IGT - Mets v. Bucs, 9/16/2010

[Willets Point]

For the sweep.

It's a good thing that my hotel has wifi so I can keep these IGT's up right through my vacation, if necessary. And it will be necessary because the Mets are winning all the rest of their games.

[Frayed Knot]

Reyes SS
Feliciano RF
Pagan CF
Wright 3B
Davis 1B
Thole C
Duda LF
Tejada 2B
Pelfrey RHP

[HahnSolo]

Come on Lucas. A nice 4-for-4 night might get you back on the interstate.

[G-Fafif]

The loyal opposition:

Andrew McCutchen, CF
Jose Tabata, LF
Neil Walker, 2B
Garrett Jones, 1B
Pedro Alvarez, 3B
John Bowker, RF
Ronny Cedeno, SS
Chris Snyder, C
Charlie Morton, RHP

Charlie Morton, 2010: 1-11, 9.05 ERA, 1.924 WHIP...and not necessarily not praying for rain every fifth day.

[G-Fafif]

Three games @ Mets, no starts for Milledge.

[Guest Edgy DC]

GIVE ME NICKEAS!

[G-Fafif]

7:20 start, impressive given the hours preceding and the gullywashers in the area.

[Guest themetfairy]

A 1-2-3 first inning for Pelf.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This guy Morton is a real wild child.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I was trying to get home at Met-rush hour and learned the hard way that 7 trains were suspended in both directions. Couldn't help attendance tonite.

[Guest themetfairy]

Gorgeous catch/double play by Angel Pagan!

[Guest themetfairy]

Followed by an RBI triple. 2-0 Pirates.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dude, uh!

[Ceetar]

Duda above the Mcginsky line!

Unzippity Doo-Dah

[Guest themetfairy]

Pelfrey drives in Duda to give th.e Mets a 3-2 lead in the 6th.

[Guest themetfairy]

Pelfrey, out of the game after 7 innings, gave Jerry a hug in the dugout. They seem to have made up (but, as far as I can tell, not kissed).

[Guest Edgy DC]

Come on Lucas. A nice 4-for-4 night might get you back on the interstate.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And then, in looking for an insurance run... he bats his second-best overall hitter.

When Jerry finally does bite it, I will relish that day like one relishes leaving a toxic relationship or terrible job.

[Guest themetfairy]

Sac fly for Isaac Benjamin drives in Angel for an insurance run.

Insert habit for job here for me and it describes my fandom some nights.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Good takeaway from the second half: Josh Thole looks like he can hack it up here.

Dude always looks like he's got a plan up there. He gives me that comforting, chamomile kind of feeling in my belly.

Also... the defense is borderline GOOD this year. (Especially the arm.)

[Guest Edgy DC]

The thing is that it's no surpise Thole's numbers fell under the daily grind of playing regularly. He'd have his bad games at the plate along the way, but while playing every day, he never fell into a deep dark slump (cough! Barajas!). Next year looks good for him.

I think Blanco comes back too, with Nickeas on hold at AAA.

[Frayed Knot]

Man, the Pirate infielders have justmissed a ton of balls this week - and that's in addition to the ones they've just plain booted.
Not surprising that you see that sort of stuff from a last place club.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Howie and Wayne verbally beating the piss out of the 2010 Pirates in general and John Russell in particular.

Guys --- terrible road play, overstrategizing manager, stubbornly sticking to a losing system ---- where was this when Jerry had it coming?

[Guest Edgy DC]

The New York Lottery kitten commercial is killing me.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Where's my favorite broom dealer?

[Guest Kong76]

Yay, we swept the Pirates ... woo hoo

[Guest Kong76]

And yes, I miss that guy ...
