Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 31 2015 05:01 AM

Honesty, integrity, quality and service in game-chatter for over 50 years! Come see what a big pitcher really is! Bartolo Colon opposes Jerad Eickoff or Erad Jackoff or something. We got to him for 3 in the first last week then he settled in. YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2015 05:55 AM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

I prefer her with the orange and blue baseball shirt. Important to keep the pedal to the metal here. We get two of the Phillies best pitching rookies this time around. However, the Nats Hit The Road! and get the St Louis Cardinals.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 07:15 AM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

No expectations, but I guess there's a real opportunity to bury the Nats here, provided the Phillies and Cardinals cooperate.

Philadelphia at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Monday, August 31, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. If the New York Mets are able to capture the National League East for the first time since 2006 this season, they will undoubtedly point to their ability to win at home and dominate the Philadelphia Phillies as two of the main reasons why. The Mets will attempt to notch their 10th straight victory over the Phillies on Monday when the division rivals kick off a three-game set in New York. The Mets, who ended a five-game home skid with a 5-4 win over Boston, improved to 43-23 at Citi Field on Sunday to maintain a 5 ½-game edge on Washington in their division. However, that mark pales in comparison to what New York has done against Philadelphia this season, outscoring the Phillies 83-43 while taking 12 of the 13 meetings – including all six at home. The Phillies (52-79) took two of three from San Diego over the weekend after dropping four straight to the Mets to begin their seven-game homestand in the previous series and are tied with division rival Miami for the worst record in majors. Jerad Eickhoff will get the task of trying to reverse Philadelphia’s fortunes against New York in his third career turn while the Mets’ Bartolo Colon will look to win his fourth game in as many tries against the Phillies this season. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, CSN Philadelphia, SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Jerad Eickhoff (1-1, 2.25 ERA) vs. Mets RH Bartolo Colon (11-11, 4.68) Eickhoff will get his second shot at the Mets in less than a week after allowing four runs (three earned) over six innings in a home loss to them on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Indiana native won his first big-league outing five days earlier, yielding five hits in six scoreless frames of a 7-1 victory at Miami. Eickhoff, who has only given up five hits in 30 at-bats against right-handed hitters, went 12-5 with a 3.85 ERA in three different minor-league stops before his promotion. Colon made his first relief appearance since 2011 on Saturday to help out an overworked bullpen, but will take his regular-scheduled turn five days after holding the Phillies scoreless over seven innings on Wednesday. The 42-year-old three-time All-Star is 6-1 in seven turns against the Phillies since joining the Mets at the beginning of last season. Ryan Howard (5-for-22) has homered twice against Colon, who is 7-3 with a 3.81 ERA in 12 career starts versus Philadelphia. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York acquired RHP Addison Reed from Arizona in exchange for two minor-league pitchers on Sunday and expects to activate him prior to Monday’s game. 2. The Phillies claimed LHP Ken Roberts off waivers from Colorado on Sunday. 3. Mets 1B/OF Michael Cuddyer, who went 3-for-3 with a tiebreaking RBI single in Sunday’s win, is 19-for-38 with four homers and 12 RBIs in games against Philadelphia this season.

Phillies E# is 12. They're currently tied with the Marlins on pace to be the first NL team eliminated from the postseason.

It's funny. Terry was mad enough when he had his leading power hitter (at least, until Duda's early August surge) batting leadoff all year. Now the heavens have conspired to give him a greater power hitter, and Terry bats him second. Terry don't give a shit. He's re-inventing baseball right in front of your eyes.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 05:16 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

It's ugly camo night. Colon, who is wearing two normal sized camo jerseys stitched together, I'm guessing, starts the game with 2 Ks on 6 pitches and gets the Phils in order. 0-0 Mets Phils booth making fun of Colons cap. What a bunch a dicks.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 05:25 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Gah! Back in my day umpires knew which bases they were responsible for!

