IGT 7/4/22 - Fireworks time

[Edgy MD]

The dropped tag by India is part of the argument to come in feet first. It wasn't particularly hard contact on the slide, but if a guy has a poor grip on the ball, then feet are better at knocking it free than hands.

[Edgy MD]

Ex-Mets showing hostility toward their former employers tonight.

[The Hot Corner]

Drew Smith isn't really fooling anybody.

[Edgy MD]

He not only was getting hit hard, but was pitching to India like he was afraid to come near the plate, but damned if he didn't fool at least one guy pulling the string on strike three.

[Edgy MD]

It'd be nice to tack some on. I think Lugie-Doo is our only option for closer tonight, with Holdielocks getting the eighth.

[The Hot Corner]

First 4 batters against Smith each hit a rocket. Fortunately, 2 of them were right at fielders. Strikes out the 5th batter and luckily escapes giving up only one run.

The sound of it is wrong as if it's sped-up.

[Edgy MD]

But hot damn, that is "Jolene."



It sounds foreign and a capella as it echoes around an empty stadium. Can't hear the banjo at all.



Mebbe I need to speak with my ear guy.

[Edgy MD]

I'd be pinch-running for Alfonso here.

[Gwreck]

Don't think I would have expected Gary to be dropping John Doe references. (Although the song was actually written by Dave Alvin).

[Edgy MD]

Well, it's Lugo in the ninth.



I must not think bad thoughts.

I don't always IGT, but I do generally tune in on Mondays. Enjoyed innings 1-3 while mowing my lawn (minus Howie unfortunately) and the rest on the tube after that.

OK so she's not a hideous plastic cyborg then? She makes me uncomfortable

[Edgy MD]

Loogy Loogy Doo, where are you?

We need a save from you, now!

Loogy Loogy Doo, where are you?

Your wife's no longer due, now!

[Edgy MD]

Well, I guess it's a good thing we didn't pinch-run for Alonso.

[MFS62]

Books.

Later

Happy 4th, nice to be in the win column!
