IGT - Mets at Yankees - 6/27/08 (Game 2)

[Guest AG/DC]

You ever lose a game by that much and think about the break here and there that could have turned it around? It's like had the bases loaded the entire first half of the game,

Pedro's not pissing me off (except when he fails to cover first) nearly as much as the hitters not plating the runs. You give a pitcher nothing to work with, givng up two and giving up six is all the same. In fact, I think they're more vulnerable to big innings because they try to be too perfect with men on base, and dig themselves in deeper.

Yup!
Two early ABs in particular: Reyes's pop-up (bad AB) and Castro's GiDP (good AB - bad result).
Also, to continue my on-line rant from the first game (and my years-long rant in private), while
we were not getting it done in those ABs the Skanks were hitting balls TOO SHITTY to make
outs or turn DPs.
Obviously that changed later on as they started to get some real hits but the number of
bad-swing/good result ABs that team gets has got to lead the planet.
I know that's probably irrational but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The only thing enjoyable about that was hanging with a couple of my coworkers in various places around the place.

=Gwreck] I can hardly remember more painful Shea Stadium experience that didn't involve playoff implications.

What he said. BLEAH!
