Mets @ Natz, 6/28 (IGT #76)

[Edgy MD]

So, down 3-0, and (the ever-healthy) Grandy, who crashed into a fence earlier, is out of the game.



Pearl = baseball insider lingo for a spotless, brand-new baseball, fresh out of the box.

[Edgy MD]

Way to make them throw a strike, Mets. Stay with that approach.

[Edgy MD]

No more pop-rock nicknames for you, James Loney!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Bases jammed! Oh, never mind.

[Frayed Knot]

Once they load the bases, is there even any reason to take the remaining ABs in the inning?

[Centerfield]

3-0.

Might as well be 30-0.

[Frayed Knot]

And that inning even had a hit with a RiSP ... but it still didn't score a run because we don't do that.

[Centerfield]

Resolve fading. Will give it one more inning.

If they score I stay up. If not, bed.

Score? What's that?
This team couldn't score drugs in a club at 2 AM.

Later

[Guest d'Kong76]

Stretch time, not Monte-worthy...

[Centerfield]

Ok. Night folks.

Tomorrow we start a fund to send Ben Grimm to Peru.

Alternatively, we could just brainstorm fun things to talk about other than baseball.

[Guest d'Kong76]

There's $1.26 in the CC, it's a start!

[Frayed Knot]

The following inning we got the two-out hit. Of course there was nobody on at that point.

[Frayed Knot]

I think the only conclusion you can come to is that most hitters simply don't care about triples anymore.
You would think that it would be one of the cooler things to do and that batters would get a kick out of it, but apparently not.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh well, it's not like we have to face Scherzer tomorrow with a replacement pitcher.

Oh wait.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I have to watch the train wreck to the end.

[Frayed Knot]

Nats have 7 hits tonight: 5 of them went for extra bases, 5 of them came with two outs.
Take that combo and mix in [u:1q7ych98]Seven[/u:1q7ych98] free passes and the game becomes no contest.

Just dying to see three more weak pop-outs?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Even we bailed on this one. Was VERY cool of Robles to give us a ball. he also retieved a dropped cellphone of our neighbor but not before "selfy-ing" himself with it. Hes a fun loving bastard, he gave me such a look till he was sure the ball wound up with the kid.

Grandy hit that fence pretty hard.

[bmfc1]

It's possible that the effort he made for the Lunchbucket family drained him so much that he had nothing left which resulted in his giving up two runs.

[Guest cooby]

When I heard the pregame say a major league debut against the Mets I thought oh no

Cast your vote!

[Edgy MD]

Best yet.
