IGT 6/15/2010 NYM @ CLE: You Gotta Rock Cleveland

[ashie62]

ooh! Tie game!

[Guest themetfairy]

I met Feller when he was autographing his autobiography at Macy's Herald Square some time in the early 90's. I agree - he may be gruff, but he's a class act.

The game is tied thanks to some entertaining Indian misfielding. I'll take it.

[Guest themetfairy]

2-run homer for Isaac Benjamin! WTG Ike!

[ashie62]

KABOOM

[ashie62]

What if Jason Donald had been named "Donald"?

[Frayed Knot]

I've been fooled on at least half of Ike's HRs this year. It looks like he got under it or just missed it and they go out anyway.

And now, Ike, wasn't that a lot better than the bunt?

[Frayed Knot]

In light of the recent ESPN umpire survey we need to send out a CB Bucknor alert. He has 1B tonight which means he'll have the plate tomorrow.
Tonight, as Johan made the most obvious balk move in memory, the home & 2nd base umps were all over it immediately. Bucknor, the guy with theoretically the best view on that type of step-balk, never even flinched.

Ike "Hank Greenberg" Davis

Just botched the call at first on what became Kearns' second GIDP too.

[bmfc1]

Indians TV: not happy with CB Bucknor: "we never get a call" and call Pagan "Ahn-hell."

[Gwreck]

That blows.

[Guest Kong76]

Freakin' Frankie ... it's always drama time

[Guest themetfairy]

K-Rod decides to make it interesting by giving up a 2-out, 2-run homer before getting the final out. Whew!

[metirish]

I was going to come in and say fuck you Shelly amd then he hits a bomb....still , fuck you Shelly

[Gwreck]

Put it in the books!

[Guest Kong76]

He should only get 1/2 a save lol

[Frayed Knot]

The producers of tonight's Met game would like to thank the Cleveland infield, without their efforts the win would not have been possible.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

He shouldn't get a good seat on the bus ride back to the hotel. Games like this just show how worthless a stat the save is in my view.

[Guest Kong76]

7or 8 infield 'hits' tonight!

[Gwreck]

In further good news, Tampa dropped 4 on the Braves in the first inning.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

So. How much longer is K-Rod under contract?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Geez we really came close to losing that game a few times. Sounded like strike 3 to the batter before Shelly was a close call too, or that meatbag woulda tied it.

That you Reyes for ignoring that stop sign, and Bucknor for the call at first.

One nice thing this year is we're not getting out-defenced most nights, this was one where that made a big difference.

Well, it looked early on like one of those games where the Mets cant hit a pitcher theyv'e seen for the first time. Santana was vapid. So, Its' a nice win.

[Zvon]

Just saw the highlights.
WOOT!

[Zvon]

Nice read, nice win, glad I didn't follow the 9th live.

Reyes makin things happen.
Wright bustin it up the line.
I love Ike, man.

If Santana is hurtin, after the way he was keepin it mum last time,
I hope the Mets know to check him out whether he wants it or not.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Watched the latter half of this game while at Spa Castle with BetterHalfer and YoungerPooper (I had a neck thing today).

The last couple of innings, I caught in the locker room, surrounded by nude fat men flopping in and out of the hot tubs. Between that and K-Rod, it was not the most relaxing of times.

Rays pound Braves 10-4 (good buddy). Mets only a half-game from first and tied in the loss column. Rest assured if they were tied in the win column, that would be emphasized.
