IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

Gwreck Sep 11 2011 12:45 PM

Cubs are 63-82 with a run differential of -105 No excuse for us not taking this rubber game.

Edgy DC Sep 11 2011 12:49 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

Well, the Cubs will probably try anyway. Plus they have that Garza guy going. H'es got a 2.23 ERA going over his seven starts in August and September.

Chad Ochoseis Sep 11 2011 02:45 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

A friend of mine has an extra ticket somewhere in the Promenade Club on the first base side, so I'm on my way.

MLB is preventing the Mets from wearing the first responder hats tonight during the game. Good move Selig! The only reason that the game is on national TV, in prime time, is because of 9/11. You know that Bobby V. will spend a lot of time talking about how his Mets responded. Piazza will show up in the booth tonight, too. And yet, MLB issues this nonsensical order.

Edgy DC Sep 11 2011 04:05 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

Infuriating.

metirish Sep 11 2011 04:34 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

I guess wearing the hats might offend some people?, dumb move Selig. Thole tells Rubin the players will talk about defying the ban. Thole is union rep.

Edgy DC Sep 11 2011 04:38 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

Do it, Joshie! (Strange to give the union rep slot to a guy who hasn't cleared his option years.)

bmfc1 Sep 11 2011 04:40 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

andrewkeh Andrew Keh Josh Thole said the Mets aren't going wear the caps after all. He said MLB came down very hard on it.

"@AdamRubinESPN: Josh Thole said players can't wear the hats. Thole said the fines would be high on club. "They sent out a big memo and were adamant."" let's not let this overshadow the game.

Well in that case, I'll root hard for the Mets to defy the ban and wear the NY responder hats. Maybe the fines will bankrupt the Wilpons. But I'm really surprised that this is even an issue with this team. The Mets can afford extra caps?

bmfc1 Sep 11 2011 06:10 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

The hat decision was made by Joe Torre: DPLennon David Lennon by Buster_ESPN Torre, who made MLB decision, told AP that wanted teams to be "consistent" "Certainly it's not a lack of respect," he said of #mets ruling.

metirish Sep 11 2011 06:16 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

Watching the game about a half-hour delayed (thank you, DVR!) Torre's got too much Yankee in his blood now. But the cap thing is probably a contract thing with New Era. Nice to see Franco and Piazza.

Centerfield Sep 11 2011 07:20 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

metsguyinmichigan Sep 11 2011 07:24 PM Re: IGT 9/11/11 - Cubs at Mets

I'd like to see them wearing the pinstripes, too. But I think they wore the snow whites on that first game back in 01.
