[ashie62]

The Mets face another pitcher they are seeing for the first time. Brad Peacock is a St.Peters Peacock also.



And the Mets counter with a nut.

Brad Peacock: Both his first and last name are valid Scrabble words.

Same is true of Angel Pagan.

Yup, and Yup.

Atahualpa Severino on the other hand..

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If you're a friend or family member of Atahualpa, what's the nickname you're giving him?

Ata? 'Ually?

Middle init is "O" so you can't even go AO like you could if it was AJ or something.

"Who sez?"

Pelfrey got into trouble in the first, but then got out of it.

The double play is, indeed, the pitcher's best friend.

then finished the inning with two stringing strikes for the out.

of course, gameday suggests a crazy small strikezone, which doesn't bode well for Pelf.

It's bad enough that they're making a ton of errors lately, but have they made any recently that DIDN'T cost them runs?
Up to two un-earned so far and it's only the top of the 3rd

I've felt like that all year. I did a little rsearch a couple of weeks ago of errors->unearned runs and didn't find and real big correlation.

I'm referring mostly to the games just recently.
In the long run stuff like that tends to even out (even though fans always think their team is snake-bitten most often) but the low-scoring close games we've been playing lately definitely makes the E's stand out more.
Besides, I'm mostly just venting.

[Frayed Knot]

Are we allowed to get two-out hits too? ... Guess not.

well, four game losing streak. I imagine those things tend to peak during stretches like that.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, six innings, 25 batters, and the offense has produced 3 dinky singles off a ML debut and the long-man out of the pen.
The sad part is that's practically an improvement.

[Fman99]

Ugh, Mets. No batter, no batter, swing.

[Frayed Knot]

3rd game in a row I'm using this phrase: FUCKING PATHETIC!!


What do we have so far, like 25 pop-ups?

[Frayed Knot]

Mets are 3 for 29 off Tyler Clippard this year.
Any reason to think they'll hit him this time?

[bmfc1]

Terry keeps using the same lineup (with one exception today, Satin) and they don't appear to be concerned about winning. How about playing players that might give a damn, such as Val P. and Baxter?

Didn't even get the ball out of the infield.

Oh good, two Ks an another infield pop-up!
At least next inning we'll have ... oh no wait, that WAS the middle of the order.

[ashie62]

They are just playing out the string not with a bang but a whimper..Pretty Lame..

[bmfc1]

Don't bunt. He's wild. Don't give up an out.

[Frayed Knot]

So whose turn is it to leave these runners on? ... aka: who's due up?

[Frayed Knot]

You gotta be kidding me with this bunt?!?!?!!?

[bmfc1]

FIRE TERRY!

Idiot.

The Nationals color guy said that the Mets are doing the Nats a favor.

[Frayed Knot]

You'd think that 567 poor bunts in a row might start to send a message sooner or later.
I don't like that play EVEN IF THE FUCKING THING WORKS!!! - and the odds of it working are somewhere around the single digit pct area!!

[bmfc1]

FP Santangelo has used the word "break" a dozen times since Turner attempted to bunt.
