IGT 9/9/2013: WAS @ NYM -- Now With More Mets

[G-Fafif]

When Metsies return home Monday night, it will be with Mike Baxter, Aaron Harang and Juan Centeno. Ruben Tejada apparently kept dangling so the team that has avoided using him for months can hold on to him for an extra year.

Orthopedic surgeons are drooling over Bryce Harper's hip..

[Zvon]

Aaron Harang. Ha! Who ever thought it would come to this?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ah, well.

If he's bound to take it on the chin, well... at least he's got the chin to take it.

He kind of looks like a Harangutang.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ooh! Ooh! OOH!

I was going to say that if he's going to take it on the chin, he's doubly prepared.
But Lefty Specialist WINS!
He WINS!

Bryce Harper will NOT be available for at least the first game of this series; is back in the D of C getting his aching hip looked at.

We'll also miss Strasburg who had a very odd game yesterday: he pitched well for the most part but somehow managed to balk twice with the bases loaded.
I thought Mike Pelfrey had patented that move.

Two batters, 2-0 Nationals.

This is going to be a long evening....

Maybe. Torres could settle down. The only reason for a long evening should be because we turn over the line up a few times.

Got a chance here. Muff on 2nd, 2 down.
Do you Doodoo?

[Zvon]

Doodoo don't.

[Frayed Knot]

So, other than the multiple HRs given up and the getting no-hit part, this game isn't starting out too bad.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

They just took advantage of the short rightfield and leftfield and centerfield porch, is all.

And hey, at least what with all the strikeouting, we're saving money on baseballs. #AlsoNotAPerfectGame #Brightside

No, you were right.

We can't keep the Nats in the park tonight.

I'll give a tall frosty cold one to whoever gets the first hit. With a shot.

Lotta no Met-hittin' through six

Philosophical Question: If a Nationals pitcher throws a no-hitter on the same night as a Redskins game, will anyone in the Washington DC area notice?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I got a bbad feeling about this.
