Cranberry Strawberry Let's Go Jerry! IGT 5/22/10-MFY's@NYM

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sucks to switch out Pagan on this exchange.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Well, Nieve looked good for one batter and pitches. That's encouraging.

Come on, you've got to be kidding me that you can't put away a rrokie with a couple of games under his belt after having him 0-2.

Nice double switch. Matthews hasn't hit crap all year and Pagan is playing well. Damn!

[Frayed Knot]

Wouldn't the better double-switch have been to bring Blanco into the game?[/quote:3q7cjnuv]

Doesn't his slot lead off?

[Piggiestomatoes]

Jeter's magic powers prevent the Mets from turning two.

[Frayed Knot]

That Jeter always comes through when you need him ... except for when he doesn't.

Jerry would tell you that you only would have your "emergency catcher" if Blanco gets hurt.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright owes me for that double-clutch.

(Oh, right, you made me a video. Never mind.)

That's my play.

[seawolf17]

Wright becoming my least favorite Met. Hope he wins me back.

In case you don't realize that this is a tense situation, Bill Webb shows you by bringing you pix of people looking tense.

He flew out to end the 7th.

[Piggiestomatoes]

One of those people was actually wearing a Matthews t-shirt.

From tomorrow's Washington Post (emphasis added):

The Nationals were forced to recover for a second time because of a puzzling defensive sequence from center fielder Nyjer Morgan, who also has been lacking at the plate. Morgan is batting .240 (6 for 25) over his last eight games, and he had been held out of the starting lineup twice in the past week. His miscue in the second game of this three-game interleague series simply amplified those recent struggles.

...

Morgan leaped near the wall but could not make the catch, the ball bouncing off his glove. Thinking the ball had gone out of the park for a home run, Morgan slammed his glove to the ground in disgust, not realizing the play was still live. That's when Willingham, who had been yelling to Morgan that the ball was on the ground, came to his aid and threw to the infield.

But by then it was too late. Scott already had scored, and Jones was in full sprint, crossing the plate without a play for an inside-the-park homer, the second allowed by the Nationals in four days. When Baltimore ended its half of the inning with a 4-2 advantage, Nationals fans booed loudly as Morgan ran off the field and into the dugout.

"My emotions got to me there because I knew I should have had the ball," Morgan said. "It's just one of those things where I let my emotions get to me out there, which I normally never do. It's just one of those plays where I thought the ball went over the fence."

Nice job Frankie. Not your fault that the Yanx specialize* in hitting balls to shitty to be turned into DPs






* (they do, I don't know how, but I swear they do).

She "feels Edgy." How does the Mrs. feel about that?

Stop this nonsense over double switches, all you need to know is that Jeter is the best player ever, if his team lose it won't be because of him.

[Zvon]

..more runs pleaaaase.

I told her not to talk about that shit on the radio.

My bad.
But with either slot unlikely to come up (as long as they retain the lead) holding on to your final catcher probably is the safer move.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

dumb

[bmfc1]

Oh Jose. WTF was that?

[Zvon]

Gah. Reyes...

Speaking of people needing an ass kicking...paging Mr. Reyes. Mr. Reyes.

I don't think I agree. I would keep the superior defender in the game (esp. with Blanco/Barajas essentially a wash defensively). Plus Matthews is, you know, a terrible hitter and all.

[Frayed Knot]

Meat of the lineup

[bmfc1]

I agree w/Gwreck. It's over-managing. With the lead, you should leave the superior defender in the game.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Of course, you can't pull Jose out now. You've already burned your emergency shortstop.

Oh, and SIT THE FUCK DOWN, Lieutenant.
