IGT Monday May 21 Mets at Bucco's

[Fman99]

Johan vs. Erik Bedard. I like our chances. David Wright owns these guys.

"these guys" roughly defined as everybody that puts on a non-Mets uniform lately.

Andrew McCutchen is baseball's hottest player. If May ended yesterday, he'd win the Player of the Month Award.

But if the whole season ended yesterday, I'd give Wright the MVP.

It must be Pittsburgh...

[Edgy MD]

Love the crappy little camera Andy has.

[Ceetar]

Looks like we're probably getting Vinny Rottino back for this series. Probably at Schwinden's expense I'd imagine.

I recognize that picture of Rottino.

[Edgy MD]

I've never eaten at Bucco's. Is it good?

Speaking of places where you want to watch your step... Bedard pitches around Wright with two outs (walk on five pitches).

Nothing comes of it, save for a slight run-up of Bedard's pitch count (21 after 1); the key to beating them tonight might be getting him tired early.

[metirish]

Vinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny!

[metirish]

Cedano drives one to the gap in the outfield and Rottino scores from 1st.......good base running too.

[nymr83]

Walking Torres to load the bases probably won't help you have a long night as a pitcher.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Bedard's dancing around the zone. The Mets have him if they want him.

[metirish]

4 zip Mets as Wright comes through , just wanted to say the the skyline as seen the few times from behind the plate looks absolutely beautiful.

[nymr83]

Santana Striking out the side!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Johan in control through 6 (when he's not giving up doubles).

Davis switched in at first for defense... with Rottino moving to left. He's a defensive upgrade over Hairston?

[nymr83]

After being sat out to avoid a lefty, Ike faces their lefty-specialist! Outmanaged, Terry! (Yeah it was a defensive replacement but I'd have waited)

[Frayed Knot]

Oh joy! Now this game becomes a battle of the bullpens.

[Fman99]

Big whiff there for Parnell. Let's get this last out, Lefty.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If you're betting on the pitching-changes O/U, then I feel bad for you. Also, I hope you have the over.

I'd also like to point out that Terry's bringing in Byrdak for a lefty who hits righties to the tune of a .304 OBP and .717 OPS.

[Fman99]

Fuck yeah. How good has Byrdak been this year?

[Fman99]

Cedeno slides into first and is out.

I'd like to point out that Fboy put the ball in play twice tonight in his Little League game and ran through first base both times. He's seven years old.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

What, no squeeze? Terry, you had your Buntz specialist up there and everything.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That's some SERIOUS respect for Baxter, innit?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

HIndsight and all, but sending Baxter with a guy on third might not have been a bad idea.

And whither Murphy there, for Torres or Nickeas?

OE: Ronnie and Gary agree.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, Whitestone.

That's a pretty costly blown bunny, there.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

They couldn't tag Resop, or Wilson, or the other guy. I don't see this happening.

[Edgy MD]

Come on. Don't quit against Hamrahan.
