IGT 6/29/2011 Mets @ Tigers Capuano v. Coke

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah Miguel, while you're busy telling your teammates how far you hit that one, why don't you also tell them about how you can't be bothered to stretch even slightly for pick-off throws two nights in a row now.


Great hitter but that dude's been a frustrating player to watch practically since the first day he came up.

[Guest Edgy DC]

There we go. Striking out Martinez on an 87-MPH fastball. Mercy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Turner and Beltran get it started in the fifth.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cleanup Boy strikes again.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

This guy. This guy against lefties.

THIS guy.

[Lefty Specialist]

It's kinda scary watching a Met team that can't do anything wrong.

[Frayed Knot]

Paulino & Hairston -- put upon this earth to hit left-handers.

[Guest Edgy DC]

So, depleting the bullpen these first two games can at least force Verlander to work without a net.

[bmfc1]

You know when things are going well when you're positive that Bay will get a hit.

I know. Let's bat our backup catcher cleanup and watch it work out like gold.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yeesh. These Tigers and the sloppy.

Thank God Jim Leyland's dead, or there'd be hell to pay for these guys postgame.

[metirish]

@NYPost_MetsAt this rate, the Mets are going to have a hard time re-signing Dave Hudgens after this season.

Your welcome. That's Asdrubal Cabrera to the rest of you. Especially important as Mike Francesa thinks the All-Star Game should be a personal 3000 hit celebration for Jeter, when truthfully he shouldn't even be there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Was that path between the mound and the plate there at the beginning of the game or did Paulino wear it.

But, heavens to Betsy, we get out of it again!

[bmfc1]

Tigers color guy: the Mets sure run a lot.
Play by play guy: we don't see that in our league.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, 79 pitches for Cappy through five. Hang in there, superstar.

haha, awesome.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, we have a game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's pretty lousy, Chris.

[Ceetar]

btw, that's Asdrubal Cabrera you have to vote for, not this Miggy one that just hit another home run to put this game in K-Rod range.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Whoops.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Beato in.

[bmfc1]

Crap. Gonna be a long last 11 outs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, it would appear these Tigers are playing in earnest.

Well, now it's 10.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We're gonna need some "no, f*ck YOU" runs here.

And here I thought they were playing in Detroit.



Oh well, that's why you build big leads -- so you can survive 2-HR innings later on.
Now we just have to stop treating this Ryan Perry guy as if he's Gaylord Perry.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Love those runs.

Beltran leads off with a tingle, and they're letting Paulino bat against the rightie.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Your turn, Danny.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Never try to get a slider by an Amish guy.
