IGT 05/23, Mets at Rockies

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Show us your Tatis!!

[Guest themetfairy]

And looking like an instant replay, Tatis homers as well!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Foul ball!!!

Oh wait, that's only in the Bronx.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice shot by our current starting LFer

[Guest AG/DC]

My new favorite album.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I'm glad to see Delgado going to left and left centerfield more. of late He seems to stay on the ball better when he's not trying to pull everything.

[Elster88]

Can Tatis play left? Fuck it give him a start. Not that we have a choice.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yorvit! Yorvit all to hell!

[Valadius]

I have come to the conclusion that the primary source of our funk this season is the lack of production from Carlos Delgado. If he goes on a roll, hopefully we will as well.

Gary mentioned that Yorvit and his agent are taking the Mets to court over " backing out " of the contract he had or thought he had....

Out-fucking-stading Sherlock.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A walk, there's a surprise.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Calling it now: Joe Smith induces the triple play!

[Gwreck]

Just got back from the House of Evil where the the Mariners got the snot pounded out of them. Gave me some perspective on the season, because as bad as it's been for the Mets so far, I could be much worse.

Glad to see the Mets taking advantage of Coors. Nice HR by Delgado.

[Guest AG/DC]

Don't beg.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Perez threw 110 pitches tonight; 56 of which were strikes. It's hard to be effective like that. For someone that appears to have very good stuff, he unfortunately has too little command of the strike zone. He seems to be constantly working behind in the count which results in him throwing too many pitches. He's giving up too many free passes which ultimately come back to haunt him. I find most of his his outings to be maddening.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Holy shit, Fernando. Nice catch, sorta.

[Theoldmole]

Thank God for big gloves.

[Guest AG/DC]

On-the-job learning for Tatis.

[Guest AG/DC]

Let's score 11.

[Guest AG/DC]

Rockies broadcaster on learning that Damion Easley is pinch hitting: "They've got some relics on their team, don't they?"

[Frayed Knot]

Good things happen when you seing the bat Damion (and Willie)

I was probably getting an incomplete view of things (seeing as how I was only half-watching the game) but it seemed to me that the Yanx set some kind of record for consecutive cheap hits tonight.
Not that it would have made any difference with that kind of score ... but, aside from Dunca's HR, all I saw were dunkers and bleeders. About 25 of them in a row.

[Guest AG/DC]

Helton looks like Zvon.

Nice inning for The Show. Battled the right hander.

[Guest AG/DC]

Get Willie some insurance here.

I mean, get your team some insurance. Yeah, that's it.

That would be it exactly. They got 9 runs (6 cheap) off Bedard in 4 and a third. And then beat up on the reliever that came in, again with the cheap hits. Real sad days in Seattle.

Meanwhile, back on topic, Scott Schoeneweis = our best reliever this year not named Wagner?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Show has been pretty solid since last September, dare I say.

Smitty is the POR right now but this might be one of them games when the scorer might award Show with the W instead. Provided we hold it and all.

[Frayed Knot]

Smith pitched a full inning, giving up only 1 hit and no runs of his own (2 inherited).
No way does the Official Scorer not give him the win with an outing like that (assuming he stays POR of course).

Sucks for Show that he'll get no "Official Stat" out of his nice outing but thems the breaks.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well, there's an academic discussion for ya.

Fing Wagner.
