IGT - Friday Night at the Fights (NYM-v-NYY) 6/15/07

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Only a smart play if you make it. Incredibly stupid otherwise.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Franco caught stealing ...

3 outs to go up by two. Let's hope those early game LOB's don't come
back to bite us in the boo boo.

Hate to break it out, but ...

LET'S

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

GO

[Guest Edgy DC]

HIdecki bails.

[Batty31]

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Tomorrow: Payback for Tyler Clippard

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Great stuff, Reyes and Perez gonna be swimmin' in Schaefer.

[Frayed Knot]

THAT's how you close out a game Billy Boy!!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

He does that every game though.

Franco getting thrown out? It doesn't bother me. Get to scoring position with two out.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

But he didn't get to scoring position with 2 out.

Oh how I hope so

Nothing wagered, nothing gained.

[Frayed Knot]

But w/2 already out and a guy up who hasn't gotten a ball past the pitcher's mound all game (despite two hits) he's unlikely to score playing it conservative.
I didn't have a problem with the try and it took a perfect throw to get him.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Actually I was kinda excited to see Gomez having an at-bat with the count in his favor for once, and was disappointed to see it end.

I was daydreaming about how cool it would be if he could somehow his game together up here. You know? He's getting tested plenty and maybe he starts learning something.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

E88: >>>He does that every game though.<<<

I don't watch Yankee games, so I have no idea what Joe does with two outs
in any situation, unless I catch it on ESPNNews.

I'm least funny when I try to be.

Anyways, nice to see Perez outlast Asshead ... would have liked to see a
couple of more runs scored, and freakin' Delgado not look like such a schlub
at the dish, but we only have to wait half-a-day to get win number two.

I agree..Lastings Milledge..we hardly knew ya..

Franco probably wouldnt have gone if a stronger hitter were up...Decent gamble. I thought he was safe anyway

It wasn't until the 3rd fight in the upper deck -- by the 2nd inning -- that I realized that I'd always go to the Sunday night game, or occasionally the Saturday afternoon game -- but had never been Friday night at Yankee Stadium.

My favorite fan was not the drunk guys with bad heckles, or the guys trying to provoke fights (saw a Mets jersey that said YanksBlow and had number 69) but rather the woman right in front of me (wearning a pink Jeter jersey) who started having a temper tantrum every at bat -- "do something! you have to do something!"

Several Mets were very upset with the home plate ump. Beltran. Delgado. Franco got within a hair of being run at one point between innings.

It sounds like WWSB hinted that he would bat Beltran 2 They have a podcast. http://www.wfan.com/ Mike: "Far be it for me to make your lineup out for ya, but I like to see Beltran bat second a little bit." [cackling] WWSB: "One of you guys might look smart before the day's over" I heard that as an insult, not a compliment, more like "One of you guys might have a smart idea some day," so I misinterpreted it. It's going to be hard to take any of your reports on Willie seriously from here on in.

Like you were taking them seriously before?

Look, I screwed up. I said that I misinterpreted Willie's answer. If that wrecks my credibility, then I guess I didn't have any credibility to begin with, which is what I get from your retort. So be it.

Ira should be getting props here for standing up and admitting he was wrong - that doesn't happen much on the net.
