IGT: Mets @ Dodgers--05/19/09

[Gwreck]

I liked it even more before Gary announces on the broadcast that Sheffield wasn't feeling well yesterday and was kept out of today's lineup for the same reason.

Seriously, Jerry? You couldn't just go with Murphy against the lefty? It wasn't as if you couldn't see that the Dodgers had a righty ready in the event you went to Sheffield.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice to see Manuel learning his lesson with the overmanaging.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't mind that move so much.

[Gwreck]

I don't out-and-out root for home runs too much (not that I hate seeing them), but damn, we could *really* use one from Church right now.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Church must seek forgiveness.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright as tying run with no out, I'll take any positive from Church I can get.

Wade isn't throwing too hard, and I'd like to do it here before we get to Broxton.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fart, now the whole game comes down to this fish batting 6th for the 4th time tonite.

[Gwreck]

How about a pinch hitter NOW, Jerry? Tatis could play second.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Holy shit I just noticed he changed numbers.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Now, I'd have no probelm looking to Tatis here.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jesus Christ, Jerry. Messes with everything, but lets this situation happen.

[Gwreck]

Yeah, that was particularly brutal.

I don't understand why it's perfectly apparent to me that Ramon Martinez's peak contributions to the Mets have come and gone yet Jerry Manuel can't figure that out.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Why is Ramon Martinez in there instead of Castillo?

I hat West Coast trips. Doesn't seem like too many good things happen on them.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

well i'm out. booooooooo jerry

[Gwreck]

Yeah. I'm still with Tug but it should be pretty clear that the chance to win just left the building.

I guess because for every "Angel Pagan bats leadoff and gets 4 hits" there's a "Ramon Martinez bats 6th (!!), strikes out three times and hits a inning-crushing GIDP."

I don't know that Ramon love is his problem, but he should have pinch hit there.

I tried to mention this, but Ramon (1) had gotten into only 9 games in Buffalo, and (2) was the only viable callup.

I'd have no problem with a Castillo pinch-hitting appearance there either.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Great play by Wright anytush.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reed, Santos, and Pagan scheduled to face Broxton in the ninth.

That's like three hobbits against a Balrog, man.

Only went four innings last night. No drinking = no late night wit and wisdom from me.

But jeez, we don't get a getaway matinee today? I was hoping for a 4 PM start or something I could watch/listen to in its entirety. Fuck.

Offday tomorrow precludes need for said matinee.

Plus, are you kidding me? Dodger fans arrive in the third inning for evening games... the daytime crowd would be comparable to that of a middle-school soccer game, with marginally more stabbing.
