IGT 05/29 - Dodgers at Mets

[Zvon]

I'll take a stupid umpiring decision here please.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd reject this challenge if it were up to me ... but I also have no idea what the rule is at this point.

[Edgy MD]

Why, no. I have no idea what happened just there.

Ugh, neither did the crowd. What a fuckin mess they are making of my game.

I thought for 3 seconds that they called the DP and Utley had to go back. Cuzza the stupid umps signals.

OE: and I was dumbfounded for those 3 seconds

[Lefty Specialist]

Can't Loney get here any faster than Tuesday?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

You think Loney would hit Kershaw any better?

20-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio? Jebus.

[Zvon]

Gah, that might have been the catch Lags was destined to make.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I half-expected Johnny to make that catch in stride. I forget-- does he play that shallow against EVERYONE? It seems like, at least with a guy like Pederson, some guys are likely making hard contact or none at all, right?

[Edgy MD]

First dude to strike out 300 since Randy Johnson.

We don't need James Loney. We need Daniel Murphy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Said it before, and I'll say it forever and ever, like a certain hurler pouring 88-mph fastballs into the corners: other guys may be more exciting, but damn my eyes if Colon isn't the most fascinating Mets pitcher to watch work.

I've been watching that, thinking ESPN would switch to the Mets as soon as the softball game ended. The the game was tied in last inning. By accident I found the Mets were on the next channel!

This game was scheduled for ESPN2 because they thought they might have playoff basketball tonight. Normally they'd have the hoops on ABC but they've got racing there right now so that's why baseball was due to be bumped over to the poor neighborhood.
But when that series ended in six the main channel was freed up.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Walker interrupts the ESPN elevation of Kershaw to sainthood with a ball off the wall!

[Frayed Knot]

C'mon Juan. This might be our last best chance to score.

Ah. Makes sense.

Meanwhile, I learned I couldn't get a hit off one off those softball pitchers if I had a bat as big as a piece of plywood. Wow.

[Guest cooby]

Every time I hear Kershaw's name I think of that doofus that played for Houston back in the 80's that wanted Jello in his contract...who was that? Big fat guy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Kerfeld. The epitome of baseball whi-- um... colorless, classless human.

Nasty little wang on the side of the neck for Saint Clay.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Damn.

Agreed #1.

Whipped up some ammo for the next umpiring fiasco. Aren't we overdue?

?

[Edgy MD]

By hook or by crook, Mets. Score a freakin' run.

[Guest cooby]

Take that Puig! And are you related to Rich?


Yeah, Charlie Kerfield. Hayseed.

It's gotta start there, doesn't it. I predict fireworks.

[Guest cooby]

I hope so. I wouldn't want to forsake girls effing softball for no Mets runs

[Edgy MD]

MLB.tv gave me the Fox telecast last night, but won't give me the ESPN one tonight.

Freaking Disney.

Consider yourself lucky. You missed Aaron F'n Boone try to imitate Keith's swing.

And the Random Baseball Team is doing absolutely nothing against Kershaw.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Overall, good outing by Colon. I know that Kershaw is among the elite pitchers in MLB, but the offense needs to do something. Impossible to win any game without scoring a run.

[Guest cooby]

If this asshole pitches on the night we are going to the Pirates vs Dodgers game in Pittsburgh, I am throwing my ticket into one of the three rivers. I hate boring pitchers

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Cabrera KABOOM!

I'm tired of all the reviews in baseball.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

THE CALIFORNIAN IS CUT! THE CALIFORNIAN IS CUT!

Nice Ass-drubbin'.

[Zvon]

If he can keep it at 2 we have more than a chance. Everyone on twitter has already given up.

Cabreraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!





Ugh, even if he touched it, it was gonna hit the rail. They overturn this Ill freak
