IGT 05/16, Mets at Fishsticks

Joined in late today.

Is there a reason the crowd's booing, or is that just what this stadium sounds like, ambient-noise-wise, when it's empty during a gay dame?

And fucking fantastic-- SARGE stays in right.[/quote:59mmk1ke]

And he delivers a broken-bat squib that crawls through the infield like a garter snake that just swallowed a volleyball. No matter, back to a three-run deficit with two aboard.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And there it'll stay... for now.

Anything can happen, though-- Bay and Wright are due to strike out next inning.

On the positive side, Jason Kubel just Grand-Slammed Mariano's ass to cap off a 5-run Twinkies 8th.
Now 6-3 Minnesota as they look for their first win at Yanqui Stadium since, I believe, early in Nixon's first term.

Frankie in to get some work. (And, 'cause, whenever you can nudge your "closer" closer to his automatic vesting option in a meaningless game, you have to take that shot, y'know?)

His barber should do the same. People complaining about the RyeBeard-- THIS is what a terrible beard looks like.

[Guest Kong76]

Who knew Bay was a triples machine!?!

[Fman99]

Getting swept in Florida, followed by another Jeter Ford commercial?

Thanks - I'm going to go set myself on fire now.

[Zvon]

oy vay.

Really trivial trivia:

I noticed that the winning pitcher, the losing pitcher, and the pitcher who got the save in this game all had last naems starting with the same letter. This is only the 13th time in Mets history that this has happened! And the first time that the letter in question was the letter N.

Scarce-Seaver-Selma

That's crazy. I never knew Selma was a Philly, or would have guessed that Scarce would have beaten Seaver.
