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

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yes!!! That's two runs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The way Thole is working out, I'm kind of disappointed that we don't have Jesus Feliciano in the lineup.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Batista warming up."

Miguel Batista?

Seriously, I thought he was dead or out of MLB.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Batista is pitching for his ninth team.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

No TV, baby.[/quote:183w9zpc]

Well, we'll just have to paint you some more descriptive word-pictures, like.

Frenchy pretty much did what you expect there-- hack at the first two, extend the AB a bit, then... well... he didn't strike out, so there's that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Millar: "I like the aggressiveness there by Ian."

Same here, Cowboy.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice play by DWright after not coming up with the ball the first time.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, Mets showing off their funderwear, staying with the play like that.

Really, the only difference between the two teams last night was fundies.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dickey pitching for us speaks to the "hater" in me, 'cause he really has a way of making opposing hitters look like assholes. It's fun.

Case in point: Nyjer Morgan, who basically spins around twice chasing strikes before grounding out.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Someone refresh my memory: what exactly was the main issue with Thole's defense, again? The throwing? The "game-calling?" 'Cause he looks pretty damn comfortable back there catching the knuckler, and he's been quick on the foul pops.

Meanwhile, Dickey is keeping it up through four (3 hits allowed, 4 total baserunners).

Good day Mr Strasburg.
Cya, wouldn't wanna........actually,.....I wouldn't mind being you, sir.
Enjoy that shower.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Rats. Tie game. The offense needs to get this back!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Offense taking the second half of the game off.

They're setting up the "Eighth Inning Guy" to get blamed by Jerry when they lose.

[Zvon]

excellent throw by Thole!

No chance tho.

8th inning, still 2-2, Mets.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Alex Cora --- PotSeries!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice tri-boom!!!!

[Zvon]

CORA!CORA!CORA!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Clppard throws hard sliders, which has been David's bugbear.

Now he's set up 1-2.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

D-WRIGHT!!!!!

[Zvon]

YEAAAA!!!

Mr. Wright comes through!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright's getting started on the July Player of the Month also.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Josh Thole, today you become a man.

[Zvon]

THOLE!THOLE!THOLE!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

THOLE!!!!

Hello, Seattle......

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Thole/Toelee/Toli has done it again.



It feels good.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Screw making trades. Be true to your Thole.

They're sending up a lefty against Carter. GIVE US BARAJAS!

[Zvon]

July 3rd: A beautiful Independence Day weekend crowd.
I'm called on to pinch hit.
I'm thinkin' : "ME!!ME!!ME!!"

[Zvon]

July 3rd: Awwwwwwwww. IT IS TATIS!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't understand not spending and removing Tatis from a game when he's your only backup catcher, but going ahead and spending him today when he's your only backup at first, second, third, and short.
