End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

[bmfc1]

Pat Misch is going tonight so he slots in perfectly if the Mets want him. There's an off day Monday so they don't need another SP until May 29.

Ken Rosenthal says that the Mets are shopping Castillo to make room for Murphy.

Very strange. That would leave them with Alex Cora and a very raw Daniel Murphy as their second basemen.

[Centerfield]

We can always move Hanley Ramirez there after we trade for him.

[nymr83]

it does seem strange, maybe the Mets are ready for Reese Havens?

[nymr83]

Francoeur just lost a flyball in the lights/sun and Rodriguez is on third with a "triple"

[Guest Kong76]

Cy Valdez with 6 Ks!

[nymr83]

Valdes gets out of it with a strikeout!

[nymr83]

another double for Davis!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

damn, ike hit that one hard.

[nymr83]

Davis now almost gets thrown out because he misjudged a single and headed back to 2nd base, but a bad throw lets him get in to 3rd... the bases are JUICED lets expand this lead to where even Perez couldn't choke it away!

[Frayed Knot]

Nice stick from Ike but he's having a funky trip around the bases this inning -- stayed while he should have gone on two different balls to the OF but is still alive despite advancing only one base.

[Frayed Knot]

Riggleman double-switching in the 5th inning?!?

[nymr83]

Francoeur drives in two, lets keep it going!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ike is running the bases like Ralph Kramden on roller skates.

Annnnnnnnnd....Tyler Walker gets Frenched.

[nymr83]

Mr. Happy Bunt isn't making Valdes advance the runners here? its one of the few situations where I wouldn't be pissed off by it

edit- nevermind, Valdes bunts
reaches on error by pitcher

[nymr83]

Zimmerman trips on a pop-up and its a single for reyes!!!

sac fly for Cora

8-1 good guys

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Even Cora gets in on it with a sac fly. 8-1 Metsies.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

PILING ON IS THE BE-HEST!

[Gwreck]

Nice outing by Valdes, going farther in relief than some of our starters do.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Home-run hitting catcher dot-com! (dot-com, dot-com)

Big Rod really stroked a hard one there.

[Gwreck]

KABOOM!

[Guest Kong76]

Valdez exit to yays from us. Nice job!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Bravo, Raul Valdes. When the Mets win the World Series we'll all look back at how you saved the bullpen the night before your guys swept the first Yankee series.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Cuban soft-tossing, bacon-saving lefties are totally the new Japanese soft-tossing, bacon-saving lefties.

[nymr83]

Acosta walking the first guy he faces will drive you nuts, its a 9 run lead, let them hit it on a 3 ball count!

[nymr83]

a two-run single, but they tag out Rodriguez stuck between 2nd & 3rd... i'll take the out.

[nymr83]

another walk by Acosta,PULL HIM

[Guest Kong76]

lard ass 43, lard ass 43, hut, hut hut

[nymr83]

Mets trying to CHOOOOOKE this lead away
