IGT 06/22, Mets at Rockies

[Elster88]

Joe Smith has now stranded 26 out of 29 inherited runners.

[Zvon]

Ugh.

Smith knew that one was gone.
He just looked down and decided that was a good time to adjust his pants.

[Benjamin Grimm]

AND given up a homer to an almost-Met named Yorvit.

[Elster88]

How often does bunting for a hit actually work? Thanks for the out, Mr. Taveras. Your team now has 8 left.

[Zvon]

That at-bat by Holliday was the hump and we are over it.

GJ by Smith.

[Zvon]

Wright with the flip down sunglasses!
I love it.

How long will it take these kids playing today to realize those sunglasses are the ONLY type to use on the field?
They have these $300 sunglasses on the brim of their hats. What good are they doing there?

You can wear your fancy ones after the game.
Baseball isn't a fashion show.

Well Manny had those Oakley Thumps, the shades with the mp3 player built in.

lol.
Good thing I'm not a manager these days.

[Guest KC]

Wags on to close it out, if ever this season we don't need no drama coming
home, it's now. 3 quick outs and then we can all hit the grill or whatever.

[stevejrogers]

The Sandman has entered.

[Zvon]

[Guest KC]

Wagner looking silly sick with two K's.

[Zvon]

Keep throwin that slider Wags!!

[Guest KC]

BELTRAN!

[stevejrogers]

Into the book this one goes!

[Zvon]

Nice catch by Beltran to end it.

Yea, he caught it.

[Guest KC]

'nother half inch and it would have grass stains on it.

[TransMonk]

That's 2 of 3 in our last 3 series. Only 3.5 back of the Phils now.

Let's beat the M's tomorrow.

[nymr83]

lets SWEEP the Mariners and convince them that their season is over so they might as well leave Raul Ibanez behind when they leave NY on thursday.

I believe that I read somewhere that he used to tip his pitches with his tongue so he got the mouthpiece to stop that. Then somehow they think he was tipping them with the mouthpiece so they 86'd that.

I guess maybe they finally got him to control his tongue?

Adam Dunn - who's defensively challenged enough - had his on his hat in yesterday's game
in the Bronx. So as a fly is hit to him he decides that now is the time to put them on his eyes
and almost manages to poke his orbs out in the process.
He winds up catching the ball in his glove while the specs are in his bare hand and then proceeds
to put the stem in his mouth in order to throw the ball back in.
Fortunately for him no runners were on base at the time.

The number of times chicks have said this to me.
