IGT 80 7/1/12 New York Mets @ Former Brooklyn Bridegrooms
MFS62 replied to Ceetar's topic in Archived Game Threads
What's a chase percentage? What's a good number? Is it better to be higher or lower than that? Later -
Panda made up a 400,000 Wright lead in one day, then blew right past him. Looks to me like some of the Palo Alto/ Silicone Valley technicians did some heavily computerized voting. I recall one year when the Reds fans stuffed the ballot box for what was going to be 7 or 8 Reds to start the ASG. The then-Commish(?) realized that shenanigans had gone on, and replaced the Reds player (George Crowe?) with Stan Musial. I hope Selig has a similar WTF moment, grows a pair, and has Wright start.

If he keeps pitching like he has, he'll deserve his own edition. Later

Is it that as a right handed outfielder he immediately moves to among the top of our outfield prospect list. Later

Nice KTE, but that song only served to enrage me even more. The Dodgers played in Brooklyn. The name should have stayed here. I hat those motherfuckers ever since they moved to La-La Land. They don't deserve the name. Randy Newman wasn't always right. Later

But really, you can't go wrong with layered prosciutto and fontina, interlaced with five-year stints in the upper minors and simmered at low heat in a garlic sauce. And when you factor in the neverending breadsticks and inobtrusive-to-the-point-of-forgettable clubhouse presence, the Rottino is by far one of the Olive Garden's best values. Only when washed down with several glasses of their best vin. Later

He was claimed by Cleveland today. The journeyman starts a new journey. To make room for him, the Indians released Chris Schwinden. Later

JCL, is your kid hurt? Haven't seen his name in a box score for a while. Later

IGT Mets @ Cubs, June 25th - Keep Calm and Carry On

I hope they strongly enforce pooper-scooper laws, because I never want to accidentally step in a steaming pile of that starting lineup. Later -

Time to knock on Wood. Later -
Wilmer went 4-5 yesterday, with 2 doubles and 2 RBI. He's hitting .471 since his promotion to AA. Later

I laughed out loud at that comment about Bob Veale. I remember seeing Veale pitch and can appreciate how he felt about facing him. Later

Will calls most of the fans �Tylers and Trixies,� and notes that more are there to see and be seen, arriving from the bars across the street around the third inning, wandering around the ballpark in search of beer for three innings, then retreating back to the bars. That pretty well characterizes the fans in the field box and grandstand seats. But if you're going to sit in the bleachers, the fans there rival (but don't equal) the MFY Bleacher Bums for rabidity. The Ventura one could generate that same reaction as wearing another team's jersey to a (hockey) Rangers game since he now manages the hated corss-town rivals. Later

No day? No recognition? No dinner? No sports jacket? Sounds like he also needs a hug. If any of you meet Young Ed (he'll always be "young Ed" to me), please give him one. Later

If Rizzo has been playing in a league where they allow curve balls, that scares me. Good KTE. Later

I might want to add a vote for #4. Just ran across this quote: John Adams: "At a stage in life when other men prosper, I'm reduced to living in Philadelphia!" Its from the show 1776, but hey, it says it all. Later

Great KTE. But you went too soft on Jeter. Are you sure you never got a gift bag with an autographed picture from him? Or did Jeter go soft on you? Later

Just heard Goose Gossage being interviewed by Michael Kay (yeah, I know). They were talking about RA Dickey and the knuckleball. Goose said when he was a rookie, he would warm up Jack Fisher. I don't remember Jack being considered a "knuckleball pitcher". MAybe it was an occasional pitch or just something he worked on. Anyone have any memories of him throwing it as a Met? Later
