IGT 9/21/2011: NYM @ STL -- .500 Or Not

[G-Fafif]

First of eight in a row that will prevent the Mets' third consecutive losing season. And to do it, here are the fellows who will take on Jaime Garcia, the starter from the last Mets' victory at Busch Stadium:

Jose Reyes - SS
Angel Pagan - CF
David Wright - 3B
Lucas Duda - RF
Nick Evans - 1B
Willie Harris - LF
Ronny Paulino - C
Justin Turner - 2B
Chris Schwinden - RHP

[G-Fafif]

Win With Schwin!

[G-Fafif]

FYI, the seventh-most recent Mets win at Busch Stadium was Game 4 of the 2006 NLCS.

[Gwreck]

If memory serves, we also swept the season-opening series in St. Louis in 2007, which means we won 3 out of 9 games in St. Louis in the '08-'10 seasons.

Yup. Swept three en route to a 4-0 start and all the division titles we could carry into the new ballpark. Ah, early April 2007...

[Frayed Knot]

It's the 2nd inning and this team has already embarrassed itself several times over.

[ashie62]

At this point does it really matter. They suck..Bay out with a cold?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, does it ever matter?

I don't know who is watching, but whatever career Schwinden has was saved by DJ Willie Harris tonight, making a diving, bases-loaded, two-out catch to stop the Cards from breaking it open after it was already 3-0. The Mets came back and know lead 4-3.

[ashie62]

I did see Josh Satin crush a ball..

[ashie62]

Ron Darling politicing for shorter fences

[Ceetar]

lots of unearneds in this one.

[ashie62]

Hey..I'm just waiting for Ceetar so I can send him to the red light forum once..

[ashie62]

Its a quality start for Scwinden!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I-Go-Schwinden-in-Water makes it through six, which I wouldn't have bet on early. He owes Harris some chocolates.

Of course, Duda and Paulino owe Schwinden some chocolates.

Thank you for correcting me again.

Ceetar..young drunk fat and stupid is no way to go through life..asshole..

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cut it out.

Schwinden is out. Booishness.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, man. Terry's over-playing the matchup game himself.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And if you're scoring at home --- and I hope you are --- Herrera exits after one pitch.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

not.

[bmfc1]

Terry continues to over-manage. I thought that Beato had a tired arm.

[Ceetar]

Oh Beato.. paving the way for a spot in the minors next year..?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two out, nobody on, Wright up, and LaRussa double-switches. For fuck's sake.

Yes. If you're going to play the game it matters how you play.

why do we have two threads?

Because I didn't see the first one






5 of the 6 StL runs today came after two-out and nobody on.

And all 4 of the Mets.

Yup!
We've just given them two innings of that while they've handed (and I do mean handed) us one.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Willie Kaboom Harris.

Send your five defensive replacements after that ball, Tony.

futile of course. maybe he shouldn't have made that catch and we all could've gone to bed early.
