IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

Edgy MD Sep 26 2012 10:41 PM

R.A. locks up with Kevin Correia in his penultimate start of the year. Make me proud. Let's win a little pitching trophy to put next to your National Book Award.

The Second Spitter Sep 26 2012 11:39 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

The most important game of the season as far as I'm concerned.

Fman99 Sep 27 2012 07:16 AM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

Telecommuting today, my last chance to watch a weekday 1 PM Mets game and draw a paycheck at the same time in 2012. My ongoing cable issues are now officially a thing of the past, since Time Warner is now offering the NFL Channel and NFL Red Zone networks, I will dump FIOS in the spring if they can't work something out to get my 2013 weekend WPIX Mets games piped in (which I am assuming won't happen, since I've been lobbying for that without success since 2010).

Humid day. Push him back.

Ruben Tejada –SS Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Ike Davis – 1B Scott Hairston – LF Mike Baxter – RF Josh Thole – C Andres Torres – CF R.A. Dickey – RHP Terry said yesterday they were gonna put their best lineup out there today, but it still seems a little Met-heavy.

I see it's Bay-less.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 27 2012 07:57 AM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

Yeah, he's been having back problems.

Frayed Knot Sep 27 2012 07:58 AM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

Yeah, he lost his swing three years ago and has been unable to get it back.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 27 2012 08:09 AM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

Fucking Barajas. He's done less this year for Pittsburgh than he did when he was putrefying from June through August for us... and THIS is when he goes all Throbby.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2012 12:11 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

Turn off the spigot, Dickey.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 27 2012 12:16 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

This doesn't seem to be going according to plan. At least R.A. still has a start coming against the lowly Marlins.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 27 2012 12:22 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

F that we can hit Correia.

10 Ks for Really Advertising. The race is close enough that a "signature" big-K game-- say, 14-15-- might prove quite the PR finishing kick, no?

Eleven strikeouts and an ERA back under 2.70.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2012 01:13 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

Unfortunately, with 111 pitches gone, that's probably it for him with two innings to go and a three-run lead to protectorate.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 27 2012 01:14 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

Terry has him on a 211-pitch count today.

batmagadanleadoff Sep 27 2012 01:14 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

It's a good thing that Dickey stretched out his K total because Kershaw likely has two more starts to RA's one.

batmagadanleadoff Sep 27 2012 01:16 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love

And Dickey takes his turn at bat. Not that Terry isn't capable of relieving RA to start the 8th, just the same.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 27 2012 01:17 PM Re: IGT, 9/27, Knuckle Love
