I've never heard of that particular brand of Corporate 80s Rock Product, but what a fine example.

I don't remember them at all ... wiki says they were big in Norway. Arizona at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Friday, May 23, 2014 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets continue their nine-game homestand and look to put together a rare winning streak when they begin a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. The Mets salvaged the finale of a three-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday with a 5-3 win. It put New York on the verge of consecutive home wins for the first time in nearly a month and snapped a four-game skid at Citi Field. The Diamondbacks are looking to end a slide of their own after being swept of a three-game series in St. Louis. Arizona, which dropped a 4-2 decision to the Cardinals on Thursday, scored four runs over 30 innings in the set - an output that was just a shade worse than its production in losing three straight against the Mets at home in mid-April. New York registered a 21-5 scoring advantage in that series. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN (Arizona), WPIX (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks RH Chase Anderson (2-0, 5.06 ERA) vs. Mets RH Bartolo Colon (3-5, 5.34) Anderson will be making his second career road start after allowing a run and just two hits in 5 1/3 innings at the Chicago White Sox on May 11 in his major-league debut. The 26-year-old was the beneficiary of some remarkable run support in his second appearance Saturday, when he gave up five runs in 5 1/3 frames of an 18-7 home win over the Dodgers. Anderson has served up three home runs in his 10 2/3 innings after surrendering just one in 39 frames for Triple-A Mobile. Colon has endured a see-saw month, exchanging a pair of seven-run outings with more solid efforts - the latest at Washington on Saturday, when he allowed two runs in a season-high eight innings. The veteran has waited nearly a month to make a start at home, where he owns a 3.15 ERA and has struck out 18 batters against just one walk. Colon, who has just one career start against Arizona, has issued only six free passes in 57 1/3 innings on the season. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets 3B David Wright is 10-for-25 during his six-game hitting streak. 2. Arizona starters are 8-5 with a 3.42 ERA in 18 games this month. 3. New York CF Juan Lagares has recorded at least one hit in eight consecutive starts.

Chase Anderson starts for the Diamondbacks tonight, leading me to wonder whether a pitcher has ever shared his home park's first name.

d'Kong76 May 23 2014 03:55 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

Let's chase Anderson by the second inning! Parra, RF Owings, SS Goldschmidt, 1B Montero, C Hill, 2B Prado, 3B Ross, LF Pollock, CF Anderson, P

This could be an interesting season for Wright if he starts to hit for power as well. He could make this his best with the start he's had. It's funny how he has so many hits and watching, you don't feel he's been in a groove yet. So many weak & fortunate hits. That was a real nice pulled line hit in the first tonight. Actually, the line hits lately make me think that groove is right around the corner.

Zvon May 23 2014 05:29 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

Hill homers off BoFat. CYoung can't get up that wall. Laggy would have had it. EYoung would have had it. Puig would have made it running over from right.

Anyone know if there is a start time predicted?

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 23 2014 07:04 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

Eyewitness weather says heavy rain has ended in Brooklyn. Ours started about a half-inning before it reached Shea.

Mired in rain delay hell. No WPIX so I'm listening to XM, which has sports talk radio to fill the gap. What a lot of blathering. And all just to keep aware of if/when the game resumes. Oh, well, at least I have gin.

Ashie62 May 23 2014 07:36 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

Still pouring...

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 23 2014 07:37 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

I have beer. Rain has resumed pretty steadily here in the BK. This is looking like a rainout suddenly.

Ashie62 May 23 2014 07:39 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

Pissing rain and thunder 50 miles east of citi... We are losing..so....super!

Doubleheader on Sunday afternoon.

themetfairy May 23 2014 08:42 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

Too bad they didn't schedule it for tomorrow. They could have held Banner Day between the two games.

d'Kong76 May 23 2014 08:47 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

That would make too much sense.

Edgy MD May 23 2014 09:14 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

I imagine double admission plays into that decision. Dice-K to get the spot start.

themetfairy May 23 2014 09:38 PM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

I'm mistaken - Banner Day is Sunday. But I doubt they'll have it between the two games.

The Rainmakers would like to apologize for any role they may have inadvertently played in making literal rain last night. May all the inclement weather be downstream by 4:10 PM. [youtube:2rbh2bb0]rUxhDnj1FAI[/youtube:2rbh2bb0]

Edgy MD May 24 2014 11:11 AM Re: IGT 5/23/14 ARI @ NYM: Snake, Rattle & Roll

Vic Black to return to the team for the double header.
