IGT Mon May 4 Mets at Rockies

[Fman99]

Look at your Mets, coming off a road series win.   I like their chances of exacting some revenge for the humbling they received at the hands of the Rockies at home.

[The Hot Corner]

Look out.  The Mets are hot.  Rolling into Colorado Riding the crest of a one game winning streak.

[Frayed Knot]

The all-important probables for the series. No, not he pitchers but the weather in this first week of May.

Monday: around 60 for first pitch (6:40 local time) but showers possible starting around 9 PM

Tuesday: rain all day with temps plummeting to the upper 30s by first pitch (6:40)

Wednesday: the good news? 1:10 local time first pitch. Bad news? snow, high of 39 degrees

[Edgy MD]

Sounds like a good time to call Monday a triple-header.

Now that we're down to one trip per year vs the Rox, it certainly seems like a while since we hit town in mid-summer.

Do they ever have clement weather in Colorado?

So Melendez is good enough to bat third, but also bad enough that we absolutely have to pinch-hit for him late in the game against a lefty, no matter what happens. Got it.

I was there in late October for five days and the weather was beautiful the whole time.

Denver actually has more hours/year of sunshine than any other big city in this country. It's just very ... changeable. It can be 70+ as it was yesterday, then be 70+ again as is forecast for Fri/Sat, but drop into the '30s w/snow in between as is almost certain for tomorrow.

So it's often clement.

[Edgy MD]

Fun Fact: Neither Matt Clement, nor Pat Clements, nor Roger Clemens, nor Roberto Clemente, nor Clement Walter "Clem" Labine ever played for The Rockies nor any minor-league team situated in the Denver area.

So, in a sense, yes, very inclement.

[seawolf17]

However...

[Edgy MD]

Well,\ done.

On the other hand, look at that very inclement sonic wave of a fart blasting out of Edgard's ass.

[seawolf17]

Yeah, the turn of the millennium was a wild time for baseball cards.

[Frayed Knot]

He's a Moniak, Moniak in the box / Was a bust in Philly but is raking for the Rox

[Edgy MD]

This leading off with Soto is really curious.

Keith seems to be doing well.

[seawolf17]

I mean, he *is* our best OBP guy. And he stole a ton of bases last year. I like it.
