IGT #40, Mets at Dodgers, 5/20/09

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Muffy!

[Fman99]

Look at little Mex out there at 1st! That was big.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Murphy is a first base BEAST!!!

[Guest GYC]

Daniel Murphy's defense FTW. Go figure.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I figured all along.

I'm just checking in now having taken a night off for a trip to see the Bucs/Nats (don't ask).

How you like my firstbaseman?

He's Mini-Mex� out there.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Some props to Livan so far.

Indeed. Fifth starter keeping his team in the game, nothing not to like.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

They just said he's only thrown 60 pitches so far. Maybe he can go another couple to give the pen some rest, and be around for when the Mets pull ahead!

[Fman99]

Although I suppose Livan is our #4 what with Redding only having made one start so far this year.

God damn, Ollie, where are thou? Not that you've had one start this good yet in 2009...

All he does is throw strikes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

What's that --- 75 pitches?

Let him hit this inning. Please. I was right about Murphy, Jerry, so trust me on this.

[Fman99]

Two out single for Livan and the pasty Ramon Martinez at the dish.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

That Slomins commercial would be way better if, instead of leaving, the installer came walking out of the house at the end.

[Fman99]

Julie Alexandria says in her promo for whatever SNY show she does, "I'm exhausted just thinking about it."

So am I, Julie.

[Fman99]

Wow. A camera view of Howie and Wayne. I've never seen Wayne on camera before.

He looks like a fatter, blonder, fistier version of Howie Rose. They could be siblings actually.

Creepy.

[Fman99]

Parnell getting lose in the pen. Livan up to 80 pitches with two down in the 7th.

For God sakes, Jerry. Leave him in there.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Just got home-- where the hell's Jose X 4? How's Livan still in? And why don't I have a Presidente in my hand yet?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Cuban smoke!

1) Hurt
2) He's the shit tonight
3) Maybe you could bum a PBR from J. L'bucket

[Zvon]

Any details on the Reyes injury?

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta do something this inning.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Haven't heard about Reyes, but the sleep deprivation is causing sketchy short-term memory.

1) Shit. Trauma or strain?
2) So I gather. Bully-- I do so love a good game of frisbee!
3) Only if it's ice-cold, or alongside a shot of Beam or something smokier. But yeah, I'm appropriately beered.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Walk party!

Bunt not.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Time for Murph to prove he's more than just a good field-no hit guy.

[Frayed Knot]

I woulda preferred a hit there, but I'll take it.
Nice that Beltran tagged to take away the GiDP possibility.

And here comes the LHP, let's see if Murphy is still around when the commercial's over.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Leach is in, time for some bloodletting.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Uh, dammit.

Church being PH for again.