In fairness, there's a lot to make fun of, given that the Mets continue this stupid, ugly, faux-patriotic, ridiculous, America-hating, sensible-taste-offending, history-ignoring, unoriginal, largely-hollow excercise of wearing "camouflage" uniforms in some misplaced, wrong-headed, possibly-with-collateral-profit-motive idea that they are "honoring" the U.S. Military when in fact they could just make large cash donations to appropriate charities and service organizations that would probably (likely) do a lot more good instead.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:13 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

At least it's going fast. because nothing is happening. I was out listening on the radio and Murphy popped out, then when I got back to the TV they (Comcast Sports Net Central) still were 4 pitches behind the Muff pop out. That's ridiculous. That's not "live" TV. 0-0 Mets after 4.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 06:21 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

I'm sure their record in camp is more or less similar to their general record, but it feels like 3-20.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:23 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

I am forcrd to sit through the Phils booth. Tonight they're lacking the Canadian noodle head guy, Matt Stairs, so this could be worse. I've never been a fighter or a bully, but everytime I hear his voice I wanna beat him up. 0-0 Mets coming to bat in the 5th. Mets only have one hit. ComeOONNN!

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:25 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

ConfortoBOOM!

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:27 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Fans should get errors on plays like that. ComeOOONN!

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:29 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

GrAnDyOUTTATHERE!!!!!! 3-0 Mets

Love my lefty lineup.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:33 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 31 2015 06:33 PM

That was perfect because the last thing I wanted to see was Colon busting it on the basepaths. Btw, nice piece of hitting by the rotund righty.

Ceetar Aug 31 2015 06:33 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

yay leads!

We're sitting around a campfire at the beach listening to this one. Yay summer

Crucial single by Phat Boy before that GrandyBoom.

Very kool the way Curtis urgently thanked that fan.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 06:38 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

I guess we might see Reed tonight.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:39 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Wow. The home plate ump made up for all the bad ones so far tonight with that gift of a call to end the frame.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 06:47 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Bart has given me honesty, integrity, quality, and service.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 06:53 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Suck it, side. You've been fanned.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:53 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Ks the side in the 7th. I may have to stop making fun of him.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 06:55 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Almost always a good thing.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 06:56 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Travis. You of all people, don't instigate the ump. Esp with Colon pitching. You want that pitch too son.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 07:01 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

This Phils booth is seeing the replay, same replay Im watching, and they say Conforto was off the bag. They're nuts. He dragged his leg over and then his foot was up against the side. This is bullshit. Stolen base. ComeONNNN!

Zvon Aug 31 2015 07:02 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

that is TOTAL bullshit. OE: even though I saw Conforto make a face that made me think he thought he may have come off the bag. I didn't see it. I thought he brushed his leg across it till his foot hooked it, never losing contact.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 07:04 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

I dunno. He certain broke contact with the bag. I wasn't sure the glove was on him when he did, but I imagine the review crew saw otherwise.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 07:05 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Boooo! I already sent in my official protest of the game.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 07:07 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Colon pitching in the 8th. The 8th folks! ComeONNN!

d'Kong76 Aug 31 2015 07:11 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

So, do they roll Bartolo out there for the ninth? (no fun intended)

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2015 07:12 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Boy, Colon suddenly the best pitcher on the staff over the past two turns.

d'Kong76 Aug 31 2015 07:12 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

And the dugout fist bumps say no.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 07:12 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Suck it, eighth inning. A hidden factor in dominance. The more plays the pitcher makes, the more a team is being dominated. In fact, the number of plays made by the pitcher is one of the hidden-but-useful ways to measure the level of play in a league.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 07:14 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Man, he was looking strong. I'd sure give him the ninth.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 07:26 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Gah!The 9th inning is like a separate ballgame anymore and I don't like it! 2 on no out in the 9th. Fammy lookin' for his groove.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 07:26 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Not happy.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 07:28 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Of course it has to be Ryan Howard up. A legendary ex-nemisis. Oh, yea, nice, walk him. You boob Familia! Now get out of it.

d'Kong76 Aug 31 2015 07:29 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Uh, an out or two here would be helpful.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2015 07:29 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

UN-happy.

Well, the tying run is off base. So much for the un-blemished August. Now let's win.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 07:32 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Whoa. Tha was close.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 07:44 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

Phils booth needs to learn a lil respect. Lil' bit. Fammy's 0-2 on the guy and they say "If the Mets can hang on and win here...blah,blah,blah". Hang on and win? Red sweatered ninnies. ComeONNN! We had it all along. The worst they coulda done was tie and then we'd just launch another comeback. Wow, I haven't felt like a real arrogant Mets fan in a long time. It feels nice, especially being stuck with their booth for the next two. How about Colon? What a much needed performance.

Zvon Aug 31 2015 08:56 PM Re: Lee's Toyota presents the 8/31 IGT

I'm really surprised this didn't jinx them. Also, figures they'd hit two more and make me have to fix that. In any case I should have waited til the month was over. I'm so excited these days I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
