Knuck You, Astros! Mets @ Hous 8/18/10 IGT

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Are we to believe Parnell is really throwing 102?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

102? Really? Really?

[Frayed Knot]

102? Really? Really?

[Methead]

Parnell's pitching like there's a closer's job up for grabs or something. Damn!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I know those guns don't mean much taken literally, but if they did, that 102 was a Met record.

Gotta be.

[batmagadanleadoff]

If there was any proof, I'd bet on Ryan over Parnell for that record.

[Zvon]

Oh SHIT!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fuck me.

[Zvon]

No idea what happened with David. The replay did not show anything, like him coming up lame......

Oh man, I hope this is just a cramp kinda thing.

[Frayed Knot]

You kind of got the feeling after that bases-loaded debacle that this wasn't going to end well.

[Zvon]

Oh, what a SWEET play by Castillo!

Well....
I'm Mr. Positive, but we already got our two runs.
Sad to say but if we outlast them and win, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

And I do think being unprepared for certain situations at the plate HAS to be hung on the hitting coach.
If they are there to do anything, its to remind players of the obvious.

[Frayed Knot]

Just peaked in on an Astros board and folks there are gaping over the 101s and 102s from Parnell, saying they haven't seen readings like that since the days when Wagner was young.
So if that IS a fast gun it's apparently not one that's always fast.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A ninth round draft choice with an ERA near nine his last year in school.

[batmagadanleadoff]

What makes some of you suspect the radar gun's accuracy? Parnell's been hitting 101 and 102 all season long, home and road.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He's hit triple digits maybe two or three times this season. I haven't heard any account of him hitting 102.

I doubt all gun readings.

[Zvon]

I know Ed Kranepool was not a great hitter, but he had real good fundamentals and a nice swing.
As silly as it might sound I would not mind seeing him get with Davis around the cage and talk hitting.

There's a hit
WOOT

[Zvon]

There's no doubt in my mind, for whatever the hell that's worth, that he threw 102 before today, according to the TV reading.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, now I have an account.

Hit a homer, Castillo. NOW!!!!

And if Ike had any sense of Met history, he'd tell Kranepool: "What the hell could someone like you ever teach me about hitting?"

lmao.
You could be correct sir.

[Zvon]

AND I WANT MORE RUNS!

[Zvon]

I can't guarantee it though.
Only the great Lord Lunchbucket has such awsum powers.

That's more or less how the teen-aged Kranepool responded in 1963 when future Hall of Famer Duke Snider tried to give Krane some batting tips. Krane wasn't joking.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Less believable: 102 on the gun, or "Bourgeois"-as-last-name?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Thole gets one for the proletariat!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That was a big gun-out at 2nd

[Zvon]
