IGT - Game One at Safeco

[Frayed Knot]

So tonight was the (stereotype) Met fan's dream:

* Piazza out from behind the plate - and there was a passed ball and the Mariners ran wild anyway

* Matsui off of 2nd - and there was a botched grounder and dropped pop fly anyway

* Diaz in for Cameron - and he never got the ball out of the infield



Any other suggestions geniuses??

To be fair, I don't think a start by Ishii was part of that dream.

I'm a Met fan, let me go to sleep and see.

To be honest, Ishii's been a lot worse some nights -- but I suppose with a 2-0 count and 2nd & 3rd you oughta just not fool around with Ichiro. The D did Ishii few favors and the O still less.

It's on WWSB, sorta, that he got burned again with a base open.

I'm fairly confident by now that Heilman does at least a bad a job as Ishii as our No. 5, and maybe better. His body language just looks better. So I suppose I'm saying, Let's write off this trade and surrender the plan to get better value in a trade.

It's by no means all Ishii's fault -- but we're tumbling out of relevancy at a fantastic pace thanks mainly to the O but somebody has to pay.

Positives: Wright & Reyes each had some good swings tonight.

i didnt feel like posting all night during another really bad game. this team stinks.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I caught Heilman in mid-pitch at Shea recently. This was the last pitch of the 6-9 game IIRC.

Why is Beltran watching from the stands instead of the dugout?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Did anyone listen to the game on the radio Friday? If so, did Gary Cohen wish D-Dad a Happy Father's Day?

My FIL just called, and apparently he got to the radio guys and asked Gary to wish his son in NJ a Happy Father's Day. If anyone heard the greeting, let me know.
