IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

[Fman99]

Given Muffie's recent struggles, I'd like to see Satin start taking grounders at 2B. After all no one thought Murphy could play 2B in the majors either, and he's doing a passable job there on defense most nights.

Or, have Young play more at 2B and make room in the OF that way for Satin.

[Fman99]

Wheeler looking shaky in the 5th. Two outs away from putting himself in line for a win and he's loading them up. C'mon, dude, focus.

Young is horrible going back on deep flies. And he knows it.

I don't like what I'm seeing from Wheeler at all. He should be cruisin'.

[Zvon]

OOO, thats a big K.

[Fman99]

Nice work there to get the pop up and K to get out of the 5th. Good stuff.

[Lefty Specialist]

Glad that Wheeler could navigate through 5, but whenever the Mets get into a battle of the bullpens, it's problematic.

Indeed. Let's not be running out the clock, here. Put a few more scores on the board.

[Zvon]

Too many pitches from Zack tonight. But Ill tip my cap to him.

Wow, nice rbi single from Buck.
8-3

[Frayed Knot]

Not sure that second steal was the best strategy.
With Buck lately, a Sac Fly is sometimes the best you can hope for.


And as I'm typing Buck smacks one up the middle.
Cue Emily Lattila

[Zvon]

Aardsmas dazzling socks get the call.

[Frayed Knot]

Niice quiick iinniing froom Aardsma.

[Zvon]

I want that glove for my backyard.

[Zvon]

Ugh. Nice catch.

[Fman99]

Byrd robbed of a dinger there by Carlos Gomez.

[Frayed Knot]

Go-Go Gomez has done that a couple of times this year.
Being fast and 6' 4" with Ups has its advantages.

[Zvon]

Gary: "He looks like he's not even moving at all."

[Zvon]

Ill give Ike some rope. I missed the K last time up. I imagine it was borderline and he hemmed and hawed. How he took that 3-1 fastball this at bat, ill never know. He did rip one after that.

[Zvon]

Ha! Gomez, you're an idiot.

[Frayed Knot]

What's that now, two Milwaukee runners cut down at 3rd and two more at home so far?
Between their running and their defense, they're doing us a bunch of favors tonight.

[Fman99]

Nice hitting by Kirkie and Lagares to get another run. Can you imagine if they hit like this in Flushing?

[Zvon]

Kirk on fire. And Lags drives him in. Sweet.

[Frayed Knot]

Too early to call anybody "cured" at this point, but both Kirk & Ike are looking better since their respective returns from Vegas.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Lourdes Vegas, they're calling it.

[Frayed Knot]

Not sure if Burke and home plate are in the same zip code.

[Zvon]

All these runs and only one extra base hit, Kirks double. Not complaining. Please Brewers, play this shitty all series.

[Frayed Knot]

This game still has the potential to get ugly.

[Zvon]

Shit. What a catch by Wright. That knocks Burke out.
9-5

It would be a lot uglier without the win goggles. Imagine what a Brewers fan is feeling, all full of cheap beer, cheese and regret.

[Zvon]

Young makin things happen.
