Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 This is a true story: Junior Lunchpail's best little pals are named Koji and Redding, just like tonight's opposing starters.Redding is a chick, but she's named after Otis, not Tim.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Cora - ssMartinez - lfBeltran - cfWright - 3bChurch - rfSheffield - dhMurphy - 1bSchneider - cCastillo - 2bRedding - spI like the symmetry there with junior Lunchpail, a wining symmetry I believe.

I'm thinking of naming my first kid Weiner or Lipschitz.
Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 That settles it. I'm naming my kid "Hagar."
Guest Swan Swan H Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Saltalamacchia Schwartz. Kranepool McGee. Wockenfuss Marino. The possibilities from baseball alone are endless.

Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I should add that Koji is not Japanese.Parents today are batshit crazy, I should know.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 A lot of rain down there apparently , although Lennon reports that the tarp is coming off
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 ="John Cougar Lunchbucket"]I should add that Koji is not Japanese.Parents today are batshit crazy, I should know.Nah, that's just a heapin' helping of pretension (and 21st-Century Orientalism). Batshit would be actively trying to make the kid Japanese.Still, though, pretty funny. (Grew up with a Yuki myself that was whiter than Tom Cruise's teeth.)
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Y'mean Kobe Bryant isn't Japanese either?!?

ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Lets hope the Redding Line has the Express going
Guest Kong76 Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Nice stuff by Kevin B getting Boog Powell last night and Palmer tonight talkingabout the '69 World Series in the pre-games.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Big trip here for Cora. Sacks juicy, 1 out.
Piggiestomatoes Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 What's a professional hitter. Yeeha, Cora!
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Jerry yanks the Fart after he destroyed a double in his last turn, going with Tatis vs the left Hendrickson.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Tatis makes Jerry look stoopit.
Guest metsguyinmichigan Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Grrrr. Double plays with bases loaded and one out are horrible.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I think Jerry's overdoing the switch thing here -- as Parnell was cruising along but gets pulled for a lefty/righty deal.Meanwhile we've still got this innings plus two more after this (and maybe extras) to cover and both Green & Rodriguez were heavily used last night.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 That the switch didn't work is just an extra kick in the nads.
Guest Kong76 Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Holy crap play by Cora, you'll be seeing that one all week.
Piggiestomatoes Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Another Stokes sighting. Fingers crossed for tonight's performance.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Great play by Cora.I think Jerry wanted to be careful to get Parnell a good outing but Feliciano can't be money every time.Same with David Wright I guess. Boy is he having a rotten time at the plate tonight.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I suppose that in a tie game you've got to look for every edge you can get ... but I thought that one smacked of desperation where it wasn't needed even before he did it and left him with little in reserve if/when things went wrong.
Piggiestomatoes Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Nice swing, Sheff. Let's go young Daniel.On a side note, I'm watching the O's feed tonight and Thorne/Palmer are probably the best non-Mets local announcers I've heard all season. I'll always remember Bob Murphy and Thorne from '86.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Gotta hold them here and hope the top of the lineup gets it done in the 9thBeltran & Wright can't suck all night, can they?
