IGT 05/13- Metropolitans at Yankees

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ruben continues playing like the Flores call-up scared him good.

[Edgy MD]

Giving me sort of what i was hoping for out of Flores. "Hey, I went to physical fitness camp too!"


OFF THE POLE!!!

[Fman99]

KA-BOOM!

[Frayed Knot]

We just might Wheeler-proof this game yet.

[Guest themetfairy]

There isn't going to be enough Schaefer to go around tonight.

I love nights like this

[Edgy MD]

That was a potential triple decker!!

(You don't think that means they're sending Wheeler back out, do you?)

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I'd be making him clean the clubhouse right about now.

[Frayed Knot]

End of five innings at 9:24 EDT

A quick trip around the league finds that they are:

- in the bottom 8th in Baltimore

- top 8 in Philly (4-3 Angels)

- bottom 8 in Toronto

- top 9 in Cincy

- and just behind our game (mostly in the 4th) are the 8:00 starts

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Between the dugout chat sessions and the budding career year-type production, it kindasorta feels like Abreu's having something of an Obi Wan Isringhausen effect on the team's young lefty hitting talents, don't it?

[Frayed Knot]

... and you gotta be fuckin' kidding me (leadoff walk)!!!

[Gwreck]

How could they put Wheeler back out there?


How could he issue ANOTHER leadoff walk???

[Edgy MD]

How indeed.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

When you're struggling to throw strikes to Alfonso Soriano, it's well past time for a shower.

[Edgy MD]

Um, if that 0-2 pitch wasn't a strike, where was it?

[Edgy MD]

Strikes three and four to Solarte, both called ballz.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I demand Wheeler report to a barber. What the hell kind of beard is that.

[Edgy MD]

They get a call the other way and Girardi goes out and demands an early shower.

Weakest ejection eveh.

[Edgy MD]

Notice the leadership Jeter is showing out there.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't know what Girardi's complaining about, the next called strike to Jeter this week will be the first.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know what really suxx about this long game? .... it's a get-away day.
I hope they sent tomorrow's starter ahead to the next city already.

[Edgy MD]

Well, we're 2/3 of the way.

The trip will be very tiring for Travis d'. Start Recker the next two.

[Edgy MD]

Seats behind the plate starting to look like Citi Field.

Leadoff man walks on four pitches. This is the way we roll.

[ashie62]

The nice part is listening to Kay and crew suffer...

[Frayed Knot]

Dice doing very well to earn the up-for-grabs 'W' in this game.
Hell at this point I'd just let him finish it. It would almost certainly designate him as out for the next two games but you'd save the rest of the pen in the process.

[ashie62]

Recker has pitched before....

[Edgy MD]

We're far from Recker.

[Edgy MD]

Six outs to hold a five-run lead, and it's totally in doubt.
