Vargie has a career 11.40 ERA in 15 innings at Coors Field.

Get the bullpen loose and score some runs.

[Guest 41Forever]

Love the Fixx songs!!!

[Centerfield]

Predictions:

1. When Vargas pitches tonight, there will not be a time when we, like last night, forgot the game was being played at Coor's Field.

2. We will hear "Well a ____ run lead here, is like a 3 run lead anywhere else. Mets just have to chip away and get to that bullpen."

3. After this game, we will hear justification of Jason Vargas that starts with "If you take away that one start at Coor's Field, Jason Vargas has been pretty ok over his last few...."

The Fixx have a large video catalog. We can ride this puppy to Independence Day
if the Mets are willing and able to cooperate.

From Cy Curnan to Cy Young!

Wikipedia helpfully mentions that video is the first in which a mobile phone ever appeared (a modified Motorola KR999).

I haven't listed to the Fixx in forever but do remember this song, which IMO doesn't get going till like 2 minutes in.

Unless I've missed something, tonight's staring outfield of Smith, Conforto and Nimmo is the first Mets' starting outfield in which each outfielder is younger than 26 since September 24, 1997: Butch Huskey, Carlos Mendoza, Alex Ochoa.

This reminds me of my little almost 3 year old grandson...
He says grandma you are funny and so is owlie. (Helper at daycare)

Owlie says ‘chicken poop’. Three year old boy humor

I had no idea Smith could play the outfield. And so much for the plethora of capable outfielders we had. Injuries sort things out as usual.

I read that phone thing the other day, to me it looks like the phones they
carried around when MASH went out in a jeep for some reason. Guess the
technology is different. I just stumbled into our FIXX with the 'enough is
enough' thing and hope to ride it into the next homestand!

For those interested in baseball-related IGT material, the tarp is coming
off but I don't think they've announced a start time yet.

10:00, yikes!

Just because he's playing in the outfield doesn't mean he can play the outfield.
We'll find out.
Later

[Guest cooby]

Looks like another wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night to see what happens

Well, I meant "i had no idea he could even fake it enough that the manager would consider throwing him out there"

If you want to see the evolution of the mobile phone just watch an X-Files marathon.

Wilmer Flores going the other way is beautiful.

"Our we ourselves?" is likely what Smith asks himself when he asked to be an outfielder.

[Edgy MD]

Big dumb stupid shift.

[Centerfield]

Rosario is not ready yet. Jesus.

Can’t hit, catch or throw.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

fucking Vargas

[Centerfield]

Vargas getting lit up. What a surprise.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

3 in a row

[Edgy MD]

Vargas looks like he has to two black eyes.
