IGT 8/18 Mets v Royals Wheeler & Sparkman

[Frayed Knot]

And Tejada's legs pay off!!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

The NYM offense really perked up after the Royals lost their spark, man.

[Chad ochoseis]

From here on in, Rosario and Conforto switch LF and RF depending on the hitter?

[G-Fafif]

Matz for LF!

They tried the other option: Putting Nido's uniform and a fake beard on a better hitter and sending him up to the plate.

Swap McDowell and Orosco between the mound and the OF.

Let us take a moment to honor the man who worked his way from kindergarten to the Major Leagues with the name "Richard Lovelady."

LOL.

[Chad ochoseis]

I like pitcher's parks in principle, but Kaufmann Stadium has cost us some runs this series.

[Frayed Knot]

Four more runs and this game will be Diaz-proofed.

Pete's up to 94 RBI. Has he already set the team's rookie RBI record?

[Edgy MD]

Home plate ump has about three inches left on his shirt that isn't soaked through with sweat.

So I guess that in the Wifey-Watch section of the BBBF (the Base-Ball-Boni Forum) they post pictures of Lovelady's lady love.

Ramos called out just for being Ramos.

Jeezuz! All Alonso's doing lately is driving in lotsa runs. Who cares about that? I wanna see some homers.



It took me, probably, over 150 keystrokes to type these three sentences. I don't know how people type on these smartphones.

[Edgy MD]

Get your bets down now on what the Mets' defensive alignment is going to be.

Oh, yeah. The WHERE METS RANK thread is all over it.



Fun Fact: Tied for tenth in Mets rookie RBI are Gregg Jefferies and ... Tsuyoshi Shinjo.

Rosario to LF ... I like it!

[Guest 41Forever]

Wow. Rosario making his leftfield debut. Good thing we piled on the runs there to hopefully take away some of the pressure.

[G-Fafif]

The best defense is a spit ton of runs scored.

[Guest 41Forever]

Two doubles for Nido!

[Edgy MD]

Too bad Familia was the first out of the pen. This could have been a good opportunity for Sewald to get in the win column.

[Edgy MD]

I heard they got this O'Hearn guy by trading O'Cone for him.

[Guest 41Forever]

PETE BOMB!!!!!!!



YOUR NEW N.L. ROOKIE HOMER RECORD HOLDER!!

The game was 3:01 and Keith acted like it was last night's MIL-WSH game. Rosario didn't know the OF victory ritual but he tried.

Well done, Mets. Time for Mickey to show his mentor that his new team is better.

[G-Fafif]

Difference between today and MIL-WSH last night, from Keith's perspective, is Keith was doing this game.
