Middle-Reliever Swordfight: IGT 5/29, @ MIL

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

12:1 odds that, in the 7th, Jerry accidentally tries to sub Nieve in for Nieve.

Let it snow, and LGM.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Interesting choice of photo there.

Is that what's known as a "snow job"?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I thought it was LWFS way of saying that lastnight's game blows.

This. Plus, you have to admire the craftsmanship.

[Zvon]

It's my theory that the Mets are suffering roadinitis
due to the large number of games they played at home in April.

That is my theory,
and that is what it is..

..and it is MINE.

I do believe these things will balance out.

Hopefully starting tonight.

Another damn uniform (negro leagues?) brought to you by the MLB marketing department. I wish each team had a "home" and a "road" uniform with no alternates or exceptions.

[Guest Kong76]

I like the Negro League tributes from time to time. I also
happen to like the NY Cuban uniforms they're sportin' tonight
and hats off to the guys wearing baggy pants and big socks.

[Theoldmole]

New York Cuban uniforms are neat.

Nieve in a bit of trouble.

OK Eisenhower

[Guest Kong76]

I forgot to say that snow job thing up top was funny.

Freakn' Hart again.

[Zvon]

Damn. Both I and Nieve wanted Nieve to do so well tonight.
I read that article in the Post

I like how we got that run in the 1st. Back to basics again.

But a 2 out granny.....*shakes head

[nymr83]

BUNTING????? just pull Nieve for a pinch hitter there.

[nymr83]

reyes gets one home, 4-2 drunks

[Zvon]

Reyes comes thru with the RBI single.
More fine baseball.

4-2

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You know what sucks? Assuming an 8pm start* and turning it on to see Nieve had coughed up 4 in the first inning; then finding out there were 2 out and nobody on before it all started. Key-riced.

Good thing: It's early.

* - Stupid Milwaukee doesn't even belong in the NL as far as I am concerned.

[nymr83]

another dinger, we want ollie! (no, not really)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hey another run scoring after 2 out, nobody on erasing all the good the O fought for last inning.

[Zvon]

Cripes.
Jerry gave you another inning to settle down...
Nieve does not help his case to be a starter.

Yea, lets see what Ollie can do.
Can't be any worse, unless you consider
walking the runners around the bases worse.
Q that bugs bunny cartoon.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Got the hitting shoes on at least. BIG SPOT for Barajas and Frenchy here.

Here comes the jacket!

[nymr83]

ok i'll take the run for out there. they're WALKING francoeur intentionally?? If Jerry doesn't pinch-hit I'd [crossout:3ftg1hke]shoot[/crossout:3ftg1hke] fire him on the spot.

[Zvon]

Why are catchers so slow?
They have the strongest and most stretched legs on the team.

[nymr83]

gmj????? nooooooo, WHY NOT CARTER?????????

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Walking Frenchy.

GMJ?

[Zvon]

gmj????? nooooooo, WHY NOT CARTER?????????[/quote:31kuq40v]
seriously.
what r we savin him for.
Is he a backup catcher?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jerry would never put in a LHB to PH vs. a LHP

[Zvon]

Why does GMJ even bring a bat up there?

[nymr83]

GMJ strikes out check-swinging, threat over. fire jerry. and get GMJ off the roster
