IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After All"

Mets – Willets Point Apr 10 2013 09:32 PM

Slump busting, interleague road trip game starts at 8:10 et. Niese (1-0) and Diamond (0-0) are your probables.

MFS62 Apr 10 2013 09:55 PM Re: IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After

Its snowing there now. A lot. On the post game radio show, Wayne said their flight may be detoured, and they have no idea to where. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 10 2013 10:02 PM Re: IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After

By Wayne you mean Josh. I was wondering what happened to Wayne Hagin the other day. He apparently was up for the radio gig for the Astros this year but didn't get it. That'd be 2 years without a job.

MFS62 Apr 11 2013 07:33 AM Re: IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After

Yes. My apologies to Josh for the insult. Later

I've lived my entire life in the North country where going to your kids sporting events pretty much suck any time of the year (other than July/August when the kids don't have many sports events)...but you deal with it because it's your kids and it's free... so I have to wonder what kind of morons decided that Minnesota didn't need at least a retractable roof...it makes no sense that both Florida teams either have a dome or a retractable roof; yet Minnesota fans have to freeze their asses off to pay good money to watch a baseball game...

Edgy MD Apr 12 2013 06:57 PM Re: IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After

I'll hand this to Worley --- he's out there in short sleeves. Minnie announcers are lamenting his inability to finish anybody off. That with two strikes, he just gives up foul balls until the batter gets one to drive or gets ball four. Then he said it was the same with Pelfrey. Yes it was.

Agreed. I'm not sure I've seen Buck look more uncomfortable at the plate in his short tenure with us. OE: I mean, he must have hyperextended himself on the follow-through.

Frayed Knot Apr 12 2013 07:26 PM Re: IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After

This game has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Mets are much better hitting when it's sub-35 degrees. Now if only Fred & Jeff weren't so cheap they'd just turn up the AC at CF and we'd lead the league in everything.

Keith's still gushing about it in the next half-inning. When you've got Keith Fucking Hernandez saying something like, "That's as good a double play as you're ever going to see," you've made a play.

They did score at least 4 in the first two innings five times. 7/8/06 (game 2) 9/29/2000 7/14/1995 5/25/81 6/12/90

Jose Reyes had to be carted off the field tonight during the Blue Jays game due to some kinda leg injury. oe: lol. wrong team.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2013 08:36 PM Re: IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After

I sure love and respect Ron Gardenhose, but bringing a cold lefty into this game to face Buck, the way he's hitting, was throwing gasoline on the fire. Minnie would be back in this game otherwise.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2013 08:44 PM Re: IGT 4/12/13 - Mets @ Twins - "We're Gonna Make It After

That inning ended on the Twin broadcast with a shot of young couple as the female turned to the male and seemingly uttered, "Is that enough? Can we go now?" Unfortunately, they cut to the commercial before he answered, "When Hell itself freezes over. We can go then."

I don't know why, but I have this feeling/hope that Jordany is going to be a pleasant surprise for us. Ike looks lost. Not just the 0 for 4, but looks terrible doing it. He's jumping, starting early. I'm starting to think that he will never be a legitimate #4 hitter.
