lovely

Runaway Train never coming back

[Dep]

dont forget what you said last nite DL! you wont freak out till pitch 40 on the 1st or something haha

[Dep]

yay for timmy n wifey

disappointed child not named Dep

[DL]

i say lots of things

[Dep]

hahaha, nice louie

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Castillo slugging pct rising, rising.

[Chris in Ga]

LUIS!

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Pagan with the Doc Brown type glasses, nice.

[Chris in Ga]

Best Luis has run in 2 years. He will be hobbled by the end of today

[CatchDog]

Nice to know this pitcher for the Doyers was a Rule V pickup by the Mets this offseason.

We grabbed him and then sold him to LA for a Klondike Bar.

[Dep]

damn, i thought that was gone

[Chris in Ga]

Almost

[Dep]

ha, did not know that

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Damn does Dodger Stadium play large. Or is it just for us?

[CatchDog]

Damn; On-Hill almost jack that.

[DL]

more pitches for pagan there than we saw in each inning last night

[Chris in Ga]

lol

[Dep]

blah

PELF TIME!!!!

I'm going under too!

[Dep]

dodger stadium is generally known as a pitcher's park

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

17 pitches for Pelf in the 1st.

Mets score twice in top of the 1st.

2nd half of my prediction, blah. If you add Pagan's and Wright's hits together you get 2 runs.

[Chris in Ga]

We drafted the dude for the Dodgers, who paid us some money to do so

[DL]

dave blows right now

he won't be good again until mid august at least

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

dodger stadium is generally known as a pitcher's park

Don't tell Kirk Gibson that.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Pelf already eating his glove, nice.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

WTF Jose?

[Dep]

hmmmm did jose not see that or something

[DL]

ugh

[Dep]

are you kidding

guess we're making up for the awesome D last nite

[Chris in Ga]

Glad we showed up

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Yeah this helps Pelf, the picture of unflappability.

[DL]

LOL

[Dep]

the over looking like the smart play so far haha

[CatchDog]

We drafted the dude for the Dodgers, who paid us some money to do so

Why? So the dude can beat us today? Was he not good enough for our staff?

That just doesn't make any sense.

[DL]

this is going well

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

What a lousy fucking inning already.

[DL]

LOL, fuck this

[Chris in Ga]

Why? So the dude can beat us today? Was he not good enough for our staff?

That just doesn't make any sense.

It's how the rule 5 draft works. You have to be willing to carry a dude throughout the year on the 25 man and he would have to be put on the 40 man. The Dodgers were worried someone would pick him up so they offered the Mets few $$$ to get him for them.

[CatchDog]

At least we've got Eric Karros doing commentary instead of that wingnut Kevin Millar.

[littlefallsmets]

Fuck this, I'm takin' a nap.

[Dep]

ok, that's 2

the under can still pay out!

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Hit ground balls next inning, let's see if it's just the Mets with problems with the ball off the bat.

[Chris in Ga]

WINNNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dep]

haha, i was convinced davey was throwing that away. we'll take it

17

[John]

thats ok


we still got this


lets go mets

[DL]

we still can't hit for shit

dw slumping = DOOOOMED

[CatchDog]

Gotcha Chris. Thanks. I'm just thinking that a guy like this will probably pwn us yet Omar's gonna let Eddie Kunz rot away on the 40. So typical.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

17 pitches for Pelf in the 1st.

Mets score twice in top of the 1st.

I got the 17 pitches exactly.

[Chris in Ga]

John Maine's surgery was done by the Phillies team doc. Scar tissue in the shoulder, assorted other damage. Ready by spring.

Before the jokes start, Our Doctors worked on Utley

[Chris in Ga]

Gotcha Chris. Thanks. I'm just thinking that a guy like this will probably pwn us yet Omar's gonna let Eddie Kunz rot away on the 40. So typical.

I dont think we would of taken anyone had we not had the deal in place.

[CatchDog]

Who worked on Ollie? Dr. Ruth ???

[Dep]

I got the 17 pitches exactly.

yes you did, nice call

too bad you effed it up by thinking we'd score too! ;)

[Dep]

chris think maine is a met in 2011?

[Chris in Ga]

Who worked on Ollie? Dr. Ruth ???

.

[Chris in Ga]

chris think maine is a met in 2011?

Nope. I still dont think he'll comeback. James Baldwinitis

[Dep]

haha, bay heating up

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Bay is back, just in time for the rest of the team to stop.

