IGT, 7/21, Mets v. Fish

[Guest Rotblatt]

Me too, KC.

Good call on Bell, seawolf. I had actually forgotten about him.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

When MK was being interviewed for that Mets documentary yesterday, his only negative comments were about Looper and Takatsu.

You can't blame the kid for his choices there....

Mikey drives in the tying run. 4-4. They'll drag this out before tearing our livers out in front of us....

[Guest Rotblatt]

MIKE PIAZZA!

Line drive single to tie the game! He's reached all four times today.

Gotta love that.

And Williams comes in to pinch run for him.

Good call. Piazza needs his rest after 12 innings last night.

I see your point, but with Looper I can understand fans wanting to let him know how disappointed they are in him.
Im a positive supporter of the Mets, and very team minded, but if i was there and he didnt get thru that inning, id be booin too.

Before he even threw a pitch or allowed a runner to reach? Maybe not, but i would understand the people who would do that.

He's only blown the hope of the fans in every instance and level that he could, and seemingly only at times when we really want him to do his job.

[Zvon]

oh.

the Mets tied it.
Edge with the rally song doin its thang.

Kool.
Ill shut up

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm sure he doesn't need to know that people are disappointed in him.

]He's only blown the hope of the fans in every instance and level that he could, and seemingly only at times when we really want him to do his job.

You're eluding me in the alleys and sideways.

[Elster88]

Great job on the rundown by Cairo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Finally all that plays-the-game-the-right-way stuff pays off, huh?

[Guest Edgy DC]

And Bert walks the backup catcher to load them up for Lowell.

Poo.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Robo sounds tired. This could get ugly.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Or not! Lowell pops it up near the stands and Jake makes what sounds like a nice catch, reaching over the rail to end the inning.

whew!

Let's finish it NOW.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jacobs catches the third out and Cairo --- playing the game the right way --- catches Jacobs.

whew...hwernadez gets out of it. He does his job, even if he had me sweatin.

I think the fans have every right to pick Looper as a scapegoat, even though he is not the only reason the Mets have failed.
Whether he needs to know or not dont concern me.

Tonight i wanted more than anything for Seo to get the win. Looper ruined that hope.
And why did Hamulack only pitch to one batter in that inning?
I still dont know the answer to that one.

[Elster88]

Does Jose like giving me heart palpitations by diving into every base when the playoffs are out of reach?

[Guest Edgy DC]

They booed him before he failed, and by undermining him, they facilitate that failure, and share in it.

This is one of the dumber statements I've heard.

[Zvon]

Ryes makes it happen.
Singles and gets second on an error.

On a side note:
Reyes has become the 1st shortstop since 1900 to ever record 55 steals, 20 doubles,15 triples, and 90 runs scored in a single season.
Not too shabby.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Ugh. I'd rather have anyone BUT Cairo up right now.


Oh, shit!!! It's a base hit by Cairo and we win the game!!!

Tonight, Willie, you can do no wrong.

I'll consider giving you a pass tomorrow as well.

Let go Mets!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cairo.

Player of the Game.

That's why.

[Elster88]

I get a sick sense of satisfaction out of the Mets knocking the Marlins out of the race. Anyone else going to the game tomorrow?

How about that?!

God, I love baseball.

[Valadius]

Cairo? CAIRO?!?!?!?!?!

Welcome to Bizarro World, I guess.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Mets Win!

Wow!

I completely agree with this statement.
As you know, i was one who really had a problem with Met fan attitudes.
But in the instance of Looper, I can understand fans doing that.
I wouldnt.
But as soon as a runner reached, i would.
I would want him out of there and no longer in the position to ruin what hopes i still hold for this team.

[Zvon]

Good game tonight 'folks".

we take the fish out of the water.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Thanks, guys, I like when the Fish lose.

[Elster88]

No prob. Will you take Beltran back now?

[Zvon]

Beltran who? Our CFer is #1. You can tell by reading the back of his jersey.
