IGT 6/3/12 - Cardinals at Mets

[Fman99]

Fuck yeah. Torres with the gun.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice toss from Torres, tag from Thole to nail that runner at the plate!

[Frayed Knot]

Torres/Thole keeping the triple shut-out streak going.

[Zvon]

Freese out at the plate! Woot!

Thnx guys, re:KBs. I'll have to make new ones for the new guys.

STFU Francona " boy if the Mets get Bay back and he produces like we know he can, wow, boy, talking about a leader in the middle of the order, one of the great guys in the game yyybbb"

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I know the pen is well-rested, but I'm sure I want to trust it with this lead tonight.

So does Kirk ride the pine when Bay comes back?
Kirk to right, Duda to first and Ike to get his head together in Buffalo?

Well, we're going to see the pen next inning for the first time since last Wednesday ... and last Wednesday the pen melted down big time.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Missed the Thole more than I thought I'd miss the Thole.

Well, that's what Bay was when Francona managed him.
Unfortunately that kind of play doesn't seem to appear for all managers named Terry.

[metirish]

Yep, sounded like Francona was oblivious to the Bay we have seen.

[Frayed Knot]

What reliever is it you want to see? .... FREEMAN

Incorrect and false. Olerud specifically wanted to go to Seattle.

yep, wanted to go cos of the great coffee system they have up there.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Kirk with an RBI. saying he'll make it hard as possible to make him ride the pine.

[Frayed Knot]

NEW-HOUSE, NEW-HOUSE, NEW-HOUSE



btw, that was his first HR since April 20

Actually, my recollection was that it was because of his young daughter's serious medical condition.

Torres says he's not gonna ride the pine when bay comes back, either. Nice triple!

[metirish]

Torres with a triple......great game to watch...

[Frayed Knot]

1-out RBI hits ... what a concept!!

Good questions.
We gotta give Bay a lil time to see if he can get himself goin, just cause he is paid to be our left fielder. If he can't then he sits, np by me. I prefer Kirk to Torres in center (& Torres just smacks a triple, lol).

Ikes problems could work into this scenario, and maybe to the teams benefit. But bottom line is we need Ike doing what we know he can do.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm enjoying this game so much, I haven't muted it.

Doofy celebration injuries aside... just a great, great weekend.

By the time the daughter was born he was already in Seattle.
Mainly his stated reason for the decision was just about being near the family.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Parnell, y'know what's NOT a good idea? - Leadoff walks, that's what!

[Zvon]

6-0

No way our pen can give this game back...right?
Right?
Okay, lets try and relax.

Oly preferred Seattle for sure, but left the door open, even if slightly. So why did the Mets offer him less money than Seattle had already offered him? They didn't even try.

[Zvon]

1976 was the last time the Mets had 3 shutouts in a row?
Wow.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Re the ESPN Bay talk -- is anyone here clamoring for Bay's return?

Not I. Not the Bay we have had in Queens.
