IGT 4/24/2012 MIA @ NYM: Leading Off, Number Seven...

[G-Fafif]

Last time Miami played in Flushing, Dan Marino was a rookie.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wtf Mets

[G-Fafif]

Kirk Nieuwenhuis � CF
Ruben Tejada � SS
Daniel Murphy � 2B
David Wright � 3B
Lucas Duda � RF
Ike Davis � 1B
Mike Baxter � LF
Josh Thole � C
Johan Santana � LHP

[Ceetar]

<-------- I rank as Jose Reyes today. how fitting.

[metirish]

Would like to swap Davis and Thole.

[metirish]

I would hit Thole behind Murphy too....

[Benjamin Grimm]

Days like yesterday make me think, "Ugh! They have to play again tonight?!?"

Not feeling at all motivated to watch.

[Edgy MD]

New team in town. New light. New life. New Mets in uniform. It's gonna be great.

OE: Or, if you're of a mind, Reyes in town means new reasons to bitch. New injuries. New opportunities for Ike to fail. YEAH!

The Mets are undefeated against the Miami Marlins.

Jose Reyes is hitless against the Mets in his career. (although he's 1/4 against Johan)

Sure, and maybe I'll miss a great game. But I can live with that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Weak greeting. But then, there are approximately 300 people in the lower basin.

Stronger response by Nieuwenhuis, there.

[TransMonk]

Well, that was underwhelming. Nice play by Kirk and Johan looks better than he did last time.

[Frayed Knot]

Would somebody please close that damn gate!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Whatever it is in the Met lineup that brings formerly-dominant, currently-struggling pitchers back to vitality, they should bottle. Perhaps the proceeds will help them, y'know, sign some pitching.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Iassogna, Bucknor... this should be a FUN series, umpwise.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So Josh Johnson's all like, "BOO," and Johan's all, "What, what?" And then Johnson's all "Suck it," and Johan's all, "Na-ah, YOU suck it." And Johnson's like, "Oh, yeah, take THAT," and Johan's all, "I eat that for breakfast with cafe con leche, bub."

So what I'm saying is, it's a pitcher's duel.

It begins.

"He tagged him on the hip," says Ron. "Usually, when you tag him on the hip, his foot's getting in there first... [viewing replay] yep."

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR FREEZE-CAM SAYS!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Johan has 10 K through 5.

[TransMonk]

Those MIA unis are still fugly...and these black ones are the best of the bunch.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

11 through 6, with just three baserunners (1 H, 2 BB). Johnson almost as good.

Grimm, friend... you're missing yourself a bawwgame.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I like that Muffy's getting thrown out at home allowed us to get an extra clueless turn at the plate by Davis.

I can't remember the last time a Met looked so lost at the plate. And I've seen a lotta struggling hitters!

[Fman99]

These guys are throwing darts.

[TransMonk]

Nothing but respect for JJ tonight. He and Santana are putting on a pitching clinic.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That slider's just obscene tonight. And Johan's fastball/change mixwork has been almost as nasty.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Get that piece of shit Baxter off the team.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Santana's nuthin' but bad luck. 'Cause whenever he pitches, the Mets can't buy a run.

On another note, it looks like SNY enhanced their ball strike display. It's readable now. I bet lotsa viewers were complaining.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout? Tonight's paid attendance is at least half a million. Met [crossout]slave[/crossout] PR guru Jay Horwitz sez maybe even one million.

[Guest Kong76]

Yeah, Santana picking right up where he left off with the no
run support since joining the Mets.
