IGT 8/10/11 Padres at Mets

[Guest holychicken]

Was pagan yanked because of that lazy play out in centerfield? Or was it something else?

This was both a fun and frustrating game to be at. They kept making it interesting, and then totally screwing it up to make it uninteresting.

However, I was sitting next to a Greek couple who had never been (nor watched even) a game of baseball before. It was fun explaining it to them. At one point they said "we are going to have to pay you."

Back spasms. Day-to-day.

Were I you, I wouldn't take a check from the Greeks.

The roster of culprits last night reads like a nearly complete list of who played:
- Duda - on the play where Parnell failed to touch first big Lucas started off the problem by once again ranging too far to get the ball. Turner had it easily.
- Parnell - aforementioned failure to touch 1st then holding on to the ball while the runner is trapped off 3rd, plus shitty relieving in general
- Turner - left a small island of folks stranded
- Tejeda - on the night he decides to hit he suddenly forgets to slide. Also had a possible out at home and a certain one at 3rd so he takes the one at 1st. That play let in one run and a subsequent single let in another.
- Bay - an oh-fer which killed his 11 game hit streak and several scoring chances
- Pagan - horrid throw, then quickly left the game so it looks like the bad back caused the throw
- Beato - not good
- Dickey - not good pitching (lots of early fastballs?!) plus his own error

Ummmm, Thole was good.

Tell them to come back and watch a good game next time.

Baxter comes up clean?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thole got snookered on the double-steal.

[metirish]

Several young ones still learning to play the game at this level , is that fair to say? Good to see Collins aided by Paulino talking over the non slide with Tejada in the dugout.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tejada is still very young and may not have that much English.

More Harris, I think, than Thole.


Baxter looked like he might have turned a double into a single but it probably wasn't a gimme so I'll let him slide on that one.

I'm now 2-6 in IGT. I think I'm 3-7 at Citi this year, so that's probably fitting.

I have a hard time giving Duda grief here. He fielded it cleanly and made a good throw. Nothing Duda did caused Parnell to miss the bag.

I nkow it's a lot to ask, but for the good of humanity, I think Ceetar should make the personal sacrifice and start frequenting Yankee IGT's and games.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Those were two amazin' wins though.
