IGT 7/1/2011: MFY @ NYM -- Watch the 7 Roll

[G-Fafif]

The 7, of course, is batting leadoff.

Girardi's nightmare:

Jose Reyes, ss
Justin Turner, 3b
Carlos Beltran, rf
Daniel Murphy, 1b
Angel Pagan, cf
Jason Bay, lf
Ronny Paulino, c
Ruben Tejada, 2b
Jon Niese, lhp

[Guest Edgy DC]

I would love it if referring to Jos� as "The Seven" hit the popular zeitgeist.

> The Yankees can't sign The Seven! They've already retired his number!

> I know! Waddyagonna do? Dress him 47?! Doesn't work!

> Exactly! He's The Seven! It's who he is! His name is his name!

> �Mis hermanos, viva El Siete!

> �VIVA EL SIETE!

Russell Martin C
Andruw Jones LF
Eduardo Nunez SS
Ivan Nova P

Since we never got a KTE (at least not yet)

Nick Swisher RF -- Slow start, coming on lately. Not only not a real good OFer but he's going to find out that this RF is a helluva lot harder/bigger to cover than the RF in YSIII
Curtis Granderson CF -- Fast start but slower June (21 HRs, had 17 at the end of May). Good defense and a definite triples threat in CitiField
Mark Teixeira 1B -- Tied for ML lead in HRs
Slappy 3B -- What else is there to say about this schmuck that hasn't already been said? Not a great season by his standards although obviously still dangerous.
Robinson Cano 2B -- The MVP awarded him for this season during spring training isn't looking too good right now. Had a tough May, better now.
Russell Martin C -- Got off to a hot start but showing his true colors since. We'll see Cervelli at least once this weekend.
Andruw Jones LF -- Some power now & then but little else. Only 86 ABs for the year.
Eduardo Nunez SS -- More power than Jeter, but less OBP (even now) and lots of errors in a short span.
Ivan Nova P -- 'John New'. 15 starts; 7-4; 4.26 ERA; 1.45 WHiP. Held us to 3 runs - although 11 hits - over 6.2 IPs earlier in the year.

Man I wish that worked into an acronym for METS.

Reason #12359 why I love Keith Hernandez:

When A-Rod wimps out and gets tagged by Tejada on the basepaths, Keith says, "Where's the purse?"

that was just great

[Lefty Specialist]

[Frayed Knot]

Do these guys ever hit the fuckin' ball at someone?!?!
Except for the DP that Tejada turned, everything they've hit found a hole.

[Gwreck]

I want Paulino benched for inexcusable loafing on the bases. I don't care that he's slow; I don't care that he probably would have been out even if he ran as hard as he could.

You don't try, you don't play. Make it happen Terry.

[Gwreck]

Bases loaded for Pagan with two outs in the fifth. If we want to win this game, now is the time.

[bmfc1]

Overrated director Bill Webb keeps showing MFY fans. SNY shows Jeter commercials. This is a Mets broadcast, isn't it?

[Guest attgig]

Nice K

[Gwreck]

Huge strikeout of Whiney.

[Guest attgig]

One more out. Let's go

much bigger things to worry about here , Posada down looking like an idiot with the bases loaded.....come one Niese

Swisher grounds out..great job

[Guest attgig]

Way to get out of that jam

[Guest attgig]

Bats gotta come alive now.

[Ceetar]

I love that Reyes is so awesome he can keep Cano from scoring from third on a single.

[Guest attgig]

Bay's become a walk machine

If he's not gonna be an RBI machine, it's a good compromise from out machine.

[bmfc1]

Several chances tonight but no big 2 out hits.
