IGT 5/14/13 Mets @ Irate Avians

[Ceetar]

"...or as bad as you look when you're losing."

One of these days the Mets will win another game. No time like the present.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I gotta say, as shitty as they look, and as much as they deserve to lose, they're a better team than they've shown this year, I just know it! Go you stinky Mets including your crappy new center fielder!!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

So much for Ike Davis, Professional Cleanup Hitter:

Turner � SS
Murphy � 2B
Wright � 3B
Buck � C
Duda � LF
Byrd � RF
Davis � 1B
Lagares � CF
Gee � RHP

Terry Collins sticks to his guns.

"Hey, can you hold these guns for me? They're not working."

[Edgy MD]

Gotta get Duda into that cleanup crack. He was born for it. It was born for him.

Cardinal call up SP John Gast has been no joke at AAA 1.30 ERA

[Edgy MD]

In a poetical and just world, the Ankiel would be in center for the Cards, and John Jay would play for New York.

[G-Fafif]

Let's?

[Edgy MD]

PROCEED!

That interview with Red was great. He's still sharp as a tack.

Our Red Ks to start the game. I'm gonna put that down as a wasted at bat.

I'm getting the Cardinal feed. Who was interviewed? Schoendeist? Garrett? Richie Cunningham?

[Edgy MD]

Can we come up with infield rotations where bases are generally covered, more or less?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Sigh. Turner sets up wrong on the 3-6-3, Ike throws poorly, Holliday and Craig smack hits, the Mets throw the ball around, 3-0 in the blink of an eye.

Schoendeist (wasn't gonna try and spell it). He looked as old as the planet.

Kieth asked him some great questions about what he thought of him when he first came up, and then later when he was an established player.

This game is already a joke, huh?

[ashie62]

3-0 first...so what else is new...

[Zvon]

Okay, Gee, if you can get thru 6 more innings and hold em to 3 I got a mug with your name on it.

[Edgy MD]

Zvon wrote: This game is already a joke, huh?

No, but few things gut my gourd like players advancing to uncovered bases, and now we see it twice in two games.

I sometimes put myself to sleep imagining rotations and who is covering where and who is backing up. With nine defenders, there's usually enough players to cover four bases, and certainly enough to cover the lead one.

[Edgy MD]

Redbird announcers telling a story of a young Keith Hernandez pinch hitting and when Schoendeist wanted to send him back out for defense in the top of the next inning, found Hernandez in the shower. He chased Hernandez out of the shower and sent him out there untowelled to play first, shampoo still in his hair.

A teammate-skills faux pas of Jordanian proportions.

Damn, I wish they touched on that during that interview earlier.

[Frayed Knot]

Is Gee going to get yanked or reach the 100 pitch mark by the 4th inning? Or maybe both.

It would also be nice if the Cards would actually hit a ball AT a fielder every once in a while.

Both.

And the Redbyrds refuse to hit the ball right at our fielders.

6-0

[Frayed Knot]

And yet another piece o shit bouncer which finds a hole ... and now ANOTHER one!!!!

Not that it matters seeing as how we've got an infield hit off a guy making his ML debut (and I don't think any of the outs have left the infield either) but, geez, except for Holliday's hit they're not exactly smacking the ball off the walls here.

[Zvon]

Turner gets his glove on one (a sharply hit liner) to mercifully end that inning.

I don't see any way your getting any beer Gee, even if we come back. Course, if you pitch 4 or 5 more innings and we win, then.....ha, not gonna happen. Just teasin ya.

[Fman99]

Suck suck suckity suck suck suckums

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Dillon, why don't you try putting the leadoff man on one of these innings?
And then if you enjoy that you might want to fall behind in the count a few times, y'know, just to see how it feels.

[Zvon]

I am not gonna appear in a page two post until the Mets score. I'll be on page one.
*click*send*doh!

[Frayed Knot]

And the man with the leadoff double has yet to move and doesn't score.
I've seen this movie already and I know how it ends.

If this was a movie, I'd agree with you. But this is baseball. I know that its the Mets playing and that could negate the fact that in baseball, anything could happen, but still, anything could happen.

OE: damn, I posted.
