NIMMO BOOM

Two out and a runner on second. That's when you really want to see Brandon swinging for the fences.

I once won second place in a regional NE humorous speech contest (Toastmasters Int'l) with a speech titled

"Chocolate Ice Cream is Un-American".

Do I really believe that? No. But it was hyperbole as humor.

Now let's get back to the game.

Later

[Edgy MD]

This is fucking silly. I understand hyperbole fine, I understand hyperbole fine, and I understand hyperbole fine. Do you understand that I understand hyperbole fine? Because it sure is insulting to twice now read the suggestion that I don't.



If you don't actually believe there is any truth whatsoever in what you are are advancing, that's not hyperbole. That's irony.

• "Darryl Strawberry is eight feet tall" is hyperbole.


• "Wally Backman is eight feet tall" is irony.

If you do actually believe there is some truth in what you are are advancing, please be willing to back that up.



If you don't want to be accountable for anything you write, I won't hold you accountable. But there are plenty of places on the internet where there is no accountability. This shouldn't be one.

Suck it

[Lefty Specialist]

Dinger for Jabba the DH!

[Edgy MD]

Mark Vientos just provided the Mets with two runs simply by sitting down.

[Edgy MD]

A hard rain a fallin'.



Hope we can get five innings in before any weather delays, and then America can watch soccer.



And on that note, the tarp comes out.

[Frayed Knot]

The other issue in the Vogey/Vienty debate is the the Sawx pen is very LH-heavy so there's a Really good shot of Vientos getting at least one, and possibly more than one, meaningful AB before this game is over.



So it would be very nice to Not treat this as an either/or, 100%/0% situation. I think I also heard that there's more than one game in this series too, but I'll have to check on that and get back to you.

[kcmets]

On slight 'tape delay' -- Vogie VogleBOOMS, natch.



Rain delay. Yay.

[ashie62]

That's it for Senga tonight

[ashie62]

Looking at pissing rain til about midnight



I don't know if this would be a suspended game or a washout

[G-Fafif]

There are no more washouts. It would be suspended.

[Frayed Knot]

Yup. It would be resumed as the lead-in to tomorrow's game. So, maybe, 2 PM?

[kcmets]

My guess is SJRogers will be getting extra bonus innings mañana.

[ashie62]

He gets around

I thought we established yesterday that you the goal is to win that multi-game series?

[G-Fafif]

Suspended. Resume 2:10 PM. Sat game now 7:10 PM.

[kcmets]

Lazy and perhaps dumb question:



They're gonna play the rest of the game tomorrow with an empty stadium

and then proceed with the other ticketed game later on?



Seems a little bassackwards but I could have it wrong....

Why did they start the game last night. Last night's attendees got jobbed

[kcmets]

=G-Fafif post_id=132446 time=1690001115 user_id=55]Tickets from Fri nite good for Sat afternoon. Sat nite is separate admission. Not quite a split doubleheader, but essentially.

[Edgy MD]

[Edgy MD]

Hey, the Mets face two Manhattan Jaspers in two weeks!

Guillorme is looking like a goaltender out there.

Here comes meaningful AB #1 for Vientos.
