I'm not familiar with the middle act, but I like Greenday and Weezer.



I would never have guessed out of all the regulars here you'd be attending.

I'm thinking Green Day as the Mets have turned me into a "basket case."



They have to win sooner or later and the Marlins do suck so why not tonight.

Re: IGT 08/04 - Metsies at Fishsticks - Grey Skies Are Gonna Clear Up?

Jeffy should be batting 3rd. Maybe Dom in the 2 hold would wake him up.



I'm all for J.D. at third and the other Brandon, Drury in RF.



Marlins SP Zack Thompson is actually pretty decent.



A split of this four game series would be golden. Maybe Dom in the 2 hold would wake him up.

Re: IGT 08/04 - Metsies at Fishsticks - Grey Skies Are Gonna Clear Up?

btw, that 5th inning featured four mound conferences: Todd Stottelmyre's 2nd trip of the game in the top half, then Hefner in the bottom half, then Nido and the IF one batter later, then Rojas for the pitching change one batter after that.



And somehow they're having trouble getting games in in under 3 hours?

Go figure.

A 3-0 lead in the 2nd inning with two on and one out and a chance to blow the game open

...then Nimmo hits into a first pitch GiDP and they've got one single since.
