Mets 7, Pirates 2: The Animal Is Out Of The Cage
by Eric Simon on Aug 20, 2010 10:56 PM EDT
Email
PrintMike Pelfrey allowed two runs on six hits in eight innings. Chris Carter went 2-for-4 with a home run and an RBI single while David Wright and Jose Reyes each went 3-for-5 with two runs scored. All told, the offense exploded for 15 hits and seven runs -- a week's worth in both cases -- en route to a 7-2 victory over the Pirates.
Poem by Howard Megdal
Runs were once scarce; now scored in a torrent
No matter that Pirate pitching is abhorrent
Fifteen hits laced, Mets put up seven
Strangely, for one night, Pittsburgh equaled heaven

Manuel: Expects Bay to be out for season
… not that it really matters at this point. Anybody, supposedly the Mets were not happy with his comments.

What's the point in rushing him back anyway? This season is over. Play the young guys and see what we got.
In fact, I can’t wait to see Dillon Gee come up…
Story here.
Jerry is running his mouth again, he should learn to shut up. He said Bay is done for the year and tehn had to back peddle and say there is now a chance he may return.

“it appears he’s recovering nicely”
yeah except for the part where he’s still suffering from symptoms to the extent that he can’t partake in any physical activity.
i love this team so much.

Don't you just love a manager
who is really in touch with what is going on with his team. He certainly has his finger on the pulse of this team :-)

lmao I just read the article about Bay
I love that the reason they’re ruling him out for the season isn’t precaution due to suffering a major head trauma…it’s that they don’t think he’ll be ready in time to get a rehab stint in before the minor league season ends.
really, the onion couldn’t make these things up.

this has got to be the smallest game thread ever
i bet it still beat the average metsblog gamethread
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
Good game tonight
Glad Carter did well. Maybe now he will see more playing time.
That idiot we call a manager
I love these quotes from Jerry:
“What has happened is we haven’t hit enough to let [Martinez and Ruben Tejada] evolve,” manager Jerry Manuel said. “It’s difficult to run them out there when we’re not scoring runs. There’s still somewhat of a thought that because they are young players, we should get them involved to a degree, but not to a degree that it hinders us from winning games.”
Could it be we don’t score any runs because of the crappy starters you keep playing, or maybe your managing? Seriously, if you keep running Francoeur out there every day is your solution to scoring runs, I think you need to be fired.

I went to a broadway show.
We won, but The Addams Family still looks better than Mets vs. Pirates.
Consequences will never be the same.
There's a joke in there somewhere

Close, but Lurch actually spoke normal, it was just DEEP VOICE.
And I fucking called it. I knew the link you posted would take me to that video.

Well, what else out there in the world
approximates to a singing Lurch? And is one of the greatest movies ever? Not many, I’d imagine…

I think if Carter had started every game the last 2 months
this team would have about 6 more wins. I have nothing factual to base that on, I admit. But the dude can hit when given more than 1 at bat. I hear he is second in win probability added after Wright (per a Rubin post earlier). And his D isn’t as atrocious as everyone thought.
6 more wins sounds like a lot
but I think at least some of the losses wouldn’t have been as frustrating
mediocrity thy name is Wilpon- jdon
Nothing like your starter puking in the tunnel between innings and
having your staff push you to 8 innings. Great part on their job of pushing players to try and justifiy “job security”. Kinda reminds me of last year the trainers not really checking Niese with his hamstring and making him throw a pitch until he collapesed. Next thing you know Razor Shines will be push Bay out on a wheel chair and dump him in LF.
so sad
the Pirates = three wrungs down from the Mess….
so where was the LOLoffense for the whole month of August, July?
"Fantasy, reality, science Fiction. Which is which? Who can tell?"
I think I saw more "In play, run(s)"
and “In Play, no out” during this game than I’ve seen in the past month.
I thought GameDay was literally broken in the first.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.

I lost power 3 times last night and spent most of the evening at a vegetarian pool party, but sheesh man. They finally have a good night and that’s all AA could put up? Damn.
