Throwback Nite IGT 8/19/06

So, OK. Let';s say we take the lead here and hold on to win. Would this be one of those instances where they'd award to W to Williams and not Hernandez?

They'd have to think about it.

Tucker gets on for free with the bases loaded.

5-4, 1986 World Champion New York Mets

Shea DJ playing songs from '86 tonight. Nice touch.

It'd be pretty bad not to.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Well, the situation has come to pass.

RHernandez faced 3 batter, gave up a HR, single and an out. Williams went 5.2, gave up only 1 run (+the 2 batters who scored on Robo's meatball).

Robo is PH for in the following half inning during which the Mets improbably score 5.

He can't deserve this win. He just can't.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

That's why I try to ignore the personal Win stat.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Amazin'

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Good lookin' by Reyes, draws a bases loaded walk after going 0-2.

6-4 Mets

[duan]

Fair play;

who'd have imagined Reyes walking in a run 12 months ago

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Inning finally ends on a LoDuca flyout, but damn was it fun.

Lets hold it now, Heilman.

Gary says that there is a rule that the official scorer can invoke that will disqualify Hernandez for the win because he was not effective.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Delgado picking it like the Keithmaster. Doubleplay!

He was the first punk ever to set foot on this earth.
He was a genius from the day of his birth.
He could play the piano like a ring and a bell
And ev'rybody screamed: Come on, rock me Amadeus!

He was a superstar, he was dynamite
And whatever he did, it seemed to be alright.
And he drank and he cursed and he fooled around
But when the women would shout: Rock me Amadeus!

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.

With a bottle of wine in one hand
And a woman in the other, 'cause he was a ladies man
He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring
Because the girls would sing: Rock me Amadeus!

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.

His mind was on rock and roll and having fun
Because he lived so fast he had to die so young.
But he made his mark in history.
Still ev'rybody says: Rock me Amadeus!

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Great scoop by Delgado on the DP.

He's playing great defense and had a big hit off the lefty. Sounds familiar.

EDIT: Stop taking credit for my posts, Gary!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, and dudes and dudettes... no orange dots.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Damn, Delgado looks like he's deliberately trying to go to left.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Matt Holliday looks lost out there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Holliday is making it a holliday for the Mets.

Pretty cool that Keef gets to help rate the fielders for Strat-O-Matic.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Big rip by Wright, but it makes a beeline for the Meat Bearer.

Line drive, double play. To the 8th we go.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Holliday plays OF at Coors? Yeow.

Bad routes, late jumps, poor catches.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Note for the future: Falco songs inspire lineout doubleplays.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Maybe Rogers and KC are having a beer together tonite.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Official scorer Bill Shannon says he's inclined to name Williams as pitcher of record.

Plus a plug for Shannon's new scorekeeping book.

Best.
Broadcast.
Ever.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Speaking of the official scorer, I'm having trouble convincing myself that Delgado deserves a double on that hit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Riding on the range
I've got my hat... on
I've got my boots... dusty

I've got my saddle
On my horse
He's called...T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

She: Riding on the chuck wagon
Following my man
His name is Ted
Can you believe that?

Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair
Makes me feel quite dirty
Though we all do sometimes

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

Looking like a hero
Six-gun at my side
Chewing my tobacco
Out on the horizon

I see a puff of smoke
Indians on the warpath
Indian voice: White man speak-em with forked tongue.
Or not.

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

My name is Ted
And one day I'll be dead
Yo yo.

Chris Woodward paying tribute to Wally with a thin cheesy wispy moustache.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Milledge makes for a good cowboy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Milledge says: My name is Ted
And one day I'll be dead
Yo yo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Am I overlooking something or did Milledge get shortchanged on congratulatory handshakes?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Freaking Rick Peterson is sporting the orange dot.

Why can't that guy get it together?
