[Zvon]

Dicky doubles him in!
*Zvon collapses*

[nymr83]

DICKEY!!!

[Guest Kong76]

RA doing it all!

[Zvon]

With Dickey on the hill,
two runs are nice but still,

...MORE PLEASE.

[Zvon]

Ya know, Ike kinda reminds me of the great Ed Kranepool himself, the way he swings and the way he lumbers down the line.
Gonna enjoy watching him progress.


I hope.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

What's with Dickey giving up all these hits? This is, like, five more than last game. Slacker.



Loving this guy!

[Zvon]

Shoot.
Anybody up in the pen?

Not Hunter Pence!

[Zvon]

NICE!
Hunter won't be beatin us tonight.
Well, in that at-bat.

Come on Dickey, close the door.

WOW.
That story about Nelson Figueroa is amazing and yes, very scary.
I did not know that stuff about his problem, or that he had a possible injury.
If they mentioned it last night I missed it cuz I couldn't watch 100% of the game.
wow.[/quote:3n2v9q5s]

I'm coming in late tonight - what story?

Figgy called Minaya a douchebag and then mocked the Mets for dumping him instead of Ollie. Then he fell down and hurt his nose, but pitched anyway because he hates the Mets so much.

I don't want to get the facts wrong on that so I'll look for an article that would be more factual than my explanation.

But in a nutshell Fig was suffering from migraine-like symptoms and it is possible that he has (i think they said) a sheared nerve in his head.
He needed two injections in his neck before the game yesterday to block the nerve.

That's some serious stuff.

I can't find anything online that is up to date about this.
As always, your welcome TMF

If Dickey pitches a complete 9th inning, he will qualify for the ERA title (until tomorrow's game).

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So who's this Jerry Manuel-looking guy managing the team in the late innings these days?

[ashie62]

Dickey in the 9th!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, lucky fucksticks.

Blumpkin

[Guest themetfairy]

Crap - tie game

[Guest Kong76]

"no decision for Dickey tonight" -- the booth

I mean, the quotes are at least kind of amusing in this season from hell.

[batmagadanleadoff]

How many here would charge that run to Jerry's ERA? Honestly.

[Zvon]

oooh, dang it, Dickey just went limp

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Didn't mind the call.

I honestly wouldn't.

Look at it this way: he just brought his closer into a tie game on the road.

Learn, Jerry, learn!

[Guest Kong76]

We have a closer again?

[Guest themetfairy]

Takahashi has squatted the position.

[Zvon]

I'm curious about Tak.
I remember, almost every time he took the mound, in any role, how he would be very successful the first time through the lineup.

My question would be, in all of his appearances, starting, relieving, whatever, how did he do in the first inning he pitched.
How did he do against those first 3 batters.

If someone comes up with this stat I'll do a backflip in my chair
I mean for real mags
