IGT 04/18 - Mets at Redbirds

[Theoldmole]

Cards the ones suffering from 20 inning whiplash?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

So far so good. 3-0 Good guys after 2.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Maine is at 73 pitches through 3 innings. He's going to need a quick 1-2-3 inning soon if he's going to go at least 6 innings. The pen could use some rest.

Let's get some more runs against Wainwright.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Maine is not inspiring confidence. But he's still got a shutout....

[Gwreck]

Same old Maine. 99 pitches in 4 innings. Seriously, John?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Maine has not been economical or efficient, but he has effectively kepth the Cardinals from scoring. Unfortunately, the Mets will be fortunate if he can get them through the fifth inning. Then it will be up to the freshly called up Stoner and the rest of the fatigued bullpen that deserves some rest.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Wright just got Beltraned.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Maine needs a breaking ball to get more swings and misses. Santana can get away with throwing mostly fastball and change ups, but even he has a slider he mixes in at times. John Maine can't be effective on a consistent basis with just the two pitches.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

If there was a drinking game for each time they either mentioned or showed video of the Beltran K, we'd be somewhat buzzed by now.

[smg58]

That's not the first time this year that I've seen Wright bail on a high curve that wound up breaking into the strike zone. Hojo needs to get on him for that.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Aw heck.

[bmfc1]

Is the Dillon Gee era approaching?

[Gwreck]

In addition to being a bad example and bad for your health, John, you look like a total tool with that jaw full of tobacco when trying to pitch. Spit it out and concentrate dammit.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

What a surprise. I had a sense of forboding doom. Maine had been dancing through the minefield all night. I just had a feeling that bomb was coming.

[nymr83]

Maine sucks. I just got out of my car at 3-0 and turned the TV on at 3-3, wtf??

[Piggiestomatoes]

This team is just difficult to watch. Coupled with having to listen to Dumb and Dumber (I'll give Orel a pass) and it's boardering on insufferable.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Jose's really getting some to some balls. Too bad he can't get the throws yet.

[Fman99]

400 foot fly for Poo holes, Stoner gets through the 6th. Let's Go Mets!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Take that, Albert! Tobi Freaking Stoner's not afraid of you!

[Frayed Knot]

Good thing they've kept Albert off the bases this series (1 hit ... so far) cuz that's the 5th time they've walked Ludwick in front of him in 3 games.
Talk about playing with fire.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

OK, hold on. I don't want to digress too much, but that Hampton Inn ad just freaked me out. You mean hotels DON'T wash the sheets between guests? All these years I assumed those were clean sheets and they were not?

I stay at the Hampton Inn when I travel for work. Free breakfasts and comfortable beds.

Having said that, I wouldn't want to be the next guy to use the towels that were in my room.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't like the direction this game is taking.

It's a long way down the Holliday Road.

[metirish]

WOW, Reyes looked like s tit in that AB

[Gwreck]

Yadier Molina actually steps out and kisses his necklace before every pitch. Seriously. I knew I hated the guy but wow.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sure he just gave up a double to the opposing pitcher but nice job Stoner.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

FUN FACT: Opposing pitchers have hit six XBH this road trip.

Jason Bay has hit none.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Some beer points for Stoner for sure!
