IGT 6/20/13: NYM-ATL, Roman Polanski Rubber Game

[Guest Swan Swan H]

A series win is within reach. LGM! YGB!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd like to see The Real Jon Niese show up for work today.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Based on recent results (and the admittedly tiny Wheeler sample size) Niese is no better than the fifth starter right now.

Young-7
Murphy-4
Wright-5
Byrd-9
Duda-3
Buck-2
Lagares-8
Quintanilla-6
Niese-1

So Terry is saying that in CF Lagares > Young > Nooey, I guess.

[Edgy MD]

If Niese is the fifth starter, then something is going right.

It may be only about 26.35% of the puzzle, these days, but it's something.

Captain Wright starts us off with a solo Ka-Boom!

[Zvon]

Capt KaBOOM was sweet. But we give the lead right back. And sloppily.

Niese limits the damage.
1-1 Mets

[smg58]

Young drew an 11-pitch walk and Murph was ahead 1-0. The hit-and-run needed to be on there. Instead it's a DP.

[Zvon]

I'm sure this came up before but I don't recall. When did the Mets switch from Rhiengold to Schaefer as the official beer?

[Zvon]

Braves take the lead. Man, Wright way off the line there and gets burned.
2-1

[Guest themetfairy]

When do Harvey and Wheeler get to pitch again?

I'll wake you when we get there.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Wright with yet another Kaboom, and Byrd almost gets robbed by Simmons. Sheesh, he's good at shortstopping.

[Zvon]

[Guest themetfairy]

Great work Z!

[smg58]

Byrd beats the throw but man that was an impressive play by Simmons.

[Zvon]

Your big Q.

[Zvon]

[bigpurple:2mv57cpc]UGH![/bigpurple:2mv57cpc]

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, come on.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The only way that could have been worse is if the dugout collapsed on Harvey and Wheeler.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaandddd... Niese is hurt.

[Frayed Knot]

HRs with the bases empty and ground balls with 'em full.
Story of this series.

...and jinx.

[smg58]

You hope it's nothing major, but Niese's body language said pull him immediately.

[Frayed Knot]

Should I ask, btw, what makes this game the Roman Polanski rubber game?

The Mets offense is out to abuse a Minor.

[Zvon]

Wouldn't we have to drug him first?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Just tuned in. What happened to Niese? Shoulder?
