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

[batmagadanleadoff]

Nice stirrups on that Ryan guy, for those who prefer to look away from left field whenever a Met opponent hits the ball there.

[metirish]

Jeez they are playing like it's late September and they can't wait to hit the beach.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Murphy's play was gruesome, but those were two ropes off of Putz so far.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Was Castillo not helping him?

He's getting exposed out there. I know they love his potential bat, but it's just not working. You need to have someone out there who can play, and if you're going to contend, you can't give games away the way they have tonight.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Who's in left tonight: Todd Hundley?

Scored a triple. I don't get that stuff.

Just rewound it, and no. Castillo was still hanging out in the on-deck circle.

And Razor Shines was pointing Beltran back to third; Carlos went on his own. A smart move to go for it, but a dumbass move not to slide.

[Piggiestomatoes]

How Beltran doesn't slide with the play in front of him is amazin'

Very smooth, Mr. Murphy. Oh, yeah. Nice arm, too! Dick.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Good point by Darling - if Beltran scores Murphy isn't out there with the lead.

Because his glove never touched the ball. He started in, then stopped and fell on his ass and the ball flew over his head.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Poor Putz deserved a better fate, though they are hitting the ball hard.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Can't blame Aaron Heilman for this one.

[seawolf17]

Gary's not on his game today. "With Ollie pitching well today"? Are you watching the same game, Gary?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wheels off. Ick.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, I don't think working by the touch-the glove rule is particularly rational. A free throw is still a free throw whether it hits the rim or not.

[Fman99]

Well this game has gone from bad to worse.

How does Beltran not slide?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I get Edgy's point. Falling on your ass is as much an error as dropping the ball. Why one is considered an error every time and the other rarely is makes no sense to me.

That's still better than The Mad Hungarian and some hack I'm watching on the STL Extra Innings feed. I love FIOS but they need to carry the SNY feed.

Yeah. That's clearly an error. A mental error, maybe, because he misjudged it, but an error nonetheless.

Come on, Looie. Let's get this fucking thing started.

[Frayed Knot]

Worst game of the year unless there's a miraculous comeback starting right now! (and seeing as how we haven't scored since the 4th inning ...)

He was fine through four.

Jerry can rip them if he must, but bunting Churchie was his call.

[seawolf17]

Who the hell is this Ryan kid? He looks like he's twelve years old, but he's been positioned perfectly on two shoulda-been hits tonight.

[Fman99]

Last dance last chance for love...

[Frayed Knot]

What the fuck is that 2nd baseman doing there?!?
That's twice now!


This Franklin guy deserves a beating just for that beard alone.

[Fman99]

Well that sucked moose cock.

It was like two different games , horrible second half if I can say that and it makes sense.

[seawolf17]

And Thurston's positioned perfectly too! He must have been playing twenty feet shallow of third base. Fucking hell.

[Guest Edgy DC]

PotG: Pujols.

He's still a traitor to his country.
