IGT, 9 April 2010, Nationals at Mets

What wind?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

French Toast for all!

[TransMonk]

I don't care what anyone says...I like Frenchy.

[Piggiestomatoes]

WOW! Four dingers. Frenchy and Barajas x2. Nice. After Pelfrey let those first two runs in, I had the pit in my tummy that visited often last season. Have to keep reminding myself, it's not 2009.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

SNY guys thought it was gone. Keith couldn't say anything but:

"I was already marking it in my scorecard as a home run...I didn't even see it hit the wall."[/quote:17tsleli]

They'd already put the HR graphic on the screen.

[Frayed Knot]

Young Ruben certainly looks smooth enough on defense. Tonight's probably the last we'll see of him for a while but that's all for the best for now.
Be nice if he could sneak in a hit before he goes.

John Sickels had some nice stuff to say about him today in a section on SS "sleeper" candidates: iow, guys too young or without enough of a track record to get a high grade yet


JS: Ruben Tejeda - Mets, 20 years old -- hit .289/.351/.381 with 19 steals for Double-A Binghamton. Good defender, makes contact, could draw more walks eventually. I like this guy quite a bit and he has significant breakout potential.

Happy to start an IGT for a game that's going so well, enjoyed the taters. Nieve works around a walk, middle 8th.

[Frayed Knot]

There ya go kid!

[Fman99]

First MLB hit for Tejada, nice for him to get that before he gets sent to Buffalo.

It's make it, take it in 2010: Start the next game anytime after the last, assign it to a fellow forumite if you can't be there for it. Edgy's keeping score, prize for the winner after the year.

[metirish]

Obviously a fun game tonight , great to see the kid get his first hit , who knows if he'll be here after Reyes is back tomorrow.

[TransMonk]

So that's four games and three perfectly acceptable starts from our "sub-par" rotation.

I'll be pulling for Ollie tomorrow.

Jerry making clear in the postgame that hitting four homers sends a message to the team that they don't have to manufacture every run.

I prefer that it sends that message to him, but I salute the message.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Pelf turns it on after a shaky start. More Rod-slamming and Frenching than a hotel's adult-pay-per-view selection. Smoove gloving from Sammich Tejada and Alex Friggin' Cora.

I laughed, I cried, it was better than the last two games. Four stars!

[Gwreck]

It was *miserable* in the wind tonight but that meant a very short line at the Shake Shack, so I guess that's something.

Wright not running hard was pretty inexcusable. I would've liked to see Jerry argue more for a video replay but I didn't have a great angle on the ball when it hit the wall.

also good play by our bullpen

[Guest Edgy DC]

Howie referenced this sign in the post game.[/quote:xodxourr]
And so Edgy referenced Howie.

Wright not running hard was pretty inexcusable. [/quote:269oaso8]


And totally glossed over in the booth...of course the three of them thought it was gone too and Cohen was doing his home run call.(I thought it was gone as well and was doing my home run dance in my living room)

Hit about mid-way up the wall, not really all that close to going out.
That Jerry put in as much argument as he did was more than the situation warranted and I'm sure the ump(s) told him right off that there was no need to even consult the magic machine.

D-Dad, Kase, KB and I watched the game from an Empire Suite because we attended the Gary, Keith and Ron Foundation function. It was a good night to be in a suite, and a fun game to watch
