[John]

I think he bounces back. He's had probably the worst start he's ever had.....I think he's gonna look good today.

[Chris in Ga]

Hey, not going to b around today. Check out the barajas walkoff celebration. It looks like gmjr was going to fight someone who slapped him on the head. I can't tell who it was but gmjr looked deranged. I'm on my phone so I can't link ya but it is on mets.com

[Dep]

from AA


SNY only showed it for a second, but after the celebratory pile at homeplate broke up, Gary Matthews pulled Fernando Tatis aside and started smacking him, while Francoeur looked on and laughed:

[John]

im assuming its blanco today?

[Dep]

i think gmjr looked deranged cuz he was smiling so big. we ain't used to that! lol

looks like 100% funnin' 'round to me

[Dep]

im assuming its blanco today?

[John]

[Dep]

[John]

[Dep]

haha nice

12 pitches

[Future]

Panda looks lost.

[Dave Magadan]

are the guns broke in citifield? Really 89? Morning yall

[Dep]

i love that keith cant stop calling him fat

and i love he's a switch hitter, it just amuses me for some reason

[John]

perez vs linecum doesnt look good lol

[SoCal Metfan]

LGM

[Dep]

are the guns broke in citifield? Really 89? Morning yall

naw that was real

he hit 90 a few times to panda

[John]

i love that keith cant stop calling him fat

and i love he's a switch hitter, it just amuses me for some reason

lol he's trying to say it in a nice way at least haha

[John]

No. Johan has been around this all season long I believe lol

[Dep]

lol john "packing some extra groceries around with him"

[Dep]

nice angel

lets go louie

bunt away jerry! you poof

[Future]

Good AB Pagan!

[Dave Magadan]

Panda looks like he can needs a cheesesteak just to maintain in between games...

[SoCal Metfan]

Atta boy Angel, way to start us off.

[Dave Magadan]

Panda looks like he can needs a cheesesteak just to maintain in between games...

This isnt even english.lol

[John]

I love the fact that Fox got rid of the Sat afternoon blackouts.

No reason I shouldnt be able to watch if the game isnt on FOX.

[Dep]

for anyone that wants to bask in ike's glory

[SoCal Metfan]

If Jer has Luis bunt I'm gonna go postal.

[John]

Don't bunt lol....ahhh its useless

[Dep]

no bunt so far.

with lefty louie i dont even care. advancing the runner is almost as good as you can hope for

or him getting beaned!

WP! yay

[Future]

What the heck, let that hit you Louis.

[Dep]

LOL jerry cant resist now!

WALK HIM

[John]

This pitcher isnt even close.......i hate giving outs away when he's struggling

[Dep]

that was ball 4 bah

[Future]

WTF WHY ARE YOU BUNTING BALL 4!!! You are a retard.

[DL]

lol if johan loses to this guy...

at least moyer was just warming up for his shutout last night

[SoCal Metfan]

3-1 bunt? W. T. F?

[John]

yes lol

[Dep]

hahahahah, there ya go! no harm

LETS GO JOSE

[Future]

LOL, just made him throw one more pitch.

Or something.

[DL]

the 3-1 bunt with pagan already in scoring position, interesting

[SoCal Metfan]

Was that Luis going crazy, or was that bunt called. Either way, that was effing motarded.

[Dep]

come onnnnnn

we gotta cash this in

[SoCal Metfan]

Mercy strike call there

[Dep]

yargh

come on j-bay

[Future]

That's kind of like a productive out. Ugh Jose.

[DL]

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

cmon bay

[SoCal Metfan]

Semi-productive out....horay?

[Future]

If that fake to third go to first move would work with anyone it would work with Pagan.

[SoCal Metfan]

C'mon Bay! Crush one please.

[Dep]

good job bay, a double would've been cooler though

come on davey

[John]

productive outs FTW lol

[Future]

We could seriously be walking around the diamond right now but we don't want to. We want to swing.

[DL]

he still blows

[SoCal Metfan]

I'll take it.

[lucienlc]

i love that keith cant stop calling him fat

and i love he's a switch hitter, it just amuses me for some reason

He is fat. I just said the same to my husband.

