IGT 07/19, Mets at Dodgers

[Guest Edgy DC]

Knock him out, Jose. Now!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Revenge!

[Frayed Knot]

I think Marlon already has more hits than Newhan.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Welcome back, Marlon. Where the Hell you been?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

It's astonishing how poor a decision Newhan turned out to be.

Come on Mets, Glavine isn't good enough to protect a 4-run lead. Get Marlon home.

its more astonishing, given his career stats, than anyone thought he'd be a good move in the first place.

Remember that he hit 3 or 4 HRs during ST.
Not that I (or prolly anyone) expected much from him on account of that,
but between him and Franco they really put a hole in the early season bench.

Can someone remind me why we let him go in the first place??

Crap....Glavine had to give that one up to Kent of all people.

[Frayed Knot]

GODDAMMIT, how many lives do you need?!?!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Willie, Please get this decrepit old slowballer off the mound.

Sincerely,
All That Is Holy

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Glavine isn't exactly fooling anyone tonight. It looks like this one is going to be a real slugfest.

Yabbut didn't you have a little trust in the org to turn up the right types of these kinda guys? I wouldn't have guessed Newhan was a good idea either but I thought they must have known something.

Glavine is making me PUKE.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

This apparently what Glavine's piutchers look like to the Dodger hitters tonight.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Get the fuck out of my sight Glavine.

BBBbOooOOOoooooOOoooooooOooOOOOoOOOOOoooOOOO0o0oooooooOOOOO

[Guest Edgy DC]

6-0 and 9-4.

These were gifts to you, Tom.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A nice easy come backer to Sele would be nice here.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

So I check the score the first time and it's 6-2 and I say "Yea!"

Then it's 6-4 and I grumble back to my chores.

Then I check again and we have 9. Yea!

Then I see bleeping Aaron Sele on the mound and I'm afraid to go back to the chores.

[Frayed Knot]

Dodger baserunning is saving us tonight.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Thanks for that, because our pitchers apparently need all the help they can get.

The Mets were fortunate to get out of theat mess no worse than that.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, that seemed like a hugely un-necessary sacrifice by Garciaparra.

I congratulate Sele, but I don't like Randolph going straight to the long-man there. It may be early, but it's a high-leverage spot. Go to the short man to get you out of the inning, then turn it over to Sele.

But good job, Sele.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I hereby dub thee The Aaron Sele Game.

On the bright side, Newhan was just a free-agent signing, right? He didn't cost us anything like the Johnson and Burgos trades did.

I think the Nats offered him a lot more $$ than we were willing to, or that he deserved.

[Frayed Knot]

D. J. Houlton pitching for LA

What is it with ballplayers using only initials these days?

- J. J. Putz pitched in the All-Star game to J. J. Hardy.
The result was, of course, a BB

- And up in Toronto, GM J. P. Riccardi is having a tough year as both B. J. Ryan
and A. J. Burnett are on the DL

[nymr83]

edit- nevermind

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I like letting scrubeenies scatter after 1 year, especailly when you catch lightning in a bottle. Anderson was a pretty good benchie tho IIRC his magic waned as the season progressed and letting him walk was considered pretty OK around these parts.

[Frayed Knot]

WE GOT THE LEADOFF BATTER OUT !!!!

Actually it was me who asked that question. Thanks DocTee and thanks Dickshot for answering.

[bmfc1]

The Mets offered Anderson one year and the Nationals offered him two.
