National League expansion teams in their twentieth years beware -- we bring our rampage to the Rockies!

Ugh, the 8:40 first pitch makes it unlikely that I will still be awake when the game ends. Staying up that late is for crazy teenagers and what not, I like to drink my postum and go to bed to the soothing broadcasts of Mr. Paul Harvey. If someone can stay up and tell me who was on the Jack Paar show I would appreciate it.

Watch it on DVR-delay on Saturday morning! I used to do that all the time and it's a nice way to start the day. And you get to skip the commercials.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2012 08:25 AM Re: IGT 4/27/2012 NYM @ COL: Continue Avenging 1993

He needs the commercials to change his diaper.

My Saturday morning is a bit booked (a group run, Fboy's karate lessons, Little League etc.), I am more likely to just get up and watch the highlights on ESPN/MLB's web sites.

Yeah, I hear you. That's why I don't do that too often anymore. My Saturday mornings have gotten busier too.

Props to Wright in the top half there, staying in the rundown long enough for Newey to score from 3rd. Rockies D' continues to not impress. In other news, Schwinden leads off by giving up a 3B.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 27 2012 07:05 PM Re: IGT 4/27/2012 NYM @ COL: Continue Avenging 1993

The way Levin says "Schwinden" is kind of like it's a shwanky nickname for a guy named "Linden." Wow, a bunt play didn't work!

Fman99 Apr 27 2012 08:06 PM Re: IGT 4/27/2012 NYM @ COL: Continue Avenging 1993

Is anyone else distracted by this twitching thing Schwinny does with the ball in his mitt, before he delivers the pitch? It looks like he's fingerbanging his glove.

Fman99 Apr 27 2012 08:16 PM Re: IGT 4/27/2012 NYM @ COL: Continue Avenging 1993

Fuck yeah! Nice 3B there by Hairston. Fowler tried to bring it in but he's no Nieweuneiheisss out there.

I'm going to go ahead and put this out there, and if you don't like it, you can put it out with the recycling, or leave it where it is, like an unidentified-animal-turd: Esmil Rogers is a pretty hittable pitcher.

It starts with those stupid fucking walks and completely-avoidable errors; without 'em, this is a four-run inning. These guys REALLY like to admire their home runs, don't they?

Verlander apparently didn't pitch that well. Tigers are in trouble. Losing 3 of 4 to Texas might be understandable but then they got swept at home by Seattle immediately before their trip to the House of Evil.

Precious is on for another 40 minutes on Epix2, if anyone's looking for something less gut-wrenching to watch. The shot they keep showing of Schwinden and Acosta looking like they're in the prison infirmary after the world's worst welcome-to-jail party is sorta hilarious.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2012 09:07 PM Re: IGT 4/27/2012 NYM @ COL: Continue Avenging 1993

Four errors in an inning ties a team record. I don't know, but I seem to recall Dave Kingman, Hubie Brooks, and/or Howard Johnson each experiencing a three-error inning on their own.

Hit #13 turned into an out based on some real hustle by Murphy. Isn't that Murphy's M.O. in a nutshell? He sure stays with a play.

I wasn't watching at all, but I checked online in the middle of the fifth and the Mets had just scored four runs and taken a four-run lead. I toyed with the idea of watching for a little while, but opted not to. So I just missed the joy of seeing the Mets give up 11 runs in one inning. That open rotation spot is going to be tricky, isn't it? Does Schwinden get another shot in five days? I'd rather see Schwinden than Batista, but I'd rather see Hefner than Schwinden. Are there any other viable options within the organization?

My guess is that they'll let Schwinden take his next turn and if that goes well he'll get a third start, and if not, he won't. But that's just a guess.
