IGT 8/21/2012 Rockies @ Mets: Sigh, Young

[Zvon]

Valde has a set, huh?

[Frayed Knot]

If he slides in feet-first there Keith he would have been out. The "terrible" slide was the only thing that got him in there.

Keith can get a bit unglued on stuff that doesn't adhere to his orthodoxy.

Exactly. Even on the slo-mo replay, that much was obvious. Still an ugly slide, but he was right to do it.

Here, have that run back, we didn't really need it.

Fucking bullpen. I long for the days of Mel Rojas.

[seawolf17]

I love when Keith goes off the rails because he's disgusted with the game, but it's pathetic that it's only a three-run game and he's pretty confident that this thing is over and he's already mentally checked out.

[Frayed Knot]

That might have been the first time the Rox hit one right at one of our guys tonight.
'Bout time after all the cheesy hits they've rung up.

Now if only I had some confidence that our offense could take advantage of that break.

[Edgy MD]

I don't care if we did have Cy Young. Two runs per night ain't gonna cut it.

If he's going to be inaccurate, I'd rather that he be funny or be quiet. And speaking of checking out... where's Ronnie this week? Traveling?

I'd ask whether it was pointless to double-switch when he could have just pinch-hit with Hairston later, but, well... I'm done with wondering why Collins did the stupid/wasteful thing, and have come around to accepting that he'll just tend toward that instead of the other thing.

Just fuckin' pathetic.
Facing what might be the worst pitching staff in all baseball and they have, what, maybe six hard hit balls in two games?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

What a perfectly Metly sixth run.

[Edgy MD]

They're not exactly being picky about what they swing at, neither.

Good a time as any for that winning streak to begin. Steve Henderson, I call on you now in my darkest hour.

[Frayed Knot]

The only team hitting worse than us this week is Colorado.
The difference is that we're handing them the game and they're just opportunistic enough to take it as well as, let's face it, more than a bit lucky.

I don't want to seem unMetly in my ways, not following this game, but this is the sort of aggravation I can do without in my life atm.

[Edgy MD]

Ike Davis, first-pitch swinging.

[Fman99]

I watched the entire game. Do I get something?

YES!
A magic wand that can be used to fulfill all FK's wishes

You just got an anal probe without lubrication. What else do you want?

[Ceetar]

The rest of my world has made the Mets look competent though. i should've gone.

[ashie62]
