IGT 8/10/2019: WAS @ NYM -- Hot, Wild in the Citi

[G-Fafif]

The New York Mets, winners of seven in a row and seven in a row before a loss so rudely interrupted them, are a hair or so out of a playoff spot and a hair and a half from the one Washington packed for its trip to Citi Field. The Nationals need to do a better job of locking their suitcases. Friday night they left themselves wide open to swipage.



Noah Syndergaard takes the hill on Hawaiian Shirt Night. Patrick Corbin also does, but who cares about him?

Corbin got hit around by AZ in his last start, 5 1/3 IP, 5 ER. He's having a good season, 3.43 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 164 K in 141 2/3 IP. This is his 5th start against the Mets this season (2-2). http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31313/patrick-corbinhttp://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31313/patrick-corbin Alonso and Rosario hit HR's off him in the most recent game. Shirtless Mike From Seattle, Washington has 4 HR's off him, JD and Amed have 2.



Noah has given up 3 HR's to Robles and 2 to Rendon but that was all pre-Vulture.

When HCITC first came out, I liked it enough but it bothered me A LOT to discover the singer was a guy. I thought "Nick" in Nick Gilder could be like Nicolette Larsen, and it caused me all kinds of cognitive dissonance... I didn't know how to process the ambiguity and between that and the lyrics lecherousness, it resulted in me deciding that I hated the song. Now that I'm a grown up and evolved, I can admit all that and every time I hear that song now I turn it way up and rock out. What a terrific song.



Worth the extra 30 seconds in your life is the extended LP version you never hear on the radio: the ending you hear above is a false ending, and you get an extra little solo and different wind down that makes it like a million times better.



Thank you, Nick Gilder, for forcing me to confront my anxiety over androgyny in song. Scroll up to the 3 minute mark

It's also Pride Night which should go well with the Chik Fil A foul (fowl) poles.

As if last night could be topped.

Those Mets certainly appear Prideful.

[bmfc1]

Edgy, that was very funny.

Mister Met's rainbow flag has been assembled upside down.



Mrs. Met, as always, has her shit together.

Grrrr. Hate having to fight from behind.

[Fman99]

Oh good, let's have Thor pitch to Ramos. Because that's worked out so well this year. Mickey is a big dumb shit.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We'll get to Corbin soon enough

Noah seems to pitch with his own wind machine breezing his flowing locks.

Washington doesn't want to win, inserts Rodney.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Omg

[Frayed Knot]

Now I KNOW we can get to Fernando Rodney.
