So how 'bout an IGT? - 9/30/12 - Mets @ Braves

[Frayed Knot]

- Mejia vs Medlen

- Wright sitting out after last night when he got on (literally) via a base on balls in his last AB

- Murphy with a one-out double in the 1st - his 40th

- Davis with a two-out walk

- Hairston fails to bring them in

How about a modified DH rule?
Eliminate catchers from the Braves' batting order.

The Mets would have won this game if not for that Medlen kid.

What anyone who wasn't watching missed:

- Mejia still needs some work. He's erratic and doesn't seem to miss enough bats. The Braves fouled balls off until they got a good one and then they smacked it.

- Thole got smoked in the head by a foul ball sitting in the dugout. Seemed to be OK

- The few balls we did hit hard off of Medlen were at'em balls. He didn't totally dominate like it looked like the hitters had no chance, but he was still good.

- Chipper's father looks ridiculously like Chipper. Or, I guess, the other way around is more accurate, hence the name Chipper.

Who said the Mets weren't record-setting?
Well, at least participating in a record.

Look at how young. It makes your heart hurt. Someday when I am king I will outlaw kids being sick.

I love that you decreed that sentiment while posting at the level of Dr. Ron Taylor.

Trivia question: The other Met in the countdown that gets an occupational honorific is...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Donn Clendenon, Esq.?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Lenny Dykstra, Grifter?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Rep. Wilmer Mizell?

[Edgy MD]

Mizell would be a good one, but I don't think he ever gave enough of his innate goodness to crack the top 500.

The correct answer is... Officer Stanley Jefferson.

[u:2k9o5jse]Mr.[/u:2k9o5jse] Dae-Sung Koo was there for a while but then fell off the Top-500 list about two years ago.
