IGT 6/5, Game 2 - Please Sir, May I Have Another?

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 08:22 PM

Scoreless after one inning.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 08:33 PM Game 2 - Please Sir, May I Have Another?

It's time for a little payback. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

seawolf17 Jun 05 2005 08:35 PM

I think this situation calls for the bats to wake up and whack Jason Schmidt and a bevy of relievers around and win 13-2.

seawolf17 Jun 05 2005 08:39 PM

And THAT, Mr. Randolph, is why you don't double switch David Wright out of the game EVER EVER EVER.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 08:41 PM

Beautiful homer by Mr. Wright. Gotta love that boy.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 08:41 PM

Mr. Wright goes

seawolf17 Jun 05 2005 08:42 PM

And Dougie is oooooooooooooooh so close to a home run of his own. He needs a Fonzie-style 6-for-6 game in the worst way.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 08:43 PM

So close, yet so far. The little guy and I thought that Minty had that one. VD pops up for out number 2.

Nymr83 Jun 05 2005 08:43 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 05 2005 08:45 PM

and a big thumbs down to the anouncers for making another flyout by mintky sound like a homerun. :evil: editted for bad spelling.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 08:45 PM

Nice at bat by Minky. He fouled off several pitches before finally flying out to Alou in deep right.

TheOldMole Jun 05 2005 08:45 PM

A home run is a good thing, but I wouldn't want to restrict any manager to not ever ever ever on anything.

seawolf17 Jun 05 2005 08:47 PM

]editted for bad spelling Classic. Yes, that was a recruitment commercial for the Brentwood Fire Department on Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN. Bizarre. I am honored to have posted the first KABOOM in CPF2 history.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 08:47 PM

Mets 2 Giants 0 after 2 complete.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 08:56 PM

seawolf17 - " I am honored to have posted the first KABOOM in CPF2 history." Done in by my poor typing skills once again. I hope it is the first of many Kabooms on the new forum. Benson leads off the third with a double.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 09:03 PM

Reyes with another great at bat by the Mets. Mets at the corners with none out in the third. Bust this thing open boys.

Elster88 Jun 05 2005 09:04 PM

Joe Morgan went on and on about how power in the Japanese Leagues doesn't translate to the major leagues. This may be true, but the genius' main whipping boy was Kaz. He said that Kaz was a power hitter in the Japanese Leagues, right as they posted a graphic showing that he hit 150 home runs in nine seasons. Myself, I didn't realize that 16 and 2/3 home runs a year makes a power hitter. I don't like Joe Morgan. Jose steals second, and Kaz flies out to the warning track to knock in Benson and move Reyes to third. One out, 3-0 Mets.

Elster88 Jun 05 2005 09:06 PM

Sac fly for Beltran to knock in Reyes.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 09:07 PM

Beltran hits a sac fly to score Reyes. 4-0 good guys.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2005 09:09 PM

I like the moving camera along the 3rd base line. Really nice job by Reyes there, getting a million pitches, then an infield hit, then two bases and a run on fly balls. And nice "producitve outs" by Beltran and Matsui.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:13 PM

Nice throw by Mr. Wright - we wuz robbed!

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:18 PM

Damn! We wuz robbed twice in one inning! This suxx. Runners on first and second, none out.

Nymr83 Jun 05 2005 09:22 PM

Nice sacrifice work by 3 straight batters (Reyes beat out the bunt) to get 2 runs home! and what a throw by Castro!! I'm starting to really like this guy.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:22 PM

The runner on first is picked off, then we finally get a call at first, but a bloop hit makes it 4-1 before the inning ends on a fly to center.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:23 PM

I see that the new home doesn't have a Sacred Seaver Post yet. Just as welll - I forgot about it until I saw the number 41.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:27 PM

How big is that chaw in Minty's cheek? Eek!

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:28 PM

Mr. Wright steals second after singling to start the bottom of the fourth. Minty walks. Two on, one out. ESPN gives us a football update. WTF?

