Open Thread - Game 106: Mets vs Marlins

I know this isn’t Mets/Baseball related at all but…..did anyone else see the Wolverine trailer?

I nerded out like crazy. haha.

Another gamethread. At least for a few minutes before ducking out for a run.

Close close.

I’m actually glad he popped out there, since he really should have been punched out the pitch before. I would have felt dirty if the Mets had been beneficiaries of umpire incompetence.

Schneider’s back out there. Would have been a pity to get any production from the catcher spot on two consecutive days.

The guy who walked actually struck out.

oh, it’s Bucknor. ugh

At least he’s been terrible for both Maine and Nolasco. If we’re going to have a shitty umpire, at least he should be shitty for both teams.

All this guy does is hit extra-base hits nowadays.

That one just kept carrying over Ross. Is it me, or do the Marlins’ CFs always get caught playing too shallow? I remember Amezaga always had that problem, too.

A triple? Thanks Marlins

and thank you Easley!

I hope the Marlins announcers are pissed. Because I hate them.

Thanks for making me look stupid again and again.

all of the excitement!

GO METS!

glad to be back aboard. no pics tonight (i’m at work and it would bring down the entire system)

If he grounds into a DP I’ll be pissed.

What needs to happen for that to come to pass?

I don’t watch many Marlins games, so I’m kinda surprised to see them swinging like crazy. Every pitch, they’re swinging from the heels. There’s just no plate discipline on this team.

it’s time to turn on the charm now. lets get on base and steal some or lets hit a bomb

for nothing

How come the Marlins fans boo Delgado? Did they forget he chose to sign with them, and it was their cheapskate owner who shipped him out of town?

Was that a blown hit-and-run?

Delgado ran? Why???

I see everything is going according to schedule . . . Tatis hitting extra-base hits . . . Easley hitting triples . . . Delgado trying to steal . . . just another day at the office, I guess.

Had Reyes jogged after that ball, the papers and WFAN would be howling until November.

Eckstein wouldn’t have been thrown out at 3rd.

*slack-jawed*

They were pretty good too, guys. That lineup was pretty stacked (even Juan Pierre was good back then).

Good job, Damion. It clears Schneider.

Schneider sucks so much!

Is Keith aware that sweat is water weight, and thus easily replaced? Sweating doesn’t keep you in shape.

“He is just a disaster isn’t he?”

Ahhh.

Dan Uggla wearing a glove in the field is like anyone bringing an accordion to a war. It’s utterly useless.

“The New York Mets television will be talking about the guy who made three errors in the All-Star Game, not the guy who is third in the league in fielding percentage.”
-FSN Florida

FIELDING PERCENTAGE!

He’s looking pretty sick right now. John Maine is not going to have much margin for error.

-FSN Florida

trying to feel up that blonde chick? He seemed awfully insistent on pulling her into that hug.

Maine needed a few more warm-ups, methinks.

I didn’t see that one coming.

Actually, I did.

Look at Maine’s face.

Maine’s not pleased.

Not Muniz. NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Way to steal the souveneir, David

That looked gone.

My heart stopped for a sec there

still thinking yesterday’s complete game was so terrible?

I thought that was gone, too.

Why does Muniz have to come into the game every time the pitcher leaves in the fifth inning, regardless of the score?

THE SCORE, DUMMY, NOT THE INNING!

I think my answer is going to be “Relief Pitching”.

The Braves have finally said they are looking to deal him.

is just a machine right now.

The Mets are winning 2-1, but I don’t feel so good about this game.

Fucktard.

Carlos Muniz sucks at pitching AND fielding.

Did Muniz just give up on that, or is he hurt?

This Bucknor strike zone is killing me. Also, Muniz is killing me.

CB Bucknor licks my __ __ after I’ve __ a ____.

in this situation is truly Randolphian in its stupidity.

I believe he is actually blind.

That’s about three appearances worth of outs for Muniz.

Just . . . quality. All around quality.

Again and again and again….

Is not a good defensive catcher. What a waste of player.

ON A PITCH THAT WAS A STRIKE ANYWAY!

You both suck. Yes, you do

I’m pouring the classic whiskey and soda over here.

Did Jerry and Fredi make some sort of crazy bet to see who could pull their starter for the stupider reason?

Just going from strength-to-strength here.

so say the Florider guys

Removed for precautionary reasons.

Way to get a walk, but why is he even on the team? He’s not a natural OF, and since he’s riding the bench, he’d be better served going back to Binghamton and continuing to learn to play left.

He’s a good hitter, knows how to handle lefties.

—Keith Hernandez

I don’t know what Jerry was thinking here, but thank god Suckder is out of the game.

Now, come on Mets!

A big crowd by Florida standards. How sad.

Like half the hits on B!T (my blog) are accounted for by the terms “Mike Piazza steroids” and “Jose Reyes kids” or “Jose Reyes wife.”

Sanchez.

Well, at least Boston and the Yankees are getting shelled tonight, because once again, the Rays couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat. Geez, can they trade for Dunn already?

Oh Gary. He would have bounced right off that guy.

Because he is huge.

Ring him up.

Their collective ability to call the game reminds me of the climax of “The Naked Gun”. Although at least Frank Drebin had some style calling balls and strikes

Nice play D and Dub!

What a play by Wright and Delgado

Nicely done.

nice pick, Carlos

nice inning, Filthy

Do I think Manuel had a lot to do with the turnaround? Not really. Do I love blaming everything on Randolph? Yes.

Heads up play there by Dub.

Heads up, Dub!

Oh man.

MARLINS ANNOUNCERS EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.

PLEASE!!!!

Beltran fails in the clutch again with this IBB.

Walk the guy who’s cold and unlucky, to face the red-hot extra-base hit machine. Makes perfect sense

Shitty defense, hooooooo!!!

Always comes through.

The Marlins couldn’t catch the clap in a whore house.

The (Third) Greatest Fielder in the League (in Fielding Percentage).

This is just great. Fuckin’ Uggla.

The only broadcast team to actually drive fans away from the sum total of a ballclub’s products (im convinced) needs its own religion. Nay, deserves its own faith.

Sacraments shall include:
” the hammer”
“how smooth is Ugla”
Mulrooni

They know nothing about baseball, but they do know how to get me as angry as I can be.

will I have any followers?

And…

as the guy who had balls bouncing off his chin in the nationally televised all star baseball program i took in a few weeks back.

Just a shade too late.

But at least he’s not Willie Randolph.

This is the game right here, and Billy Wagner should be pitching.

Man, our pen sucks

Jerry overmanaged this game tonight.

we’re set up for a triple play

losing to the marlins is like. something.

I’m calling it.