[Chris in Ga]

Bay for gays

[Dep]

Nope. I still dont think he'll comeback. James Baldwinitis

yea, that certainly seems likely. thanks.

[Chris in Ga]

I take blame for no offense the first two innings. no wildcat cuties que'd up

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Garrett Anderson = GMJr.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Why is Brad Ausmus still playing?

[John]

Saw inception today



was really good stuff

[DL]

we better not be starting a new scoreless streak, cause it sure feels like we are

[Dep]

jose!

[Dep]

haha, jose you so crazy

[Chris in Ga]

Go Reyes. Come on Pagan

[John]

even when luis makes an out he does something well

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

They talked about the Mets using their running game earlier in the inning and now they're blasting them for it. Make up your god damn mind.

[John]

Karros is killing jose lol

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Pagan is definitely losing playing time to Frenchy now.

[DL]

damn this

[John]

I know.

And he was like its better to be on 2nd with no risk then 3rd with risk.............you have to take chances at times lol

[Dep]

i thought it was kind of silly, but he could always balk or throw a WP so its not like its the exact same as being on 2nd

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Ubaldo putting lots of guys on base so far in Philly. I might make him available in the Geek league.

[Dep]

Ike DP!

[DL]

ubaldo sux right now too

[John]

i thought it was kind of silly, but he could always balk or throw a WP so its not like its the exact same as being on 2nd

There was this thing.......like there's 10 (not sure the exact number but around there) ways to score from 3rd instead of 2nd lol. Shit I forget now lol

[Chris in Ga]

Ubaldo putting lots of guys on base so far in Philly. I might make him available in the Geek league.

I don't need pitching

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

i thought it was kind of silly, but he could always balk or throw a WP so its not like its the exact same as being on 2nd

Or hurry a bad throw across the diamond, you never know. It doesn't matter, Angel doesn't have the football style aggressiveness to drive him in anyway.

[John]

It was kinda silly tho lol

[John]

Pelf still getting hit lol

[Chris in Ga]

Damn, I sat Kemp for Beltran

[DL]

oh come on

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

There was this thing.......like there's 10 (not sure the exact number but around there) ways to score from 3rd instead of 2nd lol. Shit I forget now lol

single, double, triple, home run, balk, wild pitch, passed ball, stolen base, sac fly, fielder's choice, error, walk.

[DL]

LOL ubaldo

[John]

single, double, triple, home run, balk, wild pitch, passed ball, stolen base, sac fly, fielder's choice, error, walk.

ahhh
I had that wrong then lol

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

ahhh
I had that wrong then lol

Unless you count the single through home run as a hit.

[DL]

ubaldo is garbage

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

ahhh
I had that wrong then lol

And it's based on how many other runners are on base too.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

ubaldo is garbage

Nah, he'll avoid getting tagged with L somehow.

[Dep]

balk!

come on tron

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

David should have tried to steal third there too.

[Dep]

ok, come on mr. ike

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Bunt Ike!

[Dep]

come on bay

time to go bombay

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Christ, when was the last time a non-Bay player got a good hit with RISP?

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Fuck it, bunt Bay too.

[CatchDog]

I dont think we would of taken anyone had we not had the deal in place.

To me, that's just crazy.

The Rule V is predicated on the the "worse to first" order, much like the draft. So the Mets had the opportunity to pick up a decent player at #7, yet they failed to. I'd like to see where some of those players are today.

We know where one is...

[John]

BAY IS BACK

[Dep]

bayyyyyy. RISP hit with no R

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Oh crap, I don't feel good about Rod in this situation. Switch out for Thole.

[DL]

damn it

now we aren't scoring for sure

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Hahaha, only team with no GS.

[Squadron Nye]

oh man roddy rod gonna shit the bed here

[John]

no buck and mccarver lol

[Dep]

great AB rod

[Chris in Ga]

LOL Barajas

[John]

u saw that one coming lol

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Wow, you fucking suck Rod.

[Squadron Nye]

horribly predictable

[DL]

fuck this

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Lean into it Pelf.

[Squadron Nye]

at least we cleared rod

[Chris in Ga]

Pelf needed to get hit

[DL]

need a WP here

[Danny]

Limp Rod

[CatchDog]

Pelf hangin tough

[DL]

gotta love how this is gonna be our one big opportunity

[Dep]

bahhhhhhhhhhh

[Chris in Ga]

ARGH! Glad Barajas is in there again. It's time to cut him

[DL]

well, we basically lost this game

[John]

shit

[Dep]

ruh roh

[DL]

god fucking damnit

[John]

he needs an out pitch

[Dep]

nice pitch mikey

[DL]

it really doesn't matter

we can't fucking score runs

[Chris in Ga]

I'm glad we were beaten by that horrible decision.

