IGT - 8/4/09, Mets vs. Devil Birds

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Jayzus. Castillo hurts his leg walking down the dugout steps. What next, the thermostat in the clubhouse whirlpool goes haywire and Wright gets boiled alive?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I didn't have a feeling that would happen.

[Valadius]

I think we need a non-denominational exorcism performed on the Mets' medical staff.

[Fman99]

="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr"]Caution: Do Not Take w/Alcohol: Pagan, cf Castillo, 2b Wright, 3b Sheffield, lf Murphy, 1b Francoeur, rf Cora, ss Santos, c Santana, lhp Also, because I know you were wondering... Nelson Figueroa is available in relief.

I am going to respectfully decline to follow your orders, Dr. LWFS.

[Guest Kong76]

I've said this before, I'm sure ... but why when players are hurt in any sport
do they let them hobble around with assistance when maybe putting them on
a chair or stretcher might help by not further aggravating whatever is wrong?

[Fman99]

Poo Holes crushes another one.

Rooting interest aside. You have to admire when the ball lands in the apple. It's like that game you play at the Boardwalk where you roll the ball up the ramp.

NICE KICK SAVE !

[Guest Kong76]

Kick save and a beaut!

[Fman99]

Skee-ball. Couldn't think of it for a second there.

[metirish]

Sprained left ankle for Luis

[Fman99]

Sprained left ankle for Castillo, sayeth Cohen.

[Valadius]

Sprained ankle is nothing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Win it for Luis.

And, just to be dicky, how about stealing the save situation away from Rodriguez as well?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

They show a sponsored replay of the Santana kick-save play, and the area of the screen where the kicking takes place is, of course, obscured by the advertising banner. Bah. Just for that I'm not buying a new Mercedes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Lack of activity seems to make Rodriguez even funkier than usual.

[Guest Kong76]

LET'S

(got quiet here)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

WHIFF

[Guest Kong76]

K76: LET'S

NOT GIVE UP BACK TO BACK DOUBLES!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

(sorry, Kase)

GO

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fuck it.

LETS =orange]GO, METS!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

FU Frankie

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Haha, man, this baseball team isn't very good.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Moral defeat!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This team sucks, man. I take whole year off!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gotta pick it up.

[metirish]

I knew when Gary mentioned that Santana with a win would become the NL's first 13 game winner , I knew things were going to go haywire.

[Fman99]

Frankie is all over the place here. Rusty.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Johan deserved better than to have Frankie do this. C'mon guys, we need a walk-off.

On the bright side, we're staying in Stony Brook, and it was great to walk into a sporting goods store and actually see Mets stuff!!

And Alex Cora is due for one.

[Guest Kong76]

A game like this would kill me if I was there. It's killing me here.

[Valadius]

I really fucking hate these birds.
