IGT 5/26/2011: NYM @ CHI -- It's Supposed to Keep Raining

[Ceetar]

Pain in right heel. Well that's helpful.

[TransMonk]

Fuckshit.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ruptured Achilles Dickey!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I heard he was born without an achilles tendon.

[TransMonk]

Beato's ERA baloons to 2.66 after that fun inning.

4-1 bad guys thru 4.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bearded pridie looking like HoJo hugging third and wearing 20.

But a popup by Tejada won't plate him. Here comes Fartinez.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wheefed him.

Bunt the runner home on this guy, Jose.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Could've used that trip two innings ago.

For fuck's sake, whippersnappers.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cubs announcers are ripping the Met batboys.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Thole RBI single

[TransMonk]

Bloop...I'll take it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Great at-bat for T.

Kind of leaves me wishing that Reyes had been at second at the time.

[metirish]

Listening to the radio call , every play it seems is sponsored by someone "safe and secure" at 1st , 2nd and 3rd being one of th more annoying ones.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Asspats for Thole.

Finish him, 'Los.

Yeah, well, our best power threat has done nothing in three trips up with men on. Meanwhile, we can't get their mouth-breathing pitcher out.

[TransMonk]

This is a lame game, gang.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Aaaaaand we're going lefty-righty... down five runs... in the 6th.

A Misch appearance is probably the #1 or #2 indicator of a game's lameness, absent any other information about said game.

[G-Fafif]

Howie with the play of the game when he suggested Cubs fans were at least learning how cold a World Series game can be.

Am I reading the box score correctly? Did the Mets really let K-Rod finish this lost cause of a game? I guess that Einhorn's 200 million is burning a hole in Freddie's pocket.

Yes. It certainly suggests that the Mets aren't worried about it, so why should we be?

Me? Worried? Au contraire.

You spoke too soon. Because it's looking like lame games at least every 5th game near term, going forward.

[Frayed Knot]

This whole series sucked.

The first time I heard something like that was when I heard Howard Cosell say (I paraphrase) "Looks like the Braves have given up on this game. Ron Piche is coming in to pitch."
