IGT: Mets at Nats, 6/5/09

[G-Fafif]

Chico Harlan is rooting for Putz to not make it back in time for Friday's game yet not be replaced on the roster. One fewer player to potentially bore him with baseball talk.

Chico Harlan wishes the series was at CF so he could enjoy Shake Shack.

[Fman99]

Chico Harlan loves Nationals Park. It's quiet there and it's the perfect place for him to do his beloved Sudoku puzzles.

The fuck.

[Frayed Knot]

No not Sudoku. Remember that Chico hates baseball because it's not intellectual or cultured enough.
He likes a quiet stadium because it gives him more time to read Proust.

[Frayed Knot]

Now we just have to hope it stops raining in DC.
Considering what they waited through trying to get Wednesday's game in -- in-stadium waterfalls and a near 4-hour wait;
plus what they played through on Thursday -- delayed start for game 1, truncated game 2, and steady and often heavy rain throughout both;
this game could either be played in shitty conditions or not started until midnight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

A quiet, non-vibratory stadium also gives him ample chances to catch up on his Kanji-- he's interested in the characters more than anything. (The nitty-gritty word-by-word? Not as much.)

Forecast for tonight in DC doesn't look too threatening:

="National Weather Service"]Tonight: A chance of rain, mainly before 3am. Cloudy, with a low around 56. North wind between 6 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Gentle misting... does this mean Jeter's coming to the game?

Nice! I'm assuming you mean the applause falling on him like a soft rain?

[nymr83]

come on Bltran, that was STUPID, you dont try and stretch it into three with 2 outs

[nymr83]

yeah BS double for Wright!!

[nymr83]

Murph's fly out gets Wright to 3rd base, 1 out.

[nymr83]

Tatis wa SAFEEE at first but called out by the blind umpire crew. oh well, he got the run in.

He's a Civil War buff, you know.

[Guest Kong76]

Keith's pretty eccentric in the booth for a stud first baseman.

[metirish]

Second and third with no outs and the Mets don't score . On the plus side Redding looks good

[Guest themetfairy]

Shit! After four good innings, Redding suddenly remembered that he sucks....

[seawolf17]

Tim Redding can haz double play?

[seawolf17]

Ooh, and just like that! Nice!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Beautiful...Beltran and Wright thrown out at third. Ugh!

Time to remove your collective heads from your arses, boys.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This is the inning of the foulout. One to third. One to first. Next one to catcher.

[ashie62]

Leadoff runner on..Tatis shakes it off

[ashie62]

Emil, not the son of Gates, Brown

[seawolf17]

Okay, Gary, this would be the time to jack the crap out of one.

(Unless they're going to switch him for a lefty here as they bring in MacDougal.)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

E-mail Brown is a big fella, isn't he.

[Guest Kong76]

A62: Tatis shakes it off <<<

I wasn't watching, what did he shake off?

[Guest Kong76]

McDougal (sp?) throwing some filth.

Took a fastball on the backbone.
