IGT, 2024-06-23, Sunday in the Park with Cubs

[Edgy MD]

I kinda feel lucky to see Durham out of the lineup. He's been murdering the ball recently.

Uh... fixed it...

[kcmets]

Biggest game in the history of the franchise!

[Edgy MD]

Well, while you were fixing it, I swapped Mookie and Brooks.

I must've gotten the wrong lineup from SportsPhone.

[Edgy MD]

Fast forward 40 years.

I'm not sure what Jeff McNeil brings to the table anymore. I see him as a placeholder for Mauricio or Acuna

ESPN Announcers tonight

[kcmets]

David Cone - amazing what big money TV will pay to some people who
bring absolutely nothing interesting to a broadcast,

[ashie62]

Mets need to win a game against a wildcard hunting foe

[ashie62]

I like Cone but I would take Gelbs here

[ashie62]

Francisco giveth and taketh away

Bad read

[Edgy MD]

Pete Crow-Armstrong throwing out Francisco Álvarez is wrong nine ways to Sunday.

Making the first out of the inning at third base is also deeply wrong.

[ashie62]

That went into the crapper real quick

[Frayed Knot]

Three batters up, two of them get hits, ... inning over!

[ashie62]

They are talking up Crow Armstrong as a defender, he doesn't hit much yet

[ashie62]

Lord Counsell is butt ugly

[ashie62]

Bader masters a double

[Edgy MD]

Anudder leadoff dubble. Let's do it right this time.

[Edgy MD]

Remember, if things are tight in late innings, we've got Danny Heep, Jerry Martin, Kelvin Chapman, and Rusty all available off the bench.

[Edgy MD]

Francisco Lindor says we've got all we need in the lineup right here!

[ashie62]

LINDOR BOOM

[kcmets]

LindoBOOM... oh, Wrigley...!

[Edgy MD]

That's what you get for bailing on us, Jim Frey!!

[ashie62]

DOUBLE BOOM

[kcmets]

NimmBOOM... oh, Wrigley!!!

The printer is running out of purple toner!
