IGT 4/11/09: Unseen 1st Inning & Then Some (NYM @ FLA)

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I think Keith just coined Livan's Met nickname right there:

Livan "Dangerously" Hernandez? (It works when he's working... or not.)

I'm sorry. I'll never do it again.

[ashie62]

Do they calculate Runs left is scoring Position by unaggresive third base coaches who can't remember there are 2 outs?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Dramatic today? Alas, poor batting average with runners in scoring position, I knew it well.

Jose Jose Jose Jose
Jose
Jose!

[G-Fafif]

Ka-ZAY!

[duan]

plenty of hits with RISP tonight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Keith makes an interesting point: Murph's swing = Pete Rose's swing? (Never saw it before... but I definitely see it now.)

[batmagadanleadoff]

This is a nice sign. Of all the Mets that may reasonably be expected to have a huge impact this season, Delgado entered the season as the biggest questionmark. He doesn't look like a questionmark so far. No question.

[G-Fafif]

Mex invokes the "when I was playing card" to suggest Johan '09 = Doc '85 and a chance to take series.

To which I say, shush Keith, this one ain't yet nearly in the kip.

Cameron Maybin: Public Enemy No. 1.

[seawolf17]

Did Cameron Maybin just hurt Jose Reyes? Someone take him out.

[G-Fafif]

Ryan takes his marching orders from Wolfie!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Church REALLY can't handle lefties-- obviously, Tatis would've homered right there. Sheffield would've homered twice.

(Maybe Manuel saw something in Church's psych profile that suggested fucking with him publicly would be a good idea.)

[Guest Kong76]

Who's this Castillo guy?

[G-Fafif]

Television cameras, when turned on and beaming signals in the first inning, obviously steal Luis Castillo's soul. He plays much better in games that aren't all that televised.

Dunno, but he hits everything, no? Someone oughta lock him down long-term.

God, I love his intangibles. And his tangibles ain't so bad tonight.

To Maybin's credit, he showed some actual concern for Jose after the play.

Who is playing the post-game concert?

edit: Post-Game Concert with Pitbull, Flo Rida, and DJ Laz / Fireworks

[Guest Kong76]

Just want to throw some WOW Livan's way ... nice outing, have some Schaefer!

[G-Fafif]

I am no longer Stoked about Brian.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

When did Willie Randolph grow a goatee?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm thinking if we all chip in a buck or two and buy out Emilio Bonifacio's contract, we could save all of Metdom a whole lot of tsuris this year.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Castillo goes Moses Malone tonight: Fo Fo Fo.

EDIT: Tree Fo Fo. (Belatedly changed. Fickle scorer.)

RE-EDIT: Tree Fo Tree (Sacrifice-plus-error). NOW, in the ninth, Fo Fo Fo.

"Murphy takes third on the play"

listening via GameDay audio (free)

WAXY in Miami

checking in ....

[apmorris]

was it something I'd said?

[Theoldmole]

Miami's station is named WAXY?

[Guest Kong76]

Castillo 4-4, almost 5-5

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So... Schneider's reflexes are operable, then?
