IGT, Opening Day, 4/5/2010

[metirish]

Jacobs is the first Met K of the season. Raise your hand if you're surprised.[/quote:3huvzlqr]

Put it down to nerves , cleanup hitter in the big city.....

[nymr83]

If I didn't pick Jacobs, it was only because I doubted he'd start opening day and get the chance to strikeout first.
Matthews Jr, rally killer!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Now we just need 1556 more innings exactly like that one.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Like that start.

It seems like Johnson's throwing nothing but fastballs the first time through the lineup. If you were HoJo right now, wouldn't you tell Frenchy, Barajas and Johan, "Outside fastball first pitch; swing away hard?"

[Guest Edgy DC]

How about Jerry? Huge chance to bunt Luis Castillo there and di'nt.

It's his first game Edgy , give him a chance. I'm sure he won't pas it up again.

[Fman99]

Six up, six down.

Stayed home today, watching the game on the big arsed TV. Kids napping. All is well.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Brought hot dogs and corn puffs from home. Spill some beer on my carpet, and it's like a ballgame in my office!

[nymr83]

good defensive stop by Cora there, diving to his right for a hard hit grounder

[Fman99]

Cora with the nice glove work, takes a hit away from Cody Ross.

If that ends up saving a perfect game for Santana, can we all stop hating Cora for a day or two?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Oops, too late.

Resume hating.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If Gameday isn't a dirty, stinking faithless liar, Gaby Sanchez earned that single, it seems.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

This is the first I've heard of the bridge being named for William Shea. I like it.

Yep, it looks great.

Johan works around the single, middle 3rd.

[nymr83]

Castillo steals second base!

[nymr83]

Wright goes from an 0-2 count to ball 4. stay patient boys!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wright walks. Now we need Jacobs to do that one thing he can do.

Strike Out?

[Benjamin Grimm]

As long as he doesn't GIDP, we'll have Bay up with a runner in scoring position.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That beard is unacceptable!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright walks. Now we need Jacobs to do that one thing he can do.[/quote:ld97fi9b]

Strike Out?[/quote:ld97fi9b]

Seemed like a hittable pitch for him, also.

Strike Out?[/quote:3gh9ax78]

Don't be that guy.

[nymr83]

Bay follows Jacobs with a whiff to end the threat, fuck.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Was a really nasty slider from Johnson that retired Bay.

[Chad ochoseis]

I'm just watching this on Gameday, but it looked like Johnson was trying not to give Bay anything remotely hittable.

[nymr83]

a long AB there leads to a walk and 2 men on, uggla coming up

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ramirez singles, steals second, then Cantu walks.

Uggla up with one out and runners on first and second.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That was pretty testicular of Johnson to throw the curve there to Bay.

Thirty-three pitch inning, giving us a chance to get into the pen early.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That might have been scary if I was watching on TV; Uggla hits one deep enough to advance both runners. But there are two out now.
