IGT - 9/15 Mets at Nationals

[Centerfield]

It was in Washington last year that I first felt like they may blow the damn thing. I dub tonight a BIG GAME.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We need Pedro not to suck. I don't mean, throw a 3-hitter and whiff 10. Just not to suck.

[HahnSolo]

Agreed. But my confidence in Pedro is pretty much shot.

I have a real fear about these four games.

[Farmer Ted]

It's Darth Vader eve.

[metirish]

If Pedro can't give a good showing against this team then I fear for this season , still the Nats are sure to be pumped up to face the Mets.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

By the way unlikely that Easley will play tonite or for several days. He tweaked something while costing us Saturday's game with that DP.

[metirish]

Castillo needs to seize this chance and get back in as a regular.

And he has to personally bat in about 10 runs. More if possible. And pitch a complete game.

[Frayed Knot]

The good news is that we scored 23 runs on these guys during the most recent two game series.
The bad is that we let up 18 in the process.

No way should that team be getting 18 runs off anybody much less off a (supposedly) good staff.

[metirish]

Nats hitting Pedro hard early doors , 1-0 Nats.

[Guest mario25]

It is early but Lannan seems to be foolin the fellas

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Doesn't seem like Pedro's gonna last too long, though I hope he was just shaking off some rust there.

Seems like Figgy is the designated long guy. Hopefully we won't need him until at least the sixth!

And knowing they did that to Perez and Pelfrey gives one pause over the blood they could shed with 84-mph Pedro out there.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

How in the heck is Anderson Hernandez batting .340? What is that, 120 points higher than he did with us?

How about Castillo's range? He's good for at least six inches, either way!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

The Schneid's been swinging a decent bat for a while now. Decent in relative terms, of course

And we have our first run!

[Elster88]

Castillo is a good fielder. Let's not fall to the lowest common denominator of beating on the whipping boy.

[Elster88]

This guy Lannan ought to win the Cy Young. Sick.

[bmfc1]

Did you Castillo on that one? He is awful. I wish he wasn't.

[Guest themetfairy]

The sound quality of tonight's broadcast is awful. I can hardly make out what Gary and Ron are saying.

[Elster88]

Are you hearing a buzzing? I am.

[Guest themetfairy]

D-Dad says it's that the crowd mike is pumped up too loud.

Yeah I can hear people in the crowd better , Pedro is doing us a solid tonight.

[metirish]

Sorry.

[Elster88]

Haha I saw that irish. It won't matter. The Mets aren't going to score any more. They're already swinging at all that slop Lannan is throwing. Outside inside up down. 1 fucking hit. Fuck the Mets. I hate baseball. And myself.

[Guest KC]

My audio is fine tonight.

As for this IGT, I'm afraid "it's" happening again.

Ya know. "It."

[TransMonk]

Hey, O...score some runs!
