IGT, May 2: Mets @ Phils

[Frayed Knot]

Nice 2-out/none-on rally: HR, HR, 3B

Got rid of the old man - now we need at least one more hit here and we're really cooking with gas (whatever that means).

[Frayed Knot]

Scott Eyre pitching like Jane

(and who doesn't like a little literary humor on a Saturday afternoon?)

[bmfc1]

Something I never thought I'd say: when Eyre walked Reyes, I said that I rather have Castillo up.

Oh it would work. Trust me.

If Reed was the pinch runner, maybe he beats the throw.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jeez, I went out to do yard work and nobody posted since then.

Five-five in the ninth. Good game here as Wright walks with one out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Amazing that Castro ended up getting pulled anyhow.

Unless Reed was going to catch there's no point in burning two players when
I think they're down to like one guy left on the bench (maybe two).

[Guest Kong76]

Between your man crush on Castro and us all voting too high for starting
pitching in the Shaefer thingie, you're on a bad roll this week.

[bmfc1]

You have a valid point about not using two players but I don't have any sort of crush on Castro--I just thought that Jerry handled the situation badly on Wed.

[Guest Kong76]

Sorry, the second post is to The Edgemeister.

Oh, I don't feel one way or another about Castro, although his huge mandible blows my mind. I just find the situation fascinating.

Don't forget my pissing into the wind about Manuel's hook.

How about that Cora?

[Guest Kong76]

Cora in the middle of things again. The booth sings praise.
Guess they don't read the board.

holy moly

Our lefties are hitting lefties today.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ouch. Murder.

Reyes needs to put down a better bunt than that if we're going to play winning baseball. What's so hard about squaring up and putting one down?

[bmfc1]

In DC, the HD signal on FOX has disappeared. What about in NY?

Leadoff guys often do this. Their instinct is to bunt for hits or to knock it foul.

Maddening, I know.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yes, I'd have come out with Rodriguez instead of Green. Get out of save-mode, Jerry.

Same here in Brooklyn.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bases jammed, two out for Shane Victorino.

[Guest Kong76]

I still got HD in central Westchester ... bases jammed with two outs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Comes back from 2-0 to 2-2, and...

[Guest Edgy DC]

3-2. Yikes...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fuckmuffin.

[Guest Kong76]

Feh.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Saved Rodriguez for the save and put this sucker in Green's hand.

[metirish]

Nine walks today , it caught up with us....

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Dammit. Absolutely horrible.
