IGT: May 29, Ring the Phillies' bell!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I didn't see an IGT started, so I figured my recent activities in Philadelphia might bring us some luck. I brought the Alternate Victory Flag with me on my morning runs through downtown and eluded the National Park Service long enough snap some defiant Mets photos with Philly landmarks.

Tonight, Jermey Hefner goes up against Joe Blanton.

[Frayed Knot]

1) Mike Baxter LF
2) Kirk Nieuwenhuis CF
3) David Wright 3B
4) Lucas Duda RF
5) Daniel Murphy 2B
6) Ike Davis 1B
7) Mike Nickeas C
8) Omar Quintanilla SS
9) Jeremy Hefner RHP

Anyone who submitted this lineup at the beginning of the year for the starting nine on May 29th please step up to the window and collect your Billion Dollar prize.

Ike, we needs you, buddy.

[Lefty Specialist]

Rain comin'. How does Hefner do when it rains?

[Guest themetfairy]

Let Ramirez start the game and put in Hefner after the rain delay.

[Edgy MD]

Not a bad idea at all.

[Guest themetfairy]

Double, sacrifice, wild pitch - before you can blink it's 1-0 Phillies.

[ashie62]

Well, Hefner is a wild dude.

[Ceetar]

it's alright, the Mets double that with help from the Phillies loltastic defense.

[Guest themetfairy]

Hefner isn't getting any beer from me tonight.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mike Baxter - a double a day keeps the Bisons away.

[Edgy MD]

So who forgot the scouting report on Brian F. Schneider?!

[Edgy MD]

Lewin stealing material from MBTN.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And you KNOW he's got the thing linked, too. What material?

(Also: the front end of the rain band is in a diagonal line between West Milford and Edison and just west of Trenton in central-western Jersey; go, game, go!)

He was observin' Quintanilla and referencing exactly how many players have worn that number, how it's the most issued number, who first wore it, blahblahblah. Reference your sources!

"0-2 to 3-2 to oppo-field hit. What a Polanc-ish at bat."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That is one gawky-looking great play by Pence on the Nickeas drive to the bullpen area in right-center. But then, ANYTHING involving Pence kinda feels... prepubescent, doesn't it?

[Guest themetfairy]

OK - Hefner's getting some beer.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Now THAT was a bombshell.

[Edgy MD]

What's more embarrassing than giving up a dingdong to Schneider? How about giving up one to Hefner?

[bigpurple:2b53ja2p]Kaboom![/bigpurple:2b53ja2p]

Seriously, Daniel Murphy... get one in the homer column.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

NOW we starting walking to field positions and such.

OE: I think I watched a little too much "Hatfields and McCoys" last night.

BOC!

[nymr83]

Time to take our time! Let's Go Thunder&Lightning!

[Edgy MD]

Kinda surprised we haven't gone to the pen here. Tying runner on third, one out.

[Edgy MD]

AND HE FANS VICTORINO!

Stormin' seriously in DC.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Mike Baxter is not exactly making anyone forget Bay with his defense. Actually, he kind of makes you remember Bay.

OUT OF IT!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

No sweat. Why don't you Phillies take a rest on daddy's lap?

[Gwreck]

Big, BIG with the rain coming.
