IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After All"

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Slump busting, interleague road trip game starts at 8:10 et.

Niese (1-0) and Diamond (0-0) are your probables.

[MFS62]

Its snowing there now. A lot. On the post game radio show, Wayne said their flight may be detoured, and they have no idea to where.

Later

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

By Wayne you mean Josh. I was wondering what happened to Wayne Hagin the other day. He apparently was up for the radio gig for the Astros this year but didn't get it. That'd be 2 years without a job.

[MFS62]

Yes. My apologies to Josh for the insult.

Perhaps the games could be moved to the Metrodome.

Not that it's immune to snow.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like the field is going to be cleared.

[Guest vtmet]

I've lived my entire life in the North country where going to your kids sporting events pretty much suck any time of the year (other than July/August when the kids don't have many sports events)...but you deal with it because it's your kids and it's free...

so I have to wonder what kind of morons decided that Minnesota didn't need at least a retractable roof...it makes no sense that both Florida teams either have a dome or a retractable roof; yet Minnesota fans have to freeze their asses off to pay good money to watch a baseball game...

Great music for the snowout

[Edgy MD]

May need an orange ball.

[Zvon]

Meh, they're just flurries. I've played baseball in knee deep snow. That's nothing.

I guess that shot was from earlier. Looks fine there. And cold, of course.

[Zvon]

That's the way to start a game. Single,double,double.

[metirish]

Very tasty indeed

Let's

[seawolf17]

GO

By that >< much.

Rubin tryin to be flashy looks trashy.

[Zvon]

Valdesac has like two flashy hand pump things and THEN the claw.lol. And bad baserunning there. But 2 fer 2.

And the captain delivers him home.

[TransMonk]

May wife and I were thinking of attending this game a few months ago. For many reasons, we didn't end up going.

I'm OK with watching it from home.

[Edgy MD]

Haven't seen this much Rick Anderson since 1986.

Good omen!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

See, this is what Ike should be doing every at-bat, with the spoiling and fouling.

[Edgy MD]

I'll hand this to Worley --- he's out there in short sleeves.

Minnie announcers are lamenting his inability to finish anybody off. That with two strikes, he just gives up foul balls until the batter gets one to drive or gets ball four. Then he said it was the same with Pelfrey.

Yes it was.

[Edgy MD]

PA playing Prince & the Revolution during the pitching change.

[Edgy MD]

Admire the way this Hernandez guy comes in on the righthander.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Agreed. I'm not sure I've seen Buck look more uncomfortable at the plate in his short tenure with us.

OE: I mean, he must have hyperextended himself on the follow-through.
