Memorial Day IGT Nationals at Mets, 05/25/2009

[ashie62]

don't come callin, in times of trouble

[ashie62]

Parnell, Parnell don't make me wait ...you

bullpen pitchers wont get any dates

[ashie62]

fuktard..it was the teletubbies

[Guest Kong76]

sea: Can we cut it out with the creepy babies and Teletubbies? This is a fricking IGT. Why doesn't someone just post some Billy Joel lyrics so the Nationals can score eight runs this inning?

And he's talking to Davey, who's still in the navy, and probably will be for life?

Parnell walking a lot of guys, three, one scores.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

What's with Parnell not being able to throw strikes? Walking in runs sucks!

[ashie62]

Springsteen lyrics could really open the gates

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Feliciano summoned to hopefully clean up Parnell's mess.

[ashie62]

Yo La Tengo!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Feliciano does his job and Manuel summons Putz in hopes of getting the third out.

[Guest Kong76]

Nats leave the bases loaded!

Perhaps his generosity is an ill-timed tribute to the sacrifices of our nation's servicemen and women?
Good on you, Pedro (who, it should be noted, Dunn has a 6-10 lifetime batting record against). Finish it, chin pubes.

[Guest themetfairy]

Wright's throw gets to first in time to end the inning.

Whew!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets escape further damage.

Time to get that run back and quit the Billy Joel lyrics.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Phew!

Now, the Teletubbies proved they were in a New York State of Mind by crossing through Times Square, an omen of good luck, like the youtube lof the guys marching around the bases.

Tinky Winky, of course, is a Piazza tribute.

On edit, sorry Doc -- I posted that before seeing your request...

BTW: After 101 PA, Sheff now batting .277, slugging .500, and getting on-base at a .410 clip. Also, he's been surprisingly spry on the bases-- 1 SB, 3 first-to-thirds on singles-- and the team's second-most sure-handed left fielder.

In retrospect, I'm okay with the signing. Anyone still object to this union?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Sheff's doing better than I expected he would. Proved me wrong.

Seems I was very wrong about it. I figured the guy was done.

[Piggiestomatoes]

JJ Pubes coming back out in the 8th? Let's go Wright.

The lighter bat certainly has to help. Heard he dropped from 35 oz to 32.

Smart move.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hey, same here. It seemed low-risk, but I admit to being more than a bit confused.

But we don't need recriminations; we need insurance.

LET'S!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

GO

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Mets!!!!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Good thing we gave them an out that inning.

(sarcasm detector explodes)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fourteen walks this game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Putz pisses me off. Every game he enters grinds down into the most boring contest you ever saw.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I've come to the conclusion that Jerry Manuel apparently believes that 27 outs are just too many so he likes to give 2 or 3 away each game whenever the opportunity presents itself.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not even close, fatass.

(uh, fatass = Putz)

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Are the walks an issue with the home plate umpire? Is he squeezing everyone? Or are these guys just wild as hell tonight?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ah... the traditional eighth-inning-opening walk from Putz.

It's almost comforting, giving you a sense of time and place... like hearing "Pomp and Circumstance" before a graduation ceremony or Mendelssohn at a wedding.
