IGT 5/22: No More Kinky Boots Or Batting Airspray

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

C'mon already, fellas-- let's make this trilogy less of a torch song. Some of my best friends are gay dames!

[Edgy MD]

Somebody punch Harvey in the nose.

[Frayed Knot]

Harvey may be our only hope because it appears that some as yet unidentified persons in Cincinnati have threatened NYM batters that they'll all get their income tax status scrutinized if any actual RiSP hits come against Redleg pitchers.
So far only Marlon Byrd is on their shit-list.

"Well, just to be sure, I think I'll avoid hitting entirely. Just to be sure."

Telecommuting, laptop, recliner, diet soda, A/C, Mets game. Good stuff.

[Edgy MD]

Easy to imagine Davis's big-league status not surviving today if it's another disaster. Series closer and all.

I'm rooting for him. I'm rooting for his ass to not fly out toward the dugout.

Day game before a day off before a night game. Lots of time to make moves should they need to be made.

[Fman99]

Gary apparently not working today and we've got "Guys" doing the play by play. I've already grown weary of him.

It's not his fault that Gary and Howie set the bar so high. But still. Meh.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Murphy doubles over Bruce's head. Duda holds at third.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ankiel doubles. Murphy scores. Duda holds at third.

[Fman99]

Promising start for the offense. Let's put ten more up there, mmmkay?

[Edgy MD]

A feral lead is a nice omen.

One in captivity is the beast I seek.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Duda taking a lot of pitches, including strike three. Ankiel still at third.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm really in no hurry to get rid of Daniel Murphy. As far as I'm concerned, he can stick around for a long time.

Not a good showing by Lucasio there.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

For the fiftieth time, it seems, in the past few weeks reversing the second and third outs of an inning would have produced a run that the Mets offense did not actually produce.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Harvey strands two Reds, and it's 1-0 Metsies going to the bottom of the second

[Zvon]

We scored a run? We have a lead? There's a starter on the mound who can pitch? '

Whats going on here?

Guys is no Gary, thats for sure.

DAMN! Votto goes yard for two.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Another double for Ankiel. Wright up with one out.

[Zvon]

Cozart just made the best play this season by a shortstop not involving a throw. It looked like a Brooks Robinson catch at short. Full extension dive on a wicked frozen rope liner.

[Zvon]

And Duds rips one to second. Ugh. Well, these rips I can handle. These are not stinky rips.

[Zvon]

I'm gonna miss Ike.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hey! Look who's batting! Let's talk about Shin-Soo Choo!

Theres an app 4 that.

[Zvon]

Hmm, I was afk a bit--a double, an int walk and a walk. 2 out. Bases all bloody and Bruce on the loose.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Harvey escapes by getting the guy he wanted to pitch to. Balls of a burglar, he has.

[Zvon]

Matt gets out of a jam! Runs! RUNS! We need RUNS!