I was going to go to the game, but I'm still nursing an eye condition and have to keep soaking it. And we're going out with the in-laws for Mothers Day around 5, so it's just as well.

[Future]

LOL, an .813 OBP against Wellemeyer.

[Dave Magadan]

Keith is in rare form today.hahahaha

[Dep]

i'm not saying he ain't fat! its just funny that keith has said something about it maybe 4 times already this series.

hope your eye feels better

[Dave Magadan]

We could seriously be walking around the diamond right now but we don't want to. We want to swing.

That would take all the fun out of the game then...

[Future]

Winning is the best fun.

[John]

this guy is slower then trachsel

[Dep]

bahhhhhhh

813 OBP going downnnnnnnnn

[Future]

Wow DW. Not good.

[SoCal Metfan]

That would take all the fun out of the game then...

I don't like your idea of "fun". :)

[CatchDog]

David is opening up too soon. The ball's getting past him.

[DL]

david sucks again?

[SoCal Metfan]

Don't get me wrong, I know DW is still hitting well overall, but how is he missing 90mph fastballs? Not even fouling 'em off, just *missing*.

[Dave Magadan]

this guy is slower then trachsel

Trachsel...remember when he got scared I mean hurt his leg in the playoffs a few years back. Good times.

[Dave Magadan]

He used to crush that first pitch fastball that blew by him at 90mph

[Future]

He foul tipped that one.

Catch, you're absolutely right. No way he should be getting beat by those.

[Dep]

nice play bay

[SoCal Metfan]

Trachsel...remember when he got scared I mean hurt his leg in the playoffs a few years back. Good times.

I hate harshing on the guy for that. He got hurt and it's not like he was lighting it up anyway, if he can't pitch, "gutting it out" or some macho sh** would have only hurt the team.

[Future]

What did Bay do?

[lucienlc]

lol better win today

perez vs linecum doesnt look good lol

Perez against anyone wouldn't look good tomorrow. It's supposed to be in the mid-50s and VERY windy (like 40 mph windy). As we found out a week or two ago,
Perez doesn't want any part of those kind of conditions. It's a pity they can't flip-flop him with Maine, who apparently does okay in the wind.

For Lincecum, it'll probably be just like pitching in SF.

[Dep]

played it bare hand off the wall

[John]

Actually if u think about it with Maine or Perez we prob lose against Linecum.........so maybe we wanna take our chances with perez going and then have maine to start the next series.

[CatchDog]

Catch, you're absolutely right. No way he should be getting beat by those.

Davey looks like his front shoulder is flying open too soon. That throws off everything, including his timing.

[Future]

Nice. Even though it was Benjie and he would have been held to a single anyway.

[Dep]

yea future, likely. the ball had some spin, i guess ya never know if he botched it and it spun away maybe fat-ass (MET AT HEART) molina would have gone for it lololol

[SoCal Metfan]

I was just looking at Molina's stats recently. Did you know he has 3 career SBs? How embarrassing for the catcher he ran on. That's gotta be the ultimate humiliation as a catcher.

[Dep]

yay

[Future]

Good job Johan!

[SoCal Metfan]

YoYo!

[Future]

I was just looking at Molina's stats recently. Did you know he has 3 career SBs? How embarrassing for the catcher he ran on. That's gotta be the ultimate humiliation as a catcher.

Likely, it was a botched hit and run, swing and miss and the pitch went to the back stop.

[SoCal Metfan]

Likely, it was a botched hit and run, swing and miss and the pitch went to the back stop.

Molina's so slow, I'd still be surprised if he got a base out of that. :)

[Future]

bs strike.

[Dep]

yay ike! nice eye

[John]

davis >>>> wright

[SoCal Metfan]

Ike's plate discipline as a rook is pretty spectacular.

[Dep]

come on french one. stop stinking

[CatchDog]

The GiAnts are skurred of Ike.

[Future]

Frenchy, please take pitches.

[Future]

Of course he swings at the first one.

[John]

he was doing so well......why all of a sudden is he swinging like crazy again lol

[SoCal Metfan]

Dear Frenchy,

Wellenmeyer has thrown more balls than strikes...please don't swing at everything. Thanks.

Your pal,
SoCal

[DL]

lol stop swinging

[Dep]

haha, there's a take!

