb to not bring in Lidge to pitch to Delgado there.

Smith gets stoopid Jayson Werth with one pitch. Three outs... in the interim, more insurance runs would be a sweet deal.

One more inning of relief to go.

Zvon Aug 27 2008 08:08 PM

"One pitch" Smith.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2008 08:09 PM

I just might give Wright some beer for that play even though he's pretty much taken this series off otherwise. That was a stunner.

Reyes with his 174th hit of the season. HOT!HOT!HOT!

Rockin' Doc Aug 27 2008 08:13 PM

Nice start to the ninth as Reyes singles. Let's tack on at least one more run this inning.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2008 08:13 PM

Wasted bunt IMO

Rockin' Doc Aug 27 2008 08:17 PM

A sac bunt by Castillo. Now there's a surprise. Now I feel almost certain that Reyes gets stranded. The Mets percentage of runners scored following a sac bunt seems low to me. Maybe because BIFL.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 27 2008 08:18 PM

Make 'em pay for that intentional walk!

Whiff. OK... here we go. Three more outs.

Elster88 Aug 27 2008 08:20 PM

Am I crazy, or should we let Joe Smith start the ninth? We got all lefties coming up? I'd hate to run out of pitchers again.

Who comes out for the ninth? Ayala?

Elster88 wrote: Am I crazy, or should we let Joe Smith start the ninth? We got all lefties coming up? I'd hate to run out of pitchers again. I was thinking the same thing. 3 RHBs coming up - go to Ayala at the first sign of trouble but let Smith find that trouble first. And one-pitch/one-out as I type that.

Rockin' Doc Aug 27 2008 08:23 PM

A lead off + sac bunt to give away an out = BIFL Why is this so hard for Manuel to grasp. This isn't rocket science, it shouldn't be so hard a concept to comprehend. Okay, the bullpen can close this one out. Lets

Delgado giving a long interview. Some one track down Billy and Paulie and let them know. Maybe they only want him to talk after a loss.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 27 2008 09:25 PM

The fact that they play good defense night in and night out is a major aid to resiliency.

seawolf17 Aug 27 2008 09:38 PM

Fun IGT, everyone. I was honored to be the Mets' rep tonight at MFY Stadium II for the collapse of the great Yankees. While the Yankee fans were streaming from the park in the top of the eighth, I was following along on my phone to the goings-on in Philly. Kinda surprised nobody "fell off the escalators" tonight... the place was a morgue, except for a meaningless ninth inning HR by Roids McGilliguddy. Loved it. Wore my RAMETS shirt proudly.

Whats worse than watching the Mets win a great game at Shea with all the crap they throw at you? Watching it at the Zigfeld Theatre and they throw the entire Shea experience at you. Mr. Met and the Pepsi Patrol were flinging projectiles (shirts, and soft baseballs as well) all night, they brought all the inane crap that blares out at Shea, including "Everybody Clap Your Hands" and that 7th inning stretch song. Even Cow-Bell Man was there. Yalloff, Mazzilli and Reynolds were there for one of the shortest Q&As in the history of Q&As. No audience questions, no commentary on the game, season or state of affairs of the Mets, and they left after only doing two segments. Strange because the studio literally is a block away. They did do the National Athem before the game started, which was a nice touch. But in all, not the best experience if you wanted something different than what you get at the ballpark, especially the current Shea experience.

metirish Aug 28 2008 06:37 AM

] Roids McGilliguddy. Love it. I tell ya I am sick and tired of Jimmy Rollins , when did he become the fun police , he's been complaining again at how the Mets celebrate. ] "We don't talk about celebrations, we just notice them," Rollins said before last night's game. "Nobody in particular. The whole team, you know." When asked if the Mets do more "celebrating" than other teams, he replied, "Watch the game."

Sports bar type of event. Maybe when radio or TV stations do live remotes, or have staffers make an apperance at something. Basically the game is on and that is the main attraction, but the other things are things that you'd get if you went to an SNY (or a Silverman/JCLB or Forum Meetup) bar party to watch the game. Have someone, or more appear for the whole game, do a running commentary during the game from that person(s), more interactive Q&A, etc. I think my problem is not that it was like being at Shea, but more that they brought just about all of the annoying things ABOUT Shea in 2008. The Party Patrol, the "Everybody Clap Your Hands," the "Dance Off," the "8th Inning Sing-a-long," the 7th inning stretch song, etc.
