IGT 121: Mets are a mile high in Denver

[Edgy MD]

That 'uz ball four, Muff.

[Zvon]

Cripes. The Rockies owe us all 5 minutes.

Thats fucked up, TC should have ran out there. But I suppose he would like to get the same treatment.

[Edgy MD]

Terry HAS gotten the same treatment.

What makes it weird is that he didn't seem to be asking the ump who made the call, whose decision it should be.

I got the Doodoo Bloos.

Can't be good.

Tacking on the 1st inning double, if Cespedes goes deep again tonight (and he might still have two more cracks at it) I believe he'll tie the all-time Total Bases record for one game.
Joe Aadcock (Braves - late '50s) had a double along with his 4 HR game for 18 TBs

[Edgy MD]

Man, does this Kahnle guy look like an eighties throwback or what?

He should be named an honorary 1993 Phil, who were culturally 80s themselves.

[Zvon]

Meh, we'll take it. 5 hits. Amazin'

[Edgy MD]

15 total bases.

And there are five more outs to go and he's seven spots away from getting another AB - and at the rate this game is going I'd say it's almost likely to happen.
So the prospect of 19 TBs is in play.

Plus we might even win the game.

He won't be looking like much of anything for long at this rate.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, deesnutz, that ball four was bogus.

[Edgy MD]

Somebody poke that man/woman in the Phillies hat. I'm getting creeped out.

[Elster88]

This is kind of fun. I like to visit Coors Field but I wouldn't want to live there.

[Zvon]

Grandy almost lost one.

13-9 Mets, NY up in the 9th.


Gimme a caption for the Cespedes card I'm gonna whip up.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Only Mets' fans left.

[Zvon]

ughhhhhhhhhh. And he ripped it.

[Elster88]

Well they got him out. That was a shot though.

[Edgy MD]

Fonzie, your legacy is secure.

Now let's win. And yeah, let Clippard start the inning.

[Edgy MD]

Cespedes' stat sheet includes two positions played.

[Guest d'Kong76]

[Zvon]

What a great game.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

We got ourselves a Triple Happiness!

Here's an oldy but goody...

And somehow this game was five minutes shorter than the Yanx 7-3 loss to Cleveland.
God how I hate the American League.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just finished watching this game about five minutes ago. I went to bed last night knowing that the Nationals had lost, but completely unaware of anything about the Mets-Rockies game. When I was walking the dog this morning before I watched the game I found myself thinking that the magic number was either 38 or 37. Happily, I now know that it's 37.

When the score went to 7-1 I was thinking that the game wouldn't have much suspense. I was wrong.

Also, right now I'm willing to have the Mets give Yoenis Cespedes a twenty-year contract. I expect that feeling will fade a bit.

Am I the only one who noticed this wan, androgynous, haunting figure sitting directly behind the catcher � motionless, head tilted back, staring into the gray distance?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I didn't, but I was watching the Colorado telecast.

Nope, I noticed. I, too, was creeped out.
