The "captain's lunge" IS a fine piece of hitting, dinchaknow?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Frankie and Johnny were lovers.

[Willets Point]

Battle of the Rods.

[seawolf17]

You just want someone to crack an errant foul ball into Rudy's mug, don't you? That'd be classic.

And heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere comes Alex. Bring it.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Is striking out while a runner steals a base what some call a productive out.

Come on Frankie. Bear down and end this thing.

[Fman99]

It's down to Mama Cass vs. Frankie.

[metirish]

Squeaky bum time here folks

[seawolf17]

Green light.

edit: or not. 3-1.

[seawolf17]

Wait WHAT?

[metirish]

No , please tell me that did not happen.....

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, fuck's sake.

[Willets Point]

Not good.

Not good at all.

I was all excited about how pissed A-Rod looked when he popped up.

Then I was gravely disappointed.

Grr.

[metirish]

One fucking hand Louie...

[Fman99]

I cannot believe that really happened.

[seawolf17]

Okay, two things there.

First.

TWO HANDS, LUIS! TWO FUCKING HANDS!

And second...

Why are you banging Alex Rodriguez on the helmet, Yankees? He did shit in that at-bat. Shit. Fuckin' hell, Mets.

Exactly what I came here to say.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Well, that just sucked.

[metirish]

Can't happen.......I'm going to fucking bed....

[bmfc1]

Keep walking Luis. You're fired.

One of the worst losses in Mets history. I don't think I'm overstating that.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm sick to my stomach over this.

[Frayed Knot]

Not sure what's worse, dropping it, or then throwing absent-mindedly to 2nd?

[soupcan]

I fucking hate this this team.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

David Wright cracks a mega-clutch double off the 'Greatest Closer Ever' and he is sitting in the losing clubhouse.

Alex Rodriguez gets beat like a bitch and pops up, and he gets a hero's welcome.

Fuck it all.

[Willets Point]

Gotta give some share of the blame to K-Rod for walking the tying and winning run.

[metirish]

We had it....we had this fucking series , the kid goes tomorrow...whatever....Santana on Sunday....grab that ball and we are looking at two wins at least......

[MFS62]

Tar and feathering is too good for him.
Draw and quarter? How does that work again?

Later

No one is forcing you to be a Mets fan. Go watch some other team.

Which is why I didn't like putting the winning run on base.
I don't know if the idea was to pitch to Teixeira carefully all along and not care if he walked, or if they only came up with the semi-IW once it got to 3-0.
Either way, crazy shit like that - or even just a double in the gap - is the exact reason you don't do it.



oe: and if it's any consolation (and I know it's not) the Phils just lost in the 13th inning (that's 3 eXtra inning games in a row for them and 4 of their last 6) after tying it with one out in the 9th. They left the bases loaded.

[Fman99]

I wish I had Grimm's amazing detachment working for me right now, instead of this gut punch feeling I have in my stomach.

I switched to Vs. which is showing "Eight Men Out." At least those guys were trying to lose.

[metsmarathon]

i... don't think i enjoyed the outcome of this game.
