The Mets go animal in the 4 spot.

I love when Mex attempts to use more complicated words.

Zvon Aug 29 2010 11:27 AM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

I may as well finish it off. Looks like the stands here at CPF stadium have a lot of empty seats today.

Yea, stare him down David. And next time up smack him out.

How about a squeeze play?

Kong76 Aug 29 2010 11:44 AM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

Dickey bringin' the O!

But ya know, with all the fuckin bunting we have been doing when was the last time we tried a real out and out squeeze?

Kong76 Aug 29 2010 11:51 AM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

Swannie is the wild card in the trivia question, no??

I believe that they made a mistake on that trivia question. Four Mets won the ERA title --- not three: Seaver, Swan (78), Gooden (85) and Santana (08). (Unless I heard the question incorrectly. Maybe I made the mistake. Maybe they asked for the four Mets ERA champs. I'm confused.)

Gwreck Aug 29 2010 12:06 PM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

I was thinking the Squeeze for Hernandez's plate appearance. [quote="Zvon":1oz4z8l8]But ya know, with all the fuckin bunting we have been doing when was the last time we tried a real out and out squeeze?[/quote:1oz4z8l8] The only one I can remember from either Willie or Jerry was one where a sign was missed when Shawn Green was at third base.

Zvon Aug 29 2010 12:07 PM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

Thole chewin it with Dickey on the bench. I like Thole more and more. This Reyes and Wright trade talk is upsetting me ;)

Kong76 Aug 29 2010 01:09 PM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

They just gave the answer to the trivia question and still left off Santana in 2008. I guess Gary doesn't read the IGT's anymore.

lol.
I think this is a wise move.
Of course, the more moves a manager makes, many times, the more we can say how wrong he is. But I like this move.
I don't wanna see this one get away.

OE:in reference to pulling Dickey (don't even..)

Zvon Aug 29 2010 01:32 PM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

What's Lee's average vs. us this year. Actually, I don't think I wanna know.

Kong76 Aug 29 2010 01:39 PM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

.320 according bbrdotcom ... he likes the Mets.

[quote="Kong76":336i779x].320 according bbrdotcom ... he likes the Mets.[/quote:336i779x] I definitely thought it would have been higher than that. I must be shell shocked in my membrane.

Kong76 Aug 29 2010 01:57 PM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

.500 team! Woo hoo ...

Zvon Aug 29 2010 01:59 PM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

GJ Tak! very nice. Dickey is the story of the season if things don't change as far as our standings go. I do believe they will torture me personally a little longer before they fold. I'm not complaining. I'm used to it ;)

Kong76 Aug 29 2010 02:07 PM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

I believe today's success was due to R.A. Dickey's initial planning.

Blackmore is smokin!
I love how he's moving around the stack at the start.

[quote="G-Fafif"]I believe today's success was due to R.A. Dickey's initial planning.
I sense a pattern there.
*scratches head*
I liked this one particularly: He will wish the Mets didn’t make their bats look like that toothpick hanging from the mouth of the old Royals shortstop, U.L. Washington.

I'm wondering if, somewhere, Jim Bouton is having second thoughts about retiring right after he learned to throw the knuckler. Later

Edgy DC Aug 30 2010 09:46 AM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

A lot of good things in this game --- the win of course, but also the first hit for the newest Met, positive contributions from Castillo and Carter, plus more excellence from Dickey. But Jerry had to go right back to the one-two punch of Parnell and Tak to protect a four-run lead, without an off-day following, before a four-game series that is the team's last best hope. Don't get it.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 30 2010 09:52 AM Re: IGT 08/29, Colt45's at Metropolitans

And that, ultimately, is the reason I'd can him now rather than later-- he's even a piss-poor caretaker.
