Only the Beginning — IGT, 6/20 NYM@CHC

[Edgy MD]

Umpty Dumpty has been calling a massive strike zone.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fraze goes bang.

Dom Smith batting, 2 outs, 1 on. He gets on and McNeil is the tying run.

[Edgy MD]

Right up to the ninth, we're getting strikes from the neck to the shins.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ah, fukit. See you tomorrow in Wrigley

[Edgy MD]

And he beginning is the ending.



Mets outplayed, and Lockett wasn't the answer. But the home plate umping sure was smelly.



Nice to see Font put up another good showing, but I need to see some winnums.

You get first cracks at seeing Alonso tie (or possibly break) Darryl's rookie home run mark.

Great song to lead off this track. Great HR by Piss Missile Pete. The rest, well, meh.

I'm beginning to see myself disengaging from this team. It's a process that's fairly frequent. They tease for a while then settle into the doldrums of less-than-mediocre. Seems to be happening again.

It struck me last night that in the middle of June in a season where we were supposed to be contenders, we trotted out four guys who had like a combined twenty total major league innings before tonight (plus Gsellman). What the fricking hell?



And of course, our guy making his major league debut gets lit up like a firecracker, and their guy making his major league debut looks like a fuckin' Hall of Famer out there, standing O after standing O.

It struck me last night that a better title track for this thread would have been "Hard for Me to Say I'm Sorry."
