    Cool. I usually squat this IGT. I salute you for jumping in there.

    "Wait ... I ordered ten thousand green bulbs for our stores. Not ten million! Who the hell needs ten million green bulbs?! .... What do you mean my name is on the order slip?! ... OK, think, Bob! ... We can still make this work for us!"

    No doubt. It's certainly no win if he goes the other way and things still go south. The problem to me is that he seemingly went against his own sensibilities, right or wrong, and deferred to the wishes of the player assuring him he was up to the task. No leader wants to allow himself to do that. And no leader wants to do that and have it backfire. As it is, Terry seemingly still kicks himself for letting Santana finish the no-hitter.

    I dunno. There were more than a few of those steals where he had no chance.

    Tired. Disoriented.

    Yeah, man. Embarrassment is for the birds. And not the Birds either. The only baseball fans that should be embarrassed are ones that use their fandom as an excuse to be the colossal jerks that they are anyhow. But since part of being a jerk is being un-self-aware and immune to embarrassment, it is also acceptable for those sitting near them to feel a little empathetic embarrassment. You root for a team. Good for you. Be proud if they're the champs. Be proud if they're getting their ass beat out of the British Fourth Division by Accrington Stanley.

    We're OK with not walking Perez to set up the double play with Gordon, right?

    Good year foruming. Thanks all for contributing. Nice to see boomerang posters: Soupcan, rottblatt, Piggies' Tomatoes, Second Spitter, Batty31, et al. I hope you stick around. LWFS's post telling halfhearted woundlickers to buck up or get out may have been ultimately futile, but I think it still qualifies as the post of the year. Thanks for believin'.

    Chad Ochoseis wrote: I sure hope not, at least regarding Harvey. Leaving him in was the right move (or non-move). He didn't appear to be tiring, even after the walk. Sometimes the right move doesn't work. It's easy enough to say, "It's your ball, but you get one baserunner, and then I'm coming to get you." If he does that, Harvey feels he got his chance, that his fate was left in his own hands, and he gets to walk off to the thundering cheers of a still largely positive crowd. Familia enters in that environment with his fate still in his own hands, not with the somebody else's tying-run baserunner on second and no outs, and the energy leaking out of the crowd. Beyond whether it's the right move or not, Terry's got to live with it being the move he allowed himself to be talked into by the athlete.

    Whether it's in the official narrative (and I suspect it's going to be) or just in the narrative in Terry's head, is that Terry twice backed down before the hubris of one of his athletes, and the team paid badly. That's gonna be tough to live with. If pride doesn't always come before a fall, it certainly did last night.

    Good work in this thread, folks.

    El Segundo Escupidor wrote: Abuse your closer in the early rounds of the playoffs, pay the price later. Much as I could argue with Terry's bullpen usage, I don't think this particular choice is what did the team in. I mean, wasn't Familia pitching well to the last? Sunk to blown-save purgatory, sure, but mostly by dinks and doinks and errors and being brought into emergencies not of his making. Familia's main disgrace, the Game One homer, wasn't on Terry at all, at least not in that way. It was just a poorly executed pitch that was attempted while trying a trick play � a quick pitch. That he resorted to that suggested to me his confidence wasn't where it should have been � in his stuff � and so he put his faith in knavery instead. And perhaps that lack of confidence can be placed in part on Collins. I totally believe this team was capable of winning. Just not capable, so much, of dominating. That's for next year.

    ... so you can see three more runs score.

    Guys, stick it out.

    You bring in Niese, you stay with Niese, mon.

    Make 'em pay, Laggy. Make payments happen.

    If you were told at the beginning of the season that you could be down three games to one in the World Series, with the score tied in the bottom of the tenth at home, with Yoenis Cespedes on your team somehow, but in the clubhouse with a busted up knee, and Mejia suspended for a million days, and diplomatic relations restored with Cuba, and water discovered on Mars... YOU'D TAKE IT, YOU UNGRATEFUL WRETCHES!!
  21. Edgy MD
    I'll take that to the bank. Top the order.

    "Kelly Johnson comign to the plate. He can hit the big fly with the best of them." He can? OK!

    Kansas City saving their closer for the save opportunity that is NEVER GOING TO COME.
  24. Edgy MD
    Blown saves? Blow on that.

    Gird your loins and get back in the breach, folks. It's still the Mets' game to win.
