IGT 09/17 - Nationals @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

Whenever Gary mentions Jose Tena's name I start hearing Paul Simon.
Sing tena-na, tena-na-na, she's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes ...

[Cowtipper]

Braves score is now 5-4, Braves. Reds are coming back.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like Megillicuddy is through after 94 pitches.

It also looks like Acuña is a major-league player.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Alonso is hitting!!

Triple short of the cycle!!

[Cowtipper]

Alonso wants that big contract.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Suddenly the game in Cincinnati is more intriguing.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves strand two in top 7. 5-4 Atlanta with Reds coming up.


Meanwhile, they get to gander at the Mets score in Cincy, in Denver, and in San Diego

[Cowtipper]

Reds take the lead!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Reds now up 6-5!

[Edgy MD]

Otto is one swing short of the Nats being back in this game.

[Edgy MD]

Got him looking!

Effective Otto!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Sometimes I find myself making Keith Hernandez noises when I'm watching the game.

[Frayed Knot]

Heading to the 8th in Cincy. 6 - 5 Reds

Also 3-0 Rox over DBacks
Keeping a second team within reach (or behind) is important, especially with the Padres starting to separate from the other three hopefuls.
What you don't want is to play well but lose a spot to a team getting super hot for a week. Now at least you'll need both to get hot in order
to knock you out.

Doesn’t some charity get $1M if Pete gets a cycle?

[Edgy MD]

Well, then, the Nats better not stand between some charity and a million bucks. Have a heart, man!

Also, why is Torrens replacing Álvarez?

[Frayed Knot]

Braves fail to score in top 8

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think Spencer Steer deserves some big purple.

[Cowtipper]

I forgot about Brazoban.

[Frayed Knot]

Also, why is Torrens replacing Álvarez?

So that Alvarez doesn't have to get one of those.

[Cowtipper]

Diamondbacks are losing 3-0.

[Edgy MD]

So, Torrens was going to be yesterday's emergency secondbaseman. Is Iglesias tonight's emergency catcher?

[Cowtipper]

Going into the top of the ninth in Cincinnati. Shut 'em down, Cincy!

[Frayed Knot]

Acc to Gary, the other Alvarez would next in line to don the tools of ignorance.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just switched to the Braves Reds game to watch the top of the ninth.

[Cowtipper]

One out in Cincy.