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:30 PM

VD Ks :(

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:33 PM

Castro walks. The bases are loaded for Benson.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 09:36 PM

Castro walked, so it really didn't matter, but I like Willie sending the runners there. Kenson with a chance to knock his counterpart out of the game.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:38 PM

Benson walks to get an RBI. The bases are still loaded for Reyes!

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 09:39 PM

Benson draws a bases loaded walk. The Mets are one big hit from busting this game wide open. Reyes coming to the plate with the sacks drunk with Mets.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:40 PM

Reyes grounds out, but Minty scores on the play. 2 out.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 09:41 PM

"Productive outs" are the order of the day.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:42 PM

KazMat ends the inning on a weak grounder. The Boo Birds are in the house tonight. 6-1 Mets after four. The Fanta commercials are totally stupid.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 09:46 PM

The Mets hitters have really been making Schmidt work tonight. He's thrown 98 pitches in 4 innings. Patience has it's rewards. Mets 6 Giants 1 after 4 innings.

Willets Point Jun 05 2005 09:50 PM

Are those the Fanta commercials with the Latino women in colorful outfits singing "Wanta Fanta!" I hate those commercials because the stupid song gets stuck in my head.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:52 PM

Those are the commercials. I hate them. Hat is too good for them. Meanwhile, Benson has a quick top of the 5th. 6-1 good guys!

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 09:56 PM

Cliffy says KA-BOOM! to make it 7-1 Mets.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 09:56 PM

Cliffie goes Kaboom!

Willets Point Jun 05 2005 09:58 PM

Ya know, the Heath Bell-04-pres under SK's name looks like a political statement.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 10:01 PM

OMG - VD hits a MAJOR KA-Boom!

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2005 10:01 PM

WOW! That was a fuckin' shot!

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 10:03 PM

Castro Ks to end the inning. 9-1 after 5.

TheOldMole Jun 05 2005 10:03 PM

Center field.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 10:06 PM

I would hate for Diaz to feel left out, so this belated kaboom is in his honor.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 10:10 PM

Mole, I believe that Frayed Knot is the one and only, LF,

TheOldMole Jun 05 2005 10:17 PM

A bounce into the stands and Jose has to stop at second.

TheOldMole Jun 05 2005 10:18 PM

Doc - why can't people be who they were? And who were you?

Willets Point Jun 05 2005 10:19 PM

Actually Rockin' Doc is a retro-name for Hot Corner.

TheOldMole Jun 05 2005 10:20 PM

They think they're ever going to get Jose at third????

Diamond Dad Jun 05 2005 10:24 PM Diaz

I suppose that homer will now get Diaz more playing time . . . too bad. Woo Hoo -- double digits!!

Swan Swan H Jun 05 2005 10:30 PM

Well, I can't remember seeing Mikey do that at first base.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 10:33 PM

Nice catch by Cliff to end the inning.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 10:34 PM

Why the hell are they wasting time with this nobody musician? Isn't this a sports broadcast?

Yancy Street Gang Jun 05 2005 10:35 PM

Jon Miller pointed out that Willie is the only rookie manager in the big leagues this season. He then went on to say that the last time the Mets had a rookie manager was Joe Torre in 1977! Completely overlooked Davey Johnson and Bud Harrelson. I actually, for some reason, expected him to overlook Harrelson. As Miller was speaking, I was waiting for him to incorrectly say Davey Johnson. He fooled me.

Diamond Dad Jun 05 2005 10:36 PM Will Benson get the complete game?

Or will Willie give Fubar some work? What about Looper-- he needs some work, right?

metirish Jun 05 2005 10:41 PM

Cairo on to PH for Benson.

Elster88 Jun 05 2005 10:44 PM

As long as he lets Bert rest.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 10:46 PM

If the Mets hang on to win this game, woould today qualify as a Triple Happiness? I think we need a ruling.

metirish Jun 05 2005 10:47 PM

Heilman pitching gets the first out, Neikro pinch hitting gets a hit.

