Throwback Nite IGT 8/19/06

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Well that ceremony was fantastic.

And remember, only 86 songs:

]Now I'm not feeding off you, I will rearrange your scales If I can, and I can March into the ocean, march into the sea I had a hat I put it down and it sunk, reached down, Yanked it up, slapped it on my head All the people gather Fly to carry each his burden We are young despite the years we are concern We are hope despite the times All of the sudden, these days Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever I wish to meet each one of you And you, me, you, if I can and I can We have many things in common, name three I had a hat and it sunk, reached down, Yanked it up, slapped it on my head All the people gather Fly to carry each his burden We are young despite the years we are concern We are hope despite the times All of the sudden, these days Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales If I can and I can I wish to eat each one of you and you, me, you I had a hat and it sunk, reached down, Yanked it up, slapped it on my head All the people gather Fly to carry each his burden We are young despite the years we are concern We are hope despite the times All of the sudden, these days Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you Carry each his burden We are young despite the years we are concern We are hope despite the times All of the sudden, these days Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go

Great ceremony, tons of fun to watch.

The sky diver was a nice touch.

I do love these jerseys.

[Gwreck]

Dave Williams is the 3rd (?) #32 this year for the Mets. What's the record for number of different players wearing one uniform number in a single year?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Great triv. Four stiffs wore 6 in 2004:

Ricky Gutierrez
Gerald Williams
Tom Wilson
Jeff Keppinger

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I enjoyed that ceremony far more than I imagined I would.

Twenty years later those guys still give me goosebumps.

Unbelieveable.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

And right now I'm having a hard time giving a damn about the 2006 Mets.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Keith is positively giddy in the booth right now and still wearing his uni. "They'll have to tear the uniform off me," he said.

Right on, Keith.

On the topic, when's that interview you had with Paul Lukas going up?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Williams soft-tosses a 1-2-3 first.

Let's jump early, boys.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Jeff Francis looks like he should be pitching in Williamsport.



Mets fall uno-dos-tres

Some time next week I think, I'll link when it does.

I don;t envy his interview transcription: We talked for 2 hours at a bar.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Barmes with a beautiful play in the whole. Close play at the bag, but Woody doesn't get the home town call.

0-0

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Williams derails the inning by picking off Choo Freeman.

Still scoreless.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Lenny Dykstra in the booth, sounds toasted.

Ronny doesn't look happy that he lost his chair to him, I guess he drew the short straw.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Williams brings the cheese to strike out Holliday, Dykstra hilariously drunk.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Beware guys named Yorvit and Yorkis.

Rockies up 1-0 on Torreabla's HR, going to bottom 5th.

Dave Williams is quite OK.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Milledge knocks the first base hit of the night for the home squad.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Chavez grounds out to end the side as Ron and Keith goof on Orosco's tiny head.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Great stuff in the Orosco interview:

Darling: Jesse is the only guy I ever played catch with whose throws would whistle they had so much spin.

Jesse: Bud Harrelson recovered his airborne glove; his hat might have been taken by umpire Lee Weyer as a souvenier, but because it was too small he left it alone.

Milledege breaks up Jeff Francis' no-no, but Endy grounds out to end tthe threat.

This woulda been a nice time to have a RH-hitting OF on the roster.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Delgado channels Keith Hernandez with a diving catch on the bunt.

Darryl, move your damn hand, it's making us uncomfortable.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Dave Williams is hurt with...something.

Berto in with 2 out and men on the corners in the 6th

???

[Guest OlerudOwned]

He kept his hand in is crotch the whole inning.

LoDuca doubles, making it 2 men in scoring position for Beltran.

[Guest cooby]

Ew!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Nice play, Matt Holliday!

Runners on the corners for Delgado.

4-1 Colorado

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Delgado goes the other way! With 2 strikes! Great hitting.

4-2, Colorado

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Off Torrealba's glove, a passed ball!

Beltran scores, Delgado to second, and Wright will get the IBB.

4-3, Colorado

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'm doing the Curly Shuffle here.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Rockies defense looks braindead right now.

Milledge with the base hit, booted by RF with funny name, Delgado scores!

Wright hung up between 2nd and 3rd but Atkins makes a bad throw, which gets bobbled by the RF with funny name.

4-4 Tie!
