IGT @ MFY Sat Jun 9 Kill Phil

[Fman99]

Gee vs Hughes. Hard to believe that the return of powerhouse All Star Jason Bay didn't give us more of a lift Friday.

Oh, what's that? He sucks now? Darn.

[Frayed Knot]

So can anyone guess why this pitching match up makes me think of Rickey Nelson?

Gee pitches after these guys hit:

Kirk Nieuwenhuis - RF
Andres Torres - CF
David Wright - 3B
Lucas Duda - DH
Daniel Murphy - 2B
Ike Davis - 1B
Jason Bay - LF
Josh Thole - C
Omar Quintanilla - SS

Yesterday when Quintinilla make out in the top of the third I thought "crap, they didn't clear the pitcher"

Neither. I'm afraid it's much more obscure than that. Obscure even to the point where I never should have brought it up but I have this over-active associative process that I can't always shut off and, hell, if I can't share my crazy with you folks, who am I going to share it with?

So the bottom line is, hearing Phil Hughes and Dillon Gee in the same sentence clicked my head over to the line from Nelson's song 'Garden Party' where he sang; Mr. Hughes hid in Dillon's shoes, wearing his disguise
Of course it was originally Dylan's shoes, not Dillon's, but aurally the line works.

Hughes, btw, in the song, apparently referred to George Harrison who was Nelson's friend and neighbor and often traveled under the alias of Mr. Hughes. 'HIding in Dylan's shoes' was a reference to Harrison's then-current attempt at working on a collection of Dylan cover songs, something he wound up never releasing.

[MFS62]

You are right. It WAS more obscure.
Do I get any points for trying?

Christ, are Joe and Tim dying their hair from the same bottle?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

That was quite an intro. McCarver - drunk, senile or just totally unprepared? You make the call.

really, I think he just came in from Belmont

[Lefty Specialist]

Buck, matching McCarver cocktail for cocktail, calls him 'David' Murphy.

[ashie62]

Waiting for Tim to go on ad nauseum about Ike's woes.

[bmfc1]

Shitty strike one call on Torres lead to the strikeout. Frigging ump.

[bmfc1]

Does Rosenthal always wear a bow tie? He looks like a moron.
Did he buy it in the adult or children's section of the store?

He does, apparently he does it as a tie in with a charity......I think

[bmfc1]

Yes, it's for charity. Good for him.

Is the charity against discrimination of the extremely short?

[bmfc1]

Holy fuck, FOX showed Jeter high-fiving in slow motion.

[Lefty Specialist]

Non-stop fellating of The Captain. Sheesh.

[metirish]

Christ, Gee all over the place, hits Texeria now to load the bases

[ashie62]

That plunking may be the best part of this series.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not even watching this shit

[G-Fafif]

Fuck you Ibanez. And all your teammates. And all your former teammates.

[metirish]

A double play gets the Mets out of this with only 1 run in.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm betting Gee takes a jackhammer with him next inning to work on that mound.

[bmfc1]

Is anyone more in love with himself than Joe Buck? He thinks that every word out of mouth, and there are plenty of them, is prose.

[Lefty Specialist]

Ike with his monthly hit.

[Lefty Specialist]

McCarver clinking the ice cubes in his scotch glass as he rambles on about Bryce Harper in the All-Star game despite the fact he doesn't deserve it by any stretch. And a great play by Wright goes unremarked on.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

And right on Q....


KABOOM!
