IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

[Fman99]

[Zvon]

Bases full O' Rocks and Mejia will get the hook.

[Zvon]

Yea, show em that arm Lagares!

[Fman99]

Torres induces the shallow pop up to center. One out left to get for Torres.

[Fman99]

WOW WHAT A CATCH BY YOUNG!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I gotta say it. I like Eric Young Junior.

[Frayed Knot]

He still plays too damn deep but that catch makes up for it - in that case anyway.

[Zvon]

Master Young with the masterful catch gets us out of it. Very nice.

[Edgy MD]

Young, man. Minus the seven weeks before the Mets got him, he's been everything we could have hoped for from Michael Bourne, hasn't he?

[Guest themetfairy]

That was a Schaefer deserving catch by EY!

[Edgy MD]

So, how about this pitcher wearing zero? Bring out the grumpy the old man in you or what?

[Edgy MD]

Davis reaching 11 times in 13 appearances.

batdavisleadoff!

[Edgy MD]

Keith just asked if Olerud has a shot at the Hall of Fame. Not until you get in, buddy!

They're forgetting all about Jeff Kent.

[Edgy MD]

Between Culberson and Flores, I'm starting to thing Ron Darling's 1980s salon mullet is coming back.

[Zvon]

Two runs in the first and nothing since. This is getting oooooold.

Ive been excited about Young since the minute he took the field for us and played as well as he did. Between him and Laggy, and maybe even Byrd, this changes the whole deal in the off season as to what we need to improve the team.

[Fman99]

Assuming that those three guys continue to play at this level, if we had an opening day OF of Young in LF, Lagares in CF and Byrd in RF I would be fine with that.

Look for a SS or a 1B on the free agent market.

[Zvon]

Byrd with another really nice catch. In a way Im just as excited over Byrd as I am Young. He has been so solid.

Early in the season the only player I thought for sure we should go for is that Choo Choo guy (Reds?). He no longer tops my list. What SS's are available?

lololol. too funny. Laugh of the month there.

[Edgy MD]

Quintanilla will be available, I think.

[Edgy MD]

You know, I bet the Mets take a sniff around Jhonny Peralta.

[Zvon]

Qs last at bat he ran out the grounder like he was destined to be out, so he's now on my shit-list.

[Edgy MD]

HAVE YOU SEEN JUNIOR'S GRADES?!?!

[Fman99]

[bigpurple:2wsbrg43]WOW[/bigpurple:2wsbrg43]

[Zvon]

A dead hop and a fast Young equals a Met lead.

[Edgy MD]

So who closes?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Juan Lagares, devastating middle-of-the-order slugger.

[Edgy MD]

I'm OK with Hawkins in the chamber. Just keep an Aardsma and a Feliciano in the clip.
