As David Wright mans third base, he sets the franchise record for most games ever at the tertiary sack (assuming we get an official game). This is No. 836 for David, bumping HoJo from the top of that particular chart. A journalism professor in college hated that I used "initial sack" for first base in a story. Obviously I haven't learned my lesson.

Yea Frenchy! 3-0 Mets on a NICE home run!

G-F: most games ever at the tertiary sack <<< I would have had to look up tertiary if you hadn't gone on to explain the initial part. Maybe I should have looked up tertiary, I could end up feeling dumb twice. THREE RUN bomb by Fran Coor.

[quote="Kong76"]I would have had to look up tertiary if you hadn't gone on to explain the initial part. Maybe I should have looked up tertiary, I could end up feeling dumb twice.

Our assignment was write a sports story. I "covered" a fall league game. I didn't even know there was a fall league. Just by showing up I got to be official scorer in addition to reporter. Somebody missed out on a base hit because I was pretty by the book. Other highlight: I interviewed the Hall of Famer who happened to be our baseball coach who never looked up from his sandwich. The prof who didn't care for "initial sack" wanted to know what kind of sandwich it was. I have to admit it never occurred to me include that information, but in case you're wondering, it appears Robin Roberts enjoyed turkey a quarter-century ago.

When we got more runs than they got, is that what's called 'a lead'?

themetfairy Sep 25 2009 06:09 PM Re: IGT 9/25/09: The Mets, The Marlins, The String Played Out

I'm not sure. It's such a foreign concept....

Yeah Jerry - pulling Feliciano for Green made total sense....

Green tossing gas on the fire. Sure-handed Castillo can't help end the inning on a room service grounder. The season can't end soon enough.
