IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

Way to go, Baxter.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We have a 40-man roster available. Let's activate Piazza.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Playing "Back in the New York Groove."

Wonderful.

[Frayed Knot]

ESPN booth talking about the sympathy for NYC and how that affected rooting interests in the 2001 WS

Bobby: "I was rooting for them" [the Yanx]

Orel: "So was I"

FK: "I wasn't"

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nor I.

And Torre is clearly still rooting against the Mets.

Nick Evans --- rooting for the Mets.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ronnie Paulino --- Mets fan.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gotta pinch-run for Paulino here, right?

Great escape job by Carrasco.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Seriously, who names a kid "Bryce?" It's like you're hoping he grows to be a douchebag.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tim, these are lefties.

Pena shouldn't be able to touch you.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Escape artists two innings in a row? One more out...

[Ceetar]

how dare you call Reyes out on strikes?

[Guest Edgy DC]

David Wright, the moment is yours.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dammit. That 2-0 pitch was ripe.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

BTW, the Danny Ray hair? It's even more spectacular in person.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Leadoff hit by Pagan in the eighth.

Jason Bay --- suddenly the guy you want up in a big spot. Admit it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I admit nothing.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Give us the ribeye, Evans

[Gwreck]

Looks like this one is going to fall on the shoulders of Josh Thole.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jets tied, now it's our turn

[Gwreck]

Maybe we want a pinch-runner for Evans here? Pridie?

[Guest Edgy DC]

All tied up!

Pinch-run now?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Look at them yo-yos. That's the way you do it.

[Frayed Knot]

Heads-up play by Pagan ... that brings his total for the season up to one.

[Frayed Knot]

What's with the Cubs and French names? ... LaHair, LeMathieu, and a couple of years ago Fontenot and Theriot.
Are they still trying to honor Louis Joliet or something?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Andre Dawson.
Jason Marquis.
Chad Gaudin.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Blammo for the Jets

[Frayed Knot]

Rubey Rubey Rubey, Rubey will you be mine

[Guest Edgy DC]

Duda with LeHit.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Doo doo with a hard single. 2 on for Wright

[Guest Edgy DC]

Didn't work out.

I was kind of perversely rooting for Wright to make his first career sacrifice.
