IGT 8/26/10 FLA @ NYM: Goodbye Fish, Hello Forum

[G-Fafif]

CPF Nite @ Citi Field coincides with the Marlins' last game in our immediate midst. It's a fact: This will be the first September since 2000 when we don't host Florida...and the first time in the era of the unbalanced schedule.

This treat comes two and three years too late, respectively.

Niese goes tonight even though it's Pelfrey's turn. I assume Jerry is keeping the Big guy out of harm's way.

[metirish]

Will Ramirez have the orange hair tonight again, apparently an attempt to rile the Mets and us fans.

[G-Fafif]

They got rid of Cantu. They got rid of Ross. Coghlan cleverly got rid of himself by tearing up his knee while delivering a walkoff pie to the face of Wes Helms.

To paraphrase Jon Lovitz as Michael Dukakis on "SNL" in 1988 re: Dana Carvey as George Bush, I can't believe we're behind these guys.

I've never before been so happy to see the name Castillo in a lineup.

[Zvon]

Nice open by Niese.
2ks, flyout and a walk.
I'd pitch around Morrison too.

[Zvon]

[Zvon]

Eat it Helms.
Nice glove

gah! why was jose pulled?

Nothing confirmed yet.
They think he tweaked something.
He did not look hurt or in pain, but the trainer came out to first after his base hit and they walked off together.
I could see Reyes and Manuel talking as Jose sat on the bench but the chat gave no indication where he was hurtin.

[Zvon]

Frenchy 2 for 2 with a ribby.


I predict in the future Francoeur will
close the season as hot as he began it.

Regardless of how many of us feel about Jeff, you gotta be rooting for this.

[Zvon]

Another totally blown call.
Damn.

[bmfc1]

Friggin' umps have one job do it and they can't do it right. Good thing they get 4 weeks vacation so they can rest after working so hard.

I root against anything that might incline the Mets to bring Frenchy back next year.

Mets SS Jose Reyes left Thursday's game against the Marlins after aggravating his oblique strain. He reached base on a single in the second inning, and was replaced by a pinch runner. The team issued a statement saying he would "hold off from baseball activities until he is pain free."

[Zvon]

Sitdown Maybin!
You suck.

[Guest attgig]

good little tidbit on chip hale. perhaps him sending the runners couple nights ago with stanton throwing was because of good scouting by hale.


boo on frenchy going 3rd.

There was a great pregame bit too, if you saw.

Morrison had to be perfect there.
And he was.
Dagnabbitt.

[Zvon]

Ouch, that hit Morrison around 3 times.

[Zvon]

Anyone see the way Ramirez stared down Thole for trying to take him out on the DP earlier?
What a doosh.
Gah, he singles.
I really hat Hanley.

[Zvon]

WHOA!
WOW, what a grab by Frenchy.
Oh man, they tie it but that could have been curtains.

[Zvon]

And wtf happened there?
That had some good air time.
Why wasn't Francoeur under that?

[Zvon]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You knew that Castillo's shallow fly with the bases jammed and Francoeur's idiotic attempt to take third with 0 outs would kill us, I just didn't know how badly.

[Zvon]

UGH!
The pain.

Who the hell are they booin at there?
Wrights glove?
Silly spectators.

Well this went down the toilet rather quickly.

9-4 FarginFish

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, let's waste a few more leadoff walks!

[Zvon]

whatryaswinginatThole?

[Fman99]

This thing went right into the shitter.

[Zvon]

That would have been the time to drill Hanley between the shoulderblades.
Orange hair indeed.
