IGT 9/26/09: NYM-FLA in wake of USF 17 FSU 7

[G-Fafif]

Biggest sports day the state of Florida has ever known. First, your University of South Florida Bulls stampede on up to Tallahassee and upset the No. 18 Florida State Seminoles 17-7 in their first meeting ever. Then Jerry Manuel makes out this lineup card at Your Name Here Stadium in Miami Gardens:

Pagan LF
Castillo 2B
Wright 3B
Beltran CF
Francoeur RF
Tatis 1B
Santos C
Hernandez SS
Maine P

Much like victorious QB B.J. Baker was last year, Nick Evans is redshirted for this season. As long as we can get another look at Tatis.

Let's Go Mets! Let's Go Bulls!

Maine is looking "perturbed" on the mound, according to Gary, Keith and Ron, who go on to opine that it looks like he has flu-like symptoms.

In the bottom of the second Maine loaded the bases, Castillo bobbled a possible double play ball and there was a wild pitch/passed ball. 2-0 Fish after two.

[Guest themetfairy]

Gary, Keith and Ron are complaining of being crowded in their tiny booth, and are envious of all of the space that Howie has in the radio booth. Howie is shrugging at the camera confusedly, wondering why he's on camera.

As silly as all of this is, it's still more entertaining than the game....

Tatis is actually just on the good side of type B status. I say play him every day.

(PS Schneider is as well, and if THAT doesn't tell you the system needs to be reworked...)

[Guest themetfairy]

Speaking of Tatis, his 2-run homer tied the game.

[Guest themetfairy]

Maine just hit Cody Ross in the wrist, and Ross is out of the game.

[Guest themetfairy]

Wright's RBI double drives in Pagan and gives the Mets a 3-2 lead in the 5th.

I think that was one of the worst things we've seen this season. Bad baserunning by two runners at the exact same time. I can't believe it.

[Guest themetfairy]

Ridiculous.

Wright, whom I do love, didn't hustle. Francouer was out at 2nd before Wright crossed the plate, so his run didn't count. Damn!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Revolting!

I think I've seen that happen before, but I can't remember when. It's been a loooong time.

[bmfc1]

I know that fantasy is verboten here, but tough: I'm fighting for 1st, I have Wright and Francouer, and that cost me a run and an RBI.

[Guest themetfairy]

And we're tied once again....

[Guest themetfairy]

Make that 4-3 Fish....

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Serves you right. Going for 1st place with these bums.

[Guest themetfairy]

Oh Fuckshit!

Maybin, who came into the game to replace Cody Ross, just homered to give the Fish a 7-3 lead....

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's see how far up our asses they will shove that error.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Fredi Gonzalez, for going to the bullpen here, and playing for the save rather than the win, I declare that I will never hire you to manage my team.

Hah!

[Guest themetfairy]

And it's over.

[Guest Edgy DC]

But Wright and Beltran outdo him by refusing to take a strike with the tying run behind them in the ninth.

It's madness. But it's not "House of Fun" Madness.

[Frayed Knot]

Francouer was out at 2nd before Wright crossed the plate, so his run didn't count.
