Seriously. I'm on the ropes. First pitch yet to be thrown.

I can last 'til eleven... maybe

This is a key matchup. It's the first game of the Brady Feigl era, as far as I'm concerned.

Edgy MD Sep 05 2018 02:31 AM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

Ka-POWIE! Welcome back, Brucie.

Fman99 Sep 05 2018 02:40 AM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

Bruce is up to 5 HRs! That's painful.

Three players who hit 50 homers as a Met and as a Dodger: [list:z9xatel2][*:z9xatel2]Piazza[/*:m:z9xatel2] [*:z9xatel2]Hundley[/*:m:z9xatel2] [*:z9xatel2]Um ... Eddie Murray?[/*:m:z9xatel2][/list:u:z9xatel2]

Back to the mill for Hill!

Fman99 Sep 05 2018 02:51 AM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

This is some good stuff. Nice blammo by Conforto against the lefty.

Holy shit! Todd Frazier's catch was bullshit?!!

The lead hangs on the razor's edge. Vargas is, like, early-season Vargas.

Edgy MD Sep 05 2018 03:31 AM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

Bruce, you were an outfielder, right?

Edgy MD Sep 05 2018 03:38 AM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

Very boney-headed defense in this crapticle inning.

Edgy MD Sep 05 2018 04:29 AM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

Mets get the call! Let's get Handsy the win!!

Fman99 Sep 05 2018 10:22 AM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

I went to bed just before they flushed this game down the crapper.

41Forever Sep 05 2018 10:26 AM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

Yup. Went to bed when they were down 5-4. Spared myself another absolute bullpen meltdown.

Trivia answer was Hundley, Piazza & Kent. I had to look it up this morning. Hundley had exactly 50 HRs as a Dodger.

Frayed Knot Sep 05 2018 12:49 PM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

My immediate guess was Strawberry, but we tend to forget how sucky Straw was out there playing for his 'dream team'. "Me and 'E'*, we're gonna tear it up out there" But he lasted only three years into his four year FA deal and played less than 1-1/2 years worth of games (214) during that time. Hit hit just 38 LAD HRs while batting .243 (.263 as a Met) * fellow LA-area pal Eric Davis

Game turned to shit, though.

MFS62 Sep 05 2018 02:18 PM Re: IGT 09/04 - Mets at Dodgers

Just goes to show what happens when Jeff McNeil isn't in the starting lineup. (Not sure how much of that is joking. I know the game went south when he got into the game, but still ... ) Later
