IGT:9/24:Metropolitans vs. Redstockings @ Cin./ Stop Leake!

[Zvon]

Good evening Mr. Pool

Your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to stop the Reds pitcher Michael Leake (14-6, 3.21 ERA) who has been utterly dominant of late, winning three straight starts behind a 0.84 ERA.
He's thrown a career-high 20 1-3 scoreless innings over that stretch and is also trying to win a career-high fourth straight start, and he hasn't put together a longer single-season winning streak since beginning his career 5-0 over his first 11 starts of 2010.

Can't choose pictures this time Mr. Pool. This is your team:


As usual, if any of your CPF force are caught or captured, the GM will disavow any knowledge of your activity.
Good luck, Mr. Pool

Stupid, headwrappin', can't-spoil-a-banana bunch.

Playball! Forever Young! MuffyPop! Mr. Wright.

[Zvon]

42 stolen bases for Young folks.

[Zvon]

Bullshit Randazzo!

[Zvon]

[bigpurple:2dtz9vef]OH YEA![/bigpurple:2dtz9vef]
Take that Choo!

Now does it matter if you keep 17 as your uni number?

[Zvon]

Real great throw by Lagares shuts the Reds down cold.
0-0

[Zvon]

Ha! Bruce sucks! Not joking this time, he really does suck.

[Edgy MD]

Tovar > Cozar

[Zvon]

Choo don't throw as good as Laggy. Hope he's okay with playing left.
Bax doubles and Tovar drives him home nicely, taking second on the Choo.throw.

1-0 Mets

WHOA! Tovar out at the plate on Niese single. Nice throw by Bruce.

And I cant hit post before Young bounces one over the CF wall!

Still, 1-0

[Edgy MD]

Teufel overplaying his hand there. It's a bad enough idea to run on Bruce, but doing it with him playing shallow against the pitcher is sooey-side.

Mets have two doubles and two singles this inning, but only one run.

[Zvon]

Mike has sprung a Leake! Get him Muffy!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

MURPHED.

Nice at-bat.

Murphy puts it right in the usher's gut.

Got out in a hurry, too.

Took him long enough.

[Zvon]

haha! We knock him out in the 2nd. Impossible mission accomplished!

[Edgy MD]

That Kaboom is so good that it regulates my bowel movements.

[Edgy MD]

Shortest outing of Leake's [crossout:1s1nj4n0]Correa[/crossout:1s1nj4n0] [crossout:1s1nj4n0]Korea[/crossout:1s1nj4n0] career.

[Edgy MD]

By the way, this being the Reds, it is crucial to keep the heat on.

[Zvon]

Niese better take this lead and find his cruise control on the mound.
Fraziers doubles the start the 2nd. Come on Niese. Keep things in order.

OOO, nice play by Tovar.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Call me unrealistic, but there's more than a little Rey-Rey there, isn't there?

[Zvon]

Fraziers a Satin wannabe when it comes to running. But he scores.

4-1 Mets

[Frayed Knot]

Judging by how this game has gone so far, I half expect to see the foreman from 'ON THE WATERFRONT' to come out and say: "OK, everybody [crossout]works[/crossout] hits today"

[Edgy MD]

Duke and Niese got the same exact hit.

[Edgy MD]

Choo is a bit thick in the frame, I think. And maybe a guy who'd be carrying extra weight by the back end of a long-term (or possibly a medium-term) contract.

Don't know about that but it was perfectly played, especially considering the deflection. Showed good range, movement and arm. Which is great cause I have no idea what this Tovar guy can do. Nice to see these youngsters up and playing.

Also got hisself seriously schooled by the younger CFer on how to throw to home.
Lagares got rid of his faster and was considerably more accurate.

[Zvon]

Laggy with the full swing bunt single to deep short.

Beer weight?

Great interview with EYsr.
