IGT--Braves @ Mets, 07/09/10

The midseason showdown is upon us.

LETS!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Division-race implications aside, I'm not terribly eager to witness a Hanson-Dickey episode.

When I was younger, and more open to strange, new things... maybe. Or maybe if both were on our team, it would be easier and less awkward to derive enjoyment from such a setup. But now, now I could kind of do without watching a somebody else's Hanson-our Dickey kinda thing. That could be sort of painful... damaging, even.

Oh, and

Crap.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This thread would be a crime if only because it started on your own losing streak.

We need a merge!

[bmfc1]

Merge away and we'll pretend that this thread didn't happen.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Attachment surger successful.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Whew, we saved the season.

Now we need to collaborate on a KTE.

[metirish]

WOW, Fman bails on a KTE that has some Cox in it...

Pagan CF
Reyes SS
Wright 3B
Davis 1B
Bay LF
Thole C
Francoeur RF
Tejada 2B
Dickey P

Yup, Reyes listed batting second.

[Frayed Knot]

I wonder if that's because it gives him the option to bunt as often as possible instead of either swinging lefty or looking bad righty-on-righty

Why not? Pagan's batting and on-basing higher than Reyes.

What's 3BG? A typo? Or something I'm not gettting? I hope it's something good.

Now you've ruined the surprise and I have to remove the "G".

[batmagadanleadoff]

What's the surprise. My surprise party for my birthday today?

[TransMonk]

Reyes batting righty vs. a righty is a waste of a lineup spot. Better it be the second spot than the leadoff spot.

[Willets Point]

Jose Reyes last started a game in the second position in the batting order on June 22, 2005 at Philadelphia. (via Twitter)

This is why I come here.
For the people who's brains still work and can tell me the whys and the wherefores.

Am I over reacting when I say this is the most important game of the year?
And if not so, why so and wherefore.....so?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I would love to see Reyes have a great game and stick in that two-hole the rest of the year, I tell you what.

Because the other guys are in first, and the next game is always the most important game of the year so far.

Chipper scratched. Damn.

Would it be proper to applaud here?

As long as you are not standing.

Out of NY Mets fans: if you have MLB Network, you get the SNY feed of this game.
