IGT, 5/7: Una Vez Mas?

[Frayed Knot]

Geez, has the pacing of these last two games been slow enough?
A foot race between Oprah and Rosie O'Donnell moves along faster.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jerry Stiller: No more embarassing than a typical day at Wrigley. (As if that's our goal.)

Seriously, strange how many people get asked to sing that song without them really knowing how it goes.

Bad jobbie by Reyes. Did he seem to be running gingerly? (But a really bad jobbie by Tjerry.)

[Gwreck]

If it can be proven that Burkhardt is responsible for the Stiller interview, I am fine with him being fired immediately.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Big job by Byrdak, fanning Ethier.

Big job by CitiField, holding Kemp.

[Fman99]

Just tuned in (via MLB app on my phone as my fucking television provider doesn't carry WPIX and the Mets are blacked out on MLB Extra Innings).

Stiller even sent Reyes to the MFY's

Thats what happens when you live at the CPF Rock Palace.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Here's the point where the go with the lefty to face Davis-Pridie-Thole, but you know Hairston will bat for Pridie. Maybe they pinch-hit for Thole, too.

[ashie62]

No pinch hit

extra innings loom.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Or... let Pridie bat and magic happen.

[ashie62]

I still don't like bunting.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tell me why.

Written by Lennon-McCartney and they can't bunt.

Seriously. I had Ace Frehley up on the roof working the dish today, all for naught.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The coach is named Chip and he turns his head
But he doesn't say a word
Terry sits on the pine and he flashes the sign
And meaning behind is a great big turd
And Ashie doesn't understand it
He always says "Let the batter bat"
And he can see... no reasons
Cuz there are... no reasons
What reasons do you need for that?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tell me why!
I don't like bunting
Tell me why!
I don't like bunting
Tell me why!
I don't like bunting
I wanta shit-it-it-it-it-it
When they lay one down

[Gwreck]

HUGE

[Fman99]

Just in? TURN HER!

[ashie62]

And if Paulino could run the bases...

[Gwreck]

BOOKS!

[Fman99]

Put it in the books!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Wow, Frankie wasn't scary tonight. No acclerated heart rate or tightness in my temple.

[Frayed Knot]

So other than the injured starter, two bad base-running plays by Reyes, the two base-running goofs by Paulino, and a pace of play which rivals plate tectonics, it was a pretty good game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Have to say, I don't much appreciate Gary going on about Mets pitchers giving up a .400 OBP to number-eight hitters without at least adding on that it's in part coming from on high, with them pitching around eighties or outright walking them with runners on base.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, IWs really need to be taken out when considering OBAs.
Several version of 'Runs Created' do treat regular walks and IWs separately.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Speaking of walks, the golden grace of this game has to be all the different Mets grinding them out. Mature way to win. It was 4-2, but it might have just as easily been 8-2 with an odd break or two.

[Frayed Knot]

Could have been 8-2 the other way considering all the runners the Dodgers stranded - particularly early.
Game might have set a record for foul balls.

[MFS62]

I can't get the thought out of my head that if Pelfrey had Dillon Gee's cojones, he'd be a 20 game winner.
