IGT - 9/15 Mets at Nationals

[Elster88]

I don't know how she does it but she has the PotG thread usually up the instant the last out is made.

[bmfc1]

On the bright side, uh... wait... oh yeah, they had some good swings in the last two innings (other than DW) so maybe that will carry over to tomorrow.

[metirish]

Jerry talking about giving Parnell another look tomorrow.

I was preparing it during the 9th, but I didn't post it until the final out.

Yeah, this game was his fault.
Take that shit where they'll lap it up.

[Elster88]

Thanks. I couldn't quite figure out how to word it.

[Elster88]

That reminds me, no one ever explained how Castillo got his double. Did he really hit it hard? Were the outfielders playing ten feet behind the dirt?

Liner over SS towards LCF.
Didn't make the wall or anything but Milledge had to go sideways a while for it and Castillo just legged it out by a decent margin.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, that's now 25 runs allowed to these chumps in 3 games.

[DocTee]

It seems hard to believe that since the Natspos moved to DC, the Mets have taken 25 of 34 games there....seems to me that every time we head there, we have trouble.

Little Frayed tonight FK? Geez, that wasn't meant to imply anything, I was just remarking that Castillo made the last out in the last two games.

[Frayed Knot]

NO, it was bashing the easy target (complete w/stupid nickname) because him being the culprit is the pre-arranged story-line and whether it's true or not is a non-issue.

Go sell it somewhere else where there are eager buyers.

[metirish]

Castillo made a very nifty play on defense early in the game to start a DP.At the time a huge play.

Yeah cause there aren't any derrisive nicknames for struggling Mets around here.

And again, how was what I said blaming the last two losses on him, I was just stating the obvious in a factual statement.

Actually, there is very little of that (none to speak of). That is the #1 reason why I no longer read one other forum I could name, and the #2 reason why I no longer read another forum I could name.

[metirish]

Especially now that Nightcrawler is out for the season.

Right, the coincidence of him making the last out was why you brought this up in the first place. And it's why you just happened to throw in the stupid nickname and the contract to boot, as if any of this is even the slightest bit relevant in a game where he got on base twice more than Wright, Beltran & Delgado combined and the staff gave up 5 two-out runs.

You are putting WAY too much stock in a piffy, innocuous statement written in frustration.

Of course if it had been Murphy, or even Jose Reyes who made the final outs of both games I would not have made a comment about their future with the team (or Reyes' big contract). But because it was Castillio who has had a bad, injury riddled year, been given butt kisses all year by the SNY commentators, and will be with this team for three more seasons, yeah my comment had some edge to it. It wasn't meant to lay the blame of the games, or the past week at his feet.

[metirish]

Rogers has an Edge...

[Frayed Knot]

"You are putting WAY too much stock in a piffy, innocuous statement written in frustration"

Only because said statement was stupid, inaccurate, and played to the wrong audience.
Other than that it was fine.



"But because it was Castillio who has had a bad, injury riddled year, been given butt kisses all year by the SNY commentators

Again, save that shit for those whose paranoia rivals the folks walking around with tinfoil hats believing tha 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' was a documentary.



"and will be with this team for three more seasons"

Or not.

Oh, so Gary Cohen has NOT become a complete jock sniffing corporate Yes Man since joining the TV booth, and specifically when it comes to Luis Castillo, who is performing quite Roberto Alomar-esque since he came here?

Jeter.

I believe the proper terms is Alomarian, not Alomaresque.
