I-G-T 5/13/09 Get Away Afternoon Fun at Citi vs the Braves

[G-Fafif]

Keith suggested Ramon's quad could be an issue in extra innings. His father once marveled to him, he added, that Gary Carter caught that entire nineteen-inning game in Atlanta 24 years ago.

It's Johan's throw day.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Also, our Master of the Double-Switch just moved up the pitcher's slot by two hitters. Well played, Checkers.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I thought this game would be over before it was time to get in the car.

I have two German lessons to take while I'm driving. Listening to the Mets on WFAN will disrupt my plans!

yeah. i understand firing your last bullet if you have a runner in scoring position, but to use up Reed and Santos, likely your last two hitters (if Delgado was available wouldnt we have seen him already?), in such low percentage to score spots i dont like

[metirish]

Just what we need hitting the West Coast , extra innings game on consecutive days.

[MFS62]

Livian is a lifetime .230-something hitter.

werden das Mets Ihr Herz wieder brechen!

[G-Fafif]

The Prado is overrated as a museum, too.

[nymr83]

="MFS62"]Livian is a lifetime .230-something hitter. Later

a good reason to use him before bringing your last reliever into the game, because he wont pinch-hit for anyone else and takahashi basically cant be removed at this point unless a starter is going to pitch

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Damn. Would need an epic comeback here. But at least it's the top of the order.

[Centerfield]

Well Fuck.

[nymr83]

Prado spanks one, but theMets will have the top of the order in the bottom of the inning to try and get it back off Mike Gonzalez.

[Benjamin Grimm]

="metsguyinmichigan"]Damn. Would need an epic comeback here. But at least it's the top of the order.

Epic? They're only one run down.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jerry doesn't want to miss a chance to insult Castro.

Good call. I meant in terms of battling back twice already.

Gonzalez is very "get-em-back"-able as a closer.

[G-Fafif]

Entering 2009, the Mets have lost ten games in which a Met has hit a grand slam, the most recent of them the infamous Murphy on third, nobody out ninth-inning debacle of last September.

On the other hand, they had five baserunners thrown out last night and won on a walk.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes is very comebackable as a hitter.

[G-Fafif]

Fuck this fucking field and its fucking ninety-foot fence.

[Fman99]

Wayne Hagin's voice actually cracked on that one.

Leadoff double for Reyes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bunt here? What say?

[G-Fafif]

And fucking run, Jose. RUN!

It wasn't the fence that went into a premature trot.

[nymr83]

]It wasn't the fence that went into a premature trot.

how bout "fuck a fuckign athlete who gets paid for his speed and doesnt run hard in extra innigns?"

[Fman99]

Blerch. Strikes out on 3 pitches. Two down for Sheff.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I can see what's coming: Wright will end the game, stranding the tying run at third.
