IGT 4/13/14 NYM @ LAA: Get That Dirt Off Bartolo's Shoulder

[G-Fafif]

The ageless pitcher versus the dandruff shampoo pitchman. Take another series, whydon'tcha?

[Ceetar]

Colon puts his campaign for NL DH baseball on hold for one start, as he doesn't bat today.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'll come out and say it: This is a Big Game ®.

Wonder if Grandyman gets the day off considering the lefty and the fact that the top half of the order has been awful.

Colon Again Naturally P

[Guest themetfairy]

ROFL!

[Frayed Knot]

Angels say: "get a whiff of that Colon"
Or, more grammatically: "Get a whiff of that, Colon"

[Zvon]

Tick tac toe, 3 in a row.

And then a double.

[Frayed Knot]

I wonder if serving three in a row up to guys in their 20s (Trout), 30s (Pujols) and 40s (Ibanez) in that order is a first?

Great observation.

Another double.

[Zvon]

Damn. We score in the first again and then...that. Whatever that was.

4 runs, 3 HRs, 2 doubles.

Hm, Grandy with a nice single.

Hell, I'm just glad that the Angels lineup today didn't have Gary Pettis and Reggie Jackson following Ibanez.

[Zvon]

Oy. He shudda a-rodded it out of Wilsons glove.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Jeez!! I thought game was a little after four and I put it
on outside to see what they were blabbin' about on the
pre-game and JACK-JACK-JACK! Ouch!

You didn't mistake the action for a highlight video?

Colon pitching in third. Youch, even the outs are ridiculously hard. We need innings from you Bo Fat! Get it together.

[Zvon]

Walk, double, triple. 6-1 LA.

I think I'll go paint the chimney.

Single. 7-1. 4th

[Guest d'Kong76]

I think I'll go get a colon-oscopy.

[Ceetar]

I think it's time for another coat of polyurethane. In the room with the disconnected TV. the Mets game looks good on it right about now.

[Zvon]

Shit. I don't have a chimney.

[Zvon]

d' turns himself in for a run. If we only needed one run that woulda been great.

[Zvon]

Conger with a 2 run bomb.
9-2

I think I'll go build a chimney.

[ashie62]

We're only down nine...

[Edgy MD]

This was the Free Game of the Day at mlb.tv.

Thanks, fuckos.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Down to their last out, need two touchdowns!

[ashie62]

It can only get better....

[MFS62]

I think at least one "Memories Of ... " thread should be warming up in the bullpen.

Later

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Great weather we had today, huh? Sure did enjoy it, in between those twenty-minute segments of the day when I checked the radio.

[duan]

I didn't get to watch the whole thing, but in the first 3/4 innings the mets were definitely getting totally done on balls & strikes. Sure Bartolo didn't exactly help, but it was genuinely unreal to watch again & again a pitch WAY low/inside/outside
being called a strike.

[Zvon]

I think this just about wraps it up:


Going for the Bugs Bunny HR conga line look.
