IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

The combo of Max Scherzer & Patrick Corbin once struck fear into the hearts of Nats opponents.

Now those same two strike fear into the hearts of the Nats themselves.



Game time is at 7:10 because Saturday afternoon baseball is now apparently illegal.

Hijinx will ensue.

[Ceetar]

good, I'm busy most of the day but should be able to listen/watch by 7 or 8.

Max Scherzer

(#21, 37, RHP, 9-4, 2.27)

[Lefty Specialist]

This better not be a 1-0 game. Step on the gas against Corbin, Metsies.

[The Hot Corner]

Hopefully, the Mets will give Max five or six runs to work with so the team can enjoy a less stressful game.

[Edgy MD]

You never want to lose on Temps Day.

1972 was a few years before I sang with them. (I've probably told the story before)

Later

[whippoorwill]

I can't see that but I'm guessing it's Papa Was a Rolling Stone.



I would never sing that song when I was a kid for fear it would jinx my dad. Well guess what happened anyway…

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, that was not optimal, Max.

[Fman99]

Yeah he's settled in since then. I have every confidence that we'll get 10 runs off of this gas can

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, I miss Kevin Burkhardt.

[Edgy MD]

Listen, I probably shouldn't say anything because I might jinx it, but suddenly, I'm able to watch the Mets play the Nats on mlb.tv ... without getting blacked out!

[Lefty Specialist]

Scherzer getting squeezed by the ump, but he perseveres.

[Edgy MD]

McCann outstealing Nimmo, 3–0.

[Edgy MD]

Well, fucko, Scherzer's out.

[Fman99]

Yah right into the tunnel, five innings and 67 pitches, only means some type of injury. Hoping it's not another seven week oblique injury. Christ

[ashie62]

67 pitches, is Max hurt?

[ashie62]

Max is 37

[Lefty Specialist]

This could really, really suck.

[Edgy MD]

It would appear that, yes, he is hurting. Called Hefner over and disappeared into the tunnel.

[Fman99]

Hunter dancing around trouble there.

[ashie62]

Max with a blister? Hunter had been warming up prior

[Fman99]

He didn't look to be favoring any part of his body, or wincing or looking pained that I could discern.

[Lefty Specialist]

A blister would be wonderful. I fear a recurrence of the oblique. I don't think he'd charge down the tunnel if it was a blister.

LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA LA

[bmfc1]

They know that Corbin is horrible, right? The absence of any offense tonight is upsetting.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Rats.

Gary: "Ottavino has been the man"

BLAMMO.

[Fman99]

Yeah, less good
