IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

The Second Spitter Sep 25 2012 09:13 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 25 2012 09:33 AM

Wandy Rodriguez (aka "Eny Cabreja") (11-13, 3.76) v Collin McHugh Wandy only lasted 4.0 inning in his last start coughing up 4 runs in ND to the Brewers. He's sorta owned us in the past holding the Mets to one run in seven innings over each of his last three starts against going 2-0. He also threw a four hit shutout in 07. Being a lefty probably means Ike will start on the bench.

Was that a false name he played under in order to disguise his age?

The Second Spitter Sep 25 2012 10:47 AM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

Correct. He basically assumed the identity of his best friend in DR.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2012 11:09 AM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

Has rookie hazing day happened yet? Have the Mets done away with it?

The Wilpons can't afford that many costumes. They're waiting for the after-Halloween sales at Party City.

I somehow never knew Wandy Rodriguez was a lefty until just now. Or forgotten.

Ike shouldn't be in the lineup tonight.

If Sandy Koufax could miss a World Series game and Hank Greenberg could miss a pennant race game for Yom Kippor, Ike shouldn't be playing in this one.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 25 2012 02:15 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

Ike is a hard-partying rebel who can't be told what to do.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 25 2012 02:26 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

Isn't it up to Ike to decide how observant he wants to be? I'm sure if he asked out for religious reasons Terry would let him sit.

seawolf17 Sep 25 2012 02:27 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

Yeah, but setting an example for the children and all that.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2012 02:30 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

Rubicon is reporting that Jason Bay's back has become bestiffed and he his therefore observing a holiday of his own.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2012 02:33 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

This could lower his score. http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=787

Ike has a history of embracing his Jewishness, out of respect for his ancestors who died in the Holocaust.

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2012 02:58 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

And he can embrace all that with or without sitting out tonight's game.

I care more that Spitter is on an IGT roll. Mazel Tov!

Ceetar Sep 25 2012 04:26 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

I miss baseball. Of course, even if the Germans were somehow showing SNY, it's 12:20am on Wednesday and the game doesn't even START for 50 minutes. geeze. I will note that there was some extremely drunk people on the train this morning wearing FC Bayern München stuff though. Hopefully they weren't headed TO Oktoberfest for a postgame.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2012 05:43 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

In actual game news. The Mets fell behind 4-0 in the top of the first and got three of those babies back thru back-to-back belly-to-belly homers by Turner and Wright. Ike Davis got a one-out walk, and Torres is trying to join the fun now.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 25 2012 05:47 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

I'd feel better if McHugh didn't McSuck.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2012 05:51 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

That's a son of Edgy, buster. Watch it. I'm sure you'd see the grace in McHughie's performance if you looked at his secondary numbers. Or perhaps his tertiary or quadrary numbers. Barajas, as reported by Levin, has just welcomed his seventh child. "Congratulations, I guess..." offered Josh. Ha ha, Joshie.

It was good while it lasted.

McGuogh is an apoptee? At least you tried. Now kick his ass

Kinda sorry we used 27 pitchers yesterday.

The Second Spitter Sep 25 2012 08:20 PM Re: IGT#154 9/25 - Pirates - STOP PIRACY!

At least they showed some ticker in this game. That's all you can ask for when your starter is leakier than an incontinent St Bernard.

Can break it. Not necessarily will.

If you're playing in tonight's game, and tonight's game isn't life-or-death (literally or figuratively), then you're almost definitely not an observant Jew. He may embrace his Judaism, but I don't think he's ever practiced actual Judaism, has he?

Ceetar has been arrested in West Germany for public urination.
