IGT for Sunday, 8/28. Mets at Giants

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Boring day for me, so I'll throw this out here now

New York Mets
1. Jose Reyes, SS
2. Miguel Cairo, 1B
3. Carlos Beltran, CF
4. David Wright, 3B
5. Chris Woodward, LF
6. Victor Diaz, RF
7. Ramon Castro, C
8. Kazuo Matsui, 2B
9. Kris Benson, P


=orange]San Francisco Giants
1. Randy Winn, CF
2. Omar Vizquel, SS
3. J.T. Snow, 1B
4. Moises Alou, LF
5. Ray Durham, 2B
6. Pedro Feliz, 3B
7. Todd Linden, RF
8. Mike Matheny, C
9. Noah Lowry, P

Some notes:
-Kris Benson was bombed in his last outing, allowing 6 runs while only retiring 2 batters vs. Washington
-Lowry, on the other hand, "has won his last four starts, allowing just two runs in 31 1/3 innings". (To quote ESPN.com)
-Giants traded bench OF Michael Tucker to Philly for a minor leauger.

Woodward and Kaz? Interesting combo

[Guest Edgy DC]

What's this I hear about us being undefeated recently when Kase starts the IGT?

I'm getting fun goofy mic-checks from the internet feed.

[Theoldmole]

That's really the starting lineup?

[Guest KC]

Earth to Willie, we're in a wild-card race.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Anybody who can tune into mlb.tv, do. They're getting goofy.

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like all the leftys are getting the day off vs Lowry ... so much for Cliffy's vow to play all the remaining games in the season (well, I guess he didn't claim that he'd start all of them).

[Diamond Dad]

Ed Coleman says Piazza will not be coming off the DL on Thursday, when he is eligible

[Guest KC]

>>>(well, I guess he didn't claim that he'd start all of them)<<<

I was really hoping for some bang-pow into McCovey Cove. Maybe in a pinch
hitting role later in the evening.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Clueless Clown report continues. I've heard them pre-record about three seperate attempted intros. Seaver sounds like he's been partaking.

O'Brien is singing and doing Vin Scully imitations.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Reyes hurt, Reyes hurt, dammmmit

[Guest KC]

Easy OO, let's see if he comes out to play dee.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He looks comfortable enough on D to suggest he's not really hurt.

Didn't make the play, however.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Whew! Despite loading the bases, Benson gets out of the first inning unschathed.

ya know, i cant say I understand why managers today rest players at times i think they are needed most. Floyd may have been playin sluggish but he's one of our best producers. And baseball aint like basketball or football. Players can rejuvinate while on the field. I mean, how would you feel if you were Benson? One of the two cannons (Wright being the other)is on the shelf.

Kool, we got out of that shaky 1st.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Wright singles on a pitch low and away. You've got to wonder why anyone pitches him anywhere other than tight, the way he hits to RF.

when he's hot he still fights off the tight pitch to right.
I love watchin him hit.

Diaz flys DEEEEEEP to right.

[Elster88]

Castro walks.

This is a disgusting lineup. 'Course, you gots to rest your guys once in a while. It would help if Beltran could hit.

Maybe thats Willies strategy. Floyd out does make Beltrans need to hit more urgent, and Beltran would know that.

[Elster88]

I don't see the Mets scoring unless Wright hits one out or unless Reyes triples and scores on an out. Namely, the only ways that they scored yesterday or Friday.

EDIT: I'm Fat Mo!! I'm hitting McDonald's tonight!!!!

[Zvon]

Shit, and I just noticed Jacobs aint in. (now Im here 100%)
Willie says going back to NY 6-1 would be huge, but he dont play his best hand.........
How 'tired' can Jacobs be?

I hope Woody or Cairo step up and shut me up and make me the fool for bitchin.

[MFS62]

Beltran has been playing like he doesn't even know what day it is.
Maybe that concussion was worse than we thought.

Later

[Elster88]

Kris Benson, warning track power. Maybe if his name wasn't Kristin he could hit one out.

Diaz could pop one.
Beltran could become unzombiefied and launch one.

That was an agressive swing by Beltran (the one he Kd on) Nice to see him tryin to catch up to a pitch instead of simply looking 'cool' while wiffin.

Im Bethke.
Guess its White Castle for me.....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Diaz charging a sinking liner does alright.

Not a lost cause yet.

Five pitch thoid for Benson.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Diaz ran a pretty direct route to that last fly ball, no?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Beltran whiffs. He was either a really big flash in a really big pan, or he has from that collision/

[nymr83]

fuck, wright hurt his foot too.
today's lineup is bullshit, bad job willie.

[Elster88]

Wright pops up and screams an expletive.
