IGT Sunday May 2 Mets/Phils

[Guest Kong76]

I wonder what the record is for runs scored with two outs
and/or how many batters get up with two outs is.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

This strand-rate is correcting a bit hard, isn't it?

[Piggiestomatoes]

What are the odds of a 1-2-3 top of the 5th?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Who you blame (besides Santana)?

__ Rod Barajas, for making a stupid play and turning the mojo around.

__ Fernando Tatis, for being in the lineup and making it seem like 2009.

__ Jerry, for having so much faith in Johan that he left the guy hanging by himself.

__ Warthan, for having so much faith in Johan that he left the guy hanging by himself.

__ Kevin Deutch, for presenting before God and all people an image of the Metfan unworthy of any joy?

I hate when we play "catch-up ball" by jumping at the first pitch.

New York Auto Giant Dot Com!
Coming back from the BE-HEST!

6 pitch 1-2-3 inning for the 47 year-old marvel! Seems like 2009 all over again.

How about what Joe and Orel are talking about.....Santana not using a curve against the lefties is killing him.......my question is


why doesn't he use a curve ball more anyway..(Joe wondered the same thing)

[Frayed Knot]

I think we should just ban 4th innings.
They've been our undoing this weekend.

I think seeing Moyer get to first and way things have
gone I will respect my intention of giving myself a ten
o'clock curfew and bid you all a let's go mets.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I blame the black jerseys. Good things don't happen in the black jerseys.

Friday night was a blackout night.

This stings a bit, yes. But Johan's been thwomped twice in five starts, and tiptoed around a LOT of runners in two others of those starts. I really don't want to think about why-- that's whence my real agita comes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's a fair point.

That sound you're hearing is the Jerry Watch re-assembling.

[Frayed Knot]

ESPN used to only do that annoying crawl thing at the top and bottom of the hour - for maybe 7 or 8 minutes total - while saving the constant crawl for whatever lesser event they were showing on ESPN2 and the addicted gamblers who watch such stuff.
Now they've either decided that everyone is an addicted gambler or that we've all got such short attention spans that a baseball game can't hold our interest unless we're simultaneously reading about who won the golf match on the Japanese tour or what Brett Favre had for breakfast because it's full-time on the main channel now.

Wearing them twice in three days is temping fate.

Rod bangs pole.[/quote:2vp8fsqp]

You've been hanging with Fman. [/quote:2vp8fsqp]

Nah, I would have gone with "Rod goes deep."

[Ceetar]

Can I just blame everyone? sickening.

I've been saying all along that Warthen always seems to go out a batter too late. (in this case, not at all)

Santana sucked, but why? The warning sign to me was walking Castro. Make all the "pitching around" comments you will, but that's not really Santana's style, walking the 8th guy to get to the pitcher (and he's been bad against pitchers in general). Would Warthen coming out, talking to Santana, calming in down (telling him to trust Barajas' calls?), focusing on exactly what to throw at Moyer, gotten him out of the inning?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just taking a few steps toward coming back would mean a lot to me.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, 4-6-3.

Let's load 'em up.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nothing. They're staggering on their feet. Howie is comparing them to George Foreman after Ali came off the ropes to counterpunch him senseless.

Or, you know, roll over. Whatever works for you.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hey, Santana!

BBBBBoooOOOOOOOooOoOOOoOoOOoOoooOOooOOOooooO!

[batmagadanleadoff]

This might be the quickest 16-run game that I can remember.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, a walk. First baserunner since THE INNING.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nothing. They're staggering on their feet. Howie is comparing them to George Foreman after Ali came off the ropes to counterpunch him senseless.[/quote:oxiedukh]

Hey, Foreman came back-- it only took two years.

[Guest Edgy DC]

"Hi, I'm Mike Rohan. I've been going around to give really stupid women a Ford Explorer for week. You can thank me later."

"Oh, my GAWD!"

"I like the ROOF!"

I thought it was more like 15 years.

[batmagadanleadoff]

The Phillies haven't scored since THE INNING, either.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The substitutes are probably both solid moves.[/quote:1g0az1vp]
Or not.
