IGT 4/8/2011: WAS @ NYM -- Welcome to Dicki Field

[G-Fafif]

Shake it off, get it going, make your best Dickeyface.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I've been involuntarily making my best Dickeyface for the last 90 minutes.

But, yeah, let's pick it up. Bobbleheads, y'all!

What it means to the man

[Willets Point]

Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a Dickey face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a Dickey face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style;
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!

[Ceetar]

why yes, I'll be at the back of section 511, why do you ask?

What's with them going Zimmerman-less?
Or, maybe more importantly, how about the fact that they lose a Zimmerman and come up with a Dylan as a replacement?
Shirley Gammons has got to be all over this one before the day is out.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Emaus back to 68?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Probably more like a new clubbie working off an outdated roster.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Charlie Samuels wouldn't have let that happen! (Unless he had already sold the EMAUS 4 sign on eBay, of course.)

[bmfc1]

SS--nice job with Bob Dylan, or should I say Robert Zimmerman.

[bmfc1]

I'll give credit to Nationals TV--they showed a tape of Ralph throwing out the 1st pitch. I thought that they'd ignore anything Mets-related.

[metirish]

Damn , this game is starting?......I assumed it was a night game....missing all the intros....shit.

[bmfc1]

Phew!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

1st pitch pins harris to the fence.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Somebody unpin him!

[bmfc1]

I have Howie and Wayne on the computer with the Nationals TV (I'm in DC) because I won't listen to THAT MORON Bob Carpenter... geez, the WFAN broadcast booth now has a sponsor--I can't make fun of the MFY radio team for that anymore.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

1-2-3!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Twee up, twee down.

[TransMonk]

Zimmerman down with the K.

[bmfc1]

Ralph Kiner is trending on Twitter and that's in part to this tweet:

@Metstradamus: Ralph Kiner throws ceremonial first pitch. Jeff Francoeur swung and missed.
