IGT 09/19/07 - Mets at Nationals

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Ok, so I'm a little eager ...

NYM: M. Pelfrey (2-7, 5.23)
WAS: M. Chico (5-8, 4.61)

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

This is like one of them kid quizzes:

Can you spot what's wrong in this (non-doctored) picture? No cheating!

[metirish]

Yikes...his cap logo.

[Willets Point]

Is that a sunflower or a supernova?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Was that from when the Mets were the "Mercury Daisies"?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Arizona fall league?

I know they wear their team uniforms for those games, but matching caps.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

AZ fall league is correct. That also explains his No. 39 jersey. (he wears 34 with the real club).

[TransMonk]

That cap is for the Mesa Solar Sox.

Alright Mets, I'm calling youse out, just like Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald did to Hall and Oates:

You think that maybe it's over
Only if you want it to be

Are you gonna wait for your sign, your miracle
Stand up and fight

This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
Your back's to the corner
This is it
Don't be a fool anymore
This is it
The waiting is over

d'oh

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Good, I guess, to see Alou in there.

That was my first reaction as well.

[TransMonk]

The Mets are shaking things up. In the first inning they go 1-2-3.

MASN showed a graphic that stated the 21 runs that the Nationals have scored the past 2 games are the most runs in consecutive games that the team has scored since they moved back to DC.

Ouch.

[Valadius]

Thank God Alou is back in there.

[metirish]

Jeter makes that play...

[Zvon]

Awwww, come on Reyes!

Was it a tuff play?

Just reads like an error here.

0-0 after one.

[TransMonk]

There was no way he would have thrown the runner out...he had to range pretty far to get the ball. He airmailed it into the camera-well past 1st.

[Zvon]

Beltran: looking: gah.

Alou keeps his streak going.
Whats the use if we don't bring him around?
Come on Conine.

Do something memorable and I'll make a sign out of it.

[bmfc1]

We're ready Zvon: Conine the Barbarian? Conine O'Brien?

[Zvon]

="bmfc1"]We're ready Zvon: Conine the Barbarian? Conine O'Brien?

I can do that.

First let me thank him.



And Lo Duca brings Alou home-- the streak adds dividends.

[Valadius]

Z - Conine the Barbarian. I'm begging you.

[bmfc1]

Cardinals tonight--no Edmonds, no Poo-holes. Ugh.

[Valadius]

Alou is up to a 23-game hitting streak.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Conine's got 3 straight hits I think. All about his changing into No. 19

[Frayed Knot]

Oh no, we have a lead!!
Well at least it's not a big one, then we'd really be in trouble.

[Zvon]

No doubt, Belliard is this years fat ass.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

FK: >>>Oh no, we have a lead!!<<<

Oh well.

[TransMonk]

Weirdest double of the year for Reyes.

[Frayed Knot]

Now THAT is something you don't see everyday!!

For those not watching ... Reyes's shot to LF got stuck *on the fly* in the padding of the fence where no one could find it for a while.
Ground Rule Double is the call.
