d'IGT, 8/17/13 d'Arnaud d'Ebut

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What do you think? Batting 7th?

[Edgy MD]

Mets.com says he's wearing 15. Seems to be a brutal blow against the already shaky case for Beltran number retirement. And an evocation of Jerry Grote.

Hopefully he hits better than young Jerry did.

Batterymate: m'Ejia.

b'Ad Ass!


Will the Mets keep using an upside down P for his lowercase d? You'd think they'd be able to get the manufacturer to make a proper letter for him -- especially since there are two other lower-case d guys in he system.

In the house to wish him luck tonight are fellow possessive-prefix Mets Jeff D'Amico, Mike DeJean, John DeMerit, Joe DePastino, Mike DiFelice, Jack DiLauro, and Jerry Dipoto.

O'Brien, O'Connor, O'Day, and O'Malley also making the trip.

[G-Fafif]

All in the name of replacing PB - Thole.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

8:40 start btw

[Frayed Knot]

They ought to drive him to the park in a DeLorean.

Mets.com says he's wearing 15.

I approve. The only thing better, IMO, would have been 8.

He will not catch as well as young Jerry did..

What a delightful, delicious, delectable, delirious, deluxe, de-lovely lineup.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yeah, yeah, that may sound dumb, but it's short for "Jaffypull." (Family name.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I keep confusing Jaff Decker with Jeff Dacker.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Flores, d'Arnaud, Lagares, Mejia. There may be a lot of future in this starting lineup tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

But is apparently pronounced Jeff

[Edgy MD]

Kind of has a Charles Bronson/Robert Blake look.

Lagares better find some hits in his bat or that future may not have him in it.

[nymr83]

Is it my TV or is there some strange noise in the background of tonight's broadcast? Sounds like vuvuzela night or something

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tie score here in the 3rd. slow moving game.

[Guest Kong76]

Very slow .. a yawner

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Now a lengthy injury delay for Mejia.

[Edgy MD]

Not a good goldtending day for Davis.

Whats that all about? I'm late to the game.

What a throw by Byrd, to no avail.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Mejia spiked the first two pitches of the 4th inning and left with what looks like elbow discomfort. He was not as sharp overall tonight and sporta looked uncomfortable from the start. I'm pretty sure we see him next in March.

Now Aardsma getting bopped around. Game almost 2 hours old in the 4th inning.

Oh damn. Well he was gonna get the knife for chips anyway, right? Still damn, I wanted to see more of him.
So Trav is up and in. Hope I get too see him...I read just up for this series. Why would they not keep him up? I wanna see d' play.

[Edgy MD]

Volquez is weird. He's always moving --- twitching and stomping around the mound --- but takes his time actually toeing the rubber and throwing the ball.

Big two-out hit for Ike.

[Zvon]

OH! don't hold him there Tuef!

[Edgy MD]

Well, at least Flores could comfortably get himself to second on that hit.
