Pena's Last Hurrah: Mets 3, Yankees 2

PrintThe New York Mets avoided being swept in the final game of this years Subway Series, defeating the Yankees 3-2.
The Yankees led 2-1 going into the bottom of the 9th, a lead that most would consider insurmountable with Mariano Rivera on the mound. The Mets managed to put together a run, however, and forced the game into extra innings.
After the Yankees stranded a runner on third in the top of the 10th, the Mets ended it in the bottom half.
Luis Ayala walked the lead-off hitter, then hit Justin Turner after Angel Pagan sacrificed. Boone Logan relieved Ayala, and got Carlos Beltran to strike out.
Next up came Daniel Murphy, who hit a slow ground ball to shortstop Ramiro Pena. Pena bobbled the ball, and did not get the out. Pena, a defensive specialist, is likely to be sent down when Derek Jeter returns. Thank goodness.
Jason Bay capitalized on the error, as he singled in the winning run.
Tough loss for the Yankees, but they still took the Subway Series.

If you don't love David Robertson and Brett Gardner I don't love you.
Whose getting called up first, Jesus or this Jeter guy?
Crouching moron, hidden smarta**
Optimism, pessimism, F*CK THAT; we're gonna make it happen. As God as my bloody witness, I'm hell-bent on making it work.

On the plus side
At least interleague is fucking over with.

I actually wish it would never end.
Apparently the Yankees would win like 130 games in the NL
Status quo.
"Plus"?
I love seeing the Yankees fucking own play National League teams.

I hate Interleague
It further contributes to an unbalanced, bullshit schedule. I’d rather lose to AL teams than pounce on NL teams. I’d rather lose with a balanced schedule than win with an unfair one.

Eh, it doesn't bother me.
A win is a win. I didn’t complain when that bullshit schedule helped us win a division and homefield in ’09.
I can see why it would upset some though.

My only beef with it is the feeling of dread when our pitchers have to bat.
Couldn’t care less about the rest.

Here’s the link to watch the Thunder game that starts in a few minutes. It’s Jeter’s last rehab game and Banuelos is pitching.

Yankees not happy about start time. Said they were told it was 4 pm. Ended up being 2:30. They got told near 2 pm.
And Tex says no HR Derby for him.

Stupid Mets...
Also probably good about Tex.
Unless you're a pitcher or Gustavo Molina, kindly SWING THE BAT and ignore the Binder's bunt signal.
DFA this Rivera guy, he'll never amount to anything.
So now the guys in the subway are saying Jesus is coming on October 21, 2011, but that would mean he wouldn't be on the playoff roster, let alone be eligible for it. I really don't know where these guys are getting their information from...
castrate him to make sure there are no more

Enough of Pena
The guy just isn’t a very good player. Nunez was 7 for 8 in the series (damn near 8 for 8 if not for a great play by Turner) and wasn’t going to play tomorrow with Jeter’s return, why sit him when he was playing the best baseball of his young career? We already had a hole in the lineup with the pitcher hitting, but Girardi cut another hole in the lineup when he started Pena.

It's a shame
If there’s something positive out of this, it’s that Boone Logan has really been pitching well and doing his job since A-Rod talked to him. Whatever he said, it’s worked because Logan has been getting the lefties out since then. He did his job again today before Pena blew it. I hope that continues and he can be a reliable lefty reliever in the second half and into the postseason.
Pena gone, Derek Jeter back tomorrow to resume the 3000 quest. Great to have him back- I’m excited to see him go for 3000. I’m hoping for this upcoming 4 game set against Tampa.
CALL UP JESUS MONTERO!
I got the inside scoop on what A-Rod said
He just said, “Hey, you know you’re supposed to get lefties out?” And suddenly it dawned on Logan, a light went off in his head and he realized, as did Steve Martin in “the Jerk”, that he had a special purpose.
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
It'd be awesome
If ARod gave Logan a pep talk in song form.

And then he raped him.
And said that if he didn’t start getting people out he’d do it again.

On the positive side
Pena is pry gone and it seemed as though Kay’s head exploded when FIP was being explained to him.
I really hate Heatley
So I approve.

Don't worry
Heatley will probably request a trade then veto whichever one the Wild GM makes that helps the Wild. Oh wait..

Can't even pretend it's intentional because he has no idea where the ball is going.
