IGT--Mets @ Pirates, 06/04/09

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Horrible game for Pelf.

The Pirates should be a little spot of brightness and glee on the schedule, not a three-game butt-kicking.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Potentially getting swept by the lowly Pirates... I'm getting a sense of deja vu. Has this happened in the last year or two?

[ashie62]

Lose 3 to the Pirates..you gotta be shittin me

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

fuck

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Also, did Jason Jaramillo (5-10, 3 runs, 1 HR, a shitton of RBI) sacrifice a virgin before this series, or what?

[Guest mario25]

Mets are looking for a bat but a legitimate number 2 starter behind Johan would fit the bill nicely. Ex....Johan,Oswalt, Pelfrey, Maine, Perez when he comes back but Livan until then. I also think Murphy isnt woth the 250 average right now when he cant catch a cold. If he was hitting .340 I would say different. Derosa would fit in nicely and be useful when Delgado comes back.

Is Delgado coming back?

Yes..McCutcheon

[Fman99]

Far from over... another run and now I think Ohlendork is getting the hook.

September 2006, in Pittsburgh. The Mets were looking to get their division clincher, and the Pirates made them wait. (Much like the Phillies did at the Vet 20 years earlier.)

Fartman derails Ohlendorf

Mets pull this one out..hang in

[Guest Edgy DC]

The heck with trade talk. WIN IT FOR KEN!

[ashie62]

WIN IT FOR BARBIE

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So how many more of these games do we need before we can go with F-Bomb, officialmente? Do we need a multi-HR game?

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's nice to see a manager resist the urge to stretch his starter to 5 innings so he can get credit for a win.

The save stat is the primary example of a statistic influencing a game. The 5-inning win is in second place.

Since when did the board endorse nicknames?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let Ken hit.

[Fman99]

Emil "Muzz" Brown dorks his first pitch as a Met back to the pitcher for an inning ending out.

Welcome to the quad-AAA Mets fever, catch it!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Email brown out on the first pitch.

Ken kould have done that.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Ya know, if the pen can shut these punks down, we have a shot at getting this one back.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Mets get E-mail bounceback.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

They-Asked-for-Unagi-So-We-Gave-Emil with the sad effort.

[Fman99]

Sean Green has another encouraging inning. He thrives with the mop.

If we had ham, we could have ham and eggs... if we had eggs.

Side note: The only hitless Pirate regular today? Only the finest hitter in the National League, Frederico Lorca Sanchez.

I remember listening to Howard Cosell giving the out of town scoreboard. Whe he got to the Braves' game he said (a close paraphrase), "The Braves must have given up on winning this one. Ron Piche is in the game."

I get that same feeling when I see Sean Green coming in out of the bullpen.

Motion to refer to PNC Park as The Punk...

[G-Fafif]

Keith referred a moment ago to Carlos Beltran's happy area. Clearly, PNC Park (a.k.a. The Punk) is not the Mets'.
