IGT 05/12 Metsies at Skankees

[Guest d'Kong76]

He battled.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I love when people say about a FA/this place, "This stadium suits his swing."

This stadium suits anyone-- platoon shortstop, pinch-hitting pitcher, monkey with a novelty bat-- who can hit it to right/right-center, like, 1/3 of the time.

We just need a few more pop up homers. Or what's Youngs doing will work.

[Frayed Knot]

Apparently medium fly balls count as runs in American League parks.
I really need to better familiarize myself with their rules.

[Zvon]

I must thank the Skanks for making the orange brims hat suddenly look okay to me. Cause those white brimmers are awful.

Nice catch Dude.

Hah, figures, Jeter, 3 hits. Lil dribbly hits.

44% of his hits are infield squibs.

44% of his homers would be outs in other parks

Can we trade Granderson to the Yankees for a bag of balls? he BELONGS in this park and will keep striking/flying out in ours.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'll allow it.

Assisted mightily by Ruben and Murph's Jeteresque fielding range.

That could be the first HR in the Bronx by someone wearing a #3 New York uniform since Ruth retired!


btw, loving that 3-0 swing

Huge- no matter where

4-4 METS!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I have to say, I enjoy the 7 Line Army bid'ness a bit more as a road-deployed weapon.

[Guest d'Kong76]

How did they get a whole section? I mean, I know they
are a powerhouse but a whole section?

Will they be there tomorrow?

[Gwreck]

That was really crappy, Bartolo.

[Fman99]

Ugh. Colon is taking a pounding out there.

[Frayed Knot]

That last hit might have been the first time missing Lagares out in CF
He either catches that or at least doesn't play it into a triple

[Gwreck]

The Solarte sequence was really poor. Your team just got the game tied and then you went and shut the bed. Just poor, Bartolo.

[Gwreck]

I also am confused why Meija was so quickly yanked out of the rotation but we keep putting Colon out there every 5 days unquestioned.

[Guest d'Kong76]

d'ARnot with the gun to center.

[Theoldmole]

A sinkhole in Yankee Stadium? I'm listening on radio. What's it look like?

You know the answer to that.

If Mejia doesn't accept his new role he's done as a Met. I do feel that they should have given him the start in this series, but I thought it was crazy to sit EYj going into Colorado. So what do I know?

It was really cool - it swallowed up the entire RF bleachers.

Actually the new Yanqui pitcher just didn't like the ditch in front of the rubber and they had to repack it.

Nice!

[Guest d'Kong76]

They filled that hole nice and quick!!

[Fman99]

What a joke of a right field fence this park is. 7-6 now after the two run shot from EY.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Another Kaboom, I like Yankee Stadium!