[DL]

LOL

[CatchDog]

Great. Brad Awful.

Just brilliant.

[DL]

that's the game, unfortunately

i wanna keep hoping this is just an epically bad stretch, but maybe this team really is this horrible

[Danny]

Barajas has a sub 500 OPS over the last 2 months. That's hard to do.

[CatchDog]

Karros just ripping Jerry's strategy. LOL !!

[Dep]

Karros is better than Tim's team or Millar, but he's driving me crazy too. he beats thing to death and then some. you can just say it 1x eric!

[CatchDog]

And Kenny Albert looks like he's just one chromosome short from being a complete fuckin mongoloid.

"I like Bananas"

[Dep]

And Kenny Albert looks like he's just one chromosome short from being a complete fuckin mongoloid.

"I like Bananas"

he does! he has like a lazy eye or something, its creepy

[CatchDog]

If Reyes bunt went forward, it would have been to the warning track.

[Danny]

Kenny prefers to bite his bitches in the front

[DL]

this guy hasn't started a game in over a month, we should be pummeling him right now

[CatchDog]

he does! he has like a lazy eye or something, its creepy

Well, that just does it for me.

BWAHAHAHAHA !

[Future]

Hey peeps. Just checking in from Comic-Con.

[Dep]

there's such a funny pic of kenny albert, i cant find it tho...

[DL]

kershaw tomorrow? cool another shutout

[DL]

single, single, single, single

can we get a fucking extra base hit?

[CatchDog]

Tiny giraffes on pillows?

All Right Sir.

[Dep]

hahaha, i liked the little giraffe

[DL]

5 shutout innings for this guy

[CatchDog]

That was some weird shit.

[littlefallsmets]

So, nap didn't help anything.

Pelfrey's pitching... not as bad but nothing to write home about and the Mets seem to have gotten on base a bajillion times without scoring.

Wonderful.

[DL]

way to fucking put him away pelf

2 wins on this fucking road trip

[John]

what a play luis showed good range on that one lol

[Dep]

ok, lets try again

[littlefallsmets]

Dear Mets: you're getting owned as fuck by a rookie spot-starter.

[John]

we always get pwned by rookie starters......even when we are good lol

[Dep]

took long enough:

[Dep]

Ike! ok, how do we not score here!? come on boys

time for bombay

[CatchDog]

Rosenthal looks like he changed hair color from Kiwi Cordovan to Black.

Makes sense. Of course, he stands on the shoe box.

Pat Sajak knockoff is barely knee high to a wiffle dick.

[CatchDog]

took long enough:



All that's missing is cock in mouth.

[Dep]

uh oh rod-time

come onnnnnn

[Dep]

All that's missing is cock in mouth.

its invisible!

[Chris in Ga]

LOL Big Rod

[Squadron Nye]

Ike! ok, how do we not score here!? come on boys

time for bombay

I think we have your answer

[Chris in Ga]

gotta pray he walks or gets hit

[Dep]

i was going to predict the walk to set up rod-fail but didnt want ta!

[Squadron Nye]

oh man 4 innings for this bullpen? I rather take my chances with pelf

[Dep]

rod should have jumped into that

[Chris in Ga]

Rick Honeycutt lives down the road from here in Cohutta, GA

[Dep]

RODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD !!!!!!!!

ok

[Danny]

lol @ Brajas getting a big hit

[Squadron Nye]

omfg am i having an acid relapse or did roddy actually get a hit

[Dep]

pitch #2 is literally in the batter's head on gameday haha

[Chris in Ga]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

On right, U of A all american Brittany Lastrapes

[CatchDog]

We'll take that.

[DL]

would have been much bigger BEFORE

i would keep pelf in

[Dep]

^ lol

[Dep]

come onnnnn frenchy

[DL]

ugh

come on frenchy

[Dep]

that was only a foot inside, good eye jeff

[Squadron Nye]

jerry burned carter for frenchy?!?!?!?! d'oh

[Chris in Ga]

Frenchy. Ha!

[Squadron Nye]

rosenthal just said the O word

[Chris in Ga]

lol

[Dep]

hahahaa nice, we got lucky

[CatchDog]

Smart base running by Bay.

