Two other Mets later worked for the Expos. Larry Bearnarth became their pitching coach and Ron Taylor (after he got his medical degree)worked as their team Doctor. Upon further review by the officials (my Canadian baseball fan friends) the original ruling on the field has been overturned. Taylor became the team doctor for the Blue Jays, not the Expos. Reset the game clock. No timeout has been charged. Later

On edit, Taylor became the team doctor for the Blue Jays. Later Lotsa post Mets Expos aren't pictured. For example, there's no Expos card for Ron Darling (Expos - 1991).

Floyd was an Expo before he was a Met. Otherwise, I'da pictured a lot more, including these:

Ruben Tejada – SS Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Ike Davis – 1B Mike Baxter – RF Jason Bay – LF Andres Torres – CF Josh Thole – C R.A. Dickey – RHP Native NYC'er in Right Field. Let's defy the baseball lords and wear a first-responder cap out on the field, Mike.

Zvon Sep 11 2012 05:33 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck

Nats score first. Wasn't watching and I'm not surprised it involved that Harper kid. Hope Dickey is sharp. Or do you want a knuckler to be the opposite of sharp? We got a few on with one out. Lets answer right back. DO IT FOR DICKEY!

Zvon Sep 11 2012 05:37 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck

I think that bounced in his glove. But we'll take it.

Zvon Sep 11 2012 05:50 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck

Dickey screws up the bunt. This might not be his night. Well, if we don't hit like a MLB team its not gonna be no matter what he does.

That's always inspiring when the outfielder forgets the number of outs.

Frayed Knot Sep 11 2012 06:24 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck

Dickey settled down since the 1st. Unfortunately for him, 1-0 is an insurmountable lead. On the other hand, Zimmermannnn is up to 83 pitches thru 4 innings. On the other other hand, we can't hit their bullpen either.

Zvon Sep 11 2012 06:26 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck

WOW! Our guy can play some great 3rd base too, huh? Man, that was a freakin bullet.

Credit to the idiots in the stands not acting like idiots on Muffy's double. 90+% of the time someone touches that and Ruben has to stay at 3rd.

Zvon Sep 11 2012 06:38 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck

110 innings at home with no more than one run. That's mind boggling.

The Nationals TV guys were annoyed by a Mets fan that was clapping his hands near one of their mics so they asked him to stop. His clapping was better than their announcing.

Ha, Zimm and those yips. I remember discussing this last time we played them. He's totally changed his motion to where he seems only able to throw well when he's on the move. Kind of like Robert Redford as 'Sundance': "Can I move now? I shoot much better when I move."

Zvon Sep 11 2012 06:57 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck

Frayed Knot Sep 11 2012 06:57 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck

RA leads off next inning. He's got to put up a zero here then tell Terry that there's no way he's not finishing this game.

Edgy MD Sep 11 2012 07:01 PM Re: IGT 9/11/12 NYM v WASH: Hats Off to our Knational Knuck
