IGT 9/6/2013: NYM @ CLE -- Where's Lefty?

[G-Fafif]

Not sure if Lefty Specialist is lying in the weeds as he did Wednesday, waiting for things to turn in the Metsies' favor before starting the thread, but in the meantime, 2-0 Tribe, top of third, Kazmir striking out everybody in sight...which was supposed to mean good news for said Metsies, but that was a long time ago.

[Zvon]

I woulda started it down 2-0. The win would be that much sweeter. Somethings going on here. But its with 2 out.

[G-Fafif]

Keith sounds not so much drunk but that he took three Aleve before coming on the air.

I think they both need to warm up like players. When Young stole before I thought they bumped their heads together like the two stooges. They're with it now though.

So this is Scott Kazmir,huh? Tuefel looks intensely insane in glasses.

[ashie62]

Keith probably had a rough flight, and after all, it is Cleveland..

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If "Redskins"-- technically, demi-correct, if insulting-cum-racist-- is so objectionable that majorish media outlets won't deign to use the name any longer, then why isn't "Indians"-- which is not only incorrect, but kind of a fuck-you-I'm-calling-you-what-I-want sort of incorrect-- getting any "pub" of late? Will it take a Cleveland playoff appearance before activists and fairmindeddecentfolk set on the franchise again?

[ashie62]

Maybe getting rid of Chief Wahoo was enuff?

[Zvon]

And it�s not something we�re going to publicize or write about.

Really. Yet I'm reading about it.

[Zvon]

Heads up Laggy! Takes two bags on the bad throw.

[Zvon]

If the new "guys" guy was any more relaxed he'd be falling alseep on his feet. Hey, maybe they all are stoned on Aleve!

[Lefty Specialist]

Little late to the party. Hey, wonder what Victor Zambrano is doing tonight? Stocking shelves at Safeway?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So, too, is this Cleveland crowd. Or maybe they're just too full, or something. Very... um... genteel.

Can't believe I never noticed this before, but... well... between the fieldy lunkishness, the on-base-y power lefty hitting profile, and capacity to underwhelm... Kubel is, essentially, Lucas Duda con stubble, right?

Wow and awe. When its a pic I've never seen before it always seems to get a wow from me. I'm easy. Awe is a different matter.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That... is a lot of strikeouts.

[Edgy MD]

"Indians" is ethnographically wrong but has a tradition that gives it a currency, even among Native Americans themselves.

"Redskins" is has a derogatory connotation that "Indians" does not.

The caricature of the chief is another matter.

Kazmir is pitching angry.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Meanwhile, Wheeler-- 5 IP, 5 BB, 3 K-- puts up a pretty VictorZambrano-y final line.

Clusterfuck time. AND WE ONLY GET ONE! gah.

I thought Brown caught it for a milli-sec.

[Edgy MD]

Duda's got 12 homers and only 27 RBIs.

That is not maximizing your stuff.

[Edgy MD]

Wow! His first homer goes like 420 feet.

[Zvon]

I think I made that one in 2010. About time Red.

Not really just in time, though. A few more of those a little earlier woulda been OK.

Or anytime.

Youngs legs move in fast motion. Awwww, picked off.

[Zvon]

I have seen a few Mets lollygaggin to first this season. Whatrtheytalkinbout? Very few, maybe only 3 or 4 times, but I remember that kinda shit.

[Edgy MD]

Swish-malicious.

As soon as I heard Napoli hit one for the Sawx, I knew Swish was poised to answer.

[Zvon]

Aw fuck. And I already hate Swisher..

[Zvon]

Byrdaks ERA balloons to 10.50. Then back down to 9.00.

[Zvon]

Nice Hat Mr Brown.

[Zvon]

No matter the outcome, which sucked a load of cocks that only Fman can say how they were packaged or where they came from, too many pitches Zack.
Too
Many
Pitches

5 innings. 92 pitches.
