The Mets, Rockies and Astros, the round robin of suck.

The Second Spitter Aug 20 2012 05:35 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

I took a sickie from work today, because I had a dream last night that Dickey threw a no-hitter in this game.

The Second Spitter Aug 20 2012 05:54 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

I can go to work now.

Zvon Aug 20 2012 05:59 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

One hitter won't be bad either. Aww, this kid is cute. Good broadcaster too.

Fman99 Aug 20 2012 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

I'm watching. Little light on the IGT'age tonight. Not much going at the plate, either.

The Second Spitter Aug 20 2012 07:22 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

It's like a ghost town, In this IGT, It's a ghost town, Until the Mets learn how to win

Fman99 Aug 20 2012 07:33 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

Put that ball in your pocket, stupid.

Fman99 Aug 20 2012 07:36 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

Well that's just fucking great. A bunt hit, an error, another bunt, and a passed ball. Way to make them earn it.

You don't think there's any chance they leave this lefty in to face Hairston, is there? No? Shucks.

Fuck me. He should have run through the bag like Ron said.

What a disgrace. Booooooooo

Frayed Knot Aug 20 2012 08:06 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

And now in the 9th we'll have: Torres - who hasn't had a hit in like a week Shoppach - who'll almost certainly be facing a RHP and the pitcher's spot which means either Cedeno or Bay Oh joy!

Zvon Aug 20 2012 08:07 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

No doubt, it's a fact head first into first slows you down. And that would have tied it. Big play. You looked flashy Valde, and I'm sure that was your only concern, but you just cost us a run son. A BIG run. I concur with a hearty booo0000OOO!

The Second Spitter Aug 20 2012 08:08 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

What pisses me off is their inability to pull themselves together for one game to get Dickey a win against a pie-chucker of a pitcher.

Frayed Knot Aug 20 2012 08:11 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

And now none of it matters.

Ceetar Aug 20 2012 08:14 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

Only way I could conceivably buy diving into first as a good move is if you dive (not slide) so that your fingers touch the bag before you could take a step. Touch to time precisely and you're pretty much doomed to go tumbling past the bag. Your legs are moving so much faster than your upper body, so unless you're physically propelling your upper body with the push off, it's just not going to work. regardless, freaking run through the damn bag. EVERYONE knows this.

Other than the Torres IF single and the Baxter bloop double, I think the last time we actually got a ball out of the infield was about the 3rd inning.

Once again: soft hits and soft outs. Too many of the latter, not enough of the former.

FUN FACT: the first 7 2/3 innings were pitched by pitchers with a combined ERA of 6.00, and letting up a combined average of 1.70 runners per frame, coming into tonight. They let up 5 hits, 5 walks and 1 earned run tonight.

Fman99 Aug 21 2012 04:59 AM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

I turned it off when Valdespin bellyflopped into first base. Even my kid's douchy MFY loving little league coach knows... they teach Fboy not to slide into first, and he didn't do it once all year. He's 7. What's your excuse, Jordany?

Edgy MD Aug 21 2012 08:03 AM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

I didn't see the play, but there's a place for the slide into first.

Vic Sage Aug 21 2012 08:07 AM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

to avoid a tag, not to beat a throw.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2012 08:10 AM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

He was trying to win a footrace to the bag, it wasn't the dumbest thing ever. Credit to whoeverthefuck was playing first base for them, it was nicely executed defensively. Of the 9 names in the Colorado column on the scoreboard last night, I knew the first name of only one of them -- Dexter Fowler. Their pitcher was wearing No. 6. That's pretty weird. I'm trying to eat less so eschewed the new steak sandwich, the pulled pork, the Shackburger, etc and settled for a Shake-Cago Dog (and fries, and 3 beers, and popcorn. Oh well, I tried). The point is, the dog was pretty good. The Mets fucking suck.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2012 08:57 AM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

Meanwhile, the Jonathan Herrera bunt/error which essentially lost the game for us was also a head-first slide into 1st. My conclusion is that head-first slides tend to work so much better when the defense makes bad plays as opposed to when they make good ones.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 21 2012 12:21 PM Re: IGT 8/20/2012 Rockies @ Mets Dickey Day

Great seats last night courtesy of a friend, btw. It allowed us to get up close and personal with Kelly Shoppach's dogshit whiff as a pinch hitter which basically ruined Dickey's chances for a win.