::throws confetti::

[Dep]

plunked!

COME ON HANK WHITE

be rod-like

[DL]

LOL

[Future]

Good job Frenchy. I know you wanted to swing at it!

[SoCal Metfan]

Good job Frenchy! Way to get onbase!

[CatchDog]

KaDink !

Damn near took the "F" right outta Frenchy.

[Future]

LoL. Hank White.

[Dep]

hank,

rod takes full swings!

[CatchDog]

Mex : Fashion Police.

[Future]

He is swinging at everything too. Besides the first pitch meatball.

[Dep]

haha, angel loves us

[Future]

Fuck you Angel.

[John]

we want rod back lol

[SoCal Metfan]

Good job Frenchy. I know you wanted to swing at it!

It's funny, because it's true.

[DL]

bah

[Future]

He went but how much you want to bet that later a Giant will go around and he won't call them out right at the plate.

[SoCal Metfan]

Here we go Johan get yourself a cushion.

[DL]

wtf

[SoCal Metfan]

Well, good bunt at least.

[SoCal Metfan]

I actually like Pagan in this spot, he's been showing good plate discipline.

[Future]

Stop swinging at shit! Does anyone on this team have a nice swing? Sheesh.

[Dep]

ANGEL!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

HUGE HIT

TRIPLE!

[CatchDog]

SWEET !!!

Pagan's a triple machine.

[Future]

PAGAN!!! TRIPLE!

[SoCal Metfan]

Angel!

[DL]

yes!

[John]

that dude never should have dove........he never had a shot at that lol

[SoCal Metfan]

Stop swinging at shit! Does anyone on this team have a nice swing? Sheesh.

Yes.

[Future]

That DeRosa dive was awful.

[lucienlc]

Good job by Pagan. At the moment, I'd rather see him in an RBI situation than Bay or Wright.

[Dep]

oh mannnnnnn

lefty louie line drive WOBBED

[Future]

Damn, Luis just got robbed. File a police report Luis!

[lucienlc]

That DeRosa dive was awful.

The dive itself was lovely. Problem is, he didn't have a prayer of it actually accomplishing anything.

[Dep]

we really needed that angel triple

we were on pace to have 20 runners and get no-hit lol

[lucienlc]

Yes, Luis struck that one better than anything last night -- and had nothing to show for it.

[lucienlc]

Now, c'mon, YoYo -- hold the lead!!!

[Dep]

the ball was getting past him anyway, the dive possibly cost a triple versus a double but both runs were scoring anyways

maybe he just felt like diving lol

[Dave Magadan]

Unlucky Louie. Derosa's dive made me laugh.

[JohnInNewJersey]

The dive itself was lovely. Problem is, he didn't have a prayer of it actually accomplishing anything.

It was like a kid at a public pool doing a belly flop for no reason but fun.

[DL]

johan seriously needs to hold this against this lineup

[John]

the ball was getting past him anyway, the dive possibly cost a triple versus a double but both runs were scoring anyways

maybe he just felt like diving lol

True but he could have saved himself the humiliation of the dive lol

[Dep]

johan needs to be manly

[Dave Magadan]

WIth the way Wellemeyer's pitching we should tack on a few more before the fifth. Oh Ralphs voice is so soothing...love when talks about players like Satchel Page and Lefty Grove.

[John]

91

[Dep]

True but he could have saved himself the humiliation of the dive lol

lol tru tru

maybe he was trying to crush a bee that's been bothering him in LF

[DL]

wtf finish this dude off

[John]

lol tru tru

maybe he was trying to crush a bee that's been bothering him in LF

lol It reminded me of watching a little league game where kids just dive to be diving haha

[DL]

christ

[Dep]

mehhhhh 11 pitches n that

that pushed yoyo to like 39

[Dave Magadan]

"I hit a 500 foot homerun once off of Hank AAron once in a 23 inning game to end it"

[Future]

Ugh, why waste so many pitches if you were going to get bored and throw him a meatball?

[SoCal Metfan]

I remember when Johan could get guys to swing and miss. :(

[DL]

oh come on

[Dep]

lol It reminded me of watching a little league game where kids just dive to be diving haha

lol

byrnes is going to dive every play in the softball league, even on balls not hit to him!

