IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

[Edgy MD]

There's no pressure. Harvey isn't here to be a savior. He's just one man.

I just wanted to be the guy to start this thread because it'll one day be a museum piece.

Wade Milley starts for the Diamondbacks (who should be the ones going to the American League).

Setting the bar low tomorrow night. Keep me interested beyond when Harvey departs.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Never mind tomorrow night. Let's look at the big picture. Harvey isn't departing until 2029, and when he does he will be carrying with him three Cy Young awards, two World Series MVPs, team records for wins and strikeouts, and a replica of his retired number 33.

Setting the bar a notch higher.

[Ceetar]

And a lifetime .220 average with 7 home runs.

[Ceetar]

Hopefully he gets some real bats and doesn't have to use his 70s from Spring Training.

One of which will be an 18th inning pinch-hit walk-off.

To win the world series of course.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I figure that if Harvey starts 13 games and wins all of them, the Mets will finish with a record of 60 and 102.

The Official Drink of this IGT:

[ashie62]

Darling just called out Byrdak and suggested maybe the answer was to farm out all of the bullpen. He was not laughing.

[Fman99]

Fuck yeah, Hairston ripping a gapper against his old team to plate two.

[Fman99]

It's up to the thawed out corpse of Jason Bay to get a two out RBI here.

[Zvon]

Nice hitting off this rook in the first. Expected him to give us a tough time. This is great. Got Harvey a few runs for a cushion. I like.

Ha, and Hernandez says just that.

[Fman99]

Harvey starts out with a K. Looks good, throws hard, pitches have some good movement to them.

[bigpurple:2waj4z5h]Holy crap! The Mets have a lead![/bigpurple:2waj4z5h]

[Frayed Knot]

Going to have to change his name to Jason Kue-ball after that "shot".

[Guest themetfairy]

Nice debut inning for the rookie.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

That was a nice pitch to end the inning...

(I got $100 on Mets @2.75 in this)

[metirish]

Great stuff from Harvey , the CF camera angle is disconcerting to say the least, hard to see those strikes .

[Frayed Knot]

Retire now kid.

[Guest themetfairy]

And the kid can hit too!

[Zvon]

Wow. He cudda had a triple if he wanted to chug it. Nice hitting Matt.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Nice to see SNY not puttin g unrealistic expectations on the kid.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Is it just me? Or does this Harvey guy have a very punchable face? That can be a good sign.

Ha.



Oh...yea,it's just you.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, yeah, definitely the guy who had to earn the breaks that the good-face guys were given outright. Zimmerman's like that.

Seavery that way, almost. The Smug seems strong with this one.

Y'know, in a good way.

So who was the yummy-looking young dark-haired one sitting next to mama Harvey? -- Sister? ... Girlfriend? ... Wife?
