IGT 08/13 - Dodgers at Mets - Takin' Care of Business

[Frayed Knot]

Four runs after two out and nobody on sure beats the shit out of no runs following bases loaded/no outs ... something that seemed like an almost nighty occurrence recently.

Hat Tip to kcmets for the thread title--perhaps it was unintentional but the movie "Respect" opened today and the title song in the Aretha Franklin biopic contains:

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Take care, TCB".

The Mets are trying to take care of business and earn some respect by beating the Dodgers.

[Edgy MD]

Only one batter, but that looked like the Castro we haven't seen in a while.

[Edgy MD]

What's Pollock yelling aboot?

[Edgy MD]

Oh, Castro, I was certain that deflection was going to be bad noos.

[G-Fafif]

Another break, this on deflecting defense.

Strike 2 may have been questionable but strike 3 was definitely in there.

[Edgy MD]

Man, McCann would be a terrific platoon player, but against righthanders with a good slider, he's meat.

[Edgy MD]

In the seventh inning, the Dodgers suffered the harsh effects of Graterol withdrawal.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh blanky

[Edgy MD]

Add that one to the Mets baserunning scores.

[Frayed Knot]

Blankety-blank!

[Frayed Knot]

C'mon Diaz!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's a strike

[bmfc1]

Should Loup have started the inning?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Jeez

[Edgy MD]

What a weird-assed inning.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Siddown

Gary said "two unforced errors". What about the pickoff?

[Frayed Knot]

I'd put Muncy on

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I'd totally be walking Muncy here, but now it's 0-2.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Wtf Mets fans

[Edgy MD]

"You're embarrassing your family tonight."



This inning needs more umpire conferences.

[Frayed Knot]

Great camera work on the whole laser action.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Time to TCB

[bmfc1]

Nice job by Diaz getting Muncy after the delay.

Or, alternatively, attempt to blind him.



Man, show some class, fanz.

But Luis didn't and we survived.



Time to put this one away ... probably vs Jansen.

You can't bring in an opened bottle of water but you can bring in a laser pointer?
