Bloomquist, 3B A. Hill, 2B J. Kubel, LF P. Goldschmidt, 1B M. Montero, C C. Young, CF G. Parra, RF J. Saunders, P

Good start... and how about Bay getting on base!

Hot damn. Just turned the game on...timely hitting and only one hit off Dickey so far? Looks like old times.

This is starting to remind me of the trivia question/joke that was used frequently with Ordonez back in the day: Q - Who bats after Jason Bay? A - The other team

Yeah, the only antsy part is that Dickey's one hit allowed and his one walk allowed and his one HBP all came in the same inning. Fortunately the pitcher was up next and he got a harmless two-out pop-out. He's been 1-2-3 every inning otherwise.

...and with two outs, Murph dumps a double into left to drive in a run. Very first-halfy.

Dickey has another three-runner inning. And Bay ends another inning.

Do they always play "Take It Easy" in the 7th inning ("Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona")?

Edgy MD Jul 29 2012 04:14 PM Re: Renewed Aspirations - IGT 7/29/12, Mets at D'backs

Thole dubbles home a run and it's 5-1. Giftwrapped for the bullpen as Valdespin pinch-hits for Dickstrom.

Frayed Knot Jul 29 2012 04:15 PM Re: Renewed Aspirations - IGT 7/29/12, Mets at D'backs

We're definitely slicing some cheapies down the line. Hairston, Murph & now Thole all have one of those today and all three have knocked in a run.

Geico pitching line: IP H R ER BB SO 7.0 4 1 0 3 8 0 Pretty vintage first-half Dickey. I don't know if dry air helps him, but if I'm shopping R.A. (and I'm totally not), I'd definitely try to show indoor teams how awesome he is indoors.

Edgy MD Jul 29 2012 04:27 PM Re: Renewed Aspirations - IGT 7/29/12, Mets at D'backs

Baton to Rauch. Two oots.

Edgy MD Jul 29 2012 04:29 PM Re: Renewed Aspirations - IGT 7/29/12, Mets at D'backs

Bam: perfect.

Edgy MD Jul 29 2012 04:40 PM Re: Renewed Aspirations - IGT 7/29/12, Mets at D'backs

I'll call this a needs-the-work appearance for Parnell, but I'd still stick with Rauch.

Edgy MD Jul 29 2012 04:42 PM Re: Renewed Aspirations - IGT 7/29/12, Mets at D'backs

And he opens with a walk. And he opens with a walk. And he opens with a walk.

Edgy MD Jul 29 2012 04:49 PM Re: Renewed Aspirations - IGT 7/29/12, Mets at D'backs

Booklike activity!

HOORAY! Great job by ALL the pitchers.

Of course they win in the only game of the week I can't watch. In these times, it's an annoyance. But a win's a win, as they say.
