Hunter and Scarlett Johansen, both named for colors, warming up in the bullpen.

Patricia and Giselle Bundchen, 1st and 3rd base coaches.

Edgy DC Jun 25 2010 08:10 AM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

No way these half-big shot pairs of twins can crack the lineup.

They're in a National League park. So we won't be seeing their DH tandem of Simon and Gar Funkel. Later

I bet Ashton's dumb looking twin, with the car door ears, is in his entourage, picking up the scraps. Good for him! John Oates has feelings too you know.

I really should be fired for leaving the Nesons on the bench.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 25 2010 11:53 AM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Starting? The Nelsons would be the Alex Cora/Tatis of this team, I'd think. Also, no spot for Dear Abby/Ann Landers? It really would have been the right thing to do.

Edgy DC Jun 25 2010 11:56 AM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

It's a three-game series. I'm not sure they can hit Pelfrey.

Pelf better find his groovethang. Big K of the big twin catcher. He's already over 60 pitches here in the 3rd though, and there's only one out. YESSSSSS! Double Play. Yes.

TheOldMole Jun 25 2010 05:57 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

I had no idea how Cuddyer's name was pronounced. I should change my scouting report.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 06:07 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Nice grab by Tejada. Dust off those bats and use em guys.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 06:14 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Shit. I agree with Keith and what I'm sure someone will say here. Should not have bunted there. Well, maybe with the rook up and Wright on deck. But I have to think Feliciano could hit a ball to the right side. Come on Dave. Plate that run.

Edgy DC Jun 25 2010 06:16 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

I see Daveed has taken a crash course in bringing home a tying run with less than two out.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 06:18 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Great thing about baseball. When it works your a freakin genius,lol.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 06:21 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

lmao. Keith says "..and David, heads up.." Did anyone see the way Wright looked after he rounded 3rd? It was like a cartoon comedic thing, like when you see a triple take in a cartoon. Man, that was funny lookin.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 06:23 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Hellz yea. Dave shud have run through the stop sign as well. Bay smacks it off the wall and Davis comes chuggin in. Now we see he didn't run through a stop sign. Does anyone call em as they see em anymore? Oh, the sign was up until he hit the bag. Never mind.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 25 2010 06:25 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

That's some nice boom-boom-chicka-boom. Pretty good oh-fense, too. Hachachacha!

Zvon Jun 25 2010 06:29 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Bay should have caught that drive to left. It would not have been easy, over his head, but he got his glove on it. Just didn't bother to open the glove.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 06:31 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

I know what we need. "More Bay jokes please.."

OH!OHHHHHHHH! what a slide by Tejada! OHHH!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 25 2010 06:40 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

380-foot double, followed by a savory slide around Mauer's tag on the sac fly? That's a tasty Reuben.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 25 2010 06:46 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

It is a bit disconcerting how Manuel's backslid re: bunthappiness. It's especially disconcerting that he's following HARD hits with bunts.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 25 2010 06:53 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

With two outs in the sixth, Cuddyer just... won't... die.

Cuddyer finally flatlines.

I think if we had gotten another Bay joke that deep fly to center would have been outta here. Looked gone off the bat.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 07:05 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Parnell for the 7th

Zvon Jun 25 2010 07:08 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Wow. Reyes with the range, the dive, the pop up and bullet throw out. Excellent play on Kubal.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 07:18 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

:June 25th. Couldn't stay still on the bench. Jerry notices and lets me bat for Parnell. He noticed me :)

metsguyinmichigan Jun 25 2010 07:35 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Shape of an RBI! Form of a line drive! How could you guys forget this combo? Never liked them, though they were probably a step up from Wendy and Marvin.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2010 07:37 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Would have been nice not to just hand the Twinkies two of the three outs in that inning but a 3-run lead should be enuff.

Zvon Jun 25 2010 07:41 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Heads up play by Mauer turns Reyes stolen base into an out at second, as Wright's a lil slow on the tale of the double steal. Who does this stuff for CBSsportsline? There it says:"Reyes caught stealing, Wright out at second." I like the attempt there though. Rather see that type of aggressive play than a scaredy cat ____.(fill in the blank)

metsguyinmichigan Jun 25 2010 07:46 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Gamecast says "injury delay" right in the middle of the Cuddayer at-bat. What happened?

Zvon Jun 25 2010 07:47 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Uh-oh. Looks like everyone but K-Rod thinks he's hurt after that follow thru where he fell bad off the mound. He takes a practice pitch and declares himself okay. 2 on, 1 out.

Ruben Tejada: not much of an English interview at this stage in his career. Jackson gets his no-hitter. 150 pitches.

Frayed Knot Jun 25 2010 08:00 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

In fairness to Frankie, the hits were a broken bat bloop and a six-hop IF single. But, yeah, I didn't like the Dickey relief job the other day either.

Fman99 Jun 25 2010 08:02 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Mets now 23-6 in their last 29 home games. That's just silly.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 25 2010 08:03 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Both hits were also on two-strike counts. And the Dickey relief appearance was by Frankie request. Which, y'know, makes me love him all the more.

Gwreck Jun 25 2010 09:42 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets

Lots of Twins fans, including several with their "Circle Me Bert" signs. I waffle on this between the "cool" and "stupid." Good game and when Mauer goes 0-4, it's a good sign towards a Mets victory over the Twins -- which I had never seen before! 2 of the 3 previous tilts I had the (mis)fortune of seeing some guy named Santana beat the Mets. Love the win, hate the bunts.

G-Fafif Jun 25 2010 09:50 PM Re: IGT, 6/25, Twins at Mets
