Reds @ Mets, 6/22 Gay Dame IGT

[Centerfield]

Nady tells CF to stick it up his ass.

Then sticks his head up his own ass and gets thrown out trying to stretch.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Nady is out trying to stretch a single into a double, but he knocks in Franco in the process. 3-2 Mets.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

="Eric Milton"] Ha ha Mets! I am one-hitting you!

Looks like you spoke too soon, Eric.


I think we play the Mets tonight.


No, Jackass. The Yankees.


I have sex outdoors!

Semi-retired?
The guy was, IIRC, 16 years old in 1944.
The guy deserves a full retirement, thank you.

I thought he was 14. Whatever.

Who is this Wright kid? He's quite a hitter. They should hold on to him.

[Elster88]

LOL, JD

[Elster88]

There's a thread on that board where they talk about the Mets. I think everyone who posted on it went out of their way to say they DON'T hate the Mets. Interesting. I love reading out of town people think about baseball in general and the Mets in particular. Did I mention that yet?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I gotta be honest: I don't hate the Reds either, and I'm happy for their success.

[Elster88]

I don't see much reason for hating the Reds either. They're just anudder team to me.

[soupcan]

Nuxhall was 15 when he debuted, no?

[Elster88]

Interesting that they are discussing where they can move Milton. Last I checked they were still in the race. They probably know something about their team that I don't.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I have no hatred for the Reds. Our neighbor, who is a lovely person, grew up in Ohio and is a Reds fan.

I just want to beat their asses today, that's all.

[Elster88]

How did Reyes get to second? Gamecast shows a single and then him moving to third on Woody's groundout.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

He's home now on a Beltran single.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

He got to second on the groundout also. I can't describe the play, but it was a wild one.

Then he scores to give the Mets a 4-2 lead

[MFS62]

="soupcan"]Nuxhall was 15 when he debuted, no?

Yeah, that sounds right. So he's still deserving of full retirement.

When Brooklyn lost its team, I started to look for another NL team to root for and became a Reds fan for a while. I liked Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson. I still like the team and wish them well, but not against the Mets.

Almost 100 pitches for Pedro through five. Get somebody ready in the pen.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Did I mention that I love that boy?

His second two-run homer of the day gives the Mets a 6-2 lead!

[stevejrogers]

Wright again

[Guest Rotblatt]

Oh.

My.

God.

How good is David Wright? I mean, seriously.

Guy was in the hospital earlier this year, I'm not sure if he officially retired, but he is still doing some home games, probably a Ralph Kiner kind of role

Maybe I'll give a Nuxhall update with my In Cincy KTE Thread next month

If anyone has a good description for us poor bastids at work, could you get it down? I can't find one on the web.

[Guest Edgy DC]

]How good is David Wright? I mean, seriously.

If you're a lefty, probably as good as anybody you're going to face right now.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Pedro likely ends the day by striking out the side in the 6th inning.

I'm glad he got them all swinging. That ump "squoze" Pedro all day.

[Elster88]

I gotta think Pedro is more likely to win a Cy Young than Glavine. If the Mets get him more wins and he gets his ERA down around 2.50 or so his strikeouts could seperate him from the rest of the league.

Coupla big ifs in there.

I was listening on the radio. Reyes didn't stop at second he went all the way to third on the groundout.

To third. On the groundout.

Pretty awesome huh?

[Guest Edgy DC]

The pen went deep yesterday. Go seven, Pedro.

With 110 pitches, prolly not.

[Elster88]

Runs like a deer.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Thick-legged Heath Bell starts the 7th by allowing the first two batters to single
