IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

seawolf17 Sep 11 2021 05:23 AM

For them: Corey Kluber, who we haven't seen since 2016 (but we lit him up). Assuming Lindor knows all his secrets from their Cleveland days, which means we should be able to crush him. For us: Taijuan Walker, who hasn't won a game since... July 3 against the MFYs! 7:45 first pitch, which means we should end just in time for brunch tomorrow morning.

I woke up thinking, "Man, all the pregame ceremony and emotional gravity is going to take all the wind from last night's romp right out of their sails." I actually woke up and thought that. What kind of asshole does that?

I read the Mets will wear New York and not the team name on their chests tonight. I don't know if it will new the lettering on the road uniforms. The 7 Line folks are speculating it will be the lettering from the 1987 road uniforms. A nice trubite.

*shudder* Thankfully it's essentially just a switch from the grays to snow whites.



Though I didn't mind the MFY-like straight text that followed, nor the script with the swoosh in 93-94.



Maybe because the latter was in conjunction with the unnecessary one on the home jersey, and the jersey lacked the racing stripes that made 1987's script seem like there was just too much going on.

Is the pre-game ceremony stuff on FOX5 as well? My channel guide isn't clear.

Frayed Knot Sep 11 2021 04:39 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

FOX is picking up their telecast at 7:00 -- or whenever their [3:30 start] football game ends so probably somewhat later -- and first pitch is supposedly 7:40. Much of that time in between will likely be spent on studio time, yakking, and, of course, commercials so how much ceremony you'll actually see from them is anyone's guess.

kcmets Sep 11 2021 04:43 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

Yeah, I just set the DVR from 7:00- 1:00. I don't want to watch the pre-game thing live but thought it would be nice to have to watch at my leisure.

Ceetar Sep 11 2021 04:54 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

Watching a Fox broadcast of the Yankees coupled with the over the top jingoism and false history stuff is too much for me. I'll follow along via gameday. J.D. Davis not playing for some reason.

kcmets Sep 11 2021 05:00 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

Or, one could watch a ballgame live with the volume muted.

Fox's garbage extends to the production value. They're not as bad as ESPN, but it's unpleasant.

Marshmallowmilkshake Sep 11 2021 05:47 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

False history? About 9/11?

There was a nice moment in the pre-game ceremony when the players shook hands. I learned about it from Twitter because F*x cutaway for commercials. Does F*x hate brotherhood? Does F*x hate America?

We will never know thanks to McCann making the last out but Maz was on deck and if McCann tied the game the right move would have been to send up Almora. He's just as likely to get a hit and he's faster so if he made the last out of the bottom of the 9th he would have been the automatic runner. I wonder if Luis would have gotten this point.

I just figured neither was an optimal choice but you go with a righty against Chapman. But I guess there's enough to analyze among those things that did happen rather than what never got a chance to happen. Run, Pillar!

Weird thing yesterday. I'm usually not particularly as engaged in following Saturday evening games this season, as throughout the pandemic, that's the evening I've been watching movies online with a group of friends who haven't been able to see each other. I can usually catch the first inning with youse, tune in to check the score once or twice during the film, and if the game goes long, rejoin in the eighth or ninth. So last night the game was running late, and even though my group meetup was also running late, there was no baseball before the Messenger call came in and we all joined each other online before the movie. One of our friends, Lovancy, is a lovely violinist. She wasn't able to join us for the film this evening (she didn't miss all that much), but she did chat with us beforehand to introduce us to this new dude she's been seeing — Chuckie. She's been telling us about him and so we know that he's an accomplished musician also. In fact, while she's a talented and accomplished amateur, he's a flat-out pro. We all say hi to Chuckie, and as we greet him through the screen, we can tell he's visually impaired. Not sure if he's fully blind, but from his indifferent focus on the screen, it's clear he's mostly blind. We're chatting along, but before they go, our violinist friend says, "Why don't you play them something?" He shifts over to the piano, and Lovancy says she'll be his camera operator. As he sits down, a very warm, slow "God Bless America" begins on the violin. We assume Lovancy must've pre-recorded it, as she's operating the camera, and he pauses a beat, and starts playing countermelodies and various chord colorations to accompany the violin. The song comes around for a second pass through and he starts singing "God bless America! Land that I love!" It wouldn't have been my first choice, but hey, it's September 11, and whatever, and he's just a terrific singer. An operatic tenor but without the distorted enunciations that make opera such a challenging taste to acquire for some. If he was singing in public, you'd say, "That's a terrific singer!" He finishes, and we clap our appreciation, and he thanks us and then says, "You're welcome, but who was playing the violin?" We thought, again, that it had been our friend, but it turns out that the Mets game that after twenty minutes of staring at an MLB.tv screen that said "You're event will start soon," I hadn't shut down the stream before taking the call, and the Mets broadcast had finally begun, opening with a solemn violin performance, and Chuckie's performance by pure coincidence started at the same time, and rather than complaining that some other musician is rudely playing over him, he found the key and dropped right in. Like a musical or something. Weird but cool.

So what movie did youse watch?

Edgy MD Sep 12 2021 12:19 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

1974 version of Murder on the Orient Express. It wasn't my choice, but I guess Albert Finney was suitably weird.

batmagadanleadoff Sep 12 2021 12:29 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

What'd youse watch just before that?

Edgy MD Sep 12 2021 02:25 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

Sorry. Didn't mean to hijack the thread. Before that was a crappy Tony Scott/Denzel Washington time travel/action film from 2006 called Deja Vu.

"Hijack" might not be the best word to use in a 9/11 game thread.

Has anybody ever before apologized for steering a thread several lanes over?

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 12 2021 04:28 PM Re: IGT 9/11 vs MFYs - See I TOLD You We Can Beat These Guys

That was a cool turn. I did it all wrong last night and had the radio for pregame and TV for game game.
