IGT, Game 10, 4/11 NYM@LA (Gee vs. Skaggs)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bazooka Joe Smith on the bump.

[Zvon]

I disagree Gary. When Muffy rips one no man can stop the ball.

Hey, just saw this. How did they not run into each other? Wheeeew.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Germen in for Torres, Davis in for Satin to start the bottom of the 8th. Collins double-switches like it's a reflexive bodily function.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Slightly spooky moment as Angels fan reaches out to slap Granderson on the back after he makes the catch for the first out. I can't imagine he'll stay in his seat for long.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, look, a Colin Cowgill sighting.

[Zvon]

found it

4-4, 8th. Rice in to boil my water.

[Zvon]

OHHHHHHHHHwhat a Fkn throW!!!

Wright can't hold it. Holy cow, I didn't think Lags had any kind of chance. just woooow.

[Zvon]

Hey, this Lagares guy....we got something here.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, Wright let himself get screened. He's got to be positioned on the inside part of the bag there.

Whether it holds up, I don't know, but Tejada saved a run by getting the lead runner (Cowtown) on the Aybar grounder.

That was big. T was smooth.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dammit. Lagares was throwing against his body's momentum, too. Superb.

Table set for Trout, again. It's like the Mets are just fans at their crux, and really, really want to see the guy drive in runs tonight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Y'know how they say a pitcher's fastball "pops" when it's going right? Like, it just has that snap to it, beyond velocity?

Yeah, well, Farnsworth's fastball right now is, like, the antithesis of that.

I'll admit I'm a fan of this kid. He's from my back yard down here. And the early homer was nice in that sense, but no more. No more please.

Leave it up to Albert.

[Edgy MD]

So, you're assuring me that PUjols isn't good anymore, right?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The Farnsworthian location, though, is apparently pretty damn good. Phee-yew.

[Edgy MD]

Whew.

How about Framey d'Arnaud on strike two?

[Zvon]

wheeeeeeeeeeew

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd like it if Ike could park one here

[Frayed Knot]

Really living on the edge tonight with all those base runners for Trout & Albert

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

When he's done with baseball, Ernesto Frieri just needs to own a Zinfandel vineyard, doesn't he?

Little ride from Ike, but juuuuust a bit shy of where it needs to be.

[Zvon]

If I was the ump I would have called it a ball just cause the LA catcher walked away before I called it.

[Ceetar]

I hope the Mets can score in the 10th cause I really don't think I want to see Lannan. I also hope they GET to the 10th of course.

[Zvon]

Holy smokes that ump sucks.

Yikes! What are you doin up?!

would you believe I was too lazy to get up and get ready for bed?

I would.

FREE BASEBALL

[Frayed Knot]

Even when Tejada is making plays at SS he's often not making them cleanly.
He's rapidly becoming the king of turning 'maybe' GiDPs into 'no-shot' GiDPs either by backing up on the ball, making a slow transfer, or making a sloppy flip.

[Zvon]

I'm semi-optimistic about this season, and I don't mean to be a downer, but this game can't end well, can it?

Well, got past 9. Extra baseball. yay

He barely played last year, but I feel like he's always been over-aggressive and after the lead runners and waht not.
