NY Now Hosts NY Then -- IGT 5/7/2010

[G-Fafif]

I carry a torch for the New York Giants. But I carry a pitchfork for the San Francisco Giants. May the home team take one to Jonathan Sanchez early and often.

[TransMonk]

It's going to be a long 50 hours.

[Centerfield]

I was just going to say that.

Why is

underlined?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

SI was very overdesigned in that era, if the gigantic logo doesn't give it away (and it may still be). They also unnecessarily used boldface in headlines, irritaterd the crap out of me.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Four Amazin' Mets is also underlined inexplicably.

Hey, Sports Illustrated: Underscoring became obsolete about 1988.

[Centerfield]

Maybe it's a hyperlink. Try clicking it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Happy day. Baseball is back.

So, who anticipates another lineup shakeup tonight? Maybe at least bumping Wright ahead of Bay again.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'd like to see this one out there to-nite:

Castillo
Davis
Reyes
Wright
Bay
Francoeur
Pagan
Throbbing Steel-hard Rod Barajas
Pelfrey

But it ain't gonna happen.

I've been betting on a roster shakeup, so we'll see.

Throbbing Steel-hard Rod Barajas[/quote:hhsof0y3]
Don't know how that one got left off Greg's nickname list, because that's a winner. Can we call him "Throb"?

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's the sort of nickname that put an end to Banner Day.

As well as the first Mrs. Barajas.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Piston?"

SWANNY: Davis second... against Sanchez? A little sink-or-swim there for the young lefty, no?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

He seems to hang in well enough, and he takes enough pitches that if Castillo is looking to steal he can have a chance. Pagan is not getting on base enough to be on top of the lineup.

Of course, the likelihood that Castillo hits anywhere but two is small, but I think this would work.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How bout this?:

[TransMonk]

I'm actually kind of suprised that Barajas is getting the start over Blanco.

And that GMJ didn't find his way into the lineup.

I need some baseball!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I also could use a drink.

Spare Bay or Spay Bay

[DocTee]

That's alot of pine tar on Rowand's bat.

He reminds me of Ron "Penguin" Cey, no?

[Theoldmole]

Castillo sparkling at second after two days off.

[DocTee]

R-Bay-I for Jason

[Theoldmole]

You cannot pitch Jason Bay belt-high.

[DocTee]

Back-to-back. Pelf best not swing at the next offering.
