IGT - Thurs 6/23 Oakland @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

It's after midnight and I'm on a roll

Day game for you sleepy-heads. 1:10 PM sharp
Capuano faces Arthur Godfrey.

OK, it's probably not Arthur Godfrey buts it's somebody Godfrey and it'll be his 3rd ML game and he deserves a beating.

Sun out in Morristown, NJ.

Howie says that the start has been moved to 1:30pm, but he thinks that is unrealistic.

Ed says 2:30pm at the earliest now.

[Benjamin Grimm]

They should keep delaying it until Ike Davis is healthy again.

[soupcan]

2:24 - no longer raining in Manhattan.

[seawolf17]

Raining like a mofo, however, here on the east end of LI.

[Fman99]

Good, keep pushing it back, I get out of work in an hour.

[TransMonk]

Grounds crew out...tarp coming off.

[G-Fafif]

Big-time rain has moved south and east, often a good sign (unless you're out in here, to the south and east).

Also, the 1966 Mets are kicking ass -- "meticulously impartial" in their role as spoilers. Take that, Bob Veale.

[G-Fafif]

Holy Josh Thole: They're about to play! (1967 Mets, you're on your own.)

Out of NY-kers: the SNY feed is on the MLB Network.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Just tuning it in. How obvious was Turner's HBP payback?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Turner recalling the glories of Ron Hunt, gets plunked again!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gee marking the end of his win streak with a scalping.



Turner gets a plunk. A hit by Muff and it's first and third with two down.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Today is Thurs not wed. This thread confuses me.

Modest. Ron didn't think this was the time or place, but when are the A's gonna see the Mets again?

[TransMonk]

The radio guys intimated that it might have been payback.

For what?
A's should be blaming the pitcher for the ball hitting Turner's thigh, not Turner's thigh for being in the path of the ball.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, payback has its own logic.

Bay needs to be on third here.

[TransMonk]

YMMV. It's their job to create drama. They mentioned that several A's stated that they thought Turner could've gotten out of the way last night. I argue, that while he could have, I don't know of a reason that he should have.
