Who'll Stop the Rain? IGT - Giants @ Mets 4/22/12

[Frayed Knot]

I'm so unused to starting these things that I almost forgot I had the honors here today.
It's Earth Day and the earth is doing what the earth tends to do despite the power we sometimes think we have to affect it ... anything it wants.

But assuming this game does actually happen, these are reportedly the players who will participate:

1) Kirk Nieuwenhuis CF
2) Daniel Murphy 2B
3) David Wright 3B
4) Lucas Duda RF
5) Ike Davis 1B
6) Josh Thole C
7) Ruben Tejada SS
8) Mike Baxter LF
9) Dillon Gee RHP


1) Angel Pagan CF
2) Melky Cabrera LF
3) Pablo Sandoval 3B
4) Buster Posey C
5) Nate Schierholtz RF
6) Brandon Belt 1B
7) Emmanuel Burriss 2B
8) Brandon Crawford SS
9) Tim Lincecum RHP

Gee wiz it's supposed to rain hard huh?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I don;t think the heavy stuff is coming for some time, Your Excellency.

Srlsly, I think it's possible they get in 5 innings today but 7 is in doubt.

Rained out.

Does McCartney confirm?


Two tomorrow? Obviously the Giants don't make another planned visit to NYC.

DH tomorrow at 4:10, soon to be called "old-fashioned, single-admission doubleheader." Batista and Gee are the Mets starters.

Still wild and crazy. If the playoffs started today, the Mets would be traveling to Atlanta for that one-game Wild Card qualifier. (Randall Delgado v Dillon Gee).

How does the TV coverage work, does WPIX get the early game and SNY the late one?

Crazy but sadly, I was thinking the same thing.

Magnificent avatar adjustment, TomatoMan.

He added that when it rains and shines is just a state of mind.

If necessary, he can show you.

Actually, that was Lennon going on about the rain.

McCartney does note that the banker never wears a mack in the pouring rain.

That's very strange.

Yes I quite meant that.

SNY for both Monday.

[Frayed Knot]

So while the Mets weren't playing and the Nats weren't playing and the Marlins weren't playing, they all gained ground on the Braves & Phils who both lost.

Sweet, thank you for the news. Fboy has little league practice at 5:30, I will have to catch game 1 on the iPhone/headphones. Still beats real life.

I have to make a long drive to Cooby Country late tomorrow for work. Will take the games with me!
