IGT 7/22/2013: ATL @ NYM -- The Spirit Is Dillon

[G-Fafif]

Dillon Gee is 7-7, right there with the '68 Giants and the '72 Jets as not bad, not great. Both NFL franchises were doomed to wander the autumnal deserts for years after they ascended to .500 in what were then 14-game seasons. Gee can take a great leap forward Monday night by outpassing Julio Teheran, who, at 7-5, is still entertaining thoughts of surpassing the Lions and grabbing the Wild Card.

Or something like that.

Turner activated, Burke gets Viva'd, Germen gets to stay after some fine performances.

[G-Fafif]

Greg Burke is opening his own theater on the Strip, right up the road from Celine Dion's. He's that much of a fixture.

[smg58]

I'm kind of surprised Turner wasn't sent down in favor of Tejada, who's been swinging the bat very well lately.

That last spot in the pen is very much up for grabs, and I don't have a problem with Germen getting an extended look here.

Fair fucks to turner for getting called back up and sticking around, he's like Joe McEwing with a Twitter account.....

I believe Tejada is kinda on the shitlist....

[ashie62]

Ayatollah Teheran pitching for the Infidels...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Got a call from our Mets account rep today, asking if we were using our tickets for tonight. I said yes, and he said to meet him inside the Rotunda. Boom. Upgrade to field level.

[Edgy MD]

Nice.

And also nice is Dillon's high cheese.

Gee's cheese brings me to my knees.

I think it's more a case of him not being the best SS right now and that Turner is better suited as an all-around backup.
Turner should play every day or stay in Las Vegas ... and right now Vegas is the better option (IMO of course).

[Frayed Knot]

Fish gotta swim, Byrd's gotta fly.
Upton gotta sit and wonder why?, why?, why?.

It's a small but sweet edge to go to bed and wake up with the knowledge that we have the best outfield defense in the division.

[Frayed Knot]

THAT is why Tejada is still in Nevada.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm going out for a run so as not to interfere with any routine.

[Fman99]

This is getting exciting.

[Gwreck]

This game seems to be quite interesting.

[Zvon]

This is gettin real.

[Zvon]

Ike is getting his bat on the ball. I like.

[Fman99]

Dang. Gee gets a nice hand from the Citi Field fans.

[Zvon]

I like the ovation. Fkn FrFrmn

[Frayed Knot]

The Braves now have as many hits as the Yanx so far tonight.

[Zvon]

Dillon, I command you to get back in command of this game.

[Zvon]

Meh, hitting the guy was like the opposite. COMMAND> Get that DP.

[Fman99]

You can't tell me that this guy Terdoslovich was not eternally nicknamed "the Turd" as a kid.

[Zvon]

Good play as Wright gets the force at home. Come on Gee. Bunch a beer here 4 u

[Edgy MD]

Thought we'd get a LOOGy here. How about Terry staying with Gee?
