IGT 6/2/10 Mets vs. Padres, Johan runs with his new MI mojo

[Frayed Knot]

Extra inning games on the road are not Jerry's friend.

I'm so glad that Warthan went out to talk to Rodriguez after he struck out two batters in a row.[/quote:25hsihyd]
Yeah, I was wondering about that too. What was the point there? You're not going to discuss intentionally walking Eckstein with the big guy on deck, so just let the guy pitch. Confusing.

I wish Jason Bay was a big home-run-hitting guy instead of a singles hitter. I'd be anticipating something here.

[metirish]

As Ron remarked during the replay, that was a good throw by Bay, didn't try to do too much, how many times do we see the guy try and throw to the plate there?

[Centerfield]

This has the feel of a long night followed by a frustrating end.

Let's hope I'm wrong. I had that feeling in St. Louis too so who knows.

[seawolf17]

Hmm.

I wish Ike Davis was a big home-run-hitting guy instead of a singles hitter. I'd be anticipating something here.

[Zvon]

How can this kinda shit be not driving Johan crazy?
I'd be pissed.

Course now we will score and K-Rod will get the win.

Hey*smacks head*, I'll take that.

They drove me crazy a loooooooong time ago.

Why does Wright do the relay there? Isn't the shortstop supposed to get the outfield cutoff and the firstbaseman the infield one while Wright stays anchored on third?

The Mets seem to have re-written these plays in recent years to get the thirdbaseman involved.[/quote:wbacqd2t]

I'd have to see that again to see how things lined up. Wright could be the back-up relay man.

[seawolf17]

Well, that didn't work.

I rewound it. Reyes is standing to Wright's right, and there's another guy (Cora? Ike Davis?) standing in front of Reyes. Kinda don't know what they all were doing there, unless they were making dinner plans.

But it was Wright's play.

11th #Mets start for Johan Santana in which he went at least 7 inn and gave up 2 or fewer runs and got a no-decision.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Frankie comes out for the 10th? He must know that Santana is waiting for him in the clubhouse with a tire iron.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Kind of makes you wonder, seeing Rodriguez out there. Now he can go for seven outs?

[Fman99]

Forty pitches now for Frankie... I know they have tomorrow off but jeez, how many outs are you going to ask him to get?

[Guest Kong76]

Geez, I was better off watching the replays of the last two
games on early morning ESPNews than going through this for
3 1/2 hours and counting ...

[Fman99]

Phew. And on to the 11th we go...

(I need alcohol.)

[seawolf17]

11th.

Um, Metsies? I've kinda been up all day, what with my mom's funeral at all. Can we score some fucking runs so I can go to bed? You know if she was alive she'd be watching this game, yelling at the TV and calling me.

David, you were her favorite. Make it happen.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wow, Wolf.

[Frayed Knot]

At one point in the 9th inning three batters in a string of four were named Junior:
Gary Mathews (final out in top 9), Tony Gwynn, [Matt Stairs], Jerry Hairston

[Fman99]

Todd, at the casino. Todd, taking a photo, suitable for framing. Todd, you're a douche.

[Fman99]

Leadoff double. I foresee bad tidings.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Oh good. A lead off double. GRRRRRRRRR.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Sorry to hear that, Wolf. I was unaware.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wow, that worked! Feeling better all of a sudden.

[seawolf17]

Thanks, guys. Didn't mean to make David all sad, apparently.

Mom's favorite redeems himself with a nice tag on the lead runner on the bad bunt, and it's Garland at first with one out.

Hey! A guy in an old Nolan Ryan jersey!

[nymr83]

bases loaded....

[Fman99]

Valdes plunks Eck to load the bases. I am strangely OK with this.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Bases loaded for the Pad's best hitter....

[nymr83]

Gonzalez parks one, mets lose

[Fman99]

Well that sucks a fuckin cock.

[seawolf17]

I hope David Eckstein breaks his leg in the celebration.
