[Fman99]

Laffey vs Jeff Francis. May the best Mets win.

Orange dots are not authentic.

Weird choices -- uniforms commemorating the first ever Rockies game, which was at Shea, so the Mets are wearing home whites and the Rockies road grays.

I do like the script "Mets" home pinstriped jerseys from that era.

[Guest Kong76]

Thank god that #42 is sitting this one out, he sucked ass
in the first game.

Booooooo!

[Fman99]

Ugh, this game is starting out much like the last one ended.

[Edgy MD]

Mook who probably came to root for the Mets: "LET'S GO, LAF-FEE! HAH-HAH-HAH!"

Ah, yes, very rich.

[Fman99]

Hey Laffey, hey Laffey, hey Laffey, YOU SUCK.

[Guest themetfairy]

Zvon - do you have any Laffey Taffy graphics?

[Edgy MD]

Let's play "Talk Back to Power":

"Jacob Turner, the big redhead, at first base."


Uh, he may carry himself like a Viking, but he's not that big, 'cep a little bit in the belly. And it's "Justin."



"David Wright over there at third. And it seems like until he arrived, they had a different guy there every year."



Or... until Hubie Brooks took over in 1981. I think that's what you meant.

Not that I am aware of. Are folks calling him that or did you just make that up?

Hats should only have stuff on top of them in cartoons.



ooo, big error. I hope.

[Zvon]

Ugh Rubin. Nice try. Why did it feel like Laffey gave up way more than one run? Tie game!

[Edgy MD]

Because he's out there freezin'

If we don't give up outs, we could be freeze Francis, too.

As far as I know it's just me. So far....

Tuedsay afternoon is never ending.

Permission to steal it and take all the credit.

I'll make something if he's around long enough.

[Zvon]

They are slappin Laffey around and he's hittin people and still only one run allowed. There is beer still available.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Laffey Taffy" implies something that stretches naturally, and has a flavor that pleases.

"Joke" would work, only I'm not sure that people would know which rotation Joke you meant.

Odd, considering the temperature, but the day's affairs have a very Floridian/Soilmastery feel to 'em.

[Zvon]

YEA MURPH! And he makes it to second.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Those Latin catchers love to throw... show off their arms."

Yikes, Keith.

[Edgy MD]

Meanwhile these Moes in the Rockies booth are gonna call him "Jacob Turner" all night.

Not quite the same as stereotyping a hemisphere, though.

[Zvon]

Turner wastes an at-bat. *sob

Oooo, on a questionable third strike third out call in a big spot with men on base it is permissable to get right in the umps face Ike. Take note. I don't think Turner got in his face enough.

After the discussion earlier in the inning about Keith's Emmy, too.

[ashie62]

Nobody is having a worse day outdoors than Keith Henandez, he must be frozen.

[Guest Kong76]

If anyone can get away with booth brain freeze, Keith can.

[Edgy MD]

That's the tying run on.

[Fman99]

Chicks dig the inning ending 2-5-3 DP.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

De-fense?
