IGT 7-30-2006 Mets go for the sweep in Atlanta

[stevejrogers]

We walked on the beach beside that old hotel
They're tearing it down now
But it's just as well
I haven't shown you everything a man can do
So stay with me baby
I've got plans for you

This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
Cause we won't
Although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
And now I need the rest of you

Did you know that before you came into my life
It was some kind of miracle that I survived
Some day we will both look back
And have to laugh
We lived through a lifetime
And the aftermath

This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
Cause we won't
Although we want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
I know we've got to move somehow
But I don't want to lose you know

Sometimes it's so easy
To let a day
Slip on by
Without even seeing each other at all
But this is the time you'll turn back and so will I
And those will be the days you can never recall

And so we embrace again
Behind the dunes
This beach is cold
On winter afternoons
But holding you close is like holding the summer sun
I'm warm from the memory of days to come

This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
But we won't
Although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
But now I need the rest of you

"Go(ing) for the sweep" in IGT thread title seems to always lead to a loss.

[Guest KC]

Songs that start IGT's are supposed to inspire some ass kicking, not some
toilet bowl grasping thow up ...

Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh- oh
What can you do?
What can you do?
With a brat like this always on your back
What can you do? (lose? )

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

]Songs that start IGT's are supposed to inspire some ass kicking, not some toilet bowl grasping thow up ...

LOL. Everything I know about Mojo suggests that post-Stranger Billy Joel songs, particularly the same lame ballad two days in a row, spells "lengthy trip to the disabled list" or something worse.

We must win in spite of Billy.

However, you MAY NOT change the insipid song lyrics, nor alter the thread title, in an attempt to "undo" the dark spell cast. We're just gonna hafta overcome it.

That was my Senior Prom theme.

[Guest KC]

No disrespect to your teenage memories meant, and I'm fully aware that
there Billy Joel fans here and I don't mean to insult them either.

None taken, just stating a fact. It was hard to dance to.

[Guest KC]

If you're on the highway and the road runner goes "Beep-beep",
Just step aside or you might end up in a heap.
Road runner, road runner, runs down the road all day,
Even the coyote can't get in his way!

Road runner, that coyote's after you!
Road runner, if he catches you you're through!

That coyote's really a crazy clown.
When will he learn that he never can mow him down?
Road runner, road runner, never bothered anyone,
Running down the road's his idea of having fun!

But not annoying...

[Guest cooby]

Or clueless

[Guest GYC]

Floyd scratched due to sore achilles tendon; Woodward in left and in same lineup spot.

[Guest KC]

Not happy news re: Floyd - that can nag and nag and nag and bark for weeks.

[Guest KC]

Delgado Kabooms the Mets to a 2-sniffle lead. Gee, first inning runs -
what a strategy.

[stevejrogers]

KA BOOM DELGADO


395 Lifetime

Holy Crap!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

3-0 Mets after an inning.

[Zvon]

missed a kaboom-dagnabbitt.

Yesterday I had a house full of people (wasnt gonna stop me from watching the game) and I was running in here on homers to post KaBooms-

people think I'm caaaaaarazy.


Good start today.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let go. It counts with or without you.

Braves are wearing their red softball jerseys. Heck, guys, act like you care.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hard fought at-bat produces a hit for Glavine while the guy in the booth for Atlanta was specuatling that he'd whiff intentionally to get the at-bat over with.

Glavine isn't the non-professional. You're confusing him with yourself.

[Guest Edgy DC]

As Reyes hits, McDowell picks up the phone, presumably to ask Frank Cashen if there's any room for him in the Mets' system.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bases loaded with Beltran/Delgado/Wright coming up... perhaps as daunting a prospect as there might be in baseball right now.

[Zvon]

="Edgy DC"]Let go. It counts with or without you.

It does?

lol--

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, it's not that daunting any more.

Everybody who has ever booed Beltran, please pinch yourselves.

[stevejrogers]

[nymr83]

there was alot of applause after the homerun, have Met fans taken over Turner Field?

[nymr83]

shrink that thing steve.
