IGT 6/1/2013: NYM @ MIA -- McHugh Are So Dutiful

[G-Fafif]

Colin McHugh conscientiously takes the ball as the sixth starter for the tendinitic Niese. And walking back his Niemannesque tweet (why is it those who do the least tweet the most?).

Collin McHugh deleted a tweet about the Mets sweeping the Yankees after it got too much attention and debate. McHugh (@Collin_McHugh) had tweeted: �You can call us the NYC Sanitation Dept. because we just SWEPT the yankees from Queens to the Bronx.� McHugh explained Friday: �I don�t want any negative publicity or anything like that. Obviously, when you tweet something, whatever it is, you�re on the Mets, so Mets fans are going to love it and Mets fans are going to hate it. That�s kind of the way it is. �I�m proud of the way this team is playing right now. So maybe it got ahold of me a little bit. I think the thing to focus on is we�re playing well. We�re enjoying it. We�re having fun. It feels good to win. But I took it down. It�s not worth it. I don�t want to distract from anything that these guys are doing.�

Attention? Debate? Such seriousness!

[Ceetar]

That's so tame. Was the 'attention' on Twitter? (I missed it if so) or is he referring to Rubin and the Beats?

It was certainly a more intelligent tweet than "Yay, we're really rolling!" I like jokes..

lighten up people, funny tweets might be the only added value from McHugh this year. (although I hope not)

Does this mean the Mets will be all spaced out today?

[Zvon]

Mr Q singles in the first and is stranded at second. Time for McHugh to do his duty.

[Zvon]

Or his dooty. Nah, could have been worse. Fish plate 1 in the first : Ground out/ walk/walk/K/RBI single, runner out trying to advance to third. Nice throw by Ankie.

[Zvon]

Ankiel walks in the second and tries to steal second. YER OUT!
1-0 Fish after 1 and a half.

Gary does not like that roof close on nice days.

[Zvon]

OH! Mathis scores from first on a gapper by Fernandez....the pitcher. Not a good throw Mr Q.
2-0 Underwatercreatures

I think Keith almost said something funny when he thought
they were already on commercial break.

[Edgy MD]

Highlights of Keith unaware that the mic is hot will someday be a bestselling record.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's get some O going here already.

[Edgy MD]

Ozuna, the hundreds of people in attendance could all tell that was a trap. You're a rookie. Don't be a big fat liar.

[Guest Kong76]

I really can't watch ... never been here, new territory.

[Zvon]

I thought McHuges 3rd was his turning point. WRONG!
4-0 undomesticated animals

[Guest Kong76]

I need a Mets'-ledge intervention ... someone do something!

[Edgy MD]

Try painting.

I need the team to score.

I can offer you something to drink.

[Frayed Knot]

That pick-off was Carson's best pitch of the year.

And I missed it.gah Could only give partial attention to the game last few. I may be able to settle in now.

[Zvon]

So we are back to being totally lethargic?

[Frayed Knot]

We're back to giving too much credit to too many pitchers ... particularly young ones.

[Zvon]

3 hits in the 7th.*yawn. Buck has seen 9 pitches today and struck out 3 times! Wake the fuck up Mets.

[Frayed Knot]

It's time to replace Carson with ... well anyone; Byrdak, Leathersich, somebody.
Hell, at this point I'd replace him with Leno.

Laughing through my tears.
Later

[Zvon]

I guess this was inevitable. Do the HIGHLY improbable and sweep the Skanks, and then get overpowered by the lowly Marlins. If they sweep us tomorrow I'll be very disappointed. Yes, I've conceded this game, 8-0 them after 7.

[Zvon]

Mets score!
*grabs chest*

Mets lose 8-1
