IGT 4/12/08 Santana vs Sheets!

[Valadius]

Dammit David, we needed a freaking hit there!

[TransMonk]

Anytime David wants to start driving in RISP w/ 2 out is fine by me.

[Valadius]

That was a quick inning by Santana.

[TransMonk]

Hall ties it up with a long ball.

That's the thing about Johan, he's good for a home run a start. Luckily they're mostly solo shots.

Or two. 3-2 Milwaukee after a Weeks bomb.

Let's go offense.

[nymr83]

Wright lets a doubleplay ball get through his legs...thats not like him, and the met D has been a slopfest today behind Santana.

[Valadius]

DAVID!!!

[Theoldmole]

I don't care what Schneider hits.

[nymr83]

A great throw by Schneider, I'll keep ripping on his weak stick but he does more than get the job done on defense.

Santana K's Hardy, his 6th strikeout, and the inning is over without big damage.

[Valadius]

Schneider's hitting .300 so far though.

[nymr83]

And Jason Kendall is hitting .452 while Prince Fielder is homerless...

repeat after me.. "its only the 2nd week of april, its only the 2nd week of april, its only..."

[Valadius]

Oh Jesus Christ...

[nymr83]

Gabe Kapler whacks Santana's 113th pitch out of the ballpark. fuck. its 5-2 brewers

Carlos Muniz coming on.

[TransMonk]

Sheets mowing down the Mets...15 straight or something.

This sucks.

[Valadius]

Muniz relieves Schoeneweis.

[Valadius]

Muniz gets a good 1-2-3 inning.

[Valadius]

Fucking Castillo.

[Valadius]

[Valadius]

Come on Delgado! We need a homer here!

[TransMonk]

Wright gets the big hit with no one on. Carlos walks and that's it for Ben.

Delgado has the chance to be a hero.

[Guest AG/DC]

Chance gone.

Eric Gagne has the chance to be a goat.

[Valadius]

Who the hell is Iribarren?

[nymr83]

nice pickoff, nice catch, inning over
bottom of the lineup, lets do this!!!

[Guest AG/DC]

Who is wearing Jason Kendall's uniform?

[Valadius]

Let's beat the cheat!

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Gagne has given up runs in two of his three outings so far this year.
3 in one game, and 1 in the other.

[TransMonk]

Ugh.

[Valadius]

Fuckshit.

Look I'm not pointing any fingers here but to make a big deal of your Game Thread Mojo then fail to answer the bell while giving golf updates isn't a good sign.

In other news, Castillo still awful.

Pretty much. The guys behind us basically spent the entire game talking about how we've got 3 and 7/8 more years of his crap.

I guess I can accept getting beat by another team's ace...Sheets was pretty good. The sloppy defense by Wright though was pretty bad.

Not mentioned in this thread: Santana and Easley messing up Sheets' bunt which allowed the Brewers first run to score. Santana fielded it down the third base line, at which time Corey Hart (coming towards home from third) couldn't have been more than 20 feet away from him. Santana should've tagged Hart, or run him back to third and thrown to Easley (who was not covering third).
