IGT, 4/25: Braves @ Mets

[Guest mario25]

This sucks.....this team is tough to watch

[Guest mario25]

2 hits off of Jars Jimminemenm or whatever his name is...awful

[Guest AG/DC]

Smith not having much to get the lefties out.

[seawolf17]

What the hell is going on in the crowd tonight? They talked about that on the radio on the way home, then something just happened again. What the hell is in the Bud Light at Shea this year?

[Guest AG/DC]

Folks is out for blood.

[Guest *62]

Fewer seats and higher prices next year may keep the riff-raff out.

Nah.

[Fman99]

I'd be pissed if I had paid $35 to watch them play like this. Maybe not beat up my neighbor pissed but still.

[Guest KC]

Pissed at what? The money? The loss? No homers?

You go full well knowing that anything can happen on any given day.

[Fman99]

Fuck.

Anyone who wants to, you know, get a clutch hit, go for it. We won't be mad.

[Fman99]

Shitty play. Watching them making bad throws, swinging at junk, pop ups, shoddy bullpen work, etc., etc., what exactly is there that I'm not pissed about?

I live 320 miles from Shea. I only get to actually attend 1-2 games per year because I have small children and traveling with them is complicated. So when I do get to go, and they play like half-assed bush leaguers, I get pissed.

They don't have to pay anything. The sense of entitlement helps nobody.

The risk of failure is what makes success so fun. Caveat emptor.

[DocTee]

Lots of Schaefer being left in the fridge tonight.

Complete suckitude.

[bmfc1]

With three runs, it looks like the offense did something but they were gifts! Between this and the Rangers loss (Pittsburgh got a PP with 2 minutes left), I'm not smiling right now.

[Guest AG/DC]

As much as anything right now, we should notice that Wright is zero for his last 18, his longest streak as a biggie.

[Guest mario25]

Rangers were up 3-0...Bad call on the last penalty on the Rangers...Crosby gets calls he shouldnt

[Guest mario25]

Why bring Delgado in against a LH

[Guest mario25]

I feel a K comin on....there it is

[Guest AG/DC]

Because they don't have a whole variety of choices.

He fans.

[seawolf17]

Ugly.

[Guest AG/DC]

I said to turn the mother out.

Not ground the mother out.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We don't have a very good team.

You know, waiting for Alou to come back is doing this offense no favors.

[bmfc1]

4 brutal games in the last five. Not tough losses but failures in all parts of the game each time.

They only won with me, Greg and Edgy in attendance.

[Fman99]

Blecch.

[seawolf17]

Someone bring the Pope back.

(And ask if he can get lefties out.)

[Guest mario25]

AWFUL THRU AND THRU

[metirish]

Took my brother to the game , he was here all week form Ireland and tonight was the only chance to see a game , could we have gone and seen a more abject Mets performance , I think not.


The most exciting thing was the fight in the second bank of seating behind the third base dugout , noting more than "handbags at six paces" but more fun than the game.


Mets were fucking brutal.

ROFL!

When Jurrjens walked in the first batter, he clearly was upset and said something in exasperation and walked to the back of the mound, turning his back on the plate as he went to the rosin bag. Tim McClelland -- a veteran umpire of who knows how many freakin years, took off his mask, walked towards the mound and yelled back at the pitcher. Uh, Tim? You're the professional. Keep your ass behind the plate and call the balls and strikes. I though Bobby Cox was perfectly justified in coming out to yell at McClelland for that...even if he did get tossed within about 10 seconds of coming out of the dugout.

Couldn't see the big fight but there was another one on the field level earlier tin the game, down the left field line as well. Can't defend the morons but -- and I've touched on this before here -- there's a real anger that's palpable in the crowd, I think. Lots of Mets getting booed tonight, including Castillo, Delgado, Pelfrey and Feliciano.

It sure seemed like Willie actually called for the hit-and-run when Casanova was batting and Marlon was on first base early in the game. It's not as rare as a squeeze call but it surprising (in a good way) to see.
