Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 01 2014 08:13 AM

Helloooooooooo, Denver! Forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and 54 degrees at gametime. Colon opposes RHP Juan Nicasio. Start a thread if you know something else about the Rockies.

Benjamin Grimm May 01 2014 08:27 AM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Is that... Lloyd Lindsey Young?

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 01 2014 08:33 AM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Heeeellllloooooo! Why, yes, it is!

Edgy MD May 01 2014 08:33 AM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Sign him up and we can have an all-Young outfield.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 01 2014 01:45 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Lagares is back and Nieuwenhuis down. I really need to know this enemy.

The Mets once wore their home jerseys against the Rockies in Denver. When? Why?

Mets Guy in Michigan May 01 2014 02:17 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

I believe it was on the anniversary of the Rockies first game -- which was at Shea. But the celebration was in Denver. And the Mets wore "the wardrobe of failure" -- the jerseys with the tail. Seriously, what the hell were they thinking with those jerseys?

So Eric Young is the first outfielder to sit out a dance now that the four-man rotation is in effect.

Edgy MD May 01 2014 02:44 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

First time out there for the defensively-enhanced Young-Laggy-Grandy outfield alignment that Alderson envisioned in the offseason. Just in time for a trip to the biggest outfield in the big leagues, too.

Edgy MD May 01 2014 03:12 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Point taken. In my mind, Chris Young went down in game one, not game two.

Hey! What happens in the BJ's Clubhouse STAYS in the BJ's Clubhouse!

Nymr83 May 01 2014 03:26 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

I like this lineup best with the current roster, but I do wonder when/if Curtis will end the season-long slump. Its only Year 1 of this albatross of a contract

I was geeked about getting a Mets jersey with that name on the back! I have a road Bonilla that was on super-clearance at Manny's Baseball Land's outlet in Florida. I kinda like to road version. It's the tail on the iconic Mets on the home that I found upsetting. Didn't mean to thread jack!

He became the de facto owner in charge of the Mets around the time that Al Harazin became the team's GM. And MLB needs at least a year's lead time to authorize a uniform change. So yeah .... the timing is right ... there went eff Wilpon deciding to put his personal stamp on the Mets brand and image and about the first order of business was a pointless (and Dodger-like) remake of the classic Mets home uniform wordmark.

The team might have won the pennant with better unis....

This game started earlier than I thought ... just turned it on expecting to see end of pre-game.

Fman99 May 01 2014 07:19 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Ugh

seawolf17 May 01 2014 07:44 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

The only home Mets jersey I have is one of the ones with the tail. I don't wear it so much. I stick to the road grey, even at Citi Field.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 01 2014 07:50 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Not looking sharp tonight.

d'Kong76 May 01 2014 07:55 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Looking like shit tonight. (so far)

Edgy MD May 01 2014 07:56 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

That drive that Lagares caught was Denver in a nutshell. Nothing hit that hard and straightaway doesn't knuckle, but that thing almost flew right past his ear.

Fman99 May 01 2014 07:56 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

At least I'll get a good night's rest tonight.

Edgy MD May 01 2014 07:59 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

That play might have been a collision last year.

d'Kong76 May 01 2014 08:00 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

But are you a true New Yorker?

Edgy MD May 01 2014 08:19 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

I'm a true something. I mean... I like the occasional bagel. On the other hand, getting bombed every other start isn't gonna work, Bartolo.

Great, the fans get tacos. I'd like some Mexican food too, Mets.

Keith with a nice heartfelt defense of Granderson. Not sure I buy it, but it was nice.

On the plus side, hey, our relievers have been perfect.

And Lagares is back ... it's something.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 01 2014 09:15 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

And the rain stopped here. So, yeah, there's a thing, too.

Edgy MD May 01 2014 09:23 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

OK, Young Six or seven more like that, Mets.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 01 2014 09:24 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Okay, five or six, now.

Edgy MD May 01 2014 09:27 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Grandy has been hitting everything hard towar the 4-5 hole, but ulike that time, most have been caught. Boom! 7-4.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 01 2014 09:27 PM Re: Mets @ Rockies igt 5/1

Well, okay, then... just three more like that, and we're in business.

Well, if you're going to get trucked, get trucked spunkily.
