IGT 05/27 - Buccos at Metsies

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, Johnny.

[Zvon]

So Tejeda's not totally useless.

[Edgy MD]

Tejada rulez and you all know it.

Meanwhile Ralphers being honored by both unis tonight.

I like the Pirates one. Not as much as ours, but that is really nice.

Great AB by Duda in drawing the walk. Buc pitcher is past 100 pitches. G'night Volquez.

I am listening to Howie/Josh on XM thanks to WPIX and FIOS. It's not as good as watching it but not enough to make me switch back to the despicable Time Warner, just to get those WPIX games back.

[Edgy MD]

Josh Harrison isn't that big, but that's a very DaveParkerian beard he's rocking.

[Edgy MD]

McCutcheon up. Hit to Lageres, Cutch!

Or better yet, hit it near Lagares!

[Frayed Knot]

We still need five or six more runs.

more of them this year it seems. That's pretty lame.

Meanwhile MY Fios apparently successfully gives me WGN (could've sworn it used to be blacked out..maybe that was on Optimum) so I watched some Cubs v Giants last night.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

WGN's been on FiOS for a while now. (You get some White Sox too, should you be in the mood for Hawk-Harrelson-bleating-featuring, non-MFY not-quite-real-baseball.)

Two down. Keep tap-dancing, ExHawky.

We should have them by the end of the week.

[Frayed Knot]

Verducci isn't going to like this game anymore than the Dodger game from last week.

And now neither do I.

[nymr83]

Niese just fell apart there, ugh. A few close pitches called balls but hard to blame the ump when you walk 3 in the inning.

[Zvon]

Dammit. Niese lost his kool and his lead.

[Zvon]

Black a little amped. Lil bit.

[Zvon]

If any team should know how to get Davis, it would be us.

[Zvon]

Tejeda falls back into the useless category. I must have missed his double earlier. And he scored too. Still, it's what have you done for me this last inning lil guy.

Now MLB.TV is about 3 seconds faster than WPIX. Thats wacky stuff.


LAGGY!!!! Thank God for Lagares.

[Zvon]

There ya go! Take some chances on the bases! The Bucs had to execute and they didn't!

4-2 Mets.

[Zvon]

I do agree with Hudgens about Met fans at Citi being dickish to their own team, but I think after the 3rd K I'd have a smidgeon of boooos for Grandy tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, well, a walk too.

And Tejada has been solid, error aside.

[Edgy MD]

I dunno if it's a birthmark or what, but Tabata looks like he has a tattoo of a lipstick kiss on his neck under his ear.

[Frayed Knot]

Walking guys in front of McCutcheon when holding a 2-run lead = really bad idea
Doing it twice in consecutive innings is even worse.

[Edgy MD]

Black is up in the zone. Somebody might McNnail one of those.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

DON'T YOU DARE HURT HIS PRECIOUS FACE, MCCUTCHEN

[Edgy MD]

Wow, you don't want to count on Abreu to cut ballz off, but nice job.

[Zvon]

Black making it awfully hard to like him. You got the stuff Vic-THROW STRIKES!

oooo, that was a nice one.

Gabby Sanchez, usually a Met killer. Not tonight. Nice K Black.

[Frayed Knot]

Black the Quick goes to some breaking stuff to get himself out of a jam.
I think all three strikes in that AB by Sanchez were off-speed and were all looking.

[Edgy MD]

For a guy tagged as a wild child, he sure placed those last two curves nicely.

[Zvon]

Recker, don't grow that blotchy beard! Your face must be unobstructed!!

Or is that just some dirt?
