Mr. Eating Clubs vs. Mr. Innings-Eater. Can we make it an actual winning streak? Keep this hitting/airtight bullpen thing happening? Keep on dancing to the rock and roll... on Saturday night, Saturday night?

Gee Whiz!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm loving Dillon Gee!

[ashie62]

I suspect Gee will get all the work he wants this season.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He must come from Texas CIRCUS folk-- he's been living on tiptoe tonight.

[ashie62]

Double by David...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fucking Canuck. What's that, 4 LOB?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm blaming that run on the combined negative mojo of Guys! and George Foster. (Really, man-- your shitty play was due to the Mets' "not being ready to win?" Go eat your mate or something.)

I watch about as many games on SNY as the next person. Can someone explain to me what exactly the problem with Burkhardt is? (No, seriously. I don't get what people have against him).

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crisis can lead folks to attack within.

Meanwise, George Foster looks like $1,000,000.

He's a 1982 Met. There are 2002 Mets who aren't in shape that good.

[ashie62]

George Foster did seem at all like the moody ballplayer I remember

[Guest Edgy DC]

Seems like we went to the pen prematurely.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The timing/length of the in-game pieces is suspect, and there's often an inordinate amount of praise for opposing players who are doing well during a particular series. Also, his understanding of the game can be poor and almost ostentatiously (willfully?) "jock"y.

On another note, Mike O'Connor comes to the plate like he's made out of 3-foot-long 2x4s and C-clamps.

I don't see his understanding as poor. I agree he praises opposing teams' players too much but it would be disingenuous to call Burkhardt out on that without also calling Darling out for the same thing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Talk about praising the opposition. Listen to the radio crew. I don't get a lack of understanding of the game, either. I mean, Gary and Ron are sitting here this inning scratching their heads over the notion of Hu being removed from the roster. Who's going to be the backup shortstop? Who's going to provide late inning defense?

Maybe the guy who they replace him with. Back to you, guys.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Did Gary just call Jerry Stiller "George Costanza"?

[Gwreck]

Yep. I am of the mind that Seinfeld is one of the most wildly overrated television shows of all time but even I know that's not right.

damn , he did and not a minute later Ron is all over him for his ability to remember names and dates.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Igarashi sure seems to be throwing with confidence.

but not strikes

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well he got the first two guys (three, with the error) with efficiencey. It took me two or three tries to submit that post, and now he's walked the seven and eight hitters.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Surprised to see him stay in and face Sands.

Frank Costanza must be getting antsy waiting for that third out.

[metirish]

hilarious , the cameras zoom in on Chip Hale who looks like he's having the worst day ever, head shaking the lot , then he turns around and starts jawing to Igarashi's interpreter.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jerry Sands: No. Soup. For. You.

[Gwreck]

Jerry Stiller: embarrassing. Extremely embarrassing.
