IGT 04/19, Mets at Marlins

[Guest Edgy DC]

Success is good. Hitting through the lineup.

I wonder if we'll see more of Beltran at two. It's likely now to happen the next time Blastro starts behind the dish.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright taken out to rest his streaking bat for tomorry.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Exie Hank Owens is in.

He's been as good as Joe Smith so far.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Valentin with first home run of the year as the onslaught continues ....

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm getting the Marlin broadcast. They've had Miguel Olivo mic'd and he's said absolutely nothing all night.

And now....

KABOOM!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nine bases on the evening for Beltran.

How do we Schaefer this one?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Easley remains oh-for-Mets.

[Guest iramets]

The LOBs don't seem to be bothering anyone tonight, but I tell you there would be calls for blood if they'd left all these guys on base in a close game.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Sometimes ya gotta punt.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

When it comes to ass kickins, it is far better to give than to receive.

[Frayed Knot]

The Dutchman's not the kind of man
who can work his way out of a jam
and hold the Mets down.
But that's a secret only the Marlins know.

From Amsterdam in Holland
to the shores of South Beach in Miami,
they believe in him.
They think he'll bloom into a front-line ace.
He looks as rushed as he can be,
but the Marlins only see that sometimes.
And soon they'll see themselves slipping out of the race.

So let them come to the banks of the ocean,
where Citi Field rises alongside Flushing Bay.
Twice before the Marlins won the World Series crown,
but as of now we're kicking their ass today.

Not a masterpiece I know, and I went a bit obscure for the source material -- but I couldn't resist playing on the image of the Dutch pitcher and the slamdunk of substituting 'Marlins' in place of where 'Margaret' was in the original.

Wagner snapped the other streak, the scoreless bullpen innings. Oh well.

I don't think that was Borchard's Johnny Cash entrance music, I think that was "I Walk the Line" for the guy batting ahead of Borchard who got walked.

And it'd been a close game for sure if they didn't score S - I - X freakin runs, all with 2 outs, in the third inning.

and he picked a good time to snap it too, lets hope the next run our bullpen gives up is in an 8 run game

[duan]

the best thing is though that they really are capable of stomping all over teams. Alou's made a big difference here. I mean Shawn Green's started as well as we could have hoped and a lot of the time we've been batting him 7th.
I just hope willie rests Moises enough.
