Opening strikeout of the red-hot Span. Harang has some left after all.

OE: That should be an "h." "Heft," some heft.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, and there goes Zimmerman, with the cheapie to dead center field, in the black. What a cheapie!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's, uh, dark outside. And pouring here in Midtown.

[Edgy MD]

Ruben will save us.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bunt****ing.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Mooted by Murph.

[Zvon]

Ha! Werth blows.
Murph lines one past him and Young passes over the plate.
1-1

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Howie just hates Doodoo's guts. Can't have an AB without mentioning what a fuckup he is with runners on.

[Zvon]

That don't mean that the bunt wasn't a stupid thing. But we can forget about it for now.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And HERE comes the rain.

Have a window open-- the vegetal, wet rainsmell here in the Bronx is excellent.

[Zvon]

I don't think they will let me see the 80 Mets yearbook. I'll be unceremoniously cut off.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

NOBODY rains on Pat Zachry, motherfathers.

[Guest Kong76]

Seeing 1980 Fred makes my tummy sick

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Because it reminds you of what Jeffy could look like, if he only figured how to arrange that troublesome hair?

And there's Strawberry signing!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Rain stopped already. We will get this one in, like it or not.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

2:20 or bust.

Still muggy and gross, only now it's wet, too.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Two pitches-to-contact, one flyout to the deepest, deepest part of the park... and one Eric Young-attempted-jump-save-thing on LaRoche that-- following the replay-- will go for a home run, eventually.

Harang seems something of an inverse three-true-outcomes guy these days.

Apparently not.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Today's Trivia: Who is the only player to play alongside Davey Johnson, Keith, AND Ron?

I think I've got the answer. D'you?

[Edgy MD]

Jerry Martin.

[Edgy MD]

Bowa, too.

[Frayed Knot]

RBI single by Recker to tie the game -- but three hits in the same inning was far too much good news at once for anyone to handle so Baxter took care of that by getting thrown out at 3B

[Zvon]

I'll let ya slide this time Bax. You didn't hesitate and they got ya by a Harper pubic hair.

[Zvon]

Lets give it right back home run derby style.

[Frayed Knot]

We're only being out-homered 12-0 in this series.
And it's not over yet.

That's the one I was thinking. (With the '85 cameo.)

That's no exaggeration? 12?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

10 whiffs for the Haranguer.
