IGT Saturday June 5th Mets/Marlins

[Fman99]

The return of Jon Niese and my hope to extend an IGT winning streak to two. Starting one on a homestand helps.

[G-Fafif]

Here are some Mets who might help:

Jose Reyes � SS
Angel Pagan � CF
Jason Bay � LF
Ike Davis � 1B
David Wright � 3B
Rod Barajas - C
Jeff Francoeur � RF
Ruben Tejada � 2B
Jonathon Niese � P

[G-Fafif]

Here are some Marlins who might not help:

Coghlan - LF
Sanchez - 1B
Ramirez - SS
Cantu - 3B
Uggla - 2B
Ross -RF
Paulino - C
Maybin - CF
Robertson - P

Nice opening half by Niese.
He looks......




wait for it



tricky.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

1-2-3 for Niese in the first, with hamstring intact. Aces.

[Zvon]

Shit, Robertson looks tricky too.

[Zvon]

It would be Uggla that breaks up the no hitter.
Him and Utley make me puke.

We could use a 2nd baseman like that...

OMAR! GO GET EM BOTH!

[Zvon]

Big K by Niese and the 5-4 and he's outta the inning.

I look at Niese's face and I think he must be a species of bird.

[Guest themetfairy]

1-0 Mets on Frenchy's single.

[Zvon]

Seeing some good baseball here.

[Zvon]

No, thats fortunate managing.

[Zvon]

I la-la-la-liked that eh.....eh.eh....inning
very much

[Zvon]

If they try to take out Tejada again I'm gonna get me a gun.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Big K by Niese and the 5-4 and he's outta the inning.

I look at Niese's face and I think he must be a species of bird.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Pagan leadoff double to right-center. Three doubles hit by the last seven hitters.

Meanwhile, Bay's taking at-bats today like he's got a pot boiling in the dugout to which he wants to get back.

[Guest themetfairy]

Nice Ka-Boom by Mr. Wright!

[nymr83]

I'm liking this Tejada kid today, smacked one off what Wayne Haggin called "the great wall of flushing" and hung in there against the takeout slide at 2nd

[Zvon]

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ike's RBI single-- on 0-2-- makes him 2-2. Slump over... solidly.




And then there's David. Whoever caught that had to pay a lot extra to do so... because he hit it TO THE FRIGGING ACELA CLUB.

Listening to the national broadcast announcers is making my ears bleed....

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Eric Karros could teach Ace Ventura a thing or two about talking out of his rectum, no?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hawk through 4, 2 hits, 3 baserunners allowed.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

2nd inning-ending DP-- this one 6-4-3-- gives Niese 5 shutout innings.

Meanwhile, on the batside... Ike's second double chases Robertson in the bottom half of the inning.

[Zvon]

Ike's RBI single-- on 0-2-- makes him 2-2. Slump over... solidly.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

DABIDRYE!

Davis scampers home. 6-0, goods.

Thanks again, Hanley; your not getting over to cover second in time-- as per your defensive assignment-- allows Davey to practically duck-walk into second on the throw home.

[Guest Kong76]

Karros is pretty bad.

He hit 11 homers at Shea, so he liked it.

[Gwreck]

Per Howie (and Chris M.) on the broadcast, this is the first all-homegrown infield the Mets have started in a game since a Huskey-Bogar-Ordonez-Alfonzo alignment in '96.

I don't know about you guys, but June 10th can't come fast enough. Either WFAN's ad rates are really low, or Foxwoods drops a ton of dough promoting Jethro Tull.

[Zvon]

Rosenthal always sounds like a little boy trying to please his parents.

[Zvon]

Nice Ka-Boom by Mr. Wright!
