IGT 5-14-08 Nats at Mets

[stevejrogers]

Okay, heart of the order here in the bottom of the 7th.

Beltran skies out.

Thats a nice chopper for a hit for Endy.

ANOTHER bloopish hit for Delgado, first and third for Schneider!

[Centerfield]

Heilman may suck, but it pisses me off how Willie is the only one in the Stadium who doesn't realize it. At 3-1, two runners in scoring position, you have to give him the hook before a base hit puts it out of reach.

I hate Willie. Fire the asshole.

[stevejrogers]

Run scoring single, 5-2 now

DAMN! But they were nibbling all inning there.

Six more tries to get at least 3 runs.

[stevejrogers]

Nice brisk 1-2-3 by Smith in the 8th.

[stevejrogers]

Aright, one on for Reyes.

And Reyes flies out.

Come on Ryan...

Ball 4!

Here is Wright with the tying run and Acta goes to the pen, and from Zvon's Photobucket account comes John Cleese!

[Guest AG/DC]

It's a good day to be a hero David.

Oh, it's a fine day.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, I think we got a shot still here.

[stevejrogers]

Note to self, maybe its not good to play with other's karma related things...

[stevejrogers]

ALRIGHT BELTRAN!

5-3 as Beltran ropes a hit off of Rauch

[Guest AG/DC]

It's a good day to be a hero, Carlos.

Oh, it's a fine day.

[Willets Point]

Holy shit, I'm actually watching a live Mets game for the first time in ages.

Yay Carlos!

[Guest AG/DC]

Can Moises come back?

No matter, I like lefties against Rauch.

[stevejrogers]

UGH!

DAMN COCK TEASING METS!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Shut up Rogers. The game isn;t over.

Our game at least.

[stevejrogers]

Take it easy JCL, I'm not declaring the game over, just reacting to the end of the inning.

I didn't know that Aaron Spelling couldn't act.

That was a good inning though.

[Guest AG/DC]

[stevejrogers]

Well this game is making me feel like having...ehem...

One burbon,
one scotch,
one beer...

[stevejrogers]

BLEH! 5-3 loss

Fast forward to the piano part at the end of Layla

[Fman99]

How does Willie keep going to Heilman in close games, while Smith and Feliciano and every other live arm just sitting in the pen?

This shit drives me ca ca coo coo.

Willie trusts his gut , remember he's a winner.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Though Willie states the Mets don't have room for specialists, he seems to view Feliciano and Smith just as that. I particularly don't understand his hesitancy to use Feliciano more in the late innings of close games.

[Gwreck]

Alou's ejection (1st of the year for the Mets) wasn't just for arguing, it was for him slamming the bat down on the plate as soon as he was called out.

After he went back into the dugout, some equipment (probably his helmet and bat) got thrown onto the field.

Terrible crowd. They not only booed the crap out of Aaron, the also booed Willie heavily as he walked back to the dugout after giving the ball to Smith.

Oh yeah, that's right. I tend to forget that during all of the losing and idiotic moves he makes.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Papers today say Wise was unavailable since he worked the day before, and Schoeneweis was hospirtalized yesterday with a stomach thingy that "turned his arms blue."

Though it's definitely getting to the point where in that situation, there's every reason just to go to Smiff and try for a DP.

That prolly means seeing Heilman later, however, which is why on a game-by-game basis it's hard to kill Willie for bullpen moves.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm starting to think that Heilman might be well-served by being Trachseled. In other words, sent to AAA for a few weeks to get himself turned around.

[Guest AG/DC]

Yup. (OE: Yup to understanding the greater context of Heilman's status.)

If we insist on being in a hanging mood, we should save some for the offense that asks our pitchers to go out there with no margin for error.

[Frayed Knot]

Two hits off of Tim freakin' Redding can't be dismissed.

[metirish]

Fair point there edgy , although there is plenty of booing saved for them as well . It's tough watching Easley play second , he's got no range at all.
