IGT - 8/4/09, Mets vs. Devil Birds

[Valadius]

Let Alfred Hitchcock remind you of the dastardly nature of these creatures.

[Centerfield]

Joel Fucking Piniero.

Let's knock this asswipe in the first. 7 runs, 8 hits, no outs recorded sounds about right to me.

Pass the Scotch

[G-Fafif]

We don't just owe this guy. We Pi�eir-owe him.

[G-Fafif]

Mets have to push the fences back next year. Citi Field plays too much like a bandbox.

[Valadius]

Let's see Johan do something with a bat now.

[Valadius]

And what do you know, he does do something.

[Frayed Knot]

Keith is referring to Muffy as 'Roger Ramjet', an old 1960s cartoon character.
I think I see the resemblance.

[G-Fafif]

Mention of Roger Ramjet always reminds me of Ram Jam.

[Frayed Knot]

Roger Ramjet and his Eagles
Fighting for our freedom
Fly through in and outer space
Not to join him but to beat him.

Roger Ramjet he's our man
Hero of our nation
For his adventure just be sure
And stay tuned to this station.

Come and join us all you kids
For lots of fun and laughter
As Roger Ramjet and his men
Get all the crooks they're after.

Roger Ramjet he's our man
Hero of our nation
For his adventure just be sure
And stay tuned to this station.


I could have recited at least half of this from memory.

G-F: Mets have to push the fences back next year. Citi Field plays too much like a bandbox <<<

I'm glad things have loosened up for the bats. It's been a weird summer
weather wise and there would have been a lot of calls for fence changes
this off-season if no one homered much.

There's gonna be plenty of time for changes, I hope they keep the park
the same for at least three seasons to see how things play out.

[Valadius]

Why have I never heard of Roger Ramjet? And I used to watch the Cartoon Network almost exclusively as a kid.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Has this team given Johan an allergy to run support?

RR goes back a ways. Faded from view by the early '70s.

Ram Jam as portrayed by Mickey Rourke in "The Wrestler" available in DVD and Blu-Ray

[Valadius]

We're roughing up Pineiro. Wow.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

That's some defense right there.

[ashie62]

I credit Transmonk's post about the baseball Prospectus percentage for the Mets making the posting season in 2007 vs. now for the rally

Roger Ramjet would, when in a pickle, take a pill which would give him the strength of 'twenty atoms bombs for twenty seconds'. I used to have philosophical discussions with my sister and father as to whether taking a second pill would give him the strength of forty atom bombs for twenty seconds or twenty atom bombs for forty seconds.

Always seemed to me that that would be an important thing to know.

[ashie62]

Roger Ramjet was "tweaked"

[Frayed Knot]

Nice of Johan to throw up a zero in that last inning.
I hate that give-back stuff.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Roger Ramjet --- like Roger Rocket --- was a serious juicer.

[Frayed Knot]

Yadier's throws are rindoculous.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yadier Molina. Tough to run against.

[Valadius]

I hate this caught stealing shit.

[Guest Kong76]

That's at least two innings Pagan has run the Mets out of?? I'm asking.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I was a little concerned this was gonna turn into the Johan start 2 turns ago, where we SHaMmed pretty well but lost because Johan wasn't as Johanny as usual.

I don't have a big prob running Pagan with 2 out and Castillo up.

[Frayed Knot]

I didn't either.
SBs are always a gamble. His 1st inning gaff when he got a terrible break on a totally un-catchable ball was a bad play.

[Fman99]

Jesus H Tap Dancing Fucking Christ. Castillo blows out some part of his lower body walking down the steps of the dugout.

How is that even right.
