IGT — 4/29/2022, PHA@NYM, Stop at Third and 43

[Edgy MD]

The Mets get a day for any of their numerous hit batsmen to rest their bruises, and get penicillin injections for anyone exposed to Stubby Clapp, before taking the field at home against the incoming Phillies.



Tylor Megill defends against incoming assault from Aaron NewOrleansLouisiana. Phils are tied for third while fattening up against the Rockies. Bryce Harper has been DHing to rest a strained elbow. He's been playing catch, so keep an eye out for updates on him.



With Mickey Moniak still out since the end of Spring Training, the Phils are leading with Schwarber, Matt Vierling, and Nick Castellanos left to right, and Vierling has yet to hit much at all, despite a strong showing in an abbreviated stint as a rook in 2021.



Odubel Herrera, recently activated after a rehab stint, is trying to punch his way back into the lineup.

Do they still even use penicillin these days? I'm supposedly allergic to it and

have no memory of how or why I was told that at a very young age.



There's like ten afternoon games today to half-pay attention to (or not) on this

off day. That's all I got...

[G-Fafif]

Mets be home this weekend.

[Edgy MD]

That's true. I got it right in the narrative, but wrong in the title.

[Willets Point]

Apparently there's a TD Bank, CVS, and Staples at 3rd and 43 in Manhattan. Not sure of the relevance to the game.

[G-Fafif]

Mets will staple multiple wins together and leave the Phillies in need of a prescription for pain medication — take that to the bank.

I think there are also a couple of daytime lunch-to-go eateries.



Third and 43 are where Ace Frehley "exits to the night" in "Back in the New York Groove." It's a goofy-but-iconic lyric because the Midtown East location was no more exciting or associated with New York nightlife when Ace Frehley first sang it than it is today.



But, as the Mets tend to play "Back in the New York Groove" if and when they win the first game of a homestand, it's goofy lyric that I long to hear.

[Willets Point]

A-ha!

Same. I tried climbing a phone pole when I was six, got a huge splinter under my middle finger (still have the scar) so I saw the doctor, supposedly, and got a penicillin shot that gave me a bad reaction, and I've been telling people for the past half-century "Penicillin" when they as about allergies, though I don't remember any of this, just a story (and as scar) I've been told about.



"What was the bad reaction, exactly?"



"I was six, and out of my kug with fever, probably, how the hell would I know?"

[kcmets]

Similar story, my guess is mine goes back to getting stitches on my forehead

after being pushed off a sliding board and all I have is the scar to prove it.



That was before we landed on the moon, so I'm feeling kinda old right now...

[Lefty Specialist]

Punched my brother in the mouth when I was little. He had braces. He got the braces off, but I still have the scar.

[seawolf17]

"PHA"? Did the A's move back already?

[kcmets]

This is a pretty funny thread...

Phun with three-letter abbreviations.

Same thing here. Allergic to "Ceclor" and have no memory of having it as a kid.

i have a kid who's allergic to penicillin. it gave him lots and lots of pinks spots all over his body. he can't have anything in the 'cillin family.



i recall getting bloody noses whenever i had taken 'cillin as a yoot. was never told i was allergic, and never had problems as an adult. i also never, to my knowledge, developed spots.

It is the also the site of my new office building. I look out the window trying to spot Ace allatime. Ace by the way celebrated his 71st birthday this week.

Only 8 batters in that lineup. Oh, and Cano.

[Edgy MD]

This one-game-in-three pattern for Dom Smith is rough.

[kcmets]

Dom Smith is gonna have a huge May, huge I tell ya.



(just hope it's for the Mets)

[Edgy MD]

Last year we saw Alec Bohm. He got a hit, and Ms. Edgy said, "Good for him — he had an error earlier so now he doesn't have to feel so bad."



Just now in this game we saw Alec Bohm, and Ms. Edgy said, "Hey, look! It's Mr. Error."



When did she become so mean?

[Edgy MD]

Megill's giving up fewer baserunners, but Nola's getting all the Ks.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gotdamn. Megoo showed some emotion there.



Do we dare to dream?
