IGT 6/1/10 Mets vs. Padres -- It can't get worse edition

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

OK, maybe NOW we need some Michigan mojo.

After that 18-run disaster on Monday, we wonder if things are going to get better.

We, in Michigan, are used to asking this question.

We have:



The worst football team ever.



The nation's worst unemployment rate.



The city with the worst mayor/inmate.



This talentless goofball running around reminding people where he is from.

But still, we hold our heads high. Because as bad as it is, we know things will be better.

And tonight, the Mets have Mike Pelfrey on the hill, and he is NOT going to give up a grand slam or walk in two runs.

So, with the spirit of the adopted state of Michigan, we boldly say

LET'S GO METS!

And please buy a nice American car.



And, because Zvon asked, here's my cool cake! And it was as sweet as the game that Pelf is going to drop on the hapless Pads tonight!

It's a new month. Let the Mets make it a June to remember.

Looks like an awful lot of fondant on that number. T'was good, though?

Thanks for the optimism, DM.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

It was! I was really reluctant to cut it, because it looked so good. But it tasted great, too.

Is Michigan still in a depression? Just kidding

This talentless goofball running around reminding people where he is from.

[Fman99]

Ugh, I hate West coast games. Just fucking start, I'm already tired.

THAT'S THE OPTIMUM TRIPLE PLAY! THAT'S MY BOY!

[ashie62]

Man, Castillo looks lame.

[ashie62]

Ike juices the bags...Wright up

[ashie62]

Wright bags 1 and Bay thrown out at home

[Fman99]

If Castillo was a horse he'd be sent off to the glue factory.

[Fman99]

I like Pagan/Barajas/Frenchy at the ass end of the lineup, got some pop there.

[Fman99]

THAT'S MY BOY!! THAT'S MY BOY!!

Fuck you, Optimum.

[Fman99]

So that's two outs on the bases, out of the first five. Fuck.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Still looks like a mismatch for the good guys.

[Guest themetfairy]

A 5-pitch bottom of the third for Pelfrey, including a strikeout. That's efficient!

[Guest Edgy DC]

We vie to win the basestealing championship.

[Frayed Knot]

3rd baserunner erased tonight.
We're doing this LeBlanc guy some big favors.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Can we just post to get Kid Rock off the current page of the thread?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pelf with a pickoff of his own. Very nice.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Suddenly, baserunning outs as far as the eye can see.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

David sez: Kablammo

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Power and speed, David Wright.

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Frayed Knot]

Were those all first-pitch hits for Wright tonight?
I know at least two of them were, plus at least one of his last night.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Howie and Wayne, shut up about Ollie.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

First game I've listened to down here on a Mets radio feed this season. Been kind of a painful broadcast, between that and the Brad Garrett commericals.

Pads get one across. Let's hope the Mets can get some cushion for Pelf!
