IGT 4/21 Mets vs Nats Flubber Game

[Fman99]

Gee vs. J-Zimm. Let's hope the Mets bullpen all gets lost on the way to the park today.

I agree-- Dillon Gee can blow leads without outside help, thankyouverymuch.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is Dillon Gee's last stand as far as I'm concerned. I know what you're thinking: Laffey and Heffy! But those guys are supposed to suck. Gee allegedly doesn't suck so if he sucks again, he's gonna have to suck on the disabled list or in Vegas or something.

[batmagadanleadoff]

It's so much easier to just concede that this is gonna be a lost season. Where the hell are they going with two and a half minor pitchers and an outfield that's worse than Shinjo-Payton-McEwing and not even in the same ballpark as ol' Casey's Thomas, Ashburn and Hickman?

This way, for example, I can enjoy Duda's audacious home runs and keen batting eye without getting all worked up over the inevitable Hundleyesque outfielding gaffe with the game on the line (and it's coming, don't kid yourself) that'd ordinarily make you wanna tear your eyeballs out.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well, Laffey was released. Carson up.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's not that we're expecting big things from the team this year, exactly. But guys like Gee were being counted on for back-end rotation work on the next good Met team, right?

And I think, bml, you're forgetting exactly how bad Shinjo-Payton-Fucking SuperJoe was... at least Valdespin and Duda have SOME upside.

You have no idea. How much I hated that bunch. Compounded. By McEwing and Shinjo's inexplicable popularity. Between those two and then that fraud Ordonez, another popular Met, I used to ask myself who the hell are these Mets fans? What the hell are they seeing that I'm not?

And all of that taking place in the hideous soul-sapping black drop shadow abominations.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Joe McEwing's boots are in the LaRussa Hall of Fame. That's something right there.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm guessing that LaRussa has made a lot of acquisitions he can't quite remember or explain.

That was a shot! And Gee didn't give it right back!

[Edgy MD]

Gee's certainly yielded some deep shots, but a combination of Duda, Valdespin, and the wind have kept him clean.

No wind could stop John Buck.

[Zvon]

Great at bat by Duda there.

[Zvon]

Baxter looked totally over matched yet he still lifts a deep fly to center for the sac. Good job kid.

[Zvon]

Yea! Harpers busy thinkin how kool he thinks he looks and Baxter takes an extra base. Whats a matter Bryce, tired? I yawn in your general direction.

[Edgy MD]

Rice ruining a good thing here.

[Gwreck]

Werth swings 3-0 and grounds into a double play? Convenient.

[Frayed Knot]

OMG Thank you Jayson Werth

Still not out of it yet.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Daniel Murphy entered today's game 11th in WAR and 12th in OPS in the NL.

[Zvon]

WOW. I thought Rices goose was cooked. Gets a DP! DATS NICE! JUST THROW STRIKES RICE!

[Edgy MD]

OMG Thank you Jayson Werth

No, thank you, Davey Johnson for giving him the rope to hang himself.

[Frayed Knot]

Rice is either had a real good inning or is the luckiest sumbitch in baseball.
I'm opting for the latter.

[Gwreck]

I've never played in the major leagues, but when you're:
-Down 2 runs
-In the late innings
-Against a pitcher with control issues
-Who just walked the prior batter
-And nobody out

You don't swing 3-0.

[Zvon]

Just wow. I had already figured theyd at least tie it. Jeeze, couldn't you have done that a little easier Scott? I think I riced my pants.

[Edgy MD]

What a strange inning.

Lucky, yes, but it takes more than luck to whiff Bryce Harper. Usually, anyhow.

[Zvon]

Ike, shhhhhhhh

[Edgy MD]

Bobby Pee. What's the sound of 40,000 peeps eating their hats?

Hmghafmhfhfhfmgh.

[Frayed Knot]

Get your first ML hit elsewhere kid.
Not here, not today.
