IGTs ST 2025: These Couldn’t Matter Less

[kcmets]

That is the actual reference he was making.

No he was NOT! He was going with Carrol Channing, another actress

No, Edguardo was right. Frayed is right too.

As usual, I'm least funny when I try to be. But glad
to see some people are still paying attention.

[ashie62]

That is the actual reference he was making.

No he was NOT! He was going with Carrol Channing, another actress, who was in Gentlemen Prefer Blonds ( the show that included the song Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend).
I was referring to Stockard Channing, who was in Grease.
Two totally different references.
Later

Carol Channing was big on the game show circuit

Stockard wasn't blessed with beauty but I always hoped she would take her top off in her films

[MFS62]

My kid, Trey McLoughlin pitched a scoreless ninth (0H, 1BB,1K).

Okay, let's reconstruct this.

KC makes a punning reference to Stockard Channing.

Frayed Knot replies that Carol Channing could have been referenced instead.

MFS62 says, or maybe he could have mentioned Stockard Channing.

Edgy says, he did mention Stockard Channing.

MFS62: No! I was referring to Stockard Channing, who was in Grease! Stockard Channing and Carol Channing aren't the same person.

Ashie: I always wanted to see Stockard's boobs.


By the way, I recently learned that Carol Channing was a light-skinned black woman who hid that part of her heritage.

[MFS62]

Good summary. We can always count on Ashie to get to what really counts.

My horoscope today:

Indulge that one friend or colleague who's got so much to say today. There's no special reason for you to deny them. You may want to shut your mouth entirely.

I'll listen to my horoscope on this one.

[Frayed Knot]

Or we could have mentioned Archie, Peyton, Eli, or Cooper Canning ... but maybe it's better if we save one of them for the Fall League.

1:05'r against Houston. Game is on MLBN...

That's the kind of exchange that traditionally drew replies of: RMPL

[MFS62]

The Mets open up against Houston.
The lineup today says they don't want to give them an early peek at the playbook. (J/K)
It gives a lot of guys who may not be regulars a looksee.
And the stars don't take bus trips in Spring Training.

OE: Tylor Megill with 4 shutout innings.

Later

[MFS62]

A Luis Guillorme hit drives in Zack Short to put Houston ahead 5-4. Game's in the 8th inning.
OE: 7-4 Houston is the final score, with SR-F giving up the last two runs.
Later

[MFS62]

Paul Blackburn seems to have figured out what has been wrong and pitched four immaculate innings in today's 2-0 win over the Cards.

[metirish]

I forgot about him

[kcmets]

6:10'r today versus Cardinals... SNY


Francisco Lindor (S) SS
Juan Soto (L) RF
Starling Marte (R) DH
Mark Vientos (R) 3B
Brett Baty (L) 2B
Luis Torrens (R) C
Jose Siri (R) CF
Joey Meneses (R) 1B
Tyrone Taylor (R) LF

Kodai Senga (RH) P

[Edgy MD]

Second base Baty is an interesting wrinkle.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Watching this debacle. Tied 3-3 going into the bottom of the 9th. Cardinals can't catch the ball. Soto has 2 RBI including a home run. Senga didn't look good. Jose Siri is an idiot.

Ends in a tie.

[MFS62]

The last two outs were K's by my kid Trey McLaughlin.
I guess that goes as a GF.

With dozens of republications of that Big Al essay, it is amazing to think any Crane Pooler would need to be told who Stockard Channing is.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Not 4 nothing but the Mets look like shit.

Also this web site performance is awful.

[kcmets]

Eh, I'll have to check my horoscope *rolleyes*

[ashie62]

Hayden Panettiere is catching?

Double DD chest protector please

[Edgy MD]

Mets prospectos with a 3-0 lead on the Nats prospectos.

2024 Draftee Boston Baro with two hits including a homerun.

[Edgy MD]

Nick Morabito, cf (2 for 3, SB, 2 RBI)
Carson Benge, rf (1 for 2, BB, 2B)
Jett Williams, ss (0 for 2, BB, SB, RS)
Ryan Clifford, 1b (1 for 3, HR, RS, 2 RBI)
Jacob Reimer, dh (0 for 3, 2 SO, shame
Eli Serrano III, lf (0 for 3, SO, less shame)
Kevin Parada, c (2 for 3, RS)
Boston Baro, 3b (2 for 2, 2 RS, RBI)
Jeremy Rodriguez, 2b, (0 for 1)

Now at 5-0. Mets pitchers are mocking Nats hitters by lobbing balls underhand.

[Centerfield]

Not 4 nothing but the Mets look like shit.

Was there. Can confirm.

[Fman99]

Not 4 nothing but the Mets look like shit.

Also this web site performance is awful.

Listened to this one in the car while driving Fboy back to Oneonta for the end of spring break. They didn't play very well and XM only had the Astros radio crew, who sucked almost as much as the Mets players did
