IGT 08/11 - ARZ @ NYM - Win One For the Kids, Dammit!

[Guest cooby]

At least they're playing Black Dog. Earlier it was See You In September

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

WTF? It was 4-0 when I went down the hall to talk to someone, and now it's 9-0? Did Niese give up a grannie or something?

Jon Niese is the Pirates' Manchurian Candidate.

No, Niese would never do anything like that.
Did serve up a bases-loaded triple though.

prematurely shutting them down hurts 2017.

[bmfc1]

Does it? Gives extra time to remove those bone spurs.

[Frayed Knot]

Fewer pitches for this Shipley guy thru 7 innings than Noah needed just to get thru 4.




I'm going to continue to come up with comparisons such as these until I can't possibly feel any more shitty about this game than I already do.

[MFS62]

Now THAT's the Niese I remember.
Try as I could to erase those memories from my mind, I couldn't.
Believe me.
I tried.

At least TJ got into the game.
C'mon, Homey, hit a 10 run homer and we can all go home happy.

Later

[Fman99]

Fboy and I almost drove down for this one. That'd be a long ride home.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets clearly hate the kids.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Ev-ree-bah-dee-crap-yo-pants!
(sorry, this game gave me additional brain damage)

[Frayed Knot]

Good thing we started our defensive catcher today or else there might have been a lot of stolen bases and shit.

[Guest d'Kong76]

He had a passed ball too, not that that matters down by three field goals...

Luckily that's taken care of

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

When do some these injured guys start coming back? Reyes started rehab with the Cyclones today, right? Is Cespedes too far off? I'm assuming Cabrera at least a month out.

Reyes will be back soon but he's not a difference maker. neither is Cabrera. Cespedes will obviously help if he is in fact ready in another 8 or so days but probably not enough if Conforto and d'Arnaud are both going to be disasters while everyone else, minus Walker and Granderson who are merely good, is lucky to be average.

[ashie62]

We're shot. Get Noah and Matz checked out.

Too much ill will to keep Cespedes.

We need a catcher and a

A NEW GM AND MANAGER TO REBUILD THIS MESS.

Importantly, if you still want to watch these bums keep the remote closby!

P.S. DFA Reyes, just because.

This is obvious.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Over the years we've joked about the kids having to leave these games
early because the bus is waiting and it's time to keep on schedule. The kids
ran out of the stadium to go sit in a buses with no air conditioning about 45
minutes ago.

[Lefty Specialist]

At least I didn't have to see this shitshow.

Gamecast even said: in play, (stop watching)

[Guest d'Kong76]

Rally-cap time! Two men on, no one out in the ninth.
Odds of a double play? 6-5.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know this game is also the spiritual descendant of the MoFo picnic game - Thursday afternoon game, second week of August ... although not quite as hot today.



Not a good thing that our best offensive output of this series came in the game vs Greinke.

[Frayed Knot]

Odds of a hit w/RiSP: 1 in 35

[Lefty Specialist]

So, who's getting fired tonight?

My money's on Kevin Long.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'd fire Collins tonight just because. Let Wally ride out 2016.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Kevin Long doesn't seem to be living up to his genius reputation.

I'd like to see him replaced with Ted Williams' frozen head.

I retract my statement, just watched Terry flip out at post-game presser.
