IGT 09/02/08 Mets at Milwaukee; Meet Jon Niese

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What a play by N.D.

I should say the Brewers run the bases in this series like a second-place team.

Well that's a break. Nice play by Endy there.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

When Endy says you stop at first, you stop at first, dammit! Do not mess with Endy.

[Guest AG/DC]

What a throw.

Schaefferiffic.

I only have the Brewers TV and they thought it was a bad call at 2d. What did SNY say?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Other than allowing the inherited runner to score, the pen has done well tonight.

Obvious, but I bash it a lot, so I feel obligated to say good things when earned.

[Frayed Knot]

Meanwhile, the 'O' has been shut out since the 3rd

[Elster88]

He was out. It was clear on one of the outfield cams. He also wasn't running hard the whole time.

Harry Coyle...errr Bob Ueker? Or is he just radio?

They got struggle time, they got outstanding time.

Brian Anderson, who isn't bad, with Bill Schroeder.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Weeks busted it out of the box only to make a really shitty turn at first and then drop into a lower gear between first and second. Then he slides feet first but reaches for the bag with his hand. Yost should fine him.

Pedro: Outstanding time!

[bmfc1]

Reyes' relay throw on the DP was comically slow--I think he could have run to 1st and beat Fielder there.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Another Brewer running the bases like shit. These guys don't deserve a playoff slot.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hey pretty good game we got going here.

Bazooka Joe looks like he's lost weight.

[Elster88]

I'm starting to think David is a good fielder.

[Guest AG/DC]

Not for nothing, but has Wright been a superhero on defense the last month or what?

[bmfc1]

Nicely done, Daniel.

Did you see that the Mets will have Murphy playing in the Arizona Fall League as a 2B?

Yup!
I want to pistol-whip every Met fan I hear spouting off the idea of moving Wright to 1st as the main cog in their "solution" to some perceived team problem.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What do you say we take advantage of this break.

[HahnSolo]

The horrendous decision to bunt is softened by terrible defense by Milwaukee.

[stevejrogers]

Yea, extra frames we go. While I critique a selection of Bill Moyers' works and pay attention to this game at the same time!

That's a fine idea. (And not just because I have to be up in 6 hours.)

[Guest AG/DC]

Brilliant.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not fully exploited until Reyes crosses the plate I say.

[stevejrogers]

Nicely done, now 3 more outs, and I'm back to Moyers.

Please also handle the people who think Wright is having a bad year.

I'm more OK with bunts like this, where the hit is first goal, and the sacrifce is the residue.

[Frayed Knot]

Brews fans have been bitching about Yost NOT PH-ing for Kendall, especially now that they have an extra catcher aboard w/the callups.

And Yost goes to the big boy to PH.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Send the fat kid back to Nashville.
