Twin Killing: IGT 6/18/07

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hiho Silva v. Johnny Maine

I'm sure he didn;t mean to but Francessa madee an apt analogy this morning: No rocking chairs for the Mets this summer.

So I want all of you to get out of your chairs...

[metirish]

Really,a Mets team that's in top form would hammer a guy like Silva...so lets fucking hammer him,past history suggests he gives up the long ball.

His splits at Shea are not good,smallish sample though.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'd like to remind you all that this will be my 3rd trip to Shea this season. The first two were walkoff wins.

[Willets Point]

Tonight I'd prefer a win that was never in doubt from the first inning on.

[duan]

that DESPITE our being terrible for the last 3 weeks, we're still in the lead. There's a lot to be said for that, A LOT.

[Centerfield]

Lineup looks good to me. Let's beat these fuckers.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I agree with duan, they're lucky to still be in first. Time to stop playing with
their heads up their asses and have a good home stand.

Carlos y Carlos - wake up NOW!!!

[Elster88]

I'd much rather have Valentin in left, Gotay at second.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

High socks = Home runs

[TransMonk]

Carlos goes KABOOM!

1-0 good guys in the 2nd.

[Elster88]

A swinging bunt for a hit that would've gone foul.

But on the other hand the runner was out clearly. Like ridiculously clearly.

[TransMonk]

Umps blow the call at first in the top of 3. Hopefully, that won't bite us in the ass.

Trivia

Qatar Airways with Ads on SNY....what actor does the voice over.

[Elster88]

Verducci said in that article where he worked as an ump that only four calls were wrong all year at first last year.

Well I saw that game at Washington. I guess this is five for this year.

[Elster88]

At least Beltran hit a hard ground ball that time.

[Elster88]

Delgado getting hits. I don't like him pulling low outside changeups into right though.

[Elster88]

Look out now. We got offense. Green going the other way to the base of the wall.

[Frayed Knot]

Wow. A 2-out single to the #8 hitter on a 2-0 count?!?

[TransMonk]

Holy Kubel! That was one of the better outfield grabs I've seen this year.

[Frayed Knot]

9 hits in just 5+ innings is a good sign.
Twinkie defense is bailing Silva's butt out here.

[TransMonk]

PLD! The bats are alive tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

So THAT'S what a 2-out RBI hit looks like!

I've only seen them from the other side for so long I forgot what one looked like.

[Frayed Knot]

Meanwhile, Maine is working on a 2-hitter in the 7th and one of those is tainted and the other was back in the 1st inning.



on edit: make that three hits and TWO of them tainted

[TransMonk]

Maine has pitched a gem...I would say dominant as I never really felt threatened that the Twinkies would score. He's probably done as he has 107 pitches after 7.

[TransMonk]

Maine back out for the 8th...gives up a lead off hit to Tyner.

[Elster88]

Gotta love Gary. He stopped talking mid-sentence so we could hear the crowd cheer Maine as he walked off the mound. Either that or he started choking on a peanut.

I'm even more excited about the 2 walks.

[TransMonk]

KABOOM from Ledee! 5-1 Mets!

[seawolf17]

Carlos Beltran got an RBI hit! Someone call the press!
