IGT 7/18 Mets vs White Sox Carrasco vs Giolito 7:10

[Frayed Knot]

That's quite a brillo pad that DJ Stewart is hiding underneath his cap.





btw, it's currently 12-11 DBacks as the Braves come up in bottom 6th

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

This is a better game than usual!



Alvarez!!

[Frayed Knot]

Oh my!

[Frayed Knot]

You suck Baty!!! (j/k)

[Edgy MD]

Fartwig exits as the pitcher of record.



Gary was noting earlier how unexpected it would have been that a relative unknown like Hartwig could be getting more-or-less meaningful innings by mid-season.



But isn't that true more or less every season?

[Frayed Knot]

Nice job by Earwig. Or is it Gertwig? Or Kristin Wiig?

[ashie62]

Francisco Alvarez! Oh my

[Edgy MD]

This is a game.



I mean, it's still a contest.

[ashie62]

11-9



New game

[nymr83]

Gott cost 8.5 million and is so far 0 for 2 in "not sucking"



shoulda left Hartwig in.

[ashie62]

Keep scoring runs now pleez

[ashie62]

Leadoff runner in Canha

[Edgy MD]

Thank this youngster for praying us out of the last inning.

Stewart kinda looks like Guillorme

Listening on XM from our lodge in Grand Canyon Village, AZ

[Edgy MD]

Lopez has closer stuff.

[Edgy MD]

Amazin', though, how the Mets have had terrific at-bats all night.



Even with a bad outcome, that strikeout that Nimmo just had was a damn good trip. This is the approach they need.

[Frayed Knot]

Ya don't see 35 pitch scoreless innings too often.

[Edgy MD]

I only caught the tail end of it because I had to simultaneously pay attention to my family (eyeroll), but nice job by Steve Gelbs earlier in the game in reporting on the fin de siecle spelling reform movement that led to "sox" becoming a credible alternative spelling for "socks."

[ashie62]

Adam ribs the White Sox

[Frayed Knot]

Just the 0 we needed from #0

[ashie62]

Gelbs might have been a German king in that era

I was disappointed that he didn't mention one of the spearheads of that movement, dewey decimal system inventor Melville Dewey. Or, as he spelt it, Melvil Dui

[ashie62]

Gitter dun Robertson

[Edgy MD]

Dui was something of a fascinating, influential, high-achieving nut, wasn't he?



Once the Emersonian spirit took flight, it brought some odd minds to follow him to the forefront.

[Edgy MD]

I did not know Elvis was still playing.

[ashie62]

C'mon David

[ashie62]

CRAP

[Edgy MD]

You might have done better had you thrown that pitch to Andrus.

METS WIN
