IGT 9/17/2011: NYM @ ATL -- The Cat Meows

[G-Fafif]

On this date six years ago, new kitten Avery -- perhaps inspired by Pedro Martinez's triumph over the Braves the night before -- emerges with a full personality. Older cat Hozzie goes into hiding, wondering what the hell is going on.

Our entire roster consists of incompetent bunters!!

[G-Fafif]

Yayjada!

[G-Fafif]

B(y)ay!

[G-Fafif]

R.Yay.!

(But if we don't get a run on the board soon, less yay than oy.)

[G-Fafif]

Mets are the beneficiary of a close neighborhood play that is called (correctly) when Alex Gonzalez just misses touching second as he throws to first.

Really? The Ted?

[G-Fafif]

Tejada-Hudson 8-pitch battle that would have been great had it gone our way. Instead it will be included in some clinic on clutch pitching.

[G-Fafif]

Chipper doubles in a way that confounds Pagan. Yeah, this is still Turner Field.

[G-Fafif]

Dickey pulls a Hudson and gets out of a jam. Say, what a game.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Alas, even the Really Agile can't tightrope-walk forever.

F him. If he gets a bunt down in the second inning we're still playing.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I know! What a dick, with the seven shutout frames, and the pitching around three jams, right?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I work ass-backwards when managing in computer games. I don't bunt with my pitcher until there's two strikes. Get the infielders in for your butcher hacks and then take one last shot at bunting after they drop back.
