IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Wandy Rodriguez (aka "Eny Cabreja") (11-13, 3.76) v Collin McHugh

Wandy only lasted 4.0 inning in his last start coughing up 4 runs in ND to the Brewers. He's sorta owned us in the past holding the Mets to one run in seven innings over each of his last three starts against going 2-0. He also threw a four hit shutout in 07. Being a lefty probably means Ike will start on the bench.

Was that a false name he played under in order to disguise his age?

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Correct. He basically assumed the identity of his best friend in DR.

[Edgy MD]

Has rookie hazing day happened yet? Have the Mets done away with it?

[seawolf17]

The Wilpons can't afford that many costumes. They're waiting for the after-Halloween sales at Party City.

Davis and Baxter getting the call vs. the lefty. Bay riding pine.

I somehow never knew Wandy Rodriguez was a lefty until just now. Or forgotten.

Ike shouldn't be in the lineup tonight.

Thought this was a lefty-lefty thing, but it's a Jewish thing. Got it.

It's not like the game means anything.

If Sandy Koufax could miss a World Series game and Hank Greenberg could miss a pennant race game for Yom Kippor, Ike shouldn't be playing in this one.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ike is a hard-partying rebel who can't be told what to do.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Isn't it up to Ike to decide how observant he wants to be? I'm sure if he asked out for religious reasons Terry would let him sit.

[seawolf17]

Yeah, but setting an example for the children and all that.

[Edgy MD]

Rubicon is reporting that Jason Bay's back has become bestiffed and he his therefore observing a holiday of his own.

Yes, it is.

Ike should have opted out of tonight's game.

[Edgy MD]

This could lower his score.

Ike has a history of embracing his Jewishness, out of respect for his ancestors who died in the Holocaust.

[Frayed Knot]

And he can embrace all that with or without sitting out tonight's game.

I care more that Spitter is on an IGT roll.

Mazel Tov!

[Ceetar]

I miss baseball. Of course, even if the Germans were somehow showing SNY, it's 12:20am on Wednesday and the game doesn't even START for 50 minutes. geeze.

I will note that there was some extremely drunk people on the train this morning wearing FC Bayern M�nchen stuff though. Hopefully they weren't headed TO Oktoberfest for a postgame.

[Edgy MD]

In actual game news. The Mets fell behind 4-0 in the top of the first and got three of those babies back thru back-to-back belly-to-belly homers by Turner and Wright. Ike Davis got a one-out walk, and Torres is trying to join the fun now.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd feel better if McHugh didn't McSuck.

[Edgy MD]

That's a son of Edgy, buster. Watch it.

I'm sure you'd see the grace in McHughie's performance if you looked at his secondary numbers. Or perhaps his tertiary or quadrary numbers.

Barajas, as reported by Levin, has just welcomed his seventh child. "Congratulations, I guess..." offered Josh.

Ha ha, Joshie.

It was good while it lasted.

[ashie62]

McGuogh is an apoptee? At least you tried.

Now kick his ass

Told you we should have traded him right away.

[Edgy MD]

Kinda sorry we used 27 pitchers yesterday.
