IGT 4/20/06 Traschel v. Padres

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rusty flashed more leather in 1985 than Franco in 2006 so far.

San Diego went to the break playing "Waiting for My Man." I guess they mean that the Pads are trying to score.

The mid-eighties/late eighties Mets used to play Lou Reed's "Rock 'n' Roll."

Julio warming up, FWIW.

[Centerfield]

Valentin picks up hit!

Justifies guaranteed contract!

[metirish]

Valentin gets a hit...I swear to you I saw it...good for him...

my point was (rather obviously i thought) that if you bring in Julio you'll end up needing Wagner.

I thought Piazza was out of this game.

Sorry. I actually had a long argument about this with someone back before I had the internet to quickly verify such things.

[Frayed Knot]

Sign Valentin to a multi-year deal NOW!!!!

That seems a bit reactionary.

Omar should wait until he gets another hit.

On Edit: Jorge Julio coming in. As Murph would say, fasten your seat belts.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Here we go with 1,2,3 from Julio.

[Zvon]

LoDuca dont feel da vibes.

[Centerfield]

You'll have to cut him a break. He doesn't get to read up on the other team squeezing in 18 at Pebble Beach before games.

Remind me again why I don't live in San Diego?

[DocTee]

Julio, as Murph would also say, is a "contact pitcher"

[Centerfield]

Nice slider from Julio. 2 down.

[nymr83]

nice game for the mets.... i hope beltran is o.k.

[Centerfield]

Julios are Jeros today.

Nice win Mets.

[TransMonk]

Awesome game, great thread.

Let's do it all again tomorrow.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Awesome slider as the Pads' announcer does an anti-New York slur.

Julio is Miller Lite Player of the Game.

[Guest Hillbilly]

That's more like it! It's a shame all those Met Fans have been jumping off bridges, but on the other hand, we don't have to read their posts any more.

[Zvon]

Well, i got here 2nite just in time for the fireworks.

Great comeback.

[metirish]

Great win and a great IGT, thanks people, I love how LoDuca talks to Julio after the win, no doubt telling him good shit...

[Frayed Knot]

"He doesn't get to read up on the other team squeezing in 18 at Pebble Beach before games."

Pebble is no where near SD but we get your point.



Nice game boys, nice I-G-T folks

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

buenos nachos --

Nice wedding gift to the KCs.

[Guest old original jb]

This was one of the nicest games I've seen in a long time.
Game winning RBI by my geriatric hero. Bats reawaken. Matsui looking highly competent (hope it lasts). Julio even looked more like a pitcher (although still a bit wild for a close game or a situation with runners on base).

PS: wedding gift for the KC's? Does this mean that Blanche is taking back Oscar Madison?

[Guest Edgy DC]

You'd have never thunk it, but yeah, this is the big weekend.

All our Catholic boys are goin' legit.

'Cept me.

[Willets Point]

You're too legit to quit.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Well, I confess. I went to bed while we were down 2-1 and the Padres had the bases loaded with no one out.

In my defense, your honor, I've been sick all week and this is the first night I've stayed up past 10:00 p.m.

Shit. I hate missing rallies.

Nice IGT. A good way to get caught up.

They must be kicking themselves. I love living in a media market that still has two tabloids.
