ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

[Edgy MD]

The Mets celebrate my anniversary by sending Seth Lügo to the mound in candy apple gray, challenging him to show some hart and grant the team a win after their 17-5 cubbing of a drubbing yesterday made no sense at all.

Something I learned today is that Jen-Ho Tseng makes his debüt for the Cubs, continuing their defense of last season's celebrated summer.

Happy Anniversary, Edgy. Didn't you post the pictures here? IIRC it was an outdoor wedding. Right?

Maybe if we can hold them to just a few field goals tonight we have a shot.
Need to tighten up the red-zone D.

Jen-Ho Tseng, making his ML debut tonight -- 22 y/o RHP from Taiwan singed in 2013 by the Cubs as an amateur FA
Split 2017 between AA Tennessee (15 starts - 2.99 ERA) and AAA Iowa (9 starts - 1.80 ERA)

I'm encouraging the Mets to victory by offering the game up to the late Grant Hart of Hüsker Dü.

Join me!

Hey! I know that song! Not that version, of course, (because I'm musically challenged) but I know that song!

[Edgy MD]

Let it help you make it, after all.

Long-ass first inning.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, this is a Mets broadcast. I don't want to see dancing in the Cubs bullpen.

[Zvon]

If Smith keeps hitting homers I won't complain about his....his....his weight transfer during swings. Yea, that's the ticket.

[Edgy MD]

Does the Wrigley Field organ player know any music besides "Little Bit of Soul"?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is awful.

Which, letting their 1st baseman steal multiple bases uncontested or watching while their 260 lb knee-reconstructed C/LF takes extra bases left and right?

[Zvon]

Things went south rather quickly. My MLBtv feed froze a few minutes ago so I don't even know how it happened.

Last I saw we were up 5-4. Suddenly it's 9-5 home team.


We let Rizzo steal twice?

[Edgy MD]

And now Rosario is lollygagging it to first.

"Don't be surprised, be ready," indeed.

[Edgy MD]

OK, he's hurting.

Mercy sakes.

[Edgy MD]

And d'Arnaud is out also.

[Guest d'Kong76]

How many more hubcaps can they possibly pop in 15 more games?

[Zvon]

Rosario pulled from the game, possibly lame. d'Arnaud also removed. No word yet why.

Not twice, twice without a throw!! 2nd base once and 3rd once.
When he stole 2nd he had such a big jump I thought d'Arnaud was going to throw the ball directly to 3rd just to keep him at 2nd.

I saw the first one. Lugo could have easily stepped off and caught him midway but he gave it no mind.

d'Arnaud: twisted knee.
Rosario: sore hip flexor.
