The Road To Perdition? NO! IGT Mets at Braves, 8/2/10

Santana: First innings aren't my bag, baby.

[batmagadanleadoff]

This is all good. Because another inning like this one and it'll be Ollie time. And then the Wilpons can justify why they're carrying the useless pitcher.

Castillo: And I'm no longer into that whole successfully turn the DP thing, man.

Lousy first inning epidemic. FU, Johan.

[ashie62]

Omar needs a brand new bag.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Don't ya just love that .200 OBA.

And Francoeur leads off the inning by swinging at three pitches outside of the strike zone before finally fouling out. I like this plan to include Frenchy in the starting lineup when it seems that the Mets' backs are against the wall. It's the ....

Nice Louie.
I one third forgive you.

[Zvon]

Wilford Brimley sighting,
behind the plate and to the right.

I really can't watch or listen to the first innings anymore. They're beginning to make me irrationally angry.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, this Mets team don't got it.

[Zvon]

When the Braves are in the field I can hear them yelling info to each other, so loud its in the broadcast.

Did anyone yell to Castillo there that Diaz was coming into second?

[ashie62]

The Mets forgot to show up.

[Zvon]

Well, there's always ice cream.
Breyers strawberry to be specific.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Didya see that? A Met pitcher sacked up.

[Zvon]

WOWKOOL!
I want that Thole card Ashie.
I bought 2 packs of A&Gtopps this summer and got the Reyes, which is also an awsum looking card.

[Frayed Knot]

Maybe Johan can try getting the leadoff hitter once in a while so he's not pitching out of the stretch all the time.
Dude's thrown like four pitches out of the wind-up the whole game.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Again with the black. Are they in mourning?

[Zvon]

Was Blanco in that movie?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yeah, for a promising young season cut down in its prime.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Frenchie and Castillo really killed that inning. I demand Johan hold the Braves here and we try again with the top of the order.

I'm just gonna throw this idea out there, and I know it may be perceived as heartless, but at this point is there any reason to give ABs to Francoeur? We know what he is and we know that he won't be a Met in '11 so how about calling up Evans? Since being promoted to AAA, he's 8 for 16 w/7 RBI. While Bay is out, once and for all we should get an idea if Evans is going to be part of a Mets future. Francoeur won't so let's see what Evans' got.

If Frenchy can't get it together to do something to the team that gave up on him, he's not gonna be good for much.
Even with my support of his throwing abilities and what they might be worth, if he doesn't do anything at the plate this series, I'm in your corner.

[Zvon]

Mets are on the board as Reyes>single>errant pickoff> Beltran>double= 1 run

[Zvon]

Now would be a good time to do something Jeff.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Frenchie Time.

[Zvon]

Frenchi, go work for Pepsi.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Frenchie Time.[/quote:43shyk6f]


Like Lima Time, only less fun.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Nice at bat, Frenchy.
