IGT 09/19, Fish at Mets (the hangover game)

[Guest KC]

Little slow finding a lineup today on the internet.

[Willets Point]

"Needlessly escalating shit on the internet since 1997!"

What's the source of that? It sounds like something that came out of a long, ugly thread with Doc.

[MFS62]

I just heard on the radio that the senior Senor Franco will start at third base.
I hope Glavine will pitch those righty batters outside.

Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm pleased to hear it. And I hope he doesn't pitch with regard to his defense at all.

I have as much confidence in Franco at third as, say, Tucker at first.

[Willets Point]

WILD CARD CONTENDERS
H. Ramirez
D. Uggla
M. Cabrera 3B
J. Willingham LF
W. Helms 1B
C. Ross RF
M. Olivo C
A. Amezaga CF
S. Olsen P

DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONS
A. Hernandez SS
E. Chavez CF
L. Milledge LF
J. Franco 3B
M. Tucker 1B
C. Woodward 2B
R. Ledee RF
M. DiFelice C
T. Glavine P

That lineup will put the fear of God into any pitcher.

[Methead]

I never thought I'd be happy to see a lineup like that.

[metsmarathon]

namely tom glavine.

endy's gotta be out there thinking "what the hell am i doing out here with all these scrubs?!"

[Guest KC]

The sig line is just a change up, I guess. The inspiration was a conversation
that Mrs. Fields and I had about something where she said at least they don't
needlessly escalate the argument or something like that which I replied, "yeah,
I hate when peeople do that" and we had some giggles over it on Sunday.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

If the Mets win, Florida should stop playing this season.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Gotta love Endy Chavez's speed. He legs out a bunt single to give the Mets runners on first and second, none out.

[metirish]

Gary - "you'd be fined for posting this lineup for a spring training game"

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A double play by Milledge and ground out ensue. Scoreless after one inning.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

2-0 Fish on a Wes Helms homer.

[metirish]

Gary just said that Franco is starting at third base for the first time in twenty four years.......WOW

I even hat guys who used to be Braves.

Later

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Wow! Milledge makes a nice catch to end the inning.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Anderson Hernandez gets his first Major League RBI in a huge way -

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Holy Crap! A home run for Anderson Hernandez!!



First HR and RBI of Andy's career. Didn't see that coming.

[Valadius]

This is more of a hangover game for us it seems like.

[Valadius]

Thuuuuuuuuuugmasta!!!!!

[Valadius]

You know, Willie should give Humber a shot tonight.

[metirish]

Today would have been Bob Murphy's birthday,his widow and daughter are at the game.....thanks to gary for the info.

That reminds me of a Shea memory.

When Impulse2 was little, we went to a game with friends. I lied to the friend's little girl and told her that the scoreboard was wishing her a happy birthday - she was 3 and couldn't read, and the white lie made her happy.

So we were back in September. Of course, the scoreboard "said" Happy Birthday Impulse2. But it didn't end there. At one point, they announced that it was Bob Murphy's birthday, and they asked everyone to sing Happy Birthday to Bob. Except that everyone in our group that night sang Impuse2 instead of Bob, so she perceived that the 25,000 or so in attendance that night were singing to her. It was a fun moment.

[MFS62]

Ok, who among you had the under on "Anderson Hernandez - 1 career RBI"?

Be honest.

Later

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

When Lastings Milledge got his first Major League hit in his first game, MK's first reaction, without missing a beat, was, "That was a lot quicker than Anderson Hernandez got his."

I'd have had the under.

[Valadius]

Haha, how often do you see Jose Reyes pinch-hitting?

[Valadius]

It was his first drink

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Milledge drives in AHernandez to tie the game.

[Valadius]

Milledge allows me to use this.