[DL]

LOL, not this shit again

[Dep]

rod to the DL! play thole!

[Chris in Ga]

Rod hurt

[CatchDog]

Karros needs to shut the fuck up now. Time to pod his mike down.

ALL. THE. WAY.

[Dep]

COME ON JOSE

[DL]

lol i don't think hank can take consecutive games at his age

[DL]

i'm not going to say what i'm sensing is coming up

[CatchDog]

FILL OUT THOSE DISABLED LIST PAPERS NOW !!!!!!!

IT'S BARAJAS WITH "1" R

[Squadron Nye]

Karros needs to shut the fuck up now. Time to pod his mike down.

ALL. THE. WAY.

he's just keeping the long tradition of irritating fox color commentators alive

[Dep]

JOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

tie game!

[Squadron Nye]

i love you josey

[CatchDog]

JOE SEY !!

[Chris in Ga]

Caitlin Lowe!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dep]

lmao @ jose n razor

[DL]

good job jose, i was sure of a lineout dp there

[John]

luis is gonna break this open

GS LUIS

[DL]

i don't think ubaldo is weaseling out of an L today

fucking phillies are BACK

[CatchDog]

Even our rally is uninspired. Station 2 station baseball.

I'm not being ungrateful but could someone split the gap please?

Heh --Castillo's up. The squeeze is on !

[Dep]

luis is gonna break this open

GS LUIS

lol

[John]

bahahahahahahaha

Castillo in the 2 hole = MASSIVE FAIL

[CatchDog]

Fuckin A.

[DL]

jesus fucking christ

[John]

u just have to laugh cause really the other option is to cry lol

[DL]

i thought he never swung at the first pitch, wtf is that?

and yes, that's going to come back and hurt us AS USUAL

[Ramon Suarez]

Hence, the problem of Castillo hitting in the 2 spot.

[littlefallsmets]

There's the Castle I remember.

[John]

i thought he never swung at the first pitch, wtf is that?

and yes, that's going to come back and hurt us AS USUAL

He was planning a surprise attack lol

[Ramon Suarez]

I'd rather have Tejada at this point.

[John]

I'd rather have Tejada at this point.

lol

[Ramon Suarez]

Tejada and Thole should be playing the majority of games at their respective positions.

[littlefallsmets]

I'd rather have Tejada at this point.

quoted for truth

[Chris in Ga]

All Mexicans throwing in the mets pen

[Chris in Ga]

Tejada needs the minors. I'm sorry, I disagree. He needs to shorten his swing, something that a 20 year old shouldnt be doing in the MLB.

[John]

Tejada needs the minors. I'm sorry, I disagree. He needs to shorten his swing, something that a 20 year old shouldnt be doing in the MLB.

:)

[CatchDog]

WoW. He was safe.

[John]

good inning raul

[CatchDog]

All Mexicans throwing in the mets pen

And on the hill.

[Chris in Ga]

And on the hill.

Valdes is Cubano

[littlefallsmets]

But, dammit, he would do significantly less bad things than Castle!

Okay, maybe he'd also do less of the occasional good things but he'd do so many fewer of the truly awful things.

[Chris in Ga]

I've seen this guy this yr in Chattanooga. He throws gas

[DL]

great, this guy is gonna pwn us

[CatchDog]

Valdes is Cubano

Ok right. But has played his career in the Mexican League.

[John]

the wright K chart is on the upswing again lol

[CatchDog]

The right field stands are calling you Tron.

Do it !

[Chris in Ga]

Gooden has been found. At a scheduled autograph signing in Cooperstown NY.

[DL]

3/4/5 completely pwned

louie fucking ruined any shot we had at winning this one

[John]

3/4/5 completely pwned

louie fucking ruined any shot we had at winning this one

smh

[DL]

well he did

unless you somehow think we can win a battle of the pens

[John]

We can still win this

[John]

Lius FTW today

just watch

he will make up for the DP

[DL]

only thing that's saving us right now is how putrid the dodgers appear to be as well

[John]

After we take 3 of 4 from them we'll be all set lol

[DL]

well kuo and broxton now for the dodgers, while we give up a run somewhere

cool

[John]

umm that was cute lol

[John]

keep the faith

[DL]

why should we have faith? b/c we win so many games like this?

[Chris in Ga]

R. Barajas -C -NYM: Barajas diagnosed with strained right oblique
Day to Day

[DL]

our tied late in the game record is absolutely terrible. it's not likely we win this one
