IGT Tuesday July 26 Mets (Niese) vs. Reds (Cueto)

[Fman99]

Keep pouring it on, boys! Nice RBI single for Muffie there.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I was fairly certain Bay was going to hit into a triple play there so I'm relieved he went down like a kitten on strikes.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice hustle by Muffy there.
That could be a big play.

[Guest themetfairy]

Nice RBI pinch-hit by Angel!

Shoulda been two ribbies, but Paulino didn't know that there were two outs and wasn't running on contact....

These ducks left on the pond are going to bite us.

hopefully not. I feel like Bay's left a dozen on himself.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Surprise! I've got a splitter again!



(Effective outings-- the latest in a long recent chain-- by Acosta and Igarashi? Trade deadline week is spooky.)

[Theoldmole]

The death of a thousand pecks?

[Fman99]

Nice of Jason Bay to snuff out another rally. Oh, wait, that was a Mets rally.

BOO

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice play by Iggy there. This thing is far from over!

at the rate he gets outs, he'd be the best reliever on the league.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Is that a Jheri-Curl on Igarashi?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Willie Harris, ladies and gentlemen.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey Willie Harris, I pre-emptively take back every bad thing I might ever say about you. Nice catchie.

[Frayed Knot]

Tough part of the lineup for Beato

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That was a great hitting job by Votto. That sinker was shoelace-high.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Mr. Spaceman in to get the final out.

[Frayed Knot]

I know Byrdak K'd Bruce yesterday but didn't they also mention something about him being like .300 against him with several HRs prior to this season?

I'm not sure I'd push your luck with this and would have stayed with Beato myself.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wayne Hagin told us all about Bruce's division winning AB vs. Byrdak last year.

There's that, but I think the TV guys gave a larger sample size which wasn't pretty.
Either that or I'm mixing it up with something else and don't know what I'm talking about.
Either way, it worked and I'M HAPPY (even though it was a sloppy, sloppy game).

[Piggiestomatoes]

Puddy gets the K and we get the happy recap. Good W after pissing away the lead.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"The committee has ruled: YOU LOSE!"

[bmfc1]

Wow. Terry doesn't panic, sticks with his plan to rest Isringhausen and Parnell, goes through the bullpen and gets 4 innings to protect the lead and get the win. Helluva job by Terry. Helluva job by Beato, Igarashi, Acosta and Byrdak.

@AdamRubinESPN Byrdak has 4 career saves with 4 different teams in 3 different decades.

He's as regular as Haley's Comet.
