Wheeler first, I think.

Was this a "premium" game so you had to spend more? If so, you got ripped-off!

MFS62 Mar 07 2018 04:28 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Who are the three obvious major leaguers in that lineup? Gardner, Romine, and Austin? (BTW, isn't Austin MF's adoptee? Where has she been?) Premium? Who's zooming who? Fuck them and the [crossout:3pju82n6]horse[/crossout:3pju82n6] bus they rode in on. Later

d'Kong76 Mar 07 2018 04:32 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Asdrubal Cabrera, 2B Yoenis Cespedes, LF Jay Bruce, DH Todd Frazier, 3B Adrian Gonzalez, 1B Jose Reyes, SS Travis d'Arnaud, C Juan Lagares, CF Matt den Dekker RF

This game pits one of the smartest organization's in baseball against one of the dumbest. Also, a first class citizen of a first class city against a second class citizen of a first class city. Can you guess which is which?

Reminds me of those riveting discussions back in the days of Madoff and Megdal over who should get more playing time: den Dekker or Nieuwenhuis and where in the lineup should they bat? Jeez, it was like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

They happened to win. The other team's been to the World Series once in 15 years, they happened to lose. One team hasn't had a losing record since 1992. The other team has just two first place finishes in that same time even though both teams play in the same exact market. First place finishes are the best measure of a team's success because they're based on the largest and thus, most meaningful sample size -- an entire 162 game season. The playoffs are a lucky crap shoot. Do you really wanna go here? There's more.

d'Kong76 Mar 07 2018 05:38 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

I never really 'got' the Met fans who wish their team was more like the Yankees. There is truly nothing in my entire soul that has any admiration for the Yankees. Rooting for the Yanks for me would like rooting for Russia to beat Team USA in a hockey or basketball game with gold on the line. The late 90's bandwagon jumper-on-ers are the worst. They're the ones who wear the Got Rings? tees shirts and have Mother Torresa statues on their dashboard. It's evil, man. Pure evil. It's like rooting for Verizon or Con Ed. Boo. Boo, boo, boo!

batmagadanleadoff Mar 07 2018 05:54 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Speaking for myself, I don't want the Mets to be like the Yankees. I just wish the Mets weren't so much like the Mets.

d'Kong76 Mar 07 2018 06:00 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

I know, every once in awhile I have to get up on my YLDB Soapbox and preach to the choir.

A Boy Named Seo Mar 07 2018 06:25 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Couple K's for Wheels in a scoreless first. How might Matz fare as a reliever?

I don't admire the Yankees, I just acknowledge that their ownership has consistently spent like a big market team should. I want the Mets to spend like a big market team too. Like the Dodgers. Wilpon loves the Dodgers, he should try to be more like the Dodgers.

Spring Training broadcasts are most welcome when there hasn't been one yet; when spring is truly in the air; when the nor'easter outside your window requires a counterpoint. Ideal deployment of exhibition baseball today.

Nice, lil slider by Wheeler to K Andujar and end the 3rd. He's Wheelered his way through the first 3, allowing 4 baserunners, but 4 K's helps with that.

Edgy MD Mar 07 2018 07:24 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Mets: 2 runs on 1 hit. Yankees: 1 run on 6 hits Let's go, dumb guys!

MFS62 Mar 07 2018 07:27 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

2 runs, 1 hi, and no RBI for the good guys. (According to the box score I saw) How did they score? Error? Later

Edgy MD Mar 07 2018 07:29 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Two-run error by Yankee centerfielder Estevan Florial.

I never ever again want to see that clip of Thom Brenneman interviewing that stupid goddamn bird.

Yikes. Met pen implodes in the 8th.

No way Montero makes it out of spring alive, is there?

d'Kong76 Mar 07 2018 08:45 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Out of options according to the booth... cut bait?

Edgy MD Mar 07 2018 08:48 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

It's certainly going to be a long night for Rafael.

Hope Mickey has an extra pink slip for McGowan, too.

Not the ideal way to spend a snowy afternoon. Two more games on TV the next 8-9 days, way to love the fans.

Nymr83 Mar 07 2018 10:22 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Who said they love the fans?

d'Kong76 Mar 07 2018 10:29 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

Whatever; not sure why you've taken to busting my balls again but have fun.

Nymr83 Mar 07 2018 10:37 PM Re: ST IGT 03/07 - YDB @ NYM

I'm messing around. I see no reason a team that owns its own network doesnt show 99% of the games, though
