IGT: Braves @ Mets--08/18/09

[bmfc1]

METS:
Angel Pagan CF
Luis Castillo 2B
Gary Sheffield LF
Daniel Murphy 1B
Jeff Francoeur RF
Fernando Tatis 3B
Omir Santos C
Anderson Hernandez SS
Oliver Perez LHP (2-3, 5.97)

Anderson Hernandez: your starting SS for the rest of the season. And his backup is Wilson Valdez. Holy crap.

It's Lowe v. Ollie, otherwise known as "Omar's choice."

Pedro is starting on Sunday. Standing O?

Ryan Church wasn't happy w/Jerry's comments about him but will "take the high road."

O. Infante, 2B
M. Prado, 1B
C. Jones, 3B
B. McCann, C
Y. Escobar, SS
G. Anderson, LF
M. Diaz, RF
R. Church, CF
D. Lowe, P

[Frayed Knot]

McLouth on the DL as of yesterday - hence Church in CF.

[bmfc1]

Good gosh almighty, how Oliver Perez stinks. Stinks to the highest level of stinking. And the Mets have to pay him through 2011. How I look forward to Omar's firing.

[nymr83]

]It's Lowe v. Ollie, otherwise known as "Omar's choice."

Looks like a wrong choice so far.

[Frayed Knot]

I still don't want Lowe

[Guest Kong76]

Not a big fan of (not so) clever sourness.

Or is that sour cleverness?

[Frayed Knot]

2nd base ump is missing a good game.
OK, it's a sucky game but he's still missing it.

[ashie62]

Yikes..I can't believe that losing Anderson Hernandez would be another death blow

[metsmarathon]

i'm starting to think that citifield was built atop an old indian burial ground...

[ashie62]

="Nymr83"] ]It's Lowe v. Ollie, otherwise known as "Omar's choice." Looks like a wrong choice so far.

Would not have made any difference either way

[ashie62]

In 44 years of watching the Mets, pound for pound, this is the worst team in Mets history bar none

[dgwphotography]

uh - 1992, anyone?

[ashie62]

Can Matz get injured doing this interview?

[metirish]

Matz looks like he's 12......jeez

A home run would have topped our record for most runs in an inning against the Yokels. bmfc1 Aug 18 2009 06:46 PM Bravo! Let's see if Ollie can hold the lead. metirish Aug 18 2009 06:47 PM ="John Cougar Lunchbucket"]How about that inning? Most unexpected and damn it was fun...... Nymr83 Aug 18 2009 06:58 PM see what happens when i turn it off? i'm watching "operation repo" where they just repossesed a car from a bunch of guys running around in the woods playing dungeons and dragons with costumes! LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 18 2009 06:59 PM Nice job settling-- or, rather, of not completely and immediately imploding-- by Ollie. themetfairy Aug 18 2009 07:02 PM Gary was right to be worrying about the weather. It's pouring here in Central NJ. PiggiesTomatoes Aug 18 2009 07:03 PM Fell asleep in the middle of the third. Did I miss anything? Just when you want to stick a fork in these fuckers, they put together an inning like that. A fucking mazing. Oh, yeah. Trade Murphy! ;-) Kong76 Aug 18 2009 07:11 PM I never thought of this before. Bases loaded, a pop up to a vet player at third and infield fly rule is called and he catches it. Batter is automatically out, of course. Has anyone ever seen someone let it drop, fake boot it, or something else to see if he could get some young player off base enough to get another out or get some of the guys on base running or thinking about running out of not knowing the rules to heart? metsguyinmichigan Aug 18 2009 07:22 PM Hang on, guys!!!!! Frayed Knot Aug 18 2009 07:23 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 18 2009 07:44 PM I did it in a softball game (and, yes, it worked). I've seen IFR pops not caught in MLB (dropped or windblown) but I don't think ever intentionally and never saw a runner fooled by it. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 18 2009 07:30 PM Never seen it actually work, myself. Now, Elmer? That works fine. Kong76 Aug 18 2009 07:30 PM Frayed Knot, wily vet. Frayed Knot Aug 18 2009 07:35 PM That's using your head Jeff! PiggiesTomatoes Aug 18 2009 07:35 PM Francoeur takes one for the team. Thanks Frenchy! LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 18 2009 07:36 PM AN! LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 18 2009 07:37 PM DY! LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 18 2009 07:37 PM GREEN! Frayed Knot Aug 18 2009 07:38 PM ="Kong76":121v2d6d]Frayed Knot, wily vet.[/quote:121v2d6d] The other one we used to do was watch when a batter didn't run following a pop up with only runner on 1st. Then we'd intentionally let the ball drop and get the DP while the batter was walking back to the bench assuming he was going to be out on the catch. Man did that piss people off! They'd be so embarrassed they'd try to claim it was illegal but a smart ump wasn't buying it. Nymr83 Aug 18 2009 07:42 PM no the best is when someone doesnt run out a grounder because htey think they're out... then you ROLL the ball to 1st base for the force. Fman99 Aug 18 2009 07:43 PM Highly enjoyable ballgame tonight. This is why I keep tuning in, day after day. PiggiesTomatoes Aug 18 2009 07:50 PM Six quick outs, guys. No rain delay, please.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 18 2009 08:06 PM Now get inside, you beautiful, star-crossed bitches! G-Fafif Aug 18 2009 08:48 PM ="John Cougar Lunchbucket"]Sometimes I wanna get you down Sometimes I wanna get you Lowe Gwreck Aug 18 2009 09:25 PM Glad to see we finally gave Derek F. Lowe the pounding he so richly deserved. Best inning since the Floyd/Beltran grand slams in Chicago a few summers ago? Church didn't get much of a hand or anything, although that partly may have been due to Diaz having just hit a 3 run bomb.
