5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Igarashi, come into my office.

You're fucking fired. Now beat it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, there's something about Igaraishi that doesn't seem to want to be here, anyhow. Doesn't bear down or something.

So, is Capuano your pinch-hitter in the bottom of the inning?

Hey, Pridie. You too.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pridie, you're welcome to join Igarashi at LaGuardia. Get the f out of the major leagues.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ugly sleestack helmets tonight also.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is on Sandy too and this shit bench he crafted. Harston and Hu can fuck off as well.

Holy fuick Niese hit a triple

Fuck!

I hat baseball.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Boo.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Shit ass bitch fuck losers **********s motherfucker asshole tits fuck.

I'd release Igarashi, Hu and Hairston, send Bay and Pridie to Buffalo.

[Gwreck]

I can't see how Hairston and Hu still have jobs. Igarashi goes as soon as Beato comes back.

Bay striking out with the runner on third and one out was what killed us, along with Igarashi's incompetence. He's a relief pitcher. You throw strikes (going down 2-0 to start the game was just terrible).

Extra inning rain delayed losses SUCK.

[Ceetar]

get to the park at 5, don't leave until after midnight and I don't even get a win out of it? ugh..

I did get a couple of fried shrimp, a piece of pizza, a fried chicken sandwich, half a keith's burger, half a pastrami sandwich, a breaded hotdog bite and an eggplant sandwich though.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Fuck me drunk, I have such a low tolerance for this bullshit. Bullshit. After seeing Arsenal throw away game after game in similar fashion for the last 3 months, this is complete bullshit.

That should have generated enough heartburn to at least keep you warm on a cold, rainy night.

Later

So glad I went all the way in and sat in the rain for this. A few thoughts:

* So many seemingly ill-advised decisions by Collins last night: Pinch-hitting Hu (yes, Harris sucks, but Hu is worse -- screw the L/R matchup), taking O'Connor (who was dealing) out, bunting Bay (HE'S YOUR EFFING CLEANUP HITTER), etc.
* If Wright wasn't available last night, then you needed someone there. You can't play short a roster spot. Looks like Bing and Buffalo were both far out of town last night (New Hampshire and Indianapolis, respectively), but still. And if Wright's there, shouldn't you hit him for Harris in the 9th? Or at least put him in the on-deck circle just for gamesmanship? Maybe?
* Huge section (20-25 guys) of dickhead Marlins fans started getting noisy and obnoxious in the left field corner last night. Got kicked out of the stadium in the middle of the ninth.

Argh.

[ashie62]

Ok, I'm gonna pin much of this on Bay. 1-7 now with runners on third and less than two out.Where has his bat speed gone.

Walking Chris Cuckold for Hanley Ramirez..nuts

Not using David to pinch hit? Prolly has to do with insurance.

Pridie? When you actually want a bunt he looks like a totally wanker.

Igarashi? Toodles.

Bright side? Beltran, Turner, Pelfrey, Bullpen other than Igarashi.

That. I knew there was something else that had me screaming at Terry from left field.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I get where the in-game urge strikes you... but in the cold, reflective light of morning, you're telling me you WANTED Terry Collins to use a stress-fractured David Wright last night?

Also... there are actual Marlins fans? Really?

this guy is just terrible , 21 games and nearly 80 AB's and if he wasn't Jason Bay with a fat contract he'd be out of here.

Obviously I don't know how well he's moving right now, but yes, I probably would have. You don't need a triple in that spot; all you need to do is get the ball out of the infield. And between Harris lefty-lefty, an injured David Wright, and Chin-Lung Hu, I choose Wright.

And yes; startlingly many, actually. All over the place. lots of RAMIREZ 2s, but STANTON 27s and even JOHNSON 55s.

[Centerfield]

I've been getting pretty good at the Ben Grimm philosophy (happy with Met wins, shrug of the shoulders with Met losses).

But not last night.

Wow that sucked big hairy moose cock.

We should probably be better about the "Going to the game thread"

Bay did prove he can bunt better than Pridie.

I'm sorry, Bay really fucking sucks moosecock.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I kinda wanted Reyes to bunt Neise home at the end. Much as the sacrifice is grossly overutilized, I fear the utility of the bunt single will die along with Luis Castillo's career.

I saw a ridiculous Delgado-type shift put on against LaRoche last night and swear he could have bunted a double. They were all but giving him the single.
