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

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice camerawork on the Sheff single. Hats off to ESPN.

[nymr83]

Wang is going to right himself tonight against these clowns. Tatis just went hacking at a 2-0 pitch and popped up to right

[bmfc1]

Why would Jerry replace Church w/Tatis rather than Reed? Tatis isn't hitting and he's a poor fielder, as shown by his fumbling the ball in the first. At least Reed can field.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Perhaps we can trade Livan to a contender.

I'll take it now.

Nice inning-ending catch by Fartinez.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Suck on that, Wang.

[nymr83]

Martinez just dove and took away what would have been a hit for Wang

He must not realize lefties are hitting .429 against Wang. These are not the things managers need to know.

Well yeah but I want Beltran back.

Gut?

More seriously, he was likely looking for any hint of power he could find.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Phillips and Morgan going on and on about the prowess of ARod, failing to mention that his entire career is now under the shadow of PED use.

[Elster88]

Miller getting hot and bothered describing ARod's workout routine. They failed to mention whether the HGH injection comes before or after the one hour swim.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

(high-five to Elster)

[nymr83]

I've muted Dumb & Dumber on ESPN, the radio is a few seconds ahead of them but thats fine, it means i can turn around and watch the tv if it sounds like an exciting play

[bmfc1]

That was a good inning: the Mets cleared the 6, 7, 8 and 9 spots.

[bmfc1]

"Robin Yant"???

[Guest themetfairy]

"A magnificent foul" by Nick Swisher.

Morgan makes my ears bleed.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Mets give the MFY's two extra outs in the first inning and Wang looks like Cy Fucking Young tonight!

Too many MFYLDB's at Citi this weekend.

Miller, Morgan and The Grudge are as bad as any local hacks announcing games anywhere.

Livan can't be shaken but where will the Metsies find runs tonight?

I hope that's not the reason since their slugging is about the same. Manuel doesn't seem to do much right sometimes. Maybe he's reading so I'll say this again: lefties are hitting .429 against Wang.

Patches on the backs of caps look stupid.

Just sayin'.

[nymr83]

on WFAN they just said that Perez had a good outing for Brooklyn tonight. i know its short-season A against guys who were drafted in the late rounds a couple of weeks ago but its SOMETHING, right?

just checked the brooklyn site, 5 innings, 6 ks, 1 walk, 2 hits, 0 runs. dont see a pitch count anywhere

Only Jeter with his limited range could make that look like a good play.

Agreed and I said so at the top of the thread, although I'm sure Jerry would argue that where their slugging percentages sit right now doesn't really describe the relative power of Tatis and Reed.

[Elster88]

I'm sure he would too. And he'd be wrong again.

Third Wangiewalk, and first leadoff hitter reaching. Let's see some non-doubleplay plays.

[Elster88]

Tatis made a solid effort at the DP, just didn't hit it hard enough.

[nymr83]

A Met-opponent misplayed a ball? wow
probably a double even if he plays it cleanly though

FERNANDO!!!!

(Damn high fence)

On edit, looks like fence height wasn't an issue.
