Opening Day IGT, 4/6/09, Mets @ Reds

[A Boy Named Seo]

I can't look at Sean Green without thinking of Rick Trlicek.

[Zvon]

Address the bullpen, Norton.


HELLOOOOOO BULLPEN!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Is that who we're going to? Green?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yup.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Green should've taken 53 instead of 50, if he wanted good ground ball mojo.

[Fman99]

Nice play! Welcome to the Mets, Mr. Green.

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew! Nice catch by Murphy!

[TransMonk]

="Zvon"] ="TransMonk"]Wheels...falling...off...mayday...mayday. That's okay. They can still fly. They just can't land.

The Flyin' Sean�n saves the day.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Nice catch, Murphy.

OK, get some freaking runs NOW!!!!

[Zvon]

Green does have some good movement there.

Hope he can keep those pitches from moving into bats.

OOO, Murph with the eyes closed grab in left on that liner.
I kid. Nice catch there.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Murphy moves around like a newborn giraffe out there, but it got the job done.

Did he break in on a ball that he should have broken back on?

Not really sure, he just sort of staggered around and had legs everywhere.

Yes, please. 3 innings left to the bullpen with a one run lead still scares me.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Last year, the bully would have walked the bases loaded, then got that out, then blow it in the ninth.

I like the new guy!

No he was moving to his left on a dying bird but got there in time.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

quick inning. Go stretch.

[Fman99]

So, who's our 7th inning guy? Does Green stay in? I didn't get footage of anyone warming up.

We shall see.

God I missed this. Plus with the wee ones I rarely get to spend the entire game in the IGT...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Arthur Rhodes is still pitching? Seems like he's been around forever.

17 years...had to look at his stats to see that he had a pretty nice season last year.

[Fman99]

Green on for the 7th, Feliciano tossing in the pen.

18th season. Damn it feels good to be a lefty.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Green looks funny when he pitches. Kinda slinging it, kinda whipping it across his body. He should have a discus in his hand instead of a baseball.

Hopefully it looks as weird to the hitters.

[seawolf17]

I remember Rhodes as a Met killer, and sure enough, since 2006, eleven games, eight innings, two hits, three walks, and seven K's.

[Fman99]

WOW.

[A Boy Named Seo]

WOW Dabidrye.

Put a star on that one in your scorebooks.

Or whatever.

Quick 1-2-3 for funny looking Green.

[Fman99]

1-2-3 inning for Green, Wright with a filthy catch on a shot to the 5.5 hole.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sounds like Wright made a nice play. Anyway, 4 up, 4 down for Greenie.

[TransMonk]

Well, nothing not to like about Green. 4 up 4 down...the last 3 on groundouts.

[Fman99]

I love the Conan commercial.
