IGT: Mets vs. Phillies 6/15 - Going for the Sweep

[Guest Hillbilly]

I got to go get signatures. Chair, Dean, VP. They'll all get a Met update. See you in a half inning or so. Rollins flys to Reys on a 3-1 pitch. I would been wiggin if he walked.

Baseball is boring. What's happening in the World Cup?

[Centerfield]

Just a loud strike Steve. Don't let it rattle you. Throw strikes.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Wow.

Our offense is smoking lately.

[Elster88]

Is there anyone left at the ballpark?

England 0, Trinidad & Tobago 0 in the 73d minute. I didn't know we had a day game today. 3 World Cup matches and a Mets-Phillies game, why did I bother to go to work?

Wow, even when three teams are playing, nobody scores.

That's because there are too many teams on the pitch; one team is confused because they don't have a goal to shoot at.

[Centerfield]

England is playing Trinidad and Tobago? At the same time? Isn't the field crowded? Soccer is so counter-intuitive...

On Edit: Crap. Freakin' Yancy.

[Elster88]

Yancy gets double points for being the first to make the joke.

[Elster88]

Trachsel with the weak groundout. Cut him.

Ding Ding Ding
We have a winner.
That one was so good that today's post-of-the-day competition has been closed.

Mr. Gang. Please come to the front desk to pick up your prize.

I've been noticing lately that this Burrel guy does pretty well against the Mets.

You obviously didn't see the Leo Durocher line in Edgy's post from page 1.

My fault. After the first inning I was thinking no-hitter.

I still would have voted for this one. BTW- I remember Leo the Lip. Edgy's line would have been funny if it weren't so in character for Leo to do something like that.

Best. IGT. Ever!

[Centerfield]

We have a ballgame.

[seawolf17]

Who is this Burrell guy? This kid's a hitter.

[Elster88]

Dammit Traxxxx.

[seawolf17]

It's the moustache. It's hard to pitch to a guy when you're afraid his moustache is going to reach out and bitchslap you.

[Centerfield]

Trachsel gives up more hits to pitchers than anyone I have ever seen.

[MFS62]

F'n Italian catchers.
Speaking of that, where's,......, never mind.

That's because his 37 MPH fastball is perfect for their bat speed.

The post as a whole though...the mental image of Willie brandishing a revolver with the face he makes whenever Chris Russo asks him a question, combined with the mental image of a poor, old, senile Ralph still only able to relate it to something from fifty years ago.

Edgy gets post of the day.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Thank good his out of that mess. I hear Pelfrey pitch very well again the other day.

[Elster88]

Son. Let the kid at least try AAA before we bring him to the majors. We're 41-23.

[Centerfield]

Lidle settling in. Momentum has changed hands methinks.

Yep. The entire post was funny. But I was only asked about the Leo line of Edgy's post. And Yancy's line just struck me as a tad funnier. Sorry Edgy. Please enter tomorrow's contest.
