IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

Well, shit, somebody's got to start the IGT and I almost had a two-game winning streak last week doing this (the blown save v the Braves killed me).

1. Jose Reyes � SS
2. Justin Turner � 3B
3. Carlos Beltran � RF
4. Jason Bay � LF
5. Scott Hairston � CF
6. Ronny Paulino � C
7. Lucas Duda � 1B
8. Ruben Tejada � 2B
9. R.A. Dickey - P

Hairston in because of the LHP Gonzalez. Duda in on account of Murphy "struggling" acc to Terry and working on things with Hudgens.

Lucas Duda, the first baseman of the future.

Ceetar at the game and borrowing batteries from WFAN, sez Twitter. Hopefully he'll swing through and explain.

Go find my new friend Corey from Columbus. He should be in or around section 327, row 4, seats 1 and 2. He's about 25, caucasian, 6'2" 225, reddish hair, glasses, and a chinbeard. You buy him beer and yours and his will be on me.

Ike Davis' spirit has entered the body of Hideki Matsui.

The Japanese are kickin' our asses.

SNY production meeting: "people are relaxing, watching the Mets, what can we do to make the telecast even better?" "I know! Get Kevin to talk about tornadoes." "Perfect! Then Gary and Keith can talk about all the natural disasters we've had lately."

Little-known fact: Keith Hernandez is deathly afraid of bees.

Hey, Turner, wait until the ump punches you out before heading to the dugout.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gray pants and solid tops confuse me. Half classick, half neo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Great point by Keef about Gonzalez. They take pictures out so early these days that you rarely see a pitcher find his rhythm and get better like this.

Dickey too, maybe.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, the fact that we got rid of Gio can only be a good thing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Damn it, Angel. Backman would leadoff with a bunt down the firstbase line there.

But... JOSE!

[Guest Edgy DC]

McMetLead!

How you can even consider trading Reyes is beyond me. Contract year or not, too much talent and spark not to hang on to.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Turner should be lookin' to run here.

Well, nobody's looking to dump him. I assume they would be looking to leverage the value of that talent and spark.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Booooay!

[Guest Edgy DC]

One out. But man, what was Pennington looking at? I was swinging at that pitch from my room.

And now Coco is on second.

I didn't say dump but you rarely ever receive equitable value in return. You'll receive prospects you hope will manifest into talent.

For once, I'd like to see a talented everyday player come up, hit their prime and grow old in a Mets uniform. That occurrence is way too infrequent.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Dammit, Frankie!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't like the runner getting third uncontested with a pitcher who likes to bounce curves.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Butt.

[Guest themetfairy]

Fucking K-Rod

[Piggiestomatoes]

Fuck! Poor Dickey.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

If Dickey wanted to run out there and kick him in the shins -- or worse -- no one would blame him.
