IGT 5/18/13 Mets at Cubs

[Fman99]

Hefner vs Feldman. Let's keep the dream alive.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

3 well pitched games in a row, and Muffy is determined to extract all his mates out of a slump with him. I like our chances vs. this Feldman felow.

It's like there's a Billy Crystal routine in there somewhere.
Feldman? That's not the name of a guy who'll pitch you a great ballgame, that's the name of the guy who does your taxes. You can't say; "oooh chuck it in there now, Feldman; give him the high hard one, Feldman. It just doesn't fit"

[ashie62]

Feldman had 17 wins with Texas in 2009. Beyond that he has 48 career wins in this his 9th MLB season and a lifetime 4.69 era...

Gary notes that the Mets are 0-8 in the game after Harvey starts this season. That ends TODAY.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ike strands yet another runner in scoring position with a fly too short to score Murphy, and Duda ends the inning with a fly out to the wall.

That must be the tenth time this season where reversing the second and third outs in an inning would have produced a run (and yes, I know you can't anticipate that sort of thing, but it seems to happen a lot).

[Zvon]

Ha. Castro sucks.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

What's Castro's favorite pizza? TWO BOOTS! Wocka wocka!!!

Not that the Mets take advantage.

The first time I ever cut school was to see that Met/Cub (clincher) game in '73. Walked right past my school and headed to Macys on Queens Blvd., where I watched the game in the TV dept on a color TV ( had a B&W TV at the time). The TV salesman, who I truthfully told why I was there, hung out and watched the game with me. Great times.

[Zvon]

DAMN! Messy run down. You see Muffy? That was funny but I won't laugh (he did like a cartoon double take). Good try by all, just minus the "out".

[Guest vtmet]

I guess Terry sticking with the same lineup 3 days in a row (even with 2 victories in a row) was just a little too much to ask for...he probably even changes the way that he makes coffee every other day, just for the hell of it...

I dunno, you don't fuck around with coffee.

Muffy is hotter than July. Another hit.

[Zvon]

Danny boy is hot, but not fast. Keith cracks me up sometimes.

Ugh, I stepped off with bases loaded and no out. Thought maybe if I wasn't watching they would get out of it. I'll try anything. Looks like they didn't.

Hef was doing fine, but he has lost it this inning.
4-0 lilbears

[Zvon]

Holy shit. Carson, 7 HRs allowed in 9 innings. Yikerama.
5-0

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ike may need more than a wake up call. He may need a tow truck to pull his head out of his ass.

[Edgy MD]

Seven homers in nine innings for Carson. That's just a terrible score, Edward.

lolIKE.

[Zvon]

That's a wasted at bat Justin. Which I suppose isn't as bad as wasting an afternoon watching this game.

[Zvon]

Wow. What a great DP started with the diving catch by Tejeda. Didn't think Muff would be able to get that second out. Very nice.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Wow. Double play of the year. Tejada dives to his right and makes a perfect feed, Murph hangs in with the runner on top of him and delivers a strike to Ike.

[Zvon]

Ankiel!
