IGT, Mets @ O's 6/17

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 01:37 PM

This is a true story: Junior Lunchpail's best little pals are named Koji and Redding, just like tonight's opposing starters. Redding is a chick, but she's named after Otis, not Tim.

Cora - ss Martinez - lf Beltran - cf Wright - 3b Church - rf Sheffield - dh Murphy - 1b Schneider - c Castillo - 2b Redding - sp I like the symmetry there with junior Lunchpail, a wining symmetry I believe.

Redding is a chick, but she's named after Otis, not Tim. Last-names-as-firsts very popular these days. I'm thinking of naming my first kid Weiner or Lipschitz.

That settles it. I'm naming my kid "Hagar."

Saltalamacchia Schwartz. Kranepool McGee. Wockenfuss Marino. The possibilities from baseball alone are endless.

I should add that Koji is not Japanese. Parents today are batshit crazy, I should know.

metirish Jun 17 2009 02:08 PM

A lot of rain down there apparently , although Lennon reports that the tarp is coming off

="John Cougar Lunchbucket"]I should add that Koji is not Japanese. Parents today are batshit crazy, I should know. Nah, that's just a heapin' helping of pretension (and 21st-Century Orientalism). Batshit would be actively trying to make the kid Japanese. Still, though, pretty funny. (Grew up with a Yuki myself that was whiter than Tom Cruise's teeth.)

Frayed Knot Jun 17 2009 02:19 PM

Y'mean Kobe Bryant isn't Japanese either?!?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 03:02 PM

The bad guys: Brian Roberts - 2B Adam Jones - CF Nick Markakis - RF Aubrey Huff- 1B Melvin Mora - 3B Luke Scott - DH Nolan Reimold - LF Matt Wieters - C Robert Andino - SS Koji Uehara - RHP

Batshit Farms Park

Lets hope the Redding Line has the Express going

Nice stuff by Kevin B getting Boog Powell last night and Palmer tonight talking about the '69 World Series in the pre-games.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 06:43 PM

Go Sheff. Go Muffy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 06:52 PM

Big trip here for Cora. Sacks juicy, 1 out.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 17 2009 06:54 PM

What's a professional hitter. Yeeha, Cora!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 06:56 PM

Jerry yanks the Fart after he destroyed a double in his last turn, going with Tatis vs the left Hendrickson.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 06:57 PM

Tatis makes Jerry look stoopit.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 17 2009 06:58 PM

Grrrr. Double plays with bases loaded and one out are horrible.

Frayed Knot Jun 17 2009 07:23 PM

I think Jerry's overdoing the switch thing here -- as Parnell was cruising along but gets pulled for a lefty/righty deal. Meanwhile we've still got this innings plus two more after this (and maybe extras) to cover and both Green & Rodriguez were heavily used last night.

Kong76 Jun 17 2009 07:27 PM

Log on, and phwam

Frayed Knot Jun 17 2009 07:28 PM

That the switch didn't work is just an extra kick in the nads.

Kong76 Jun 17 2009 07:30 PM

Holy crap play by Cora, you'll be seeing that one all week.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 17 2009 07:32 PM

Another Stokes sighting. Fingers crossed for tonight's performance.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 07:32 PM

Great play by Cora. I think Jerry wanted to be careful to get Parnell a good outing but Feliciano can't be money every time. Same with David Wright I guess. Boy is he having a rotten time at the plate tonight.

Frayed Knot Jun 17 2009 07:38 PM

I suppose that in a tie game you've got to look for every edge you can get ... but I thought that one smacked of desperation where it wasn't needed even before he did it and left him with little in reserve if/when things went wrong.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 17 2009 07:40 PM

Nice swing, Sheff. Let's go young Daniel. On a side note, I'm watching the O's feed tonight and Thorne/Palmer are probably the best non-Mets local announcers I've heard all season. I'll always remember Bob Murphy and Thorne from '86.

Frayed Knot Jun 17 2009 07:45 PM

Gotta hold them here and hope the top of the lineup gets it done in the 9th Beltran & Wright can't suck all night, can they?

Kong76 Jun 17 2009 07:55 PM

LET'S

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 07:56 PM

GO

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 07:58 PM

uh, METS MFYs just lost to the Nats, anyway

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 08:00 PM

Hey Tatis with a sneaky dubble down the line.

Frayed Knot Jun 17 2009 08:00 PM

Has Beltran gone after the first pitch each time tonight?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 08:00 PM

What did Beltran see 4 pitches tonight?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 17 2009 08:01 PM

And that's that.

Kong76 Jun 17 2009 08:02 PM

That's that, if I wasn't an addict I'd find a new drug.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2009 07:51 AM

]Has Beltran gone after the first pitch each time tonight? ]What did Beltran see 4 pitches tonight? The answer to these simultaneous asked questions is ... well, not quite, it merely seemed that way. Carlos swung at the 3rd (FO), 2nd (1B), 2nd(FO), 1st (GO) & 1st (FO) pitches in his 5 ABs
