IGT, Friday 8/7/09 Mets v. Padres

[Valadius]

[Frayed Knot]

Gary & Ron's "eulogy" was triggered by Burkhardt having filmed a kind of 'Day in the Life of Jerry' feature this afternoon.

Turned the game on last inning and it sounded as if Gary and Ron were eulogizing Manuel. Speaking to his humanity throughout all of this year's ordeals, etc. I'd half expected to hear that he'd been canned. Caught a ride home from a co-worker with a Francesa habit. Ol' No-SugarTits was doing his weekly interview with Manuel... and he couldn't stop praising the guy for "not losing (his) sense of humor" and "proving (his) character." He sounded like a schoolgirl with neckfat. Whatever he's got, it must be exotic.

Almost sounds like the Wilpon's or Jay H. distributed new talking points today.

Hey, Eckstein actually got hit by a pitch without purposefully leaning into it.

[Fman99]

Ollie cruising through 4 innings, one hit. It's like he's a pitcher or something.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If MLB were a prison, Kevin Correia would have a "DW" branded on those sweet, new-meat cheeks.

[Fman99]

David 3-3 tonight, 9-11 off Corriea lifetime. Bing!

What a creepy and awesome thing to say.

[Fman99]

Ollie sets Bill Brasky down looking.

And so it continues.

[Fman99]

God, I wish I could go bowling with some cavemen.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Venable pops up to Pagan, and Ollie has one more 1-2-3 for Old Nas-sau.

[Guest Edgy DC]

If Ollie can keep his pitches in the strike zone tonight, maybe Francoeur can keep his bat there.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Can't remember the last time the Schneid had a hit.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Are they getting bored? Or just feeling helpful?

'Cause I can't think of another reason why Met batters have been swinging at everything the last three innings, when going the other route got 'em 6 hits and 2 runs.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"WHOA! Check out that outfield! It's HUUUUUUGE!"

[Valadius]

Schneider is perilously close to the Mendoza line.

I say his usefulness has run its course.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ollie takes down Evereth... becauthe he ith there.

7 Ks, 1 hit through six.

Rickey coming to the booth!

[Fman99]

I stayed up for the Rickey interview. Here we go.

And no walks.

SIgnificant!

[Fman99]

Darling and Rickey were teammates for five years in Oakland.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The Met bats got a little excited earlier. They're taking a nap now.

Ollie rocking and dealing. Stretch that shit out.



Had no idea there was a video for this... much less one so gorgeously of its time.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

let's turn 3

Pagan needs work on that shot over his head. Second time this week he's pulled a Hundley out there.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yeah.

Hey, guys who were anointing him as Beltran-lite in CF? He's not. Not remotely.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Brian Stokes pisses on your poor, sunbleached-excuse-for-a-rally.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Stokely-dokely!

[Guest Edgy DC]

There's still some heroism on this team.

Not enough, maybe, but there it is.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Creepy Sun Baby likes the weather, but hates the insecurity.



Insure-runs, please.
