Gay Dame IGT 9/3/09: The Thole Grail has Arrived

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm only about 3.5 months younger than Thole. Eerie.[/quote:lnnkbl69]

Before you know it you'll be older than all of them.

It happens faster than you can imagine.

Mets on active roster older than me: Dessens, Sheffield, Takahashi. That's it.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I think the last major leaguer that was older than me was Eppa Rixey.

Listening to WFAN as I head down Rte 8 to Bridgeport, and Josh Thole's mom - right behind the dugout, with his dad and two ofhis old coaches - almost drowned out Wayne and Howie when he got that hit. Sounded like she was the only fan in the park.

Kinda brought a tear to my eye, actually.

Thole lines out in his second turn.

[HahnSolo]

Didn't Evans have a really big first game last year, also at Coors Field?

[metirish]

Three doubles or something like that

[ashie62]

Tholy Moly..nice to see him up.

Nice to see David not looking like the great Gazoo..I'm sure the MFY crowd had a bit of fun with the helmet of the future on the Mets best player

[Benjamin Grimm]

I see that Thole was born on October 28, 1986. (One day after Jon Niese.)

Would that have been the day of the parade?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yup.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hey how about them Mets? Knocked out that YLDB Marquis already and Misch is hurling a 2-hit shutout.

So far.

[metirish]

The score is

Mets 5
Rockies 0

[Benjamin Grimm]

What's Jerry waiting for? He's long overdue to turn it over to an exhausted Brian Stokes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thole is slumping.

I always knew it was too soon to bring him up. Now we can't even trade him anymore

[Frayed Knot]

What's that for Misch now, like 1 run on about 7 hits over 13 IPs as a starter?

I ain't Misching you at all.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm a mischanthrope.

[Frayed Knot]

Right wrobbed by CFer Gonzalez.
The only surprising part is that Pagan knew enough to tag and score rather than leaving early and being halfway home by the time of the catch.

6-0

[Benjamin Grimm]

Rooting for Misch to get a CG/ShO.

[Farmer Ted]

He's MISCHievous on the mound. First MLB win in sight. Hopin'.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

A Misch is as good as a Mile High.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Rooting for Misch to get a CG/ShO.[/quote:uv4eo0b1]

So much for that.

[Frayed Knot]

I think at this point he'd settle for the ol 'W'
Not only is he winless in his ML career but his [u:3g53g9f1]team[/u:3g53g9f1] is winless in his 12 starts. He took 5 losses and 7 No-Decisions in those 12.

[Farmer Ted]

All but one of those games were with SF. Freaking Bonds provided zero offense for the boy. Bonds, totally unreliable.

Jerry hooking Misch. Give that boy a hand, and a Schaefer.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Who are these players and what have they done with the Mets!

Great game from Misch!

[Guest holychicken]

I am impressed that Jerry didn't immediately hook Misch after the two homers and then use 4 relievers to finish the inning.

[Farmer Ted]

Holy Thole.

[ashie62]

We wish you well young Tholes

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single oy

[Guest themetfairy]

Congratulations to Pat Misch on his first Major League win and Josh Thole on his Major League debut.

[Frayed Knot]

Muffy screws Frankie out of another save opp. -- good for him.
