IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Not that some of these guys haven't come a long way toward establishing themselves, but it's worth nothing that there's one guy from opening day in the Mets lineup. Pagan, cf Duda, lf Carter, rf Wright, 3b Davis, 1b Arias, 2b Thole, c Tejada, ss Dick-KAY, p Fukudome, rf Castro, ss Byrd, cf Ramirez, 3b Nady, 1b Soto, c Soriano, lf DeWitt, 2b Wells, p

Pagan only because Manuel's an idiot though. But yeah, the other six weren't even on the roster. [crossout:335hpgo9]It's actually two though, Tejada _was_ in the opening day lineup.[/crossout:335hpgo9] I've already forgotten Cora existed..I realize I'm wrong..

Tejada was in the opening day lineup! Well, I'll be! That was strategically sound!

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 12:26 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Pagan singles and Wells wants no part of Dudadudadoo, coming nowhere near the plate with his four pitches. Who is managing these guys?

Ceetar Sep 03 2010 12:28 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

"On at first with a double and two runs batted in is David Wright!" close Howie..heh. nice start.

[quote="Edgy DC":71ull78q]it's worth nothing[/quote:71ull78q] Intentional, or slip?

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 12:32 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Slip.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 12:33 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Bam! Huh?

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 01:22 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Cubbies are rallying. One run in and two on with two out.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 01:23 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

And a three-run homer by Soriano and our first-inning cusion is kaput!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2010 01:36 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Go figure-- Dickey's ruining my Dickey Day. I would've bet on Tejada or, say, Hurricane Ike.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 01:50 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Come on, Duda. Show your merits.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2010 01:53 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Two-out mini-rally there ties it-- give the devil his, Duda.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 01:59 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

[quote="Edgy DC":2oi13pr5]Come on, Duda. Show your merits.[/quote:2oi13pr5] Hey, how about that? Jerry pulls Carter for Beltran. Can't let that lefty-lefty thing happen.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2010 02:00 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

They may not hit many home runs, but there's a LOT of warning-track power on this team. And that's something, right?

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 02:03 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Bear Cubs looking to answer with two on, no out and a 2-0 count.

[quote="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr":2z2ekvf5]They may not hit many home runs, but there's a LOT of warning-track power on this team. And that's something, right?[/quote:2z2ekvf5] So we should move the fences in 15 feet? :)

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 02:03 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Fans Soto. But here comes Soriano.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 02:06 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Soriano gone. Can't walk DeWitt because the pticher is at a pinch-hittable stage of the game.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 03 2010 02:06 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

RATS!

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 02:07 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

And DeWitt goes yard. My word. 7-4.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 02:12 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Wright clears the warning track, there. 7-5.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 03 2010 02:33 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Kaboom Luis Hernandez??

G-Fafif Sep 03 2010 02:33 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Club Hessman has a new member! Luis Hernandez with One Met Homer. He makes up for the evacuation of Josh Thole the other day. Sixty-nine Mets have homered once and only once as Mets. I guess it's Club Hernandez now, technically, but I prefer Club Hessman. Believe me, Mike Hessman prefers being known for one home run as opposed to a thousand strikeouts.

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 02:34 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

[quote="metsguyinmichigan":wkgn22as]Kaboom Luis Hernandez??[/quote:wkgn22as] It can happen! Duda, meanwhile, gets his first taste of a big-league lefty and looks at two benders at the knees before chasing a third one off the plate. Executed like a pro, Sean Marshall.

G-Fafif Sep 03 2010 02:41 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Duda: In English it means What An Arm!

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 02:44 PM Re: IGT, Also-Ran Theater, Mets@Cubs, 9/3

Anything happen to Acosta, getting pulled with two outs and none on after Duda does the dirty work for him?

Sheesh.

Joaquin, it should be noted, took Francoeur's number as well as his spot.
