IGT Fish-Fry Thursday: @ Florida, 5/13

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

New ballgame. Let's start a new, good streak in the misbegotten, mosquito-and-shitty-margarita-sodden state that God forgot.

Let's wham, Mets!

You make the sun shine brighter than Jason Bay!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I know tonite's game pits Johan against Josh Johnson, but I don't know much else about thine enemy. Who will enlighten me?

1 Luis Castillo
7 Jose Reyes
44 Jason Bay
5 David Wright
29 Ike Davis
12 Jeff Francoeur
21 Rod Barajas
57 Johan Santana

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, that's not dif.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yes, but what lineup are the Marlins planning to use?

And how have they performed of late?

And what manner of sexual innuendo can be made from their names?

Would that I had more information about these opponents, or-- failing that-- more dick jokes and/or humorous photographs loosely related to said opponents.

[Chad ochoseis]

So, Gary and Keith do the usual game-opening rag on the Marlins' awful defense and, like clockwork, Chris Coughlin makes a diving, hit-saving catch to start the game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

big 2out, 2strike hit for Rod.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That was like a slow-motion replay of a double play, but in real time.

Nicely turned by Ike, however.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dabidrye makes a nice diving play to limit the damage in the third, which itself was helped along by a Johan throwing error on an attempted sac bunt by Josh Johnson.

Defense giveth...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

... and continues to give.

Nice plays by Reyes (on a Ross grounder) and Pagan (going back on a Paulino fly hit over his head) mark a 1-2-3 4th from Jo... which follows one from Josh Johnson. It appears there's some settling-in going on.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That was some quick work by Johnson on the bottom of our order.

I sure hope Cartier gets a start this series.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Johnson tries to field a Reyes grounder barehanded, and it ends up a two-base error.

'Parently, it's a little sting-y. Bay, who's stung it twice in two ABs, is your batter.

[Chad ochoseis]

Two base error, or single plus error? It looked like he would have been safe on first either way.

[Zvon]

Whats all this then?

ooo, i can pick my font color right here in the box?

Whats all this then?

Two-base error is how they see it.

And speaking of seeing, Bay goes down watching a Johnson fastball.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Baywatch: what Jason just did to that last pitch over the plate.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Would you like something to drink as you STFD, Jorge Cantu?

WICKED vintage changeup from Johan strands Ramirez at second, and ends the 6th.

[Zvon]

Charlie Manual's flippant bullshit has awoken this sleeping giant Met fan.
Got the game on the radio.

Oh my, that is a sweet av I got there.
I'll have to change that.
I think I hate this new stadium.

Can't even stay, Fringe at 9.
That show needs undivided attention or
I'll have no idea whats goin on.

But I HAVE RETURNED.
Catch yaz next time in.

[Zvon]

I'll read up at the other board and see if I can figure out what happened over there.

Lock downs are never a good thing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Zvon, good to see your ass.

Call me a child of the school of old, but I might let Johnson bat there.

OE: And Helms flies out. Sweetness.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, I'd've certainly let Santana bat there also.

[Guest Edgy DC]

No hits since the second. Thanks for pulling Johnson, you nut jobs.

[Guest Kong76]

Zvon, you been drinking Milk of Amnesia?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Is Chris Carter over the hill?
