IGT Fri May 4 COL @ NYM "Right the Ship"

[Fman99]

Putting my stellar IGT record on the line here to help these fuckos pull out of a week long nose dive. Zack Wheeler versus German "Sprechen Sie Englisch?" Marquez. A 7:10 PM tilt.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's pronounced "Her-man." As in, "Should we give a spot start to the club chef? Well, honestly, you could do worse than her, man."

[Guest d'Kong76]

This is a mouthful from The Denver Post:

The New York Mets have come back to the pack following the best start in franchise history, relinquishing first place in the National League East following a three-game sweep by division rival Atlanta. New York, which has dropped 11 of 17 since its scorching 11-1 start to the year, resumes its six-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night. The Mets were bludgeoned for 21 runs and 41 hits by the Braves and enter the series opener against the Rockies riding an 18-inning scoreless streak following back-to-back shutouts in which they managed a combined six hits. "Things have not gone well lately," rookie manager Mickey Callaway said.

Uh, Mickey... ya think???

I hope Scooty gets the night off.

Bruce is a first baseman tonight.

[Edgy MD]

I'd probably use Nimmo in center and Conforto on a corner on such occasions, but a step forward is a step forward.

7 combined runs in the first inning. Unfortunately, the Rockies have 5 of them.

[A Boy Named Seo]

This ship ain't right. I think we gotta DFA all these turds. Except Nimmo. 6-2 Rockies.

[ashie62]

As nicely as the season started we are in submerged in poop

We are relying on these guys,

Zack Wheeler
Jason Vargas
Steven Matz

It ain't too early to try and fix it

I do like SP P.J. Conlon at Vegas

[Fman99]

Darn. 7-2, other guys. That last one was a no doubter, too.

[Edgy MD]

Ship. Not very righted.

[Fman99]

As per GKR starters this year that are not named Jacob or Noah have a 7.41 ERA for the Mets. Which is, you know, gross.

[Edgy MD]

It's like the team is at a funeral today. I guess that's not to be unexpected. I never got the idea a whole lot of his teammates (or perhaps any of them) liked him much, but seeing a guy fall from the level he was at to this has to be a blow to anybody's sense of their mortality.

[Edgy MD]

Well, Frazier doesn't have much respect for a funeral.

[Edgy MD]

OK, just keep that line moving.

[Fman99]

Hmmm. Making it interesting mayhaps?

[Edgy MD]

Take that first pitch, Brandy.

[Edgy MD]

Damn it, Nimmo. TAKE! You do it as well as anybody.

[Fman99]

Cespedes is the guy I want up there as the tying run, that's what I'm thinking.

[Fman99]

Or Bruce, sure.

[Edgy MD]

Man.

If Reyes had swiped second, this tame might be tied.

[Fman99]

.


[bigpurple:2uby951u]WOW![/bigpurple:2uby951u]

8-7 now!

[Edgy MD]

Oh buggles.

[Fman99]

Damn. Conforto is lost.

[nymr83]

I feel like a stripper just reached down my pants, gave them a good tug and walked away


Conforto needs some AAA time

Yup.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Tough loss. Swing the bat Ces, can't get rung up there looking. Caraway says
Conforto sitting tomorrow, 4K's tonight and of course the last one...

Wheeler 6.0 IP, 10 H, 8 ER = yikes!

[Benjamin Grimm]

They probably shouldn't have asked Jason Vargas to mentor him.
