IGT 08/02, Mets at Astros

[Theoldmole]

Well, maybe...a big K to Ersrtad.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Big strike out!

Richard Lewis was in a Dead Zone episode and was pretty good.

[G-Fafif]

David Newhan sighting! Hide your children!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

So how many years are left in Wagner's contract?

How long is an eternity?

Another blown save as two runs cross the plate at the same time.

[Guest themetfairy]

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!


Fuck!

[G-Fafif]

That was even weirder than the Dodger double-tag. And not nearly as satisfying.

[G-Fafif]

Castro hurt. And Lo Duca's available!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Freaking Wagner. They're going to have to pry Santana from the game with a crow bar next time he's got a lead.

[G-Fafif]

It's the ninth, the Mets are tied and Kaz is up. A scenario that has always filled me with dread in one way or another.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It as if our bullpen draws straws before each game to determine who's turn it is to blow a potential victory.

[G-Fafif]

SIDDOWN!

[Guest themetfairy]

I hat Wagner.

[metirish]

What difference does it make if Newhan is on second or third , he scores on a single , no?

[G-Fafif]

Bring in Jesse.

[metirish]

The way Keith was talking I was sure he was going to leave the booth for a chat on the mound with Wagner.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Well, at least he's out of it.

Let's get it in the 10th, and Billy owes Santana beer.

Who do we send out for the 10th? Already used Show and Smith. Feliciano and Heilman are gas men.....

metirish - "What difference does it make if Newhan is on second or third , he scores on a single , no?"

In most cases, but not always. An infield single for instance may score a runner from third, but not from second. A runner can also score from third on a passed ball or wild pitch.

Upon Edit: A balk is another play where the extra base would make a big difference. I believe Armando balked in Reyes from third a few years back.

[G-Fafif]

Bullpen theme song:

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Santana will learn that he needs to go the distance and do the job himself if he wants to get a win. The Mets bullpen just can't be trusted to hold a lead and preserve a win.

[G-Fafif]

Aaron: One of Willie's guys.

Think Aaron knew he was held in such high esteem?

There was also only one out at the time.
IOW - BIG difference

[Fman99]

Dang.

True , and good points Doc. A part of me was responding to Keith who I thought was beating that to death, Keith hates to see fundamental errors.

[Frayed Knot]

JEEZ-US FUCKIN' CHISTOPHER!!! - can someone get an out here?!?


Meanwhile, we've barely gotten a hit off their pen over 2 games and about 7 innings now.

[G-Fafif]

]What difference does it make if Newhan is on second or third , he scores on a single, no?

We are mere pitches away from discovering it makes no difference.

I mean C'MON OTHER PEDRO!

[metirish]

Philly won tonight , this would be a tough loss , got to win games where Santana pitches like tonight.
