IGT--Yankees @ Mets, 06/28/09

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I hate Jerry Manuel's love of the sac bunt. It's almost like WWSB never actually left the Mets. Let them swing the damn bats. This team does not hit well enough to be voluntarily surrendering outs.

Oh the soft rain has commenced. All hail the Craptain.

Just think, if Murphy had taken the free out offered by the Yankees in the first inning, then the good guys might be winning this one.

NICE glovework by Castillo on the hot smash.

Wright and Sheff due up. Someone, please, for the love of God, do something.

[nymr83]

Castillo's got that shit taken care of. can we stop walking people? i feel like oliver perez is on the mound.

lets get 2 here!

[Elster88]

Castillo really does have a sick glove out there. He just snagged another hard grounder to end the inning.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well, now is the time.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hard to imagine where we'd be without Castillo tonight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nicely done, Luis.

The walking is still vexing. I'm terribly vexed.

[Frayed Knot]

I hate bitching about umps, but can we get a fucking close call to go our way before the weekend's out? Like maybe one just so I can see what it feels like.
ARod saw 8 pitches - at least 6 of which were strikes and he still walked.

[Fman99]

Holy hell. ESPN finds a way to replay the Castillo gaffe AGAIN in their "best of Interleague 2009" SportsCenter tease.

Jeez, just die ESPN.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Steal?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Wright on. Good.

Now who's bunting?

[nymr83]

Wright gets a 4 pitch walk.

I wouldnt send him with Sheff up there, but if Sheff gets out i'd have him running.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sheff'll bunt here, just watch. It's Jerryball!

[Fman99]

Leadoff walk for Mr. Wright thanks to Brian "Next in Line" Bruney (see last night's IGT for an explanation of that nickname).

[nymr83]

Jeter with a 1-handed catch. note how there is no criticism when he does it.

[nymr83]

send Wright now before Mr. DP ends the inning

[nymr83]

nevermind the SB, its ball 4. DO SOMETHINGGGGGG

[Fman99]

Tatis with the BB and now it's on. Mo "Electric Pool" Rivera warming up in the pen, Fartinez up in a big spot.

[Elster88]

Martinez is not a real Met unless he gets a hit here.

[Fman99]

Wow, am I the only one who KNEW that they'd get him to chase some high shitty pitch?

[bmfc1]

OHMIGOD! HE'S HORRIBLE, and yes, he's 20.

[nymr83]

Martinez looks stupid again. send him down. its not that he sucks, but he's 20 years old and just not ready offensively

[Fman99]

Here comes Mo.

[Elster88]

Jon Miller has every inning of Rivera's career memorized.

[bmfc1]

I loved it when Jeter walked and Miller said that Jeter "coaxed' the walk, like he talked the ball into being out of the strike zone.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm trying to visualize success.

I keep seeing Omir flailing at a bounced cutter 6 inches off the plate.

[metirish]

STFU about fucking Rivera.....

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's beat the Fruitbat
