IGT 08/16, Mets at Pirates

[seawolf17]

I was sure we were looking at a three-car pileup right there. Glad that one fell out of play.

[Guest KC]

AG: Whydon'tcha post this shit for us latecomers, guys?<<<

Let us know when you'll be late, and we'll consider posting that shit :-)

Stokes scoreless 8th.

[Guest KC]

Kunz in to get three in the ninth.

About time! Let's see what he can do.

[stevejrogers]

Ruh-roh!

Need a nice Triple Play here!

[seawolf17]

Oh, this is why they haven't let Kunz pitch.

(Of course, if they let him pitch once in a while, he might remember where the strike zone is.)

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Not gonna inspire confidence that way.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

2 ground balls and an HBP. He needs to keep it in the strike zone, though.

3 runs maybe.

[Fman99]

Shaky.

[seawolf17]

Someone lock Aaron Heilman in the clubhouse bathroom.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

OK, Jerry. Come and get him.

[TransMonk]

I really wish we didn't need Kunz to be throwing ML innings this season.

I'm looking at you Omar.

[stevejrogers]

Come on Joey, take it home.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

He was just trying to get them within three runs so someone could get a save.

That would be the glass half-full version.

Chad Bradford would have looked nice tonight.

Wonder what the Mets can pick up between now and the 31st.

LOL!

[stevejrogers]

Come on. DP right here.

[stevejrogers]

Marlins leading the Cubbies 2-1 tonight, in the 8th.

[seawolf17]

You know? My wife said "Pedro's pitching like Johan Santana tonight!" earlier this evening.

Fucking hell, bullpen.

Let's go, Other Pedro.

[stevejrogers]

Feliciano in. Come on, lets bring this sucker in for the landing!

[seawolf17]

Oh JEEZUS I was sure that was a home run off the bat.

Two out.

[seawolf17]

/exhales

[stevejrogers]

One more out to go.

[stevejrogers]

Wolfie, did you pick up one of those Topps packs from any of your usual channels?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Scarier than it should have been, but we'll take it!

[TransMonk]

Save that shouldn't have ever been for Feliciano. I'm getting sick of this shit.

If Wagner is gone for any extended period of time past Monday, we are seriously fucked.

[stevejrogers]

A win is a win, but yeah, this pen is still looking mighty scary. Even with a healthy Wagner.

This is what we are going to war with heading into the final month and a half of the regular season?

Really? I'm looking at all the bloggers that have been drooling for him to close.

Nothing wrong with giving the guy a gander.

[TransMonk]

A gander is fine...in September. It seems to me that he is being looked at to contribute in meaningful games this season. It feels desperate, and for a guy that had only pitched 60 pro innings, none above AA, unreasonable as well.
