IGT 05/06, Mets at Dodgers

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ouch. Castillo drilled in the kree.

[Theoldmole]

Staying in.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I know Kuo throws hard and is a pretty good pitcher, but the Mets are making him look like Sandy Koufax. Five k's in 1.2 innings of relief is pretty sick.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh for fuck's sake.

Why do I stay up for this?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

BOOOOOO

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I hat baseball.

[Gwreck]

Let me be the first to say I've had about fucking enough of Hong Chi Kuo.

P.S. Whatever stat Gary and Ron were using for Kuo's "amazing" numbers versus the Mets obviously did not include 2006 NLDS Game 2, where we beat him just fine.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yup.

Meantime, I think this may be the last night in a while we'll be seeing Figueroa. Perhaps they whack him when Wise is ready, skip his turn next time around, which I belive is pssible, then see if Tony Armas or Ruddy Lugo are up to the task. If we're employing a get-by strategy until Pedro returns I think the "hot hand " may be the way to go.

[Gwreck]

Well, Figueroa's next scheduled start would be against the Nationals on Monday - I wouldn't be too adverse to giving him that start. But I'd rather not have him go against the MFYs next weekend.

[TransMonk]

Cy Young Chi Kuo.

This team has been pretty rotten in LA so far this week.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Bad things happen on the West Coast. Other than 'Zona, we never seem to do well out there. (Not that 'Zona is on the West Coast, but we always play them on the West Coast trips.)

Inside the park homer? Yeesh.

[Guest Triple Dee]

13 LOB is quite pathetic.

Stupid Dodgers..

Can't say I was shocked when I saw the score this morning , a bit stunned to see it featured an inside the parker.

The boo for the record was for David Wright mistaking Delgado for Wilt Chamberlain following the inside-the-parker.

Wright completely murdered the Mets last night and owes me at least an hour of sleep. I fibnally gave up after he whiffed with Church on 2nd in the 8th. Church's 1-2-3 DP was also a killer. Figgy? Yeah he was pretty frickin suck too. Give me Tony Armas Jr.

[soupcan]

You know what though - there were two plays earlier in the game that if Wright didn't make would've put the game in the Doyers pocket early.

As easily as this game should've ended 8-3 Mets, it became a 5-4 L.A. win.

[Guest AG/DC]

Wright needs a night off.

Here's hoping that Beltran's pays off.
