IGT 8/22/10 NYM @ PIT: Go Deep, Let's Sweep

[G-Fafif]

More Met home runs! More Met complete games! Another Mets win, por favor!

Treat this place like Pirate Park @ PNC Yards.

[Zvon]

More rain with a lead after 5!

[bmfc1]

Have a reliever pitch the first and then put Santana in to start the 2d.

[Ceetar]

Jose Reyes - SS
Angel Pagan - LF
Carlos Beltran - CF
David Wright - 3B
Jeff Francoeur - RF
Ike Davis - 1B
Henry Blanco - C
Ruben Tejada - 2B
Johan Santana - LHP

[bmfc1]

Pirates:
McCutchen CF, Tabata LF, Walker 2B, Jones 1B, Alvarez 3B, Doumit C, Milledge RF, Cedeno SS, Duke P

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Though Beltran did hit that a ways, that was a plain-and-simple JoseJoseJoseJose run, there.

Been a few of those lately, eh?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

A Francoeur walk.

Somewhere, an angel gets quoted as saying, "They're going with young players; I just wish they'd admit it."

[bmfc1]

I love it when Jose is on 2d, the #2 hitter didn't move him over, so Jose gets to 3d on his own.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Covered for his own mistake, really.

Meanwhile, the Pirates are falling for Johan's change like it was a pretending-to-be-pregnant post-menopausal wife.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm feeling a Hank White home run at some point today.

[bmfc1]

Frigging umpires have so little to do, get paid so much, and they suck.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Duke looked like he was tiring a bit there in the second. It was nice of the umps to end the inning-- with that terrible call on Reyes-- for him like that.

Are you Dennis Miller?

[bmfc1]

Justin Turner, possible September call-up, got hurt today (tweet from a Bisons beat writer):
Turner has right knee injury. Didn't hear a pop. Maybe hyperextended. In pretty good pain.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Walk to Cedeno.

Grr.

OE: Nevermind.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Aw, shucks, I don't know about that completely deserved nobody appreciates me to the extent they should.Thanks for the compliment-- you're a true gentleman baggadouche.

Johan's pitching effectively through four.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ha.

Oh, and "dammit."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Double dammit.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

The hell with HoJo calling out the hitters. SANTANA should be calling out the hitters.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Something's gotta happen.

I lobby for Johan to come out next inning disguised as "relief pitcher" Sean Jantana.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I think I've seen enough of Frenchy now.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

we noy vry gud

No point in his ever getting another AB for the Mets.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

What a fucking travesty of an offense.

I mean, so is Pittsburgh's. But they've tagged an on-point Johan for two HRs.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ike was thisclose to a tie-boom there.

[bmfc1]

Is there any greater evidence that Jerry is an idiot than right now?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

?

What, sitting Carter?

(Just foul. DAMMIT.)
