Sheff gets no love or at-bats. I guess we don't need a power hitter out there.

[sigh]

[Valadius]

Again? We're facing the fucking snakes again?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention: the guy they called up to take Upton's slot-- Trent Oeltjen-- is a dirty, thieving Aussie.

[Valadius]

All I know is, Spider-Man is from Queens.

Fucking pitcher driving in 2 runs.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 10 2009 08:13 PM

Freaking pitchers hitting two-run doubles. Horrible.

Valadius Aug 10 2009 08:14 PM

Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:15 PM

Holy fucking hell. A two run double to the pitcher. Pagan diving for a ball he couldn't catch, again, to let a second run score that would not have had he pulled up. And so it continues. Maybe Pelf can get Yahoo Serious to pop up.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 08:15 PM

A) All else being equal, intentional walks suck as a strategic move. Angel Pagan is NOT a great defensive outfielder. Worse, he seems to think he is.

Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:17 PM

At this point I'd rather watch a spinoff of the NY NY Sports Sports guys.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 08:35 PM Castillo's gimping again. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 08:39 PM It's like every single mistake of any kind this year has led directly to runs.

I think walking AndyHandy is worse than walking the pitcher. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 09:01 PM Arizona's running the bases well. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 09:01 PM Now that was Tatis not hustling. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 09:02 PM Oh good, there's another mistake which will come back to bite us.

Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 09:10 PM So let's review: - not getting the ball in allows the runner to get to 2nd - if that doesn't happen then there's no need for the IW a batter later - also the subsequent FO to CF doesn't result in a tag to 3rd - and finally, when one more out would allow us to escape unscathed, Pelfrey serves up a 2-out RBI single because there's some kind of fucking law that prevents him from getting an out there. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 09:11 PM As soon as he's in the stretch, he's like a fidgety middle-schooler on a date, trying his first yawn-and-stretch.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 09:58 PM Nice of Elmer "Hanging Slider" Dessens and Anderson "Badly Timed Jump" Hernandez to each do their best to give Rusty Ryal a hit in his first big-league turn at bat.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 10:14 PM All this lousy play, then they go and tease us with a tiny rally that ends when Castillo of all people whiffs.
