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

[Fman99]

Jerry, what's your book say now? That you should've left Stokes in.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Let's turn two, for the love of God.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Horrible. They're pissing this game away.

Will Clark and Cesar Cedeno, too.

Crowd warmth does help balls carry, though. It's a fact!

[Fman99]

Big K there. Now Green in to get the last out, supposebly.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Extra innings, and tomorrow's game is at noon.

[Fman99]

Did that just happen.

[metirish]

Oh my ....what next?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is Williesesque. Muck the Fets.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say we should keep Sean Green out of bases-loaded-type situations.

[Frayed Knot]

If that pitch was only 3-1/2 feet over it would have missed him and maybe even been over the plate.

[Guest Kong76]

"There are no words."

[metirish]

Well ain't that grand?

[Frayed Knot]

Good night

I can think of a few.

[Guest Kong76]

Pujols provides words.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That was the most predictable thing I've ever seen.

Well, see you in April.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Good night, everybody!

[Methead]

*sigh*

[Piggiestomatoes]

Fernando Vina, too.

Away on vacation and following the last couple of innings on Gamecast through a bad Internet connection. WTF is it with this team???

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Plegh. Well, they'll be due for a win when I see them tomorrow? That's all I got.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm putting it on Jerry. This mix'n'match bullpen shit is just too much to watch.

[Frayed Knot]

Think about the things that conspired to add up to this clusterfuck.

- Pagan misreading Wright's single in the 1st and failing to score
- 2 caught stealings
- Sheffield's 2 GiDPs
- Berroa's error
- Cora's error (even though it wasn't scored that way)
- Jerry's pitch switching after 1-pitch/1-out
- Frankie's worst outing of the year
- Feliciano 4-pitch walking someone
- Castillo falling down the steps
- Green's HBP on the first pitch

Yeah don't discount the fact that Jerry only pulled each pitcher in the 10th AFTER they recorded an out.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Second Edition with a foreward by Jerry Manuel.

[Valadius]

Again, that team is fucking evil and I hate them.

And the thing that shocked me was LaRussa NOT going to the lefty when Muffy was up in a game-winning situation.
That would have been understandable and, with LaRussa, I would have thought automatic.
Instead, Tony opts not to and gets away with it while Jerry tries to out-LaRussa LaRussa and gets burned by it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'd like to note here that Jeff Francoeur has seen a total of 24 pitches in his last 13 plate appearances (spanning three games).

I'm thinking that claims that he's turned a corner may have been a bit pre-matoor.

Add up a bunch of shit, it generally adds up to a pile of ....

[Fman99]

SNY postgame immediately hones in on the bullpen moves in the top of the 10th.

And rightfully so.
