IGT 5/26/09 - Nationals v. Mets -Fernando Martinez in lineup

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fuck trouble. Livan is gonna bat!

[Fman99]

Are starters even allowed to pitch in the 9th inning?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

They should have a little name for it when a pitcher pitches all nine innings. Maybe a Whole Game, or an Entire Game. A Total Game? Nah.

Wait, Gary just called it a Complete Game. Clever! I think that might stick.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think it's a Cuban thing.

[Guest Triple Dee]

Hey can somebody clue me in as to what number Fartinez is wearing?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

He's in 26, and Wilson Valdez is in 4.

[Guest Triple Dee]

Great thanks, now if only I could remember what number I entered in the MBTN competition......or even what 1st prize was.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Just getting here! Go Livan!

A Cadillac Eldorado. Second prize - a set of steak knives.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Sweet!

Livan's turned out better than I thought he would. Apologies, Livan.

Nice reference...

Great line. Great movie.

Nice job, Livan.

That's what he said.

Creepy awesome sun baby loves the Quad-A Mets and the Washington Doormats, er, Nationals.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I didn't know Manuel had it in him to let a pitcher pitch past the 7th inning. I thought there was a rule or something. Nice of Livan to give the pen a break.

I hope Livan is thirsty because I see a fair amount of Schaeffer coming his way.

[Frayed Knot]

Phillies leading 5-0 into the 9th ... but now it's 5-2, and it's gotten so bad that they're even going to bring Lidge into the game!!!!!

And he walks the first batter to load the bases ... stay tuned

[Frayed Knot]

Lidge gets Hermida on a groundout but a run scores.
2 outs but the Marlins have the tying runs in scoring position.
Ex-Philly Wes Helms up

[Frayed Knot]

And Helms strikes out so the Phils hang on, both to the game and to their 1/2 game lead in the east.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I think we should celebrate with a slice of Cake.

A "Major Award"

Somebody informed me the voting part of it doesn;t work anyhow. Nobody had the right answer!

However, I'm not sure it'll be 26 to stay.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Next person to post that baby gets such a pinch.

Not a lie , for years that song would pop into my head and I could never think who's song it was. About five years ago a guy in a record store was trying to ask me about this song...he was humming it to me....I told him it was Ministry .....


Swanie rocks

I would have settled for "An Evening with John Cougar Lunchbucket".

It was a great game to attend. It made me stop resenting the Tuesday is Sunday at Citi Field aspect of things (i.e., the game was part of my Sunday plan).

Also, a caffeinated Dan Iassogna-- when not issuing pointless, ineffectual bench warnings for offspeed brushback pitches-- punched the air on called strikes like an anime character in pads. So, you know, trivial fun to be had there.



(BTW: Sorry I missed you, TMF. Was delayed getting in-- long story.)
