Odds that Valdespin goes after Buck in the locker room?

[Frayed Knot]

I don't think English or Spanish speakers can understand him right now

There you go.

First extra innings grand slam since the grand single?

certainly sounded like his nervous system was elevated .

Something about hitting a homer making it easier to run the bases.

[Edgy MD]

By the way, that pieface was more than a little violent.

Yes, except that that one isn't considered to be a GS.
Gary says it's the first walk-off (not necc extra innings) GS since Kevin McR in [crossout]1993[/crossout] 1991

I believe this last happened with the Mets using Beltran as an extra infielder. Maybe 2010?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Definitely a Manuel move. Against Pittsburgh, I think.

Oh, and speaking of things dating back to '10 or so...

[Edgy MD]

I remember Chuck Tanner doing it against Wally Backman way back when with the winning run on third.

It could have been a viable strategy against Wally at any time though.

Please remind me....

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I know I've posted this before, but...

My softball team, maybe 1992. We lose the first in a 2-of-3 playoff. Game 2, extra innings, we're the visitor. Leadoff triple. We walk the next two guys, bring our RF in to stand on top of second base. Next batter hits it to him on one hop. Perfect, right? Not so fast. He steps on second, throws to first - double play. As the winning run scores and our season ends.

[Zvon]

That was the antithesis of a shitty game.

Well, its tough to speak any languge with a mouth full of shaving cream. And Buck really jammed that pie his face.

Who the eff is Erik Turgeon?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ex-2008 draftee and B-Met/Cyclone, currently retired. Ex-teammate of 'Spin's, at both levels (and rookie ball).

Some more:

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

There's just too much out there not to believe Valdy is a real dick. It looked like Buck was punching him in the face.

Turgeon doesn't seem like a great teammate either.

[ashie62]

Thats what I call a Citifield moment!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Damn, I missed it. Was it like the Steve Henderson game?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Somebody's clearly punching Jordany in the dick and balls at about :45 seconds into this highlight clip.

http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=330424121

1) Who's doing the dick punching?

2) Is dick punching ever funny unless the guy getting punched is a dick himself? And then is it funny? maybe.


EDIT: Mets.com has the reverse angle and it was our own Captain Dick Punch with the fister up the middle.

I can't advocate cock punching unless it's done by someone's mouth/face.

Yup. It was more like he punched him in the face with it.

And did any of you understand more than maybe one sentence Jordany spoke...?

[G-Fafif]

When I came home from Shea after seeing my first Mets win in a very long time in 1981, I buzzed around the house all night because, ohmigod, I saw the Mets win. I was 18. It didn't take much.

I was the same way last night. It hadn't been long since I'd seen the Mets win at Citi Field -- it had been three days. And it wasn't the first time I'd seen the Mets win on a walkoff hit or home run or even grand slam (I was at the Kevin McReynolds game that was referenced in the aftermath of last night). But boy, something about last night...Jordany; Mattingly's overarranging of the infield; the effort to tie it; Harvey not getting stuck with a loss...I'm still buzzing.

Thirty-two years later, baseball makes time incidental.

[metirish]

I think he saw the pie coming and was ducking away when Buck came....and Buck probably can't do anything soft anyway....
