IGT 7/3/10 NYM @ WAS: Strasurday in Nats Park

[G-Fafif]

May it be a very Dickey day for all concerned.

[Guest Kong76]

Strasurday, in the park
We think it is the third of July
Pitcher's balking, Mets fans laughing
Edgy's eating ice cream
Ike hits a three run dong
Eicay vare, eise narde **
Can Ike hit it (yes, he can)
And we've been waiting such a short time
Beat Stasurday

(** -- what the fuh is Eicay vare, eise narde?)

Very nice Kase

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Indeed.

And here's more fun science-y sports stuff from the Paper O' Record, about what goes into Strasburg's 100-plus-mph fearballs, physically speaking.

Given a lazy Sunday to fill, I'd crack a spy thriller or watch an action yarn called "Magnus Force."

Koosman is a better flavor of ice cream than Strasburg.

METS!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nat's lineup hitting 2-11, .189 against the Dickster, with no homers.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

How was there no interference call on that play?

1st inning....
BAY WITH THE BIG RBI DOUBLE!

[Frayed Knot]

I just tuned in - who's the colorman teamed with Buck?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

And we get a run off the wonderboy!

[Zvon]

Strasburg pitching like Nolan Ryan....................................................in 1968.

[Frayed Knot]

Making this sucker work on a hot day.

[Frayed Knot]

Strasburg's (up to now) lack of walks has been the biggest surprise for me so far in his young career.

[Zvon]

Could you imaging having a Stras pitch thrown over your head like Frency had there?
I shit my pants and I'm sittin here safe at home.

[Zvon]

Mets take the field.

DICKEY WILL RISE TO THE OCCASION!

A theoretical team full of Tholes-- contact dudes who have the patience/skill to foul off virtually anything-- would kick the living shit out of him.

Unfortunately, we've got more than our share of Frenchies and Throbs on the squad.

I was thinking the same thing, that I liked Thole in there a helluva better than Frenchie against that big moose ... although credit to Jeff for staying in on the pitch after that haircut.

Fair enough.

The Nats do seem to have the Dabidrye scouting report drilled into all their pitchers, don't they? (I have a feeling Strasburg has his way with the big guy today.)

Speaking of hair... I see that Young Padawan has chosen to go with My First Facial Hair/Phils-Merkin, beard-wise. That's unfortunate.

Unfortunate, like the fact that Jose Reyes appears to be in the running for shittiest-bunter-on-the-team honors.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Friendly ump.

Dickey should hold out for a few hours today.

Yeah, I'm a six-year-old.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We're sorry. Due to Major League Baseball exclusivities, live games occurring each Saturday with a scheduled start time after 1:10 PM ET or before 7:05 PM ET and each Sunday with a scheduled statrt time after 5:00 PM ET will be blacked out in the United States (including the territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

No, no, because I was, I was...

Live Audio of this game is available as part of your MLB.TV subscription.

OK, I'll set the building on fire.

Millar, is it?

No FOX, Edgeward?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wonderboy is on a strict pitch count, and went through 37 in the first inning. The sooner they get him to 100, the sooner they can feast on the soft white underbelly that is the Nats pen!

[Guest Edgy DC]

No TV, baby.
