IGT 6/24/2012 MFY @ NYM: Dickey Devours Sabathia

[Zvon]

R.A.s first wild pitch of the season. I think he's just too amped tonight.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Turner's just not that good at first, or are these all bad throws. Ike's timing is terrible.

The hit batsman came back to haunt him.

well done sir!

[Centerfield]

You guys are much nicer than me. All I can think about is this shitbag giving up five runs to this douchebag team.

We can salute the streak later. Right now, keep them off the fucking board. It's one thing to lose a big matchup like this. It's another to not even show up.

IIRC, he referred to 5-6 MFYs, only 2 of whom are still with the team. It's like praising the Mets' resilience this year by praising the job Endy has done in left as an injury fill-in.

That said, the broadcast team is still doing a better job of not fucking easy things up than are Beowulf MountainClimber and the home team.

Now he gets the hit.

[Zvon]

Now Dickey singles. oy

[batmagadanleadoff]

It's always all about the Yankees. ESPN had all week to produce this game and they couldn't find a picture of Phil Niekro in a Braves uniform?

[Piggiestomatoes]

3-run jack, please!

[Zvon]

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

And Dickey scores!

[Zvon]

OMG, I can't believe they sent Dickey. BIG HIT tho. Nice slide too.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yes! Our knuckleballer can even take out punk Yankee catchers!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Full contact Dickey!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Tough slide, Dickey. Drill the back-up catcher, too, for that tag to the jaw.

"You guys are much nicer than me. All I can think about is this shitbag giving up five runs to this douchebag team."

Dickey says "Who are you calling a shitbag?"

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Those "tying run up to the plate" comments from play-by-play guys always strike me as absurdly optimistic, which I suppose is a big reason why I'm a Met fan.

[Zvon]

Good play Tejada.

[Piggiestomatoes]

That fat fuck can't even run. Cedeno should have run the ball over to first.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Would it have been a "showing up the X," breaking-unwritten-rules thing if Cedeno had walked the ball to first base ahead of barely-running Cholesterol Champ there?

[Zvon]

Ha! Cano sux.

Unfortunately, 'tying run to the plate' comments only work for teams that actually hit HRs

The Yanx, on the other hand, have now used HRs to score 24 of their 28 runs against us this year.

Please?

Nice single from Cedeno. But all these soft hits. We need someone to drive the ball. Anywhere.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"I don't understand how Robby Cano missed that one, in such casual fashion, because he's the most smooth-fielding second-sacker in the league, and maybe the most solid glove of all-time there. Such a dangerous, dangerous bat, and such an amazing glove, and lateral movement that shames Lou Whitaker, and calves like Baryshnikov-if-he'd-worked-out-more, and a work ethic second to none, and that posterior, please don't lose that buttohohGodohohohohGUUUUUUUUUYS!"

I am five beers in, deep in the Adirondacks, listening to Howie and Josh's call on my iPhone and a portable radio from the porch of our log cabin.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Woo-hoo!

Now, don't toy with me Mets, get the lead and hold it.

[Zvon]

YEA! Squibblers thru the hole work too!
