IGT Friday June 4th Mets vs. Fish

[Fman99]

Welcome home Mets! And not a day too soon...

[bmfc1]

We might have 3 new, or newish, Mets by 7:10 on Friday:

Ruben Tejada or Justin Turner for Castillo (DL)
Jesus Feliciano up with GMJ (hopefully) or Carter (getting stale on the bench) gone
Niese (for Saturday) activated and Perez (hopefully) or Valdes gone.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Can somebody give me a Justin Turrner tutorial? All I know about him is, well, that terrible movie he did with Hooch.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

What, no state facts?



Let's go Mets!

NY State Fact:

There's New York. And there's everywhere else.

That's a fact!

KC & JCL meeting for this one at McFadden's at 6 (or earlier). Come out and have a Dickey on me.

Here are the combined 2009 and 2010 totals and rates for HR's hit at Citi Field by the Mets and their opponents v. HR's hit on the road by Mets and their opponents:

Citi Field --- 163 HR/109 games = 1.50 HR/game
Road --- 182 HR/107 games = 1.70/HR/game


So far, Citi Field suppresses HR's overall, despite last season's splits to the contrary -- even though the team's decision to lower the height of the CF wall should logically increase the Citi Field HR rate.

Maybe if they lowered it all-around but it was a pretty small section that actually was lowered.

[nymr83]

its also not the same team, not the same opponents, and a small sample size, especially when you are talking about comparing one year to 2 months instead of looking at everything together.

oh, and if it does kill homers? i'm ok with that.

Close to a 50-50 split last time 'round, with JoseX4-- leaning more heavily Tejada's way as the [crossout:p3ioqf0b]month[/crossout:p3ioqf0b]week or so wore on-- right?

sorry,experiencing technical difficulties.

If this jinxes the game I'm gonna cry like an ump.

Thank you. That was meant to be a PM.
The comedic effect would be lost because as we all know, its timing. Timing baby.
And the site makes you watch a commercial and stuff.
F them. I'm not gonna feed their monster.

[bmfc1]

Omir is back. GMJ DFA'd.

Why Omir? Since they didn't want Feliciano, then why not Hessman?

Of course, GMJ is gone!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Is nobody following this sucka? I just came home to see Jason Bay double home a run to make it 3-2, Marlins.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Just got back from another goodbye party for a colleague*. But was following along with Howie and Wayne.


*Oh, this economy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

4 straight knucklers to Maybin notch the fourth Dickey-K of the night.

Over the last three, he's been about as cruise-control as a knuckler can rightfully expect to be.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two more walks to Wright. Maybe June is his month.

Can Barajas capitalize?

[Guest Edgy DC]

He can! Second and third and one out for Frenchbread. Do they go for him or Tejada?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

THROB'D AND FRENCH'D.



Why pitch to Francoeur instead of loading 'em for lil' Ruben? Dunno. Don'care.

Edited June 4, 2010 by Guest

[Guest Edgy DC]

BAM! First pitch single for Frenchfries!

Tie game. Barajas naturally stops as third. Tejada at the plate and MeJEEa warming in the pen.
