I.G.T. 8/11/2011 Gaydame Padres @ Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

Why pinch-hit to bunt?

[Frayed Knot]

What a waste of a lead-off four-pitch walk

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Losers.

Terry bunts late, Jerry bunted early and often. I don't like it either but at least Willie didn't hit into a DP. The bunt attempts by Pagan on Sunday (down 1, no one, runner on first) really bugged me.

Agreed. Maybe he'll walk the next guy. Maybe he'll groove one just to get one over.

Let's send Tejada back to Buffalo for a week or two.

A really bad 24 hours for Tejada.

It was 1-0 on a fastball in the dirt. Keep the pressure on the guy. Don't give yourself up.

Re-sign Reyes NOW!

And get him a hamstring transplant!

I've been away... do the Mets have any good pinch-hitters on their bench who can lead off the inning?

Mike Baxter, perhaps?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Toe Lee pinch hitting

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Thanks for coming.

Can you believe we only get a tie in this series.

They're saying the same thing over at the Colbert Caucus.

Unfortunate play in the field and uninspiring day at the plate for most of the Mets today.

We managed to have a good time, hanging with LWFS and metfairy (+mk) as well as a drive-by beering courtesy of the inimitable Steve J. Rogers.

[Guest themetfairy]

Yes Steve - thanks for the beer!
