IGT Marlins @ Mets, 04/28/09

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The Mets have three innings against this bullpen, a bunch of miscreants, retreads, and bedwetters like I have never seen in my thirty-five years in the game. Let's put up five in the seventh and three in the eighth, and shake hands with Takahashi-san after he puts them away the ninth.

I didn't know that , good for him

And only one blown save.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Give me a break.

Meanwhile, Freddie Gonzalez acting crazy here, pulling a pitcher that has the Mets dumbfounded.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

OK, two innings.

How much Mojo does this team have tonight? Can they pick up their teammate this once?

Would a rally song be futile here?

Its Pedro!..oops, not the one I was hoping for

[Guest Kong76]

[ashie62]

Win or lose..tomorrow being a day game..Castro, Tatis at 2B Cora at 3RD Jeremy Reed gets a start...

and David Wright can get seriously laid..Might help his lumber..

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I like Reed leading off here. I am predicting a comeback of extraordinary magnitude.

[ashie62]

Jose can you hit

[ashie62]

OK Reyes needs to get laid also

[Guest Kong76]

Eek, I'm leaving and I ain't checking to see if I left anything under my seat
and don't plan on arriving home safely.

[ashie62]

Maybe we can reincarnate Andy Kaufman to manage and Tony Clifton to be the bench coach?

Smelly.

Gary says this is the fourth time this season that the Mets have lost after leading a game by 3 runs .

Bobby O when asked about Jerry leaving Green in with Feliciano ready...: Jerry looks to me to be a guy that manages by the book"....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Here's my book. My book says we hired Hernandez because he's durable. Why lift him after 91 pitches?

[ashie62]

Apparently not the good book

[Guest Edgy DC]

The rally that knocked out Hernandez.

• Cameron Maybin singles on a bunt ground ball to pitcher Livan Hernandez. None out.


• John Baker grounds into force out, thirdbaseman David Wright to secondbaseman Alex Cora. Cameron Maybin out at second. John Baker to first. One out.

That's it? There's a team that doesn't deserve to have the opposing starting pitcher lifted.

How about Parnell and Stokes being the 2 guys leading up to Putz and Krod...Green seems very hittable.

[Guest Edgy DC]

My position is that the starting pitcher should be the one guy leading up to that point. The idea that we now need four guys to close out a win seems absurd.

[Gwreck]

That was my thought too. I think there's been too much bullpen used so far this year.

I'm not really upset that the 'pen gave this game away, because we didn't really have any 'pen meltdowns yet this year, and every team is going to have a game or two that their bullpen gives away over the course of the season.

But Jerry needs to have his starters man up a little and take care of things rather than running to the 'pen at the first sign of trouble.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Sean Green's ERA is now 8.49.

I think he'd be a better fit in the starting rotation.
