Dillon Gee shaving off the stubble of futility as we speak. Shelby Miller will go with the red accents on gray. Let's Go Mets. They're the only Mets we go.

Look for me, sounds like I might be one of like 7 people in the stands.

Salute to IGT title

Nice. Wright and Murphy with a couple of two out hits to get us on the board.

Zvon Jun 12 2013 05:35 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2013: STL @ NYM -- Gee, Your Team Plays Horrifi

WOW! Murphy scores from first on a Duda single! Beltran caught snoozin!

I've never seen that before. And Murphy isn't even fast.

I don't answer questions that depress me ;) Tuefel was waving him all the way and Carlos was just going thru the motions. I really didn't think Dan would keep going until he rounded third and went into his higher low gear.

I never knew until tonight that those tats on Yadier's neck are of musical notes. Wonder if they're just random or if it's from a specific song?

Mets get out of the 6th with only one run via the HR as, with 2/down and a RiSP, G gives J the big FU

Frayed Knot Jun 12 2013 06:57 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2013: STL @ NYM -- Gee, Your Team Plays Horrifi

I did NOT think Dabid got that one. Happily, I wuz wrong.

Zvon Jun 12 2013 06:59 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2013: STL @ NYM -- Gee, Your Team Plays Horrifi

KaBOOM into deep center! That just kept on goin'.

Zvon Jun 12 2013 07:13 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2013: STL @ NYM -- Gee, Your Team Plays Horrifi

Rice on in the seventh.

Marlon happy that the Cards got Miller out of there. And not to sound greedy or anything, but I wouldn't mind seeing one of these HRs with like an actual runner on base every now and then.

Enjoyable game (and kaboomage-themed artwork in the IGT).

Frayed Knot Jun 12 2013 07:35 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2013: STL @ NYM -- Gee, Your Team Plays Horrifi

Last NYM [u:2zy8oi2x]home win[/u:2zy8oi2x] that was a) greater than 2 runs and b) not a last AB win = April 19th, Mets 7 - Nationals 1 ... of course we're not there yet

Fman99 Jun 12 2013 07:41 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2013: STL @ NYM -- Gee, Your Team Plays Horrifi

Love a failure to lose.

Went out for the evening. Didn't even follow it on handheld devices during the film. Funny to see them win while getting three homers but no walks. Must be in an aggressive mood, or a deliberate revisiting of strategery.

I'm gonna go write a blog post about the feeeelings of all Cardinals fans, sand how much it must suck to be one tonight.

Edgy MD Jun 12 2013 10:12 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2013: STL @ NYM -- Gee, Your Team Plays Horrifi

That's what sucks about punditry. The race for attention being the fastest guy to the broadest conclusion. Nobody's in any hurry in the subsequent race to eat it.

On Molina's double last night, Valdespin (the second baseman) for some reason ran all the way over to the third base line to stand like 6 feet from David Wright (Duda relayed in to Quintanilla who then flipped to Valdespin since he was right there). Why? What could he possibly have been thinking he was going to do? I only noted this because when Duda fielded it I looked towards second to see if they had a chance to get him and saw Murphy running to cover. It's almost like a wheel play on a double.

On a double to LF, the SS & 2B usually act as double cut-off men (either to 3B or, if a runner was on 1st before the hit, to home) while the 1B trails the batter/runner towards 2nd on account of there ain't no reason to cover 1st anymore. Now I can't picture that play specifically in my head, but it sounds like Valdespin was in the correct general area even if maybe not in the ideal spot.

I guess it just felt weird because the play was along the line so whereas normally he'd be right around SS position, here he was basically standing in front of David Wright. Also with Yadier the runner little chance he was going to third. What makes the decision between deciding to cover second for a possible throw? no replay on mlb for the double, so can't look back at it. aw well.

I'm old school. The shortstop or secondbaseman gets the outfield cutoff, the other one covers the bag, and the first baseman gets the infield cutoff.
