You've got almost all the colors in the Marlins' uniform pallet represented there.

Havent seen Thole much lately. Is he hurt?

metsguyinmichigan May 12 2012 11:38 AM Re: IGT #33 5/12/12 Mets @ Marlins

Yup, he's on the new seven-day DL after Ty Wiggington nailed him in a play at the plate.

On the Tweetwaves, "David Wright" and "MVP" trending in New York.

Finally a big hit! I was thinking this game was destined to see about 2.3 LOBs/inning. Now we just have to make sure that Dickey's hand isn't broken and we're OK.

Between the beard and the thousand-mile-stare, Nickeas today looks like he's auditioning for a community-theater production of "The Deer Hunter."

Starting pitchers have to taken out with one shot

Ceetar May 12 2012 02:12 PM Re: IGT #33 5/12/12 Mets @ Marlins

geeze, so when do we seriously start talking about Wright hitting .400?

the guy broadcasting with McCarver: "How does All-Star R.A. Dickey sound?"

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 12 2012 02:24 PM Re: IGT #33 5/12/12 Mets @ Marlins

This guy with McCarver is a genius. Love the nonstop insurance-runnin'. Foot-on-throat is a new concept for this team.

A performance like this after yesterday's disappointment feels like winning a million bucks on a giant fish-pachinko machine.

Ceetar May 12 2012 02:44 PM Re: IGT #33 5/12/12 Mets @ Marlins

Ike Davis and David Wright are hitting .288 combined.

Frayed Knot May 12 2012 05:25 PM Re: IGT #33 5/12/12 Mets @ Marlins

I could have done without seeing the Marlins knock out 13 hits - although holding them to three runs while doing so is certainly OK (even if probably not repeatable). But we issued fewer walks, fewer HBPs, ran the bases better, played better 'D', and had 16 hits of our own - so there!

Two opinions from Tim McCarver from this afternoon's Mets game on FOX: 1) Tim is sure that Strawberry's moon-shot '88 homer off the Olympic Stadium roof in Montreal was the longest HR ever hit in the history of MLB. And Tim's taking that opinion to his grave. 2) The Mets ain't gonna re-sign David Wright: it can't be done given the team's financial mess.

Ashie62 May 12 2012 06:36 PM Re: IGT #33 5/12/12 Mets @ Marlins

That was fun! Only question I would have is did Terry need to use so many pitchers in a blowout win?

Fman99 May 12 2012 06:54 PM Re: IGT #33 5/12/12 Mets @ Marlins

I thought it was a 4 PM start. I missed nearly the entire thing... caught the last two inning on the iPhone while sunning myself in the backyard. Nice win for the good guys.

Howie Rose paid tribute to Tim McCarver on today's radio broadcast and as he recounted the groundbreaking work McCarver had done as a Mets broadcaster it broke a brother's heart to think what he has slipped into. My other observation on today's game is that if the team had played a little more cleanly, they'd have gotten 15 runs. It's a blessing that they're coming up with these two out hits, but so often that comes after being unable to make productive contact with runners in scoring position and one or no out. Or after baserunner blunders in the face of what contact they've had.
