IGT 13: 4/21/09: at Cardinals Perez vs Wellemeyer

[bmfc1]

I know the Braves overpaid for Lowe but it would have been worth it not to be subjected to this crap from Perez.

[metirish]

Down the swanny goes Ollie.

[seawolf17]

Really? Casey Fossum?

[Fman99]

So Fossum has been a starter in AAA, and now he's thrown in as a RP on his first day in the bigs? With the bases loaded? Dumb.

Should have been Pedro Feliciano in to pitch to the lefty.

[metirish]

Balls

No question. I know Pedro's arm is going to fall off, but lefties can't hit him. Fossum's not a specialist, he's a long man. Dreadful call by Jerry.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Welcome to the Mets, Casey. We prefer strikes here.

[seawolf17]

Irish! Get out of the IGT and play your Scrabble move.

Of course LaRussa could have pinch hit a righty to face Feliciano, I suppose.

Still -- give the rook a fresh inning for his first appearance. Right? I don't get it.

[Fman99]

Marlins lose. This is good.

[Fman99]

Slappy McSinglesmuch with yet another hit. Cora PH for Fossum.

He's not a kid -- he's 31 years old and has pitched almost 800 major league innings -- but still, that's a rough assignment the day you get called up.

[seawolf17]

I like this Castillo kid. He's spunky. We should sign him to a long-term deal.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Perez...Million dollar arm; $0.50 head. He is a bloody horror show out there. Staked with a 4-0 lead, he just oozes trouble from every pore.

I know he's had some big games but his head is the reason two other organizations have given up on him.

[seawolf17]

Catcher's interference?!?! Fucking hell.

And great, it's Yadier.

[seawolf17]

YA! Pretty. I like Stokes.

[Willets Point]

Yadier F Molina with the bases loaded. Crap.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Blue has not been our friend this season.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Nice, calm play by Feliciano getting the lead guy there.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Tony LaRussa, Boy Genius, sends up pitcher Adam Wainwright (from the olde English: Person who makes Wains), and Feliciano makes them both look silly.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This is a grindy game. Who do you go to next?

[seawolf17]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, CARLOS?!?! SLIDE! WHAT THE HELL!!!

Dammit.

yeah. that. what the damn hell is wrong with this team

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Radio is making it sound like Molina had the plate blocked well. Was it as bad as it sounded?

[seawolf17]

Ah, fucking hell, Murphy.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Aw hell, Murph!

[Guest Edgy DC]

There's got to be sliding practice tomorrow. Enough of this shit. He's Molina; he's not a brick wall.

[nymr83]

Murphy, not Church, should lose ABs to Sheffield because i'm not sure you lose anything defensively.

[Guest themetfairy]

I cannot take this fucking game.

Daniel Murphy needs to shuffle off to Buffalo for some fielding lessons. And WTF was Beltran thinking?

Shitfuck!

He had a foot in front of home plate. A slide beats him easily, because the throw was high and Molina couldn't have gotten down in time.
