IGT, 8/12, Hey, Puig, Meet the Mets

[Edgy MD]

He just screwed up his correction of the "Yo la tengo" story.

[Edgy MD]

OK, yeah, Flores has an arm.

[Zvon]

lol, now that was a correction. Tuff night for the master. Hes gotta have off nights if he does every game alone. No breaks either, huh?

Nice play Wilma!

[Edgy MD]

Tying Puig at the plate.

[Zvon]

Vin gets on Puigs case no problem

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not for nothing but Mejia looks like a hell of a pitcher.

[Edgy MD]

Puig can't touch Mejia. My stars.

He could be big.

[Edgy MD]

I like Mejia's curly nest of hair. Reminds me of Melido Perez.

"So... EY... keeps his father's name alive."

His father isn't dead, Vin.

[Edgy MD]

Unreal. After 55 years in southern Cal, Scully seems ignorant of Spanish, but knows a little German.

Well, he does have that long one for the last 3-4 innings.

[Zvon]

I switched back, and Garys talking about Scully. How kool is that?

[Zvon]

Oh Jenrry! Keep that hand out of harms way please.

[Edgy MD]

Let's break this game open.

[Edgy MD]

Scully saying the Mets are as old as the Dodgers, but LaTroy Hawkins, Scott Atchison, and Marlon Byrd aren't exactly representative of what the Mets are about.

[Edgy MD]

Nice uniform number, Ellis. Now retire it, Dodgers.

[Edgy MD]

Cheapo rally happening.

[Zvon]

Bear down Mejia. Ugh, a well placed single and then keystone cops bullshit.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ugh.

Yup.
We followed up 5 hits from the first 8 batters with a bunt/K then a GiDP
And we have, what, like two base-runners since?

[Zvon]

Just passing 80 pitches. He has to be able to keep it up at least thru six. Come on Jenrry.
That was a nice pitch to K Ethier.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that was an inning we shall not speak of.

It's not the source of the notes that's the problem, it's that he needs to rely on them so much because he doesn't know enough about the other team to speak without them. Gary works with notes and stats (everyone does) but he's also just such a baseball junkie that he can deviate from them or add to them on his own. Scully obviously can't. That's what happens when you're 80-whatever and have cut back on your schedule to where you only rarely see the east teams (Scully doesn't travel anywhere east of Denver).

Scully is like Ralph a bit in that he knows the old stories better than the new ones.

Puig was kind of valdespinish there on the sac fly. Like he hit a homer. Id put one right off the tip of his nose next time up.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This would be a spot to pinch-hit doodoo if he were still alive.

Oh. I thought he still did more games. As with Ralph, I'll let them slide out of respect. But looks like Vin should cut down even more.

Not only Garys knowledge but his experiences as a Met fan. We are so fortunate to have a broadcaster who grew up right along with us and the team and its not just a job to him. Its his calling.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Is it me, or do the Doyers always seem to lead the league in relievers-wearing-shades?

[Edgy MD]

OK, finally knocked this guy out. Pour it on, top o' the lineup. A-Team producer in the game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

whoa, heroic play by Gonzo there. Go Juan

[Zvon]

Bases loaded, one out, Lagares. We gotta plate one here.
