IGT, Mets @ Braves, 08/30/10

[Fman99]

I like watching Acosta pitch. I'd like to see him get a chance to close in 2011 if the Mets can throw K-Rod into the Baby Jessica well somehow.

[Fman99]

Mejia tonight: 8.0 ip, 5h, 1r, 1bb, 9k. Wanna bet he takes the Misch start on Saturday?[/quote:1v2k14cj]

I freaking hope so, as I'll be there for his second scheduled start.[/quote:1v2k14cj]

GKR speculate the same thing.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Somebody help these guys. What was Carter looking for with the bases loaded, two outs and a 2-0 count. Takes a fastball down the middle and the same pitch at 2-1. WTF. .190 with bases loaded and two outs for the entire fucking season. Damn!

[Fman99]

I rescind my comment. MANNY ACOSTA SUCKS A GEORGIA DONG.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Four runs with two outs for the Braves.

You're so fickle.

Seriously, if I hear one more word of speculation about who is going to close, I'm going to holler.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Big inning for Atlanta.

[Guest themetfairy]

So much for the Mets sweeping this series....

[Guest Edgy DC]

For consolation, though... we have an Ollie sighting in the pen.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

I think Chad Cordero should close.

Oooooh , I was just one my way out the door, but i have to see this.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We have Perez!

Go, Ollie!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh. Oh, dear.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Boom goes the dynomite!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Booth not being very fair, here.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Howie Rose just referred to Ollie's pitching as "chuck and duck." Thanks Howie.

[ashie62]

WTG Ollie!

It doesn't matter in 2010 who closes for the Mets, pleez..

I guess Howie has seen "Bull Durham" also.

[Guest Edgy DC]

They're beating the shit out of the guy.

"I just wonder how it feels to be Oliver Perez." You see him every day, guys --- why don't you ask him?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Several people have. He kind of talks around the question. "It's on them." "I'm ready to pitch." "They just have to call my name."

[Guest The Second Spitter]

My next handle on CPF is gonna be: Ollie Boma Ye

[Guest Edgy DC]

I disagree with SNY's poll. The point is whether Ollie is being treated unfairly. The point is whether he's being treated responsibly. If Omar wants to keep him around, Jerry has some responsibility to get some work for him.

Now these guys are talking class warfare. Oh, Hell.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Nomar's talking about trading Wright if Beltran's not healthy next season.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He on the ESPN feed?

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Fairly sure it's him.

Another horrible call by Balking Bob.

[Guest Edgy DC]

According to Gameday, neither of those strike-threes that Pagan looked at were real strikes.

Both too close to take, though. Certainly too close to take 0-2.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let's score about 20 off of Wagner.

Gonna watch this game in a bit, or some of it.
What was Perez doing in this game?
He hasn't pitched for what? A month?
And he gets the ball in this game?
We better have been down by 8 or more runs when he got the call.
