IGT: Mets @ Giants--05/16/09

Karros: "Tatis is a gamer. Doesn't care if he's in or out of the lineup." Great analysis.

[metirish]

Ninth inning and Karros still hasn't depleted the clich� bag...Tatis = gamer

[Guest Edgy DC]

Way to get into third as at the trailing run by Sheff. I just figure Reed is going in for defense, right? So might as well run him here.

the cliche bag is bottomless, just ask joe morgan

[Guest Edgy DC]

See what happens when you let Castro bat for himself in the ninth?

Jerry = learning.

Good point. That Wednesday afternoon game against the Marlin still stings.

[Guest Kong76]

Well, they got the insurance runs.

Let's wrap this baby up.

Edgy is an Castro agenda driven poster nah nah nah nah nahnah.
Jerry = learning, lol.

That's what she said.

*chortle chortle*

[Guest Edgy DC]

Down to Freddy Lewis.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

They using Putz here in a save situation to give Rodriguez a rest, or to stop Putz from whining about pitching in the eighth?

[bmfc1]

Putz throwing hard. The adrenalin must be pumping.

[Guest Kong76]

J. J. is DY-NO-MITE!!

(I didn't just type that, did i?)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rodriguez has pitched four days in a row, on two coasts, getting a win, two saves, and a two-inning ND in a tie game.

Putz was sitting a 95 with his fastball. Nice to see.

[Frayed Knot]

"The Mets have never swept a four-game series in SF" -- Kenny Albert, several times today

1) Four-game series are RARELY swept ... by anyone at anytime

2) Now cut that number in half (less really) to do it on the road

3) then figure that four-game series are rarely PLAYED ... particularly by inter-division opponents where first 2, and now 1 visits per year are the rule


Networks are great at passing off meaningless trivia as if important data.

Howie: "J.J. [u:14fed6aec6]puts [/u:14fed6aec6]it in the books!"

[Frayed Knot]

Oh yes and open book, insert game.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Good win! Nice to see them get some runs for Johan.

[metirish]

"Make no mistake about it".......

[Guest Kong76]

Agreed on the early run support. It's nice to see, but more importantly it
shuts up the media for five more days about how he probably wants to jump
off bridges and take a few down with him in unbearable frustration.

[Guest Kong76]

And I just have to say in parting, Karros ain't nearly as bad as some of you
made out for what he's called on to do.

[Ceetar]

anyone seen my broom?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Haven't seen any of the "Mets lack an edge" columns lately, either.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

ceetar - "anyone seen my broom?"

I'm quite sure that if all goes well tomorrow the solemn old guy will show up to peddle his wares.

And he sounded like he had been saving that one up all year.
Who needs John Sterling?
That line was a classic.

Later

[Fman99]

I love the 4 PM start, I get my afternoon nap in and don't miss 5-6 innings of the game like usual.

Same deal tonight with the 8 PM primetime game.

[soupcan]

How the hell are you able to pull off a mid afternoon nap on a weekend with two little kids in the house?
