IGT Yankees at Mets 5-21-2006

[Zvon]

="Bret Sabermetric"] .......... so when Wags comes in he's protecting a 1-run lead and pitches well therefore.

Looks like you called it Brett. Ya bastage.

Im all for running him back out there ASAP,as i said in yesterdays IGT, but I just wish it didnt have to be tonight.

If he doesnt get the job done tonight the downside is really down.
And he threw alot of pitches yesterday.

This is worrysome, but as a Met fan Im used to worryin.

*Z crosses his fingers, his toes, his eyes,...his testicles cross themselves voluntarily.

Get it done Sandman!

In fairness, Torre has a short bullpen. Rivera unavailable. Chacon unavailable, etc...

[Willets Point]

1 down.

Holding breath.

He also has a short bench.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cano is given the treatment.

[Willets Point]

Fuck!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Bernie Williams drops a flair in front of a diving Nady for a single.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Cabrera singles to left. Runners on 1st and 2nd with one out.

[Willets Point]

Clusterfuck!

[Zvon]

...and a Cebrera seeing eye single.

But Wags is looking like Wags.

Big K for out #2

[Gwreck]

Stinnett? Cairo? No problem.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

K's Stinnet with a 2-2 slider. One more out, please.

[Willets Point]

2 down on strikes.

Turning blue.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

2-2 on Cairo, come on. Make it happen, NOW!!!

[nymr83]

Cairo is being a pest... fouls off 2 straight on 2-2.

[nymr83]

thank god for two out of three, this shoulda been a sweeeeep :/

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Bret calls it midway through the game.

Mets Win!!!

[Willets Point]

GAAAAAAASP!

Praise be!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Don't be sad (No!) Cuz two outta three ain't bad.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Had them.

All the.

Way.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Thanks, Meatloaf.

While I'm at it, thank fucking god we pulled this one out. My tender pysche couldn't have handled another blown game against the motherfuckingyankees.

As Z says, shoulda been a sweep, but I'll take 2 of 3.

The bitter taste from last night is still in my mouth, though. Not sure what it will take to get that out of there, but tonight wasn't enough.

Mets 4 Yankees 3 Final

Paradise by the scoreboard lights.

How 'bout a sweep of the Phillies?

[DocTee]

Any news on Cliffy?

[Frayed Knot]

Effin weird game:
- Yanks had all those baserunners but rarely came close to hitting a ball hard.
- 12 hits in all, 3 of which never left the infield. 10 were singles and one of them should have been an error. Plus even one of the 2 doubles never left the infield
- 7 friggin walks, which really sukked because we kept walking all their shitty and replacement hitters: Bernie twice, Melky 1, Stinnett 1, Cairo 1, plus ARod & Giambi once each
- and then we hit two guys, including Kevin Freekin Reese
- 3 GiDPs bailed our asses out

Heh, sorry, running out the door. I'll remember next time!

[Willets Point]

Do we really need to ruin this victory celebration with Meatloaf's mug?
