[Piggiestomatoes]

Thanks, Jerry. DOUCHE.

2 run single, and the runners advance to 2nd and 3rd on murphy's ill-advised throw home. throw to third, muph!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yuck.

How about playing matchups, man?

[nymr83]

NOW they bring Stokes in? down 4 runs they might as well ask feliciano to find another out.

Coming to a bookstore near you, How Not to Manage Your Bullpen by Jerry "What Was I Thinking" Manuel.

[Fman99]

Atrocious bullpen "management" tonight. Boo, Jerry.

Was he here last year? Feliciano has no business pitching to Diaz.

Seriously. Take that shit to a soccer game where it belongs.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Feliciano did his job this inning, which was to get the lefthander McCann. He got the weak dribbler that should have ended the inning.

Manuel apparently went brain dead this inning. I would argue that he was pretty quick with the hook on Santana, but he further compounded that decision by leaving Feliciano in to face a right handed hitter, Diaz, in a match up that quite obviously favored the Braves,even though Stokes was ready in the pen.

[Fman99]

LONG double for Wright.

Let's fire up the ol' rally caps!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jerry set himself up for the bad matchup when he needed a good one by playing for matchups when he didn't need to so much.

So say I.

And my dog.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Up four runs...I'll trade you two outs for one. Very unproductive at-bats.

[Guest Kong76]

I dunno, but I'm just going to say Reyes should be hangin' his head for
that inning more than Jerry (knowing I'm late to the hat for Jerry segment of
this IGT).

[Guest Edgy DC]

Lowe is being pulled too early also.

Reyes booted that ball, no doubt about it. BUT... it's compounded by the fact that Jerry fell asleep at the switch from that point on.

Omir gets a nice round of applesauce here.

[Guest Kong76]

Was there someone up in the bullpen ready to go?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The announcers in the ESPN booth were talking as if Stokes was up and ready to go. I couldn't swear to it though.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Stokes. As mentioned, Diaz eats lefties.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes still looks depressed.

[Guest Kong76]

I was on the phone (not to the bull pen) and it all unraveled so quickly and
I had the sound muted.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes and Castillo fanning makes me depressed.

I'm scoring the L to you if the Mets don't come back.

I thought metfairy gets the L for posting that Billy Joel clip?

[Guest Kong76]

I'll take the L every 8th day after 7 wins if we can find a way to arrange it.

JCL gets the L for being snarky about it.

[metirish]

WTF would you throw home like that Carlos?

[Guest Kong76]

What thread is this Joel clip in? I can't keep up with ya'll sometimes.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

You can't win 'em all. Well, you can, of course, but no one ever does.
