IGT Pods @ Mets 8/6/08

[TransMonk]

Late start on the IGT here. Mets down 2-1 going to the bottom of 2.

[metirish]

Murphy looking good at the plate again, Castillo will play nine tonight and Jerry says he'll have to fight for playing time....

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Pedro gives up a homer to Gerut to open the game. After getting an out, Pedro quickly surrenders another bomb, this time to Giles.

[TransMonk]

Pedro has looked great since the 2 bombs, though.

We'll see what he has in innings 5 and 6 which, along with the first, have been his trouble innings.

We need some runs, O.

Too bad he can't pitch like Relaford.

[Guest AG/DC]

Hey, check it out! 2-1!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Though I might have preferred a triple, Murph's bunt single wasn't a terrible idea. Took a very nice play by Baek to get him.

Anyway, Schneider.

[Guest AG/DC]

Intentionally walking Schneider to pitch to Pedro was pretty funny.

First and third here, but the pitcher up. Play up or back at short and second?

[Guest AG/DC]

Dan Warthan needs a new number. He goes to the mound, and I get thoughts of Guillermo Mota.

[Guest AG/DC]

Pedro pitches out of it, despite getting some squeezage by Bruce Dreckman.

He's got an ERA under six (yeah!) and 79 pitches through five.

There's a chance he could go two more.

[Guest AG/DC]

Leadoff single by Reyes.

Jerry, don't bunt, and I'll send you, um, this licorice.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'll be home with the gasoline
You'll be stoned, you'll be far away

[metirish]

Wright gets doubled off at first base, forgot how many outs there were....Christ.

[Guest AG/DC]

Murphy and Wright on the bases seems to equal bad news these days.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think Wright had too many Molly Beers before this series.

[Guest AG/DC]

Uhhh, typically I'm all good with sending the pitcher up here. But considering he's going one more inning, tops, I dunno.

[Guest AG/DC]

Hey, Pedro, run, you girly man!

[TransMonk]

I'm alright with it if he gets through this inning.

This has been his best start this season and I'm not quite ready to hand it to the bullpen.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Sending Pedro back out? His longest start of the season, I think. Good for him!

[TransMonk]

A leadoff double gets the bullpen anyways.

Good outing by Pedro...and yes his longest of the season.

And married life means we're watching Project Effing Runway.

GameCast... up!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dude, it re-runs at 11!

Here it's ' So You Think You Can Dance'....I'm going doing the garbage , at least then I can listen on the radio.

[Guest AG/DC]

Yeah, alright if he gets through the inning. But, as we see, big if.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'd've liked Smith against Gonzalez here.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Take a fucking day off David.

[Guest AG/DC]

Oh, blammit.

Yeah, but that's WAY past bed time.

Giles hit a cue-shot towards 3rd which skip-bounced past David to allow the go-ahead run in.
