IGT 8/9/14 NYM @ PHI: Philadelphia Geedom

[Edgy MD]

Moyer acknowledged it was generally true, but insisted HE'D throw over three or four on occasion to keep the runner honest. But he said it wasn't in lefties' "makeup" and he'd have remind himself to do it.

He also said that when righties throw over, they almost always throw a curve or breaking pitch on the next pitch.

[Edgy MD]

Heckuvan at-bat by both batter and pitcher there. Both were outdone by that Brooksrobinsonian play by Kodiashi, though.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

King of all Blacks.

[Frayed Knot]

The thing about a 12 pitch AB against Papelbon is that it takes up about 8 or 9 minutes.


btw Keith, lay off the bat boy. He's in the dugout and if that gets in Ruiz's way then that's Cooch's problem.

[Edgy MD]

Keith is very into dugout etiquette.

[Edgy MD]

Even when he's playing no-doubles, it's hard to dump a ball in front of Laggy.

Moiph flashin' some leather!

Listening via XM/iPhone so you'll forgive my lack of participation here, the online feed is a good 3-4 minutes behind and I don't want you sumbitches ruining the ending for me.

[Edgy MD]

Did you get to the part where the basilisk runs out on the field yet?

[Frayed Knot]

While the Mets are striving towards the finish line in this game, Dave Stoeller and his buddies are striving towards the finish line in 'The Little 500' on the other channel.
I have faith in both tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Just saw a Gary Maddox shot. Seems to have more hair than he had when he retired.

He's the black HoJo.

[Edgy MD]

Is Ken Giles related to Warren Giles?

[Edgy MD]

Are we going to have another 40-inning series in Philadelphia?

[Frayed Knot]

10th straight NYM extra inning game that's gone at least until the 11th inning.
Gary says that's a club record.

[Edgy MD]

Strange record.

No-Doubles backfires on the other guys a bit.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Murph, you had a HEWJ hole between first and second.

[Edgy MD]

No Dubs kinda worked to our favor there, too.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, stick with Campbell here (rather than go to MdD) ... better contact hitter.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Big walk for Campy

[Edgy MD]

Ryno is too young to start looking like Manuel, but he kinda does.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dude

[Frayed Knot]

GO CUTTERS!!!

[Edgy MD]

DEWDAH

[Frayed Knot]

Justin DeFratus (note: No little d) sounds like a fruity kind of soft drink.


Can't believe the Nats @ Atlanta are just starting up right now following a long rain delay!
Ten minutes after 11 PM EDT and they're in the bottom of the 1st.

[Lefty Specialist]

Dude abiding.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Travis put the 'no' in d'Arnaud.

[Lefty Specialist]

One run not enough. Fasten your seatbelts and put your tray tables in their upright and locked position.

He just got us a frame strike, though.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

And a nice play on that squib in front of the plate. I turned a play just like that into a 3 run triple in work softball last night

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Byrdy here. Yikes
