IGT 6/19/2011 Angels @ Mets Chatwood v. Niese

[ashie62]

To the winner goes the series. Tyler Chatwood has been underwhelming as a rookie. I hope he is not one of those guys the Mets see for the first time and don't.

Fathers Day baseball...

Wasn't he the guy who hit the last second shot in 'Hoosiers'?

The only thing worse than three runs against the Mets is three runs against the Mets followed by a commercial featuring Jeter.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Down 4-0 with two on. This would be a serious rally if Bay's shot was called fair.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gotta do a better job getting some better batters in there for Tejada.

[Theoldmole]

Fantastic play by Reyes.*



*Don't trade him.

[ashie62]

Chatwood performing the "unhittable first time starter vs. Mets" role well.

That would be Maris Valainis as "Jimmy."

[ashie62]

OK, Ralph is treading dangerous territory with the "Jose can you see" jokes..

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ralph sounds a little slurrier than usual today, actually.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Who is Eamon McIneny?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Vernon Wells?

[Guest Edgy DC]

1-2-3 for Beato.

Flat Mets today.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes gets another crack.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jose gets a rip in and the Mets break the shutout.

Tying run on triple deck.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Beltran brings another home. Two out, tying run on double deck.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Awesome. A "Let's go, Mets" cheer.

Hairston pinch-hitting for Murphy against the lefty? OK.

[Frayed Knot]

There's an ump with an early plane reservation!

[Guest Edgy DC]

And a crappy call ends it. It's a getaway day for the umps also.

The Mets came out flat. But the Angels deserved to lose for coming out with red numbers against red tops. Come on. Care.

[bmfc1]

Not even close at first. Was that guy a vacation ump?

[ashie62]

Well, that was a peach, and Hairston was very safe.

Rookie. But already blowin' 'em like a veteran. They're calling him a young Jim Joyce.

Eamon McAnaney is one of SNY's in-house shouting heads on its nightly wrapup show. He and his counterpart, Marc Malusis, and the segment as a whole remain an excellent advertisement for keeping spare batteries on hand to make sure your remote control works without interruption, particularly the mute button.

[G-Fafif]

Love that Ralph repeated his "Happy birthday to all you fathers" line on his way out the door.

[G-Fafif]

Jose Reyes � SS
Justin Turner � 3B
Carlos Beltran � RF
Daniel Murphy � 1B
Angel Pagan � CF
Jason Bay � LF
Josh Thole � C
Ruben Tejada � 2B
Jonathon Niese � LHP

I wanted to post this early AM, but Ashie hadn't generated an IGT. I don't want to say that's why we lost...

That's not why we lost.

He was subbing for Guys? today. Don't mean to sound like the Washington Post, but get a female or a man of color or one of those comics the Mets are so popular with. Heck, two guys can cover the booth. Send Darling on a jaunt into the unwashed masses. (We all konw that Keith doesn't get out of bed for less than $10,000.)

[G-Fafif]

He's under contract and is an occasional weekend anchor fill-in, so perhaps he was most available. Behind Guys! there really is no depth per se on the SNY Mets beat bench. Darling may have been doing a TBS game. (Guys! is doing a Cyclones game Monday night so he was given the day off to be with his family, or as he calls them, Guys.)

McAnaney doesn't do a thing for me but it was refreshing to hear at least one report that wasn't interspersed with "Guys," "Guys!" and "Guys?"

[ashie62]

Better than "Hey Guys and Dolls!."

not sure where to put this, but to me the ph by willie harris was a disaster and tbh you look at the numbers (2 for 25 or something) I blame Collins. It'd almost have been better to let Carasco bunt so at least we'd get lead runner to 3rd and keep him in the game. There's no doubt that if Reyes' fly had been with a man on 3rd he'd have scored - & Tejeda would probably have advanced too. Or else bring in the guy you think has the best bet to actually do damage (which i'd have thought would be Hairston). 2 men on with nobody out - that's your chance to make the game get closer and willie harris isn't the man I'd give that responsibility to.
