IGT--Yankees @ Mets, 06/27/09

[bmfc1]

METS:
Alex Cora SS
Argenis Reyes 2B
David Wright 3B
Ryan Church RF
Gary Sheffield LF
Daniel Murphy 1B
Jeremy Reed CF
Brian Schneider C
Tim Redding RHP (1-2, 6.08)

[Frayed Knot]

I thought Reyes might start instead of Cora since he hasn't had a day off since his return. Maybe tomorrow.

Other than that the lineup is as expected against the RHP.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

This raspy a-hole. On the pre-game. Is making. My head hurt.

(Is this Chris Carton?)

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The Cap'n and the Caveman out with the flu after sharing a sippy cup, or something. Jorge the chinless is back, however. Here's the rogues gallery:

B Gardner CF
N Swisher RF
M Teixeira 1B
A Rodriguez 3B
R Cano 2B
J Posada C
M Cabrera LF
R Pena SS
A Burnett P

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Redding nibbling, walks Swisher and Teixiera after getting Gardner to pop up, and Rodriguez has a chance to get a hit that actually matters.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I don't like not liking Mets, but watching Tim Redding pitch probably causes me more discomfort than any visual experience. The nibbling. The niiiibbling.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Rodriguez does what he does best, fly out in a big situation. Robby Cano (and Tyler, too) up with two down, 1st & 3rd.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Schneider's glove is bouncing around like he's indicating sing-a-long lyrics.

Redding's command is crap to start this inning... a few more like this, and it'll be all over, very quickly.

[nymr83]

Cano is saved by a yankee fan in the front row ona foul ball, but then strikes out anyway.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

A textbook mook Yankee fan knocks away a pop-up from Wright, but Redding is way more man than Cano and blows a fastball past him to end the inning scoreless.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I like to fancy myself an easy-going and reasonable person, but would somebody kick that motherfucking douche-faced mongoloid mook of a Yankee fan's ass until he's shitting out of his own mouth.

Or, you know, just eject him from the premises.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I defer to OO in his description of the mookness of the mook in question.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I say any time you can get the worst-hitting member of your team some extra at-bats by hitting him 2-hole, you've got to make that call.

Jerry rationalizes this by assuming that if Cora ever gets on base again Reyes can move him over with a bunt, whether the situation calls for it or not.

Didn't he look like a total tool. Where I live is full of them.

Also, there'd be beard-rubbing, and probably a hearty laugh, and something vague like "I think he can get some good at-bats in there, maybe get going a little."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

As long as it isn't game-impacting, I hope Burnett gets on at some point tonight; he seems like the kind of guy who would pull a Wang on the basepaths.

As opposed to David Cone, who did it in the bullpen.

MOM ALWAYS LIKED YOU BEST!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Teixeiria makes a really annoying face when he bats. Yes, I know I've reduced myself to the simple judgment of "I don't like his face." No, I don't even care.

[Zvon]

Swishybomb gives the Skanks a 1-0 lead.

Burnett's wearing my old bicycle chain around his neck.
Wassupwidat?

If that's addressed to me, I bugged Comcast til they gave me back WPIX.
Next assignment, AMC.

Lotsa Skankee fans there. Esp in the pricey seats.
(which are the only seats I'm seein alot of on TV)

[Zvon]

We need a big game from Church and Sheff and so far both look like shit at the plate.
For that matter so does everyone else in the lineup tonight.
Its early yet....

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Murf gets on here and comes around to score. Just wait.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Bah. Melk this.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hat off to Cabrera on that one.

(I'm guessing Muff doesn't feel the same.)

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

PREDICTION (guaranteed right or your money back): Schneider will hit at least one ball very, very hard off Burnett tonight.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Melky is terrorizing poor Muff tonight.

[bmfc1]

Would Cabrera be in LF if Damon wasn't sick?
