IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Edgy MD Sep 12 2012 01:11 PM

The Mets reject your false values, your substitute realities, your substitute coffee creamers, and the myths you weave to blind the gullible. They reject your vision for the country and they reject your manuscript submission. They reject the false promises of prophets since fled. And if they are true to themselves, they will reject the creeping despair that threatens to cripple the franchise. These are the men who will make that stand.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! Ruben Tejada – SS Ronny Cedeno – 2B David Wright – 3B Scott Hairston – RF Lucas Duda – 1B Kelly Shoppach – C Jason Bay – LF Andres Torres – CF Matt Harvey – RHP Murph's back needed scratching because it's sore.

Davey Johnson, highly observant, likens Not Shea Stadium to "a morgue" in D.C. radio appearance. He didn't compare Terry Collins to a "funeral director, but more depressing," however.

Cififield is a friggin amusement/theme park/restaurant. They just happen to play baseball at the same time.

Harvey strikes out the side in the top of the first - not too shabby!

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 05:44 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Are we allowed to have 3 hits prior to the 7th inning?

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 05:47 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

But, I forgot, we're not allowed to score.

Ashie62 Sep 12 2012 05:58 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

I forgot, Im not supposed to watch anymore this season.

Edgy MD Sep 12 2012 06:10 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Jason Phillips as cleanup guy --- how are we hitting worse than we did then? Ryan Zimmerman puts the Nats up 1-0, or as we call it, running up the score.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 06:16 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

This is what the Nats have been doing for like the last month or so - living off HRs like they're the first-half season Yanx. Meanwhile, we've had six different ABs with a runner on 1st and [u:34m5vk87]one[/u:34m5vk87] managed to move the up (Shoppach's single). The others have been Ks, force-outs, and pop/fly-outs. And then there was the dope who got himself out all on his own.

Good thing we missed Strasburg otherwise we might be getting shut-out thru 4 or something.

Edgy MD Sep 12 2012 06:45 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Base hit, man. Bunt time!

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 06:51 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

And another RBI chance is met with yet another wet noodle of a ground ball.

The Second Spitter Sep 12 2012 06:52 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Nothing like metsian middle-inning malaise to offset a stronger than usual cup of coffee.

Edgy MD Sep 12 2012 07:06 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Robert Carson, the spirit of Bobby Myrick smiles on you.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 07:06 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Not often that you get out of an inning where your pitchers start six straight hitters off with a 2-0 count.

themetfairy Sep 12 2012 07:06 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Lots of beer for Carson for coming into the inning with nobody out and stranding three inherited runners!

Fman99 Sep 12 2012 07:25 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Enough fucking popups and fucking GIDPs and fucking LOBs. I'm ready to launch these fuckers into outer space like the Robinson family.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 12 2012 07:26 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

If nothing else-- and that might actually be the case-- we're learning a lot about what could be a really good, really cheap bullpen over the next couple of years... especially the lefties. Would that our lefty hitters would have similarly timely successes. Alas, Ike.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 07:27 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

I would have PH'd Murphy there rather than Ike (needing one or two runs rather than four) but I also don't think it would have made the slightest bit of difference. Muffy just would have found a different way to make an out. And we still have only had one hitter move another one up with a hit. Wright had to move himself up twice w/steals.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 07:30 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Oh good, let's put another fucking leadoff guy on. And if you could make it a .145 hitter with an 0-2 count, Bobby, that would be just real peachy. And while we're at it, just when was Parnell's last 1-2-3 inning anyway? I'm guessing it was some time in 2010

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 07:36 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

And walking two guys right after that would be a perfect topping.

Hampson Trade Value +++++++++++

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 07:42 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

The legacy of these last two Houdini acts will be to make this a 1-0 loss rather than a blowout.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 07:47 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Two more weak-ass ground-outs and a sky-high pop. I count [u:1zejl7gf]One[/u:1zejl7gf] hard out all night - Torres's liner to LF which was, ironically enough, too hard to score the runner from 3rd.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 07:58 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

It was a one-handed swing and the ball stayed up long enough for any one of the three OFers to catch it ... and without needing a glove. So if that's what we're hanging our hats on here then we're in worse trouble than I thought.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2012 08:01 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

And is there ANYONE who didn't see that one coming?

Edgy MD Sep 12 2012 08:03 PM Re: IGT, 9/12 --- You say, "Harvey?" I say "Marvey!"

Well, that was a nadiriffic inning.

Our righthanded ace in the hole here: Zach Lutz.

Murphy and not Baxter? We need a double, Terry.
