IGT: Mets @ Giants--05/14/09

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Molina and Sandoval looked like Phil and Don Vito in the opening credits of Viva La Bam.

="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr"]Sheff and DWright are wrestling for that Schaefer. 2-out rally = smile time!

Po was the best Teletubby.

I can only imagine what they were drinking before the brainstorming meeting when that show was created.

"Wait, here's my idea, four lumpy humanish things with televisions in their guts!"

"Whoa!"

Bases Loaded. nobody out, Mets only get 1-run seems to be a repeating theme that I've been seeing for years already.

You and every other fan of every other team.

I have a feeling that Manuel has achieved his goal of putting Castro into a slump.

Not every other team.

The Giants, for one, hit significantly better than we do with the bases loaded. The Phillies are playing an entirely different game in the same situation.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

With that walk, Sanchez hits 115 (!) pitches.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Cora still hasn't gotten the memo.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You know I coulda gone to bed there, Beltran.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

And miss seventeen more ads for Bob's Discount Furniture?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Johnny Boy sure does take the scenic route, no?

[Elster88]

John Maine staying on despite already having thrown 108 pitches. I like that a lot. I've hated the majority of Manuel's decisions this year but two good ones so far today.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Last 11 pitches = 5 outs.

Stokes TM-brand relief: Efficient, Dependable Heat.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Damn. Parnell ate up Lewis, but he squirted one out of Parnell's reach for a single.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Oh Bobby, let's get a DP here and get out of this.

He's thrown a first-pitch strike to exactly one batter this inning. Tough to get far when you're constantly fighting your way uphill, you know?

Nice K, Bobby.

[Frayed Knot]

That was a huge K - need one more baby

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Big strikeout of Aurilia. Now just pop up Renteria and get this over with.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fuck. Cora actually does suck

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Dammit. Infield hits.

[Frayed Knot]

Two dinky hits in the inning but he's got no one to blame for the walk.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

]Dammit. Infield hits.

They look like the 1904 Giants.

Lincecum does look like a "Christy."

[Frayed Knot]

Wouldn't it be nice to smack this guy around?
I think it would be fun, fun, fun if we did.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

God only knows what we'll do against this guy.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Beltran's double makes me smiley smile.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I know there's an answer.

[apmorris]

STOLEN!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Double AND a nice slide on a steal of third?
