IGT #69 - Mets at MFYs, 6/20/10

[Guest Kong76]

Gary tells us that the Yanks came into the game batting
.414 with the bases loaded this season. There's nothing in-
tangible about that.

[Guest Kong76]

Go grab your pads and shut up, Jorge ... I'm getting grumpy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That jumpy-throwy thing ain't happenin'.

[Guest Edgy DC]

But the routine double-play is happenin'.

The 1996 Tigers allowed 14.[/quote:1gk0j4s0]

Well, then we're on a pace to beat that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

WHEN RUNNING DOWN THE LINE, I'M AS SLOW AS A CHILD OF SIBLINGS!

[Guest Edgy DC]

It seems to me that as long as we're playing one-run ball, we make ourselves prone to the the grandslam.

Now, we haven't been playing our annoying one-run strategy as much of late, but it's certainly possible that against Sabathia, Jerry and Johan are trying to heroically get out of that situation with no runs scoring. The smarter play by far is to get the batter and not worry much about the runner on third.

Just score here, Mets.

Bay walks ... hey, it's something.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bay is putting together a McReynolds 88 season on the basepaths.

Nah. It's nothing.

Fat lot of good it's doing.

I'd much rather have a Strawberry '88 at the plate.

[Guest Kong76]

Oh lord, Jeter and Michael Jordan in the same sentence.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We probably shouldn't have the Johan conversation today, right?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thanks for swinging 3-0 with no outs, A-Rod.

[Guest Kong76]

Here's an idea ... let's get half of it back in the 6th!

[Zvon]

I must be getting real old.
I mean, its freakin HOT out.
How can Santana, or any pitcher, throw inning after inning in this heat?
I just walked from the porch to the car and I need a nap.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Is Eckerlsey one of the TBS announcers today?

[Guest Kong76]

Cans of corn are going to haunt my sleep this evening.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

After Tejada's leadoff double, the Mets' top of the order saw five pitches in that half-inning.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice catch by Pagan!

[Guest Kong76]

It is pouring here, a short crow fly north of Skankee Stadium.

[Guest Kong76]

Gotta strand Cervelli here at third, punk prick.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Tatis is terrrible.

[Guest Kong76]

Not to get whiny, but Barajas got hosed there.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice inning my Jenrry.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jenrry Mejia, today you become a man.

Tatis is terrrible.

[Guest Kong76]

$100 to anyone who posts a picture of Stevie Jeets at the
game in a Yankee hat.

[Guest Kong76]

God, that was lame eighth.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Wayne, stop with the autopsy while the corpse is breathing.
