IGT June 7 Mets at Gints

What part-- the grandstanding on-field work, or the country-music side gig?

His entire body of work.


Wow, Bart got out of it. Nice.

[Zvon]

I think the problem with Kevin is that he sounds like a kid sometimes.

I never thought of Gary for his voice. More for his fan view & knowledge. But he does have a great baseball voice.

[Zvon]

Posey sucks! And I really mean that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I think the thing about Kevin is, he's too even-keel, especially at the top end of the excitement spectrum. He describes well, conveys information well... but emotes pretty poorly. He's like the Anti-Gus-Johnson.

[Frayed Knot]

Good lord they're just trying to give this game away!!

[Edgy MD]

Thingz gettin' messy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

EVERYONE's trying to give this game away. It's just that the Giants are the only ones polite enough to accept.

Side note: I think Kevin would be better off trying the Harry Kalas route, and going laconic. He just doesn't do "excited" well, vocally.

[Zvon]

DAMN!

That could be it. In any case, there's a thing about Kevin.

[Zvon]

UGHHHHHH, what a try by T.

[Zvon]

Duda, theres a thing first basemen call "a stretch"...

[Zvon]

Hey Posey! Maybe we should change the rules so you get four strikes! Ha!

[Frayed Knot]

On the positive side, both Raphael Soriano and Craig Kimbrel have blown 9th inning saves tonight.
Nats @ Padres are in the 10th inning tied at 2; Snakes still batting in the 9th vs Kimbrel's Braves.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, at this time last night the game was already over for 20 minutes - and here we are in just the top of the 7th tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Joe West helping us out.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

West takes, West gives. West is capricious and capacious; he blows hot and cold. West is El Nino.

Jeurys, on the other hand, is El Hombre.

I wonder what the Wilpons think when Keith starts going on and on about how great it is to have a stadium without all the loud, piped-in music and scoreboard directed cheers?
It won't change anything, but I hope he keeps harping on it.

[Edgy MD]

Let's get insured.

Oh, I think it matters. The team looks for feedback on this sort of thing all the time.

[Edgy MD]

Here come the gulls.

[Frayed Knot]

I wonder how long it's been since the LOOGY Lopez went 2 complete innings?

[Zvon]

I feel confident in Mejia.

[Edgy MD]

I'm tempted to ask if that was your final answer, but it would be hypocritical of me.

[Frayed Knot]

One-run save on the road against the meat of the order.
This will be a MAN-SIZED save if he can pull it off.

[Edgy MD]

Pagan has been very steppy-outy all game.

No sir. That would be comedic.


As was that. WTF happened there?

[Zvon]

omg. DUDA! STRETCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

They just keep inventing ways not to win games.

[Frayed Knot]

Kiss this one goodbye.