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2005 10:47 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 05 2005 10:49 PM

]If the Mets hang on to win this game, woould today qualify as a Triple Happiness? ...I think we need a ruling YES! We decided last year that a situation like this counts as TH.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 10:48 PM

I don't think we can call it Triple Happiness after the suckitude in game 1. I think we should settle for the fact that it's been an overall good day.

Elster88 Jun 05 2005 10:49 PM

Ooooh, good point. Can someone give a ruling on this?

Diamond Dad Jun 05 2005 10:50 PM Asterisk

If they win the last game of the day, then it's triple happiness with an asterisk. If I get to fly the flag tomorrow, then the Mets won.

Swan Swan H Jun 05 2005 10:54 PM

Can we start calling him 'Everyday' Aaron Heilman?

Diamond Dad Jun 05 2005 10:54 PM Let's see Ring

Ring is warming up in the pen. This is perfect time to get him some work. Fred Flintsone is on call in case he messes up.

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2005 10:59 PM

Reyes hasn't popped the ball this well from the left side in a while.

Elster88 Jun 05 2005 11:02 PM

That was a bomb by Floyd, straightaway center. 12-1 is always fun.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 11:03 PM

Floyd goes

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2005 11:04 PM

Nice shot by Cliffy - although I could do w/o the stadium pa system blasting "Macho Man" during the trot.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2005 11:07 PM

Good thread. Good game. ]Myself, I didn't realize that 16 and 2/3 home runs a year makes a power hitter. Your point is understood, as well as your greater point that Joe Morgan says things before thinking. But, in his defense, the Japan league has shorter seasons and 16 2/3 is more like 19 1/2. Not that I expect Morgan knew that. ]Well, I can't remember seeing Mikey do that at first base. What was that? Manny Aybar pitched in game one. "Fubar" is kind of cheap shot. The guy hasn't lost any games and, while a 4.44 ERA won't knock my sox off, for the last guy out of the bullpen, I'll take it. Didn't somebody call for a 13-2 game? We came close.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 05 2005 11:09 PM

And it's over. 12-1 is your final! Edgy - I disagree with you. Norrin dubbed Manny Fubar on Opening Day, and it's stuck.

Elster88 Jun 05 2005 11:10 PM

]But, in his defense, the Japan league has shorter seasons and 16 2/3 is more like 19 1/2. I didn't realize this either. Also, I imagine that Matsui had one or two years when he first started where he got less at bats, bringing his yearly average down. I still don't like Morgan though.

Rotblatt Jun 05 2005 11:12 PM Mets win!

Loopy goes 1-2-3 and the Mets split the double header and win the series! Their third series in a row--good stuff. A well-deserved day off, then on to a Clemens-less Houston! LGM!

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2005 11:20 PM

seawolf almost called it in the second inning, when he said a 13-2 laugher was in order. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty damn happy. Maybe even three times over.

Swan Swan H Jun 05 2005 11:22 PM

Anderson just plain dropped a throw at first. He was suitably embarassed, but considering the score was 10-1, it was merely worth a chuckle.

Elster88 Jun 05 2005 11:28 PM

Isn't it nice when two different centerfielders are pulling balls back over the fence in the same week?

Edgy DC Jun 05 2005 11:52 PM

Getting a lousy tag on opening day makes it cheaper.

Frayed Knot Jun 06 2005 12:11 AM

]Jon Miller pointed out that Willie is the only rookie manager in the big leagues this season. He then went on to say that the last time the Mets had a rookie manager was Joe Torre in 1977! Completely overlooked Davey Johnson and Bud Harrelson. Although that wasn't as bad as when Joe Morgan identified Jeff Wilpon as "the assistant GM".

seawolf17 Jun 06 2005 06:47 AM

I did almost call it! Freaky. Nice work in Game 2 all around.
