IGT Mets & Rays 6/14/12 - Maintaining a stiff upper lip

[Frayed Knot]

Every Rays hitter that inning came down with a bad case of Rauch.

[Lefty Specialist]

Holy crap. Rauch saves the day. Who'da thunk it?

[Guest themetfairy]

Inherited Runners Stranded - my favorite stat!

I guess we are so cliche that it should be no surprise when the booth echos us.

Big redemption inning for rauch there!

That was the yankee-game santana today... I hope we don't see him again!

funny, they played clown music between the last two innings (apparently they were doing a blooper reel thing)

Would like to have seen a run or two there just to remove any notion the Rays might have about coming back in this game.
Four runs is nice, but still to close to hoping. Particularly with this pen.

[Zvon]

Ugh. After that at bat I can't help thinking that Bay just ran into one with his bat for that homer. Hope I'm way wrong.

[Zvon]

Parnell for the 7th.
Show me what ya got Bobby.

[Edgy MD]

John Rauch made me feel... tingly.

[Zvon]

There ya go. K with 96mpheat.
Jennings shakes his head all the way back to the dugout.

[Zvon]

Holy crap! Muffy with the reach!
What a wacky play.

[Ceetar]

Rays going with full Cha-Cha Slide between innings.

also, Parnell for 2 over Batista please. (or score 6 more and Batista for two. or Hefner)

[Zvon]

Hard to describe but..

Pop to shallow right. Murph goes out, Duda in. Duda gives up early like he seems to do a lot, ball looks like its gonna drop in for sure as Daniel slowed...and at the last second he reaches out and snow cones it for the out.

[Edgy MD]

Do it again, Kirk...

My bad.
I should have made 3 Kirkbooms.

[Edgy MD]

[Edgy MD]

Parnell lifted after just 12 pitches. Boo-ness.

[Lefty Specialist]

Byrdak, Bada-boom, bada-bing.

I guess it's Frank-Frank for the 9th since Terry wants to keep him loose.

[Edgy MD]

He loosened up two days ago. Give me Def Hef.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Three hits for David Wright today.

When does Ed Kranepool get Tonya Harding on the phone?

[Edgy MD]

Murphy might get one more chance to join the hit parade here.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Go, Ike.

[Zvon]

I do think Davis has arrived.

Hips still turning a tad early but he's staying back.

[Edgy MD]

But Murph comes up empty.

[Zvon]

And Bay looks like Bay again.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't care if looks like Ernest Borgnine. I want him to hit like Jason Bay. (And by that I mean the one who used to play in Boston. Not sure it's the same guy.)

Probably when he orders a pizza from whatever joint I'm sure she's working at these days.

I agree. Can you imagine how we would do if Bay and Davis both played to their best potential?

Batista bumpin and grindin his way thru the 9th.

[Edgy MD]

Um, who ordered the save situation. I didn't. This waiter sucks.