[Dave Magadan]

3k's for Wilmer last night yikes...

[Dep]

3k's for Wilmer last night yikes...

boo, the guy savannah faced was dealing

reese n kirk had good games

[DL]

what the hell

[Dep]

hahaha, that was awful todd

[Future]

Hahaha. Wellemeyer pulled a Louis. Tried bunting at a ball.

[Dave Magadan]

Captain Kirk went 2-5 with a homer triple and 3 rbis. De la Torre gave up 3 runs and couldnt get anyone out.

[Future]

DP! Woo!

[John]

yoyo needed that one lol

[lucienlc]

Nice!!!

[CatchDog]

Atta boy.

[Dep]

yeaaa i saw de la torre stunk, oops. parnell was decent i think

DP!!! YOYO THE MAN!

[Dep]

46pc

like 20 in that inning, damn that first guy

[SoCal Metfan]

Woot. Ok, gotta jet, hopefully will be back for the later innings. LGM!

[DL]

lol

good thing this lineup can't really hurt johan that much if he's not top notch

[Dave Magadan]

boo, the guy savannah faced was dealing

reese n kirk had good games

Reese needs to stay healthy. F!'s been rather quiet. Hoping he tears it up soon. We may need a CF next year.

[lucienlc]

Captain Kirk went 2-5 with a homer triple and 3 rbis. De la Torre gave up 3 runs and couldnt get anyone out.

The pen wasted a nice pitching effort by Antonini.

[Future]

LOL, I told you guys about how I believe mlbtv has a bias against us right? Good highlight = takes forever to go up bad highlight= goes up immediately?

That Uribe liner went up within 3 minutes. Last night Rod's walk-off took 25 minutes.

[Dep]

F! and TOLL-E are both doing awful

it'll change

[John]

Kunz 4ip 2 runs 2 hits 2 walks 2 k's

not bad for kunz lol

[Future]

Blose.

[Dep]

what was the GB/FB?

his start b4 was the best of his career

[DL]

jeez jose

no one was even on base for him to suck

[Future]

Look at Bay all cute making first pitch outs.

[DL]

lol are we gonna go dead the rest of the day

[CatchDog]

Molina'a out and the Racist is catching.

Maybe you were on to something Dep; Bengie went for a cheesesteak !

[Dep]

we have 1 hit

not sure we've been alive at all today lol

[John]

so far kunz 4 gb 3 fb and 2k

[lucienlc]

LOL, I told you guys about how I believe mlbtv has a bias against us right? Good highlight = takes forever to go up bad highlight= goes up immediately?

That Uribe liner went up within 3 minutes. Last night Rod's walk-off took 25 minutes.

It's not just mlbtv (though I agree with you). It's ESPN and FOX and national sports media generally. They all suck up to the Yankees, and they don't want to be accused of a NY bias, so they bend over backwards to crap on the Mets.

[DL]

lol true

but now this dude is throwing some strikes

[Future]

OBP going back up!

[Dep]

Molina'a out and the Racist is catching.

Maybe you were on to something Dep; Bengie went for a cheesesteak !

LOL!

wow he did come out, guess he couldn't bear facing the mets

[lucienlc]

So, who thinks CC Sabathia is going to throw at Red Sox players today?

[Dep]

so far kunz 4 gb 3 fb and 2k

thanks

the start b4, the great one, it was like 1GB/8FB lol

[DL]

maybe beckett just sucks and wasn't throwing at guys

[Dep]

So, who thinks CC Sabathia is going to throw at Red Sox players today?

indeed

[Future]

JFC Angel.

[John]

Do they record live drives in Minors?

if you pitch 4 innings = 12 outs..........so how could his line be 2 K's 4gb and 3fb? lol

[Dep]

i dont think beckett was doing it on purpose, but there will be payback

[Dep]

Do they record live drives in Minors?

if you pitch 4 innings = 12 outs..........so how could his line be 2 K's 4gb and 3fb? lol

dp's?

[DL]

lol i was joking

who knows

beckett does suck. good thing he was taken off the market before we could make another mistake

[DL]

lol o's are "battering" francisco liriano right now

[John]

dp's?

hmm makes sense

[John]

if its dp's he's had 3 in four innings lol

[John]

god davis sucks now lol

[CatchDog]

Good at bat by Ike.

