IGT, @ Reds, 5/3/10

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We don't believe in comebacks?
We don't believe in Santana?
We don't believe that this team is any damn good after all?



It's one game. There's another one tomorrow. And the Phillies still represent a town full of mouthbreathing, murderous neanderthals, whose native cuisine is fucking beef hash. Congratulations on winning the weekend, Non-Fucking-World-Champions. Now let's fuck up Ohio. Give me the damn ball.

Being a half game out of first on the third of May without Carlos Beltran is more than anyone expected when this season started. And tomorrow (today, really) we get Ike Davis back in the lineup, whom the Mets apparently can't win without.

Thank God for the not-taking-Monday off game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yup. I need a palate cleanser and a half.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

We're going to beat the snot out of the Reds tonight.

I'm thinking Maine complete game shutout.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

On Xbox, maybe. Ollie is going tonight.

[ashie62]

The Reds suck ass. So does the state of Ohio for that matter.

Good point. Saw someone say Maine and didn't even think about it.

So complete game 12K win for Perez tonight then.

Ha, I'll have what he's having.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm a bit loath to steal KTE thunder, but here's a little background on tonight's Commie hurler:

Pinko Mike Leake made six AFL starts, but otherwise, he's done no minor-league labor at all. High-80s/low-90s fastball with natural cut/movement, decent slider, solid change, with good control/command. After two Sunday-in-the-park starts-- plenty of pleasant walking-- he's settled down to beat the Doyers and Astros with just 16 baserunners allowed in 14 innings.

Most importantly, he's new to us... so think optimistically, and hope that the three total Met hits tonight all leave the park.

METS:
Pagan-CF
Castillo-2B
Reyes-SS
Bay-LF
Wright-3B
Davis-1B
Francoeur-RF

No Jay Bruce tonight

[Guest Edgy DC]

Who's Heisey?

I can't say I even know Leake.

I don't K my E.

[ashie62]

No Jay Bruce for the commies

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I can't say I even know Leake.

Coming soon

[soupcan]

That's what she said.

[Guest themetfairy]

It's 1-1 in the top of the second. Ollie gave up a home run, and Frenchy just knocked in Ike (who reached on an error).

This IGT suxx so far....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two outs and a runner in scoring position? Walk the catcher and go after the pitcher. That always works.

[Theoldmole]

Good Ollie in the 2nd.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crappy turnout at Riverfront II.

The Reds announcer, while trying to exonerate Reyes' name, is incorrectly reporting that Reyes was investigated during the offseason by the FBI.

[Guest Kong76]

Those chili cheese dogs in Cinci look worth the trip!

They're good. Cinci chili is a bit sweeter than what we have out here, and it's very tasty.

[Guest themetfairy]

Crap - Reyes should have had that ball.

2-1 Reds

[Guest themetfairy]

Ollie strikes out Rolen to end the inning and limit the damage.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Big SB for Castillo there. We could really use the old JoseJose right now.

Thank you.

[Guest themetfairy]

Jose makes up for the glovework by knocking in the tying run.
