IGT - 5/12/06 - Mets @ Milwaukee-Lima tries to stay perfect

[Zvon]

big enough--thanks Kolb

[nymr83]

fuck.
fuck.
fuck.

[Zvon]

Damn--Turnbow meant bidness.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Boo. Save by Turnbow.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I suck at starting IGT. Of course, it was a Lima start so my odds of getting a win were greatly diminished.

[Zvon]

so-does Lima get another start?
Does Lima ever get the ball again as a Met?
Do the Mets break up their pen by giving Heilman some starts?
Do they pull off a deal?,.......find a stop gap within?

Stay tuned tomorrow night...
Same Met Time,
Same Met channel.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Probably no time to deal unless the right thing is hanging out there.

[TransMonk]

I hate the Brewers. Just got done watching the game at a bar full of Brewer fans. Really, I was just asking for it.

I've always considered them a AAAA team.

...does our ass in the wind qualify

[Guest Edgy DC]

It probably isn't in the wind.

Still a few internal angles worth checking out.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Pretty please, with sugar on top . . .

Heilman.

Although Bradford, Oliver & Bell didn't help us much in this one either.

who is startung tommorow's IGT? we need some good luck with jeremi gonzalez going, anyone willing to take THAT hit on their record?

[metirish]

Greck has to take that IGT, he has a crazy record, we need all the help we can get, Mets are losing while Phillie and the Braves are winning...

I'll start one right now!

[Willets Point]

I watched this game from behind home plate. I have to watch the game on MLB.TV and see if I can see me. Oddly there were a ton of other Mets fans in the seats around me.

I didn't expect much from Lima, but it was pretty rotten that he actually pitched effectively for so long that I actually got hope we'd get out of it. He imploded with 2 outs and seemed to have a gazillion chances to get strike three and escape unscathed but didn't. It's like that thing Leiter was criticized about a few years back of getting two strikes and then throwing crap instead of going after the guy.

Is Prince Fielder going to join the Pat Burrell Society of Met Killers?

Anyhow, it was a fun night at the ballpark other than the outcome. Drank some Leinie's, ate some cheese fries, saw my first sausage race and rode back on a bus full of Mets fans to a hotel also full of Mets fans.

Well I had my room to myself at least. Just one Mets fan there. And I didn't have nightmares despite all the Wisconsin beer and cheese I consumed.

[Willets Point]

One more thing, there was a foul pop up that I believe Carlos Lee went after but didn't get to it because the tarp tripped him up. Which begs the question: Miller Park has a retractable roof (closed the entire weekend), why do they even have a tarp?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rules.

Besides, it wouldn't be the first roof to fail to retract when needed.

[metirish]

Does the roof still have those leaks, remember when the Mets palyed there a few years ago and the damn roof was leaking like crazy, maybe that's why they have the tarp.

[Willets Point]

Good point. I was trying to make the point to the guys next to me that if a sudden storm came up they may need the tarp because it takes 10 minutes for the roof to close. I didn't even think of the roof not being able to close.

FWIW, it rained all weekend and I notice no leaks.
