IGT 9/5/10 - Trying To Salvage Labor Day Weekend

[Guest themetfairy]

We're going out for the day with the Mets up 2-1 in the 2nd. Hawkman helps his own cause with an RBI single.

It's up to you guys to keep the lead while we're out!

Pagan RF
Hernandez 2B
Beltran CF
Davis 1B
Hessman 3B
Duda LF
Thole C
Tejada SS
Niese P

I think this is the first time all season there's nobody in the starting lineup who was in the opening day lineup.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Gawwwwwwwdammit. If he's fouling off all of your best stuff, and has been hitting everything out of the park lately... is putting him on semi-intentionally a bad idea?

(Although that was a fun little cam shot of Niese mouthing "no way" as he watched it go.)

[Fman99]

Great slide by Hernandez to tie it up. Beautiful fall day for baseball.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Surprised to see Dempster still in there.

Duda up with bases loaded, no outs, bases empty. 1-2 count.

Strikes him out.

[Piggiestomatoes]

After Thole suffered the same fate as Duda, who figured Tejada would get a knock. Pleasant surprise.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thole goes down looking and it looked like fanning three rookies would get Dempster out of it, but Tejada pokes one to center and it's 6-4.

Niese adds one and it's 704. In the Mets' lineup, it's...

Mets have seven runs today, scored by seven different guys. Tejada and Niese are our two runless Mets.

[Guest Edgy DC]

TEJADA!

First major league jack.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's eight Mets scoring a single run today. Everybody but Niese.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two run homer for Davis followed by a near-homer double for Hessman, trying to save his career.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Was that a Nick Evans sighting?

[Frayed Knot]

Up by 8 in the 8th inning with a day game tomorrow and he goes to Parnell?!?!?!?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yes. How about that?

Evans gets his first hit of the year.

HA! If he don't start the 9th what is he good for?

[Guest Edgy DC]

More appropriate to me is What is Jerry good for?

Bizzarro Mets 13-24 with RiSP.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Who are these players and what have they done with the real Mets?

[Zvon]

cripes. what is the point of Ollie taking a slot if he dont pitch here?
If I were him I wouldn't even bother suiting up anymore.
Just sit out there in my civies.

Totally valid! If this isn't a safe Ollie situation, they you might as well send him home right now.

[Zvon]

Three 5 run innings?!!
Wowzers.

Gonna have to watch this game in its entirety.

[Zvon]

WOW.
I know its Wrigley, but still.

21 hits.
5 RBI by Tejada!
4 hits by Davis, inc a double and homer!

yayhey!

[G-Fafif]

I do believe Labor Day Weekend got itself salvaged.

[seawolf17]

Well, shit. We shoulda called all these guys up in May.

[MFS62]

I can't wait for the callers to WFAN who say that the lineup is better without Wright and Reyes.
