IGT 06/26, Redbirds at Metropolitans

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wags threw 9 pitches.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, the best part of their pen is gone ... but so is ours.
Top of the order doesn't even get the ball out of the infield off of Thompson.

Who's left beyond Schoeneweis; Smith & Sele?

And only Castro left on the bench I think.

SCHOENWEISS YOU BETTER NOT ---- ---- --

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

NINE!

[Guest cleonjones11]

I KNEW IT ----

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets lay a turd in the 10th so on to the 11th we go.

Oh no, it's Scott Schoeneweis. Has Willie gone completely mad? There has to be someone else he could put in. Can't we activate the left field upper deck peanut vendor? Rumor has it that he has a pretty good arm.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Jesus. This may have just become the Scott Schoeneweis Game.

[Guest cleonjones11]

Schoenweiss should be part of the foundation of Citifield..cmon ironworkers!!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

He's terrible. Absolutely terrible.

He either has to go to the DL or New Orleans or someplace because he can't be used in a game that's close or matters.

[Frayed Knot]

With all the righties coming up there you wonder why it wasn't Smith all along.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Joe should have STARTED the inning.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I knew Willie should have checked on the availability of the peanut vendor. Schoeneweis is like poison to the Mets in close games.

[Frayed Knot]

Valentin's trying to be the hero AND the goat.

[Guest Edgy DC]

His defense is broken.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It would be hard for anyone to be the goat after Sayitaintsoinweis throwing BP for the Cardinals.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm still fuming. For him to cough that up after they worked so hard to tie it is just unacceptable.

Of course, if we had a better bat on the bench than Julio Franco we might have won it in the bottom of the ninth.

[Frayed Knot]

This reminds me of '86/Game 6; the first run didn't worry me all that much but that 2nd one seemed like a back-breaker.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Viva El Verde!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Let's stay focused on the the rally we got going here.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

feh

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

One hit does not a rally make. That's ballgame. The Mets spit the bit in extras.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Now you can start bitching to WFAN. Fuck.

Well we're not good enough a team to be allowing 11th-inning home runs to the No. 8 hitter, much less scoring 3 runs in as much time.

[Frayed Knot]

That's 9 hits in 21 innings against one of the worst staffs in the NL.
We're lucky to have stolen one game with that kind of production.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Down With Down*.

*--We need a scapegoat

3 year contract, ugh.

[Guest Edgy DC]

SS has been terrible. But the lack of offense made this Schoeneible.

Replacing him won't make this go away.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I nonetheless share the hope that we won't see him again with the game at stake.

[Gwreck]

I wonder if a DL stint is in order to get Pelfrey on the roster. Otherwise, Joe Smith has to go down, or we play a man short on the bench. I don't really like either of those two options.
