IGT 6/27/2013: NYM @ COL -- A Layover in Denver

[Edgy MD]

Who else noticed Garth's pal Wayne behind home plate the whole game?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

1-2-3 (more or less). Mets win! Please drive home safely (especially you, Todd).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I dub thee The Marlon Byrd Game.

[Zvon]

I'll second that emotion

The guy with the thick neck and headphones, singing all game? There was something wrong w/that guy.

Um, he was blind.

I didn't think it was an awful play by Cuddyer. It's no different than trying to steal a base in that spot, really, and Byrd needed to stay alert, quickly get himself in a position to throw, and throw a perfect strike on one bounce to get the out. The fact that Byrd did all that doesn't necessarily make it a bad gamble, just an unsuccessful one.

Quintanilla also did a super job twice getting the tag down very quickly (the first time was on the pickoff).

I was thinking something more.

[Benjamin Grimm]

More than blind? Like maybe he has a radar sense or something?

No. But that woulda been kool. I thought his disability was more than just blindness. I'm not joking here. And I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

[Edgy MD]

He didn't look blind. He just looked like Wayne Campbell from Aurora, Indiana.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I noticed a blonde kid wearing a shirt that looked like the logo of 80s failure, L.A. beer.

[Zvon]

I still haven't recovered from my temporary crush on the red headed girl behind right handed batters from last night.

This was some fine baseball. If you're going to get dragged an extra 1000 miles in the wrong direction before they let you come home, at least get a win out of it.

[Edgy MD]

There. To the right of the tunnel. Party on, Garth.

I'm going to guess that he's just enjoying the fact that it's legal to smoke pot in Colorado.

lol. He does. I was referring to someone else. The guy was sitting right next to the man behind the catcher with the baseball hat. From that camera view the person was distracting and got on my nerves. After he kept it up for 6 innings or so I just figured he had a problem. Maybe he was doing a Stevie Wonder groovethang with the music or something. I dunno. Looked like he was singing along to whatever was playing in his headphones.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I don't know about "blind," but I'm pretty sure dude hasn't seen a mirror in a long time.

Nice one to pick up, this.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Huge win. With Harv opening the homestand, gigantic. Terry totally played with house money, Hef on the mound in Denver and didn't surrender a HR, Lutz and Satin at the heart of the order and he didn't even need to call on Sugar. Big!
