IGT 05/15 - Mets at Rockies

[Guest cooby classic]

They are forcing stuff down our throats. Ads on unis, challenge replays, blah.


Oh and did my husband tell me someone suggestead they cut the games to seven innings???

[ashie62]

Knock three on the bullpen if you want me...

[Zvon]

I can't do that 7 inning thing. The game is fine. People have to slow down.


Ugh, deGrom done @102 pitches. Henderson.

3-2 Mets

[Edgy MD]

Nothing ugh about painting the corner for strike three on his last pitch.

And nothing ugh about Big Jim Henderson.

Big. Jim. Henderson.

[Edgy MD]

Now that's an ugh.

[Zvon]

There was a second confrontation in that game. What made it interesting to me was the coaching situation. On the Bleu Jays' side, they had a three manager day, after ejections of both manager John Gibbons (tossed for arguing balls and strikes) and DeMarlo Hale (likewise after his pitcher plunked Prince Fielder). I don't know who the third manager was, presumably hitting coach Brook Jacoby.

On the Rangers' side, the coaching staff were taking their lives in their hands, trying to get in between their red-topped players and the Jays, while themselves wearing blue pullovers that made them look like a perfectly good target to a raging player. Rougned Odor landed a heckuva haymaker, but I'd sure hate to be on the wrong side of an Adrian Belte wallop.

Footnote to the game was that Matt Bush walked off with his first career victory.

The road trip is over. Thank you lord.

I believe the baseball commish already stated it was possible to the point of ballparking "patch size" even.

[bmfc1]

John Gibbons only came out to argue after his pitcher stared at the home plate umpire which lead to the catcher saying something which lead to Gibbons coming out to defend his players... the opposite of what Terry did after the absurd call against Lagares.

Bring back April!

I will later tonight. Or before the Nats series anyway. I'm going to post all season highlight cards for the month of April.

I already went on record saying it was a harmless slide. That was before I saw it in real time. But still, not bad enough to get slugged for.

Look in the 3rd image. Whats going on with the guy with the hair?

Man, yesterday we had Rose/Fosse, today Rose/Harrelson!

[Fman99]

Fuck these umpires.

[Edgy MD]

Adrian Beltre squeezes you, you just go to sleep real peaceful like.

[metirish]

Umps suck but so does the team right now, need to win the Nats series. #LGM

[Zvon]

This is the third card I've seen out there, but this one has a back!

Excellent work.
A friend of mine says:"Z, you're slippin'." and I said "FU, he's not a Met."

Another thing I didn't know when I first saw the fight was that Bautista was HBP.

And as if on cue, the Philly '76ers announced today that their uniform sponsor for the "three-year pilot" program (yeah, like they're going to let it expire after three years!) that will begin in the 2017-18 season will be ticket broker STUB HUB (how appropriate).
They are the first team to publicly announce their on-uni sponsor and that the 2.5" x 2.5" patch (upper left chest) will net the team $5 million per season.
