IGT - 4/5/11 Mets at Phillies

[Centerfield]

VS.

[TransMonk]

I like Young's chances...at least based on the pics above.

Tiny Hamil seems to be looking up into Giant Young's eyes. Priceless!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Tiny, pretty lady looks up at bigger opponent.

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Well done!

[Guest Edgy DC]

My instinct says that Dorothy Hamill is the taller one there. At least in the skates.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Not in the mind's eye, brother.

[ashie62]

I'm predicting a vicious assault on the Phillies..

A lot riding on MFP games in '11: I have a new colleague at work--a 28 year old MFP fan. In her office next door, she displays a MFP towel/flag and a MFP Mr. Potato Head. Today she said "at least you get Joe Blanton" as if that's the only game that the Mets have even a chance to win.

Baseball is a humbling game.

Ask her who the Opening Day starter was in '04, or '06. Hell, '07.

Y'know what? Ask SuperPhan who the closer is right now. I'd say it's 50-50 she knows.

[Ceetar]

Reyes-SS, Pagan-CF, Wright-3B, Beltran-RF, Hairston-LF, Davis-1B, Emaus-2B, Nickeas-C, Young-RHP

RESOLVED: That Mike Nickeas is best left mounted on the dugout wall, in a "Break Glass In Case of Emergency" plexi-shield.

[Ceetar]

in absense of any roster changes (Paulino..stocking up on iron?), Young will be the last new Met for a bit.

Specially with Beltran needing the DGANG rest. I like how it isn't even a consideration with Word Up Thole.

I think Scott's gonna get Hairy tonight.

[Ceetar]

Beltran has good numbers against Halladay, and you want him starting on Friday, so really this means he should get off tomorrow.

Per the theory on deep-fried masculinity, that guy's got a ton of Hairs.

I wasn't saying that and now I'd prefer not to think about it.

[Ceetar]

Victorino CF, Polanco 3B, J Roll SS, Howard 1B, Ibanez LF, Francisco RF, Ruiz C, Valdez 2B, Hamels

[Willets Point]

You think by now that someone would have made Cole Hamels Hummels.

[Guest Edgy DC]

You think by now that someone would have made J-Roll Jelly Rolls.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Keep that in mind for next year, when he's the Mets shortstop.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He wishes.

I'm pretty sure....no, wait, I'm 100% sure that I'll never be using that name for him.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Headed out to watch this one with the Maple Street contributors and maybe a few others at the former Bobby Vee's. If you plan on visiting Corona tonight (and who wouldn't on a cold rainy Tuesday?) be sure to stop in and have an adult beverage.

PS who was the relief pitcher whose car was stolen at the lot? Ayala?
