IGT 7/7/13 - Sunday Sausagefest - NYM @ MIL

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Lucroy connects to halve the lead. 2-1 Mets, end of seven.

[Zvon]

Hef holds on after giving up a gopher to Lucroy.
2-1 Mets.
More runs please.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't like how this game is starting to smell.
Out-hitting them 10-2, yet we essentially had to be handed the two runs we did get and through it all are sitting with just a slim lead with [crossout:2pjg9lvd]six[/crossout:2pjg9lvd] five Milwaukee outs to go.

Lotsa Schaefer for Hef and Eyebrows...

[Frayed Knot]

Parnell in for the four-out close-out where he'll have to go through the meat of the Brewer lineup - albeit one without Braun and (at least for the moment) Aramis Ramirez.

Get this out Bobby!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

There's one.

Time for a little insurance.

[Zvon]

GJ Parnell. Now start focusing in the 9th. I either want a real fast half and get Bobby back out there, or a real long inning where we score a dozen runs.

[Frayed Knot]

I guess since Axford is no longer the closer he no longer gets to keep all his funky facial hair.

I disapprove of the use of my image to
denote strikeouts. I never struck out!

[Zvon]

Parnell, 3 outs. Thats all we need. The Brewers sucks ass. This is like a gimme save. Take it.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have had a ton of first-pitch ground-outs, including some that were GiDPs, immediately following base-hits today.
One of the frustrating reasons why this is just a one-run game even though the Brews have just one hit out of the infield.

[Zvon]

One out.

[Zvon]

TWO. LETS GO BOBBY!

Ha! Good point.

The ol' pitcharound. Weeks shall fall.

MEATY SAUSAGES FOR ALL

[Zvon]

THREE! Great job Parnell! Great job Hefner!

[Frayed Knot]

A sub-3:00, UN-interrupted game!!! I think that's the first for the Mets in like a month.


Surprised to see Weeks swinging 2-0 there ... but I'll take it.

After watching these three games, a Brewer doing something fundamentally sound would be a surprise.

Funny observation by Gary Cohen: Satin had a better batting average in the minor leagues than stealing average --- .303 to .296.

I missed, quite literally, every bit of this game, thanks to the combined FIOS/WPIX two-holey I take every weekend.

Having said that, a nap and a trip to the park pool isn't the worst substitute for Mets baseball. And if you care to dispute this point, well, you know what? Fuck you.