[Dep]

also john, any CS or pickoff or anything outside the realm of normal outs

[DL]

blehhhhhhhhhhh

[John]

lol @ us having 3 runs on a hit

[Dep]

god davis sucks now lol

BAN!

[John]

also john, any CS or pickoff or anything outside the realm of normal outs

ahhh yes good call.

[John]

The day that I declare victory and we end up losing you can ban me :)

[lucienlc]

maybe beckett just sucks and wasn't throwing at guys

I'm not sure he was (at least wrt Jeter). But CC was really POed about it last night, apparently. I think it'd be stupid for him to go headhunting, but who knows.

[Dep]

The day that I declare victory and we end up losing you can ban me :)

lol. deal!

[John]

keith says they are offensively challenge

next batter..........HIT lol

[Future]

Yay for defensive positioning and then them hitting the ball right at the spot vacated.

[Dep]

bahhhhh that sucks

perfectly placed, lucky

[Future]

Terrible communication.

[Future]

I will say that it was probably uncatchable but Frenchy had a terrible jump on that.

[Dep]

frenchy was nowhere close to that ball lol

UZR dropping!

[Dep]

fun factoid of the day:

in a 2010 small sample, castillo has a positive UZR

[Future]

Works like a bunt.

[Future]

frenchy was nowhere close to that ball lol

UZR dropping!

He wasn't hustling, I guess he believed Luis would catch it.

[peejay]

The yankees have beanball wars with almost every team now. I do think that Beckett was just the sux last night.

Autocorrect on my phone makes yankees into tankers

[lucienlc]

Yay for defensive positioning and then them hitting the ball right at the spot vacated.

One of Jerry's specialties. We were talking about this last night.

[Future]

Nice meatball Johan.

[DL]

damnit

[Future]

Have no idea why you throw that pitch to Huff. Right down Broadway.

[Dep]

fuddddddddddddddddge

[Future]

Fuck.

[DL]

were those hits sure shots or bitch hits

[DL]

maaan

[John]

castillo UZR of 0.6

Defensive Runs Saved exactly 0 lol

[Future]

What a terrible pitch. Why is Johan just throwing meatballs?

[John]

now kiner is dissing the weight lol

[Dep]

2 of the hits were bitch hits, one was legit

come on bats, wake up

[lucienlc]

The yankees have beanball wars with almost every team now. I do think that Beckett was just the sux last night.

Autocorrect on my phone makes yankees into tankers

LOL at FOX warning (per Sweeney on FAN) that if the Yankee-Red Sox game goes past 7:30, they are switching everyone over to NASCAR. Everyone.
(FX will pick up the rest of the bb game)

That sucked, YoYo. You better have a better second half.

[Dep]

castillo UZR of 0.6

Defensive Runs Saved exactly 0 lol

we'll take average!

his fielding is actually driving his WAR value right now LOL

[CatchDog]

LOL at Ralph saying Panda's AT LEAST 40 lbs over weight.

I'll bet he drives a Tundra...

[lucienlc]

castillo UZR of 0.6

Defensive Runs Saved exactly 0 lol

In all fairness, after last night's game, regardless of UZR, you'd have to say he saved at least one for sure.

[Dave Magadan]

Thats how the Giants score. Not much power just scrap a few hits and let their pitching do the rest.

[DL]

lol we're gonna have to fucking start hitting

pretty pitiful to give up runs like that to this lineup regardless

2nd half pitcher or something :rolleyes:

[Dave Magadan]

I'm about 10-15 lbs overweight. I need to start running.lol

[John]

haha yeah well u knew that batting number from last yr wouldnt hold lol

-1.7
-0.2
-2.8
5.0
-1.1

which number is different then the others lol

[Future]

LOL. Frenchy.

[Dep]

lol john hmmmmmmmm

[Future]

We have always owned this guy.

[DL]

great now wellemeyer isn't throwing 90% balls

how the hell are we gonna score now

[John]

hank white

[Future]

There you go Hank White. 2 hits!

[lucienlc]

We were batting .462 against him in our last three games. You wouldn't know it from this game.

Nice, Blanco.
