ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Paul Blackburn will make his second start as a Met against Randy Feltner tonight People seem to forget that Blackburn has been an all star and it should really not be surprising if he spins some decent games Our boys seem to be a bit lethargic out west. Stay off the slippery slope Metsies and thrive LGM

ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Author Posted August 7, 2024 I like Winker and Gamel in the lineup together as a change of paceLGM
kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Why must the positions be in unreadable colors in lower case andin a smaller size than the player's names? The player names areperfect. Utterly perfect!I know the reason, asking for a friend who I won't tell the reason!
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Got to get up at the crack of dawn to start an IGT if you wanna start an IGT.
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 I think I'll just click through all of the thousand channels or so that I have to figure out what channel the game is on. And if that doesn't work, I'll do the same for the 8:30PM time slot. And if that doesn't work, then I'll do the same for the 9:00PM time slot. Eventually, I'll figure out when and where the game is on. I guess I could skip TCM and the batshit crazy religious channels because I know the game won't be on any of those channels. That oughtta save me about four seconds worth of clicking.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 I imagine there are websites that have TV listings.
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 You can also get the lineups from about a zillion different places but that doesn't stop one or two people from making a big Broadway production over the lineup every game.
kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 I'll stop if it bothers you so.Have a good rest of the IGT season, comrade.
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 No. I like the lineups. Really. I do. And I never said I didn't like the lineup postings.But I also like the game start time and a local channel.
kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Just a matter or time, ya have to stick it to me.Even if subtly. "Sad, sad really."
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Someone that's starting an IGT when the roosters are out there cock-a-doodle-dooing it obviously can't post the lineups then. It's too damn early. That's what you get when you start an IGT so goddamn early. But the game start time and a local channel?
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Just a matter or time, ya have to stick it to me.Even if subtly. "Sad, sad really."How did I stick it to you? Lets make this a Mets themed post. So I'll borrow a line from Bret Saberhagen: When I decide to stick it to you, (which I didn't think I did) you'll know it for sure.Looks like you're starting with me.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 =batmagadanleadoff post_id=165538 time=1723075575 user_id=68] So I only have to scan through my 1,000 channels for just the 8:40 time slot to figure out what channel the game's on.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 We not only get a lead, but a rare Alonso stolen base!I can't say for certain, but it's his third stolen base, and I'm thinking the other two were on the tail end of double-steals.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Wow, Feltner's evening ends after an inning.This game is on a platter for the Mets to help themselves to, should they be willing.Gamel, meanwhile, has trimmed his fray.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Well, there was a replacement pitcher last night and we didn't exactly take him to task.Don't like that steal attempt w/2 outs, a runner on 3rd and Nimmo up, even a cold Nimmo.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Yeah, it totally ruined my squeeze-bunt plan.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 My lungs are burning just watching Iglesias here.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 TRIVIA QUESTION: Who was the first Mets position player to make the All-Star Team three times?I'm going with Stoins.
Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 I am in Denver but opted to watch this one from my hotel. I am just too tired from work to endure two 45+ minute Uber rides and a ballpark crowd. Plus the forecast looked a bit touch and go. Having said that, my hotel inexplicably does not carry the channel on which this game is being aired locally. I have to watch on my tablet despite this suite having two big televisions. So that's stupid. They are carrying FS1 which has the SD/PIT Game. In Denver. What the actual hell is that all about

And if the question asked for the first Mets position player to make the All-Star Team four times, I think the answer would also be Stearns.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 I went to pee and the lead was lost.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 They've got to chase Noah Davis. They can't let this emergency pitcher coast.
