IGT 8/7 Mets vs Rockies Do it again Paul Blackburn 8:40

Post by ashie62 » Wed Aug 07, 2024 7:11 am

Paul Blackburn will make his second start as a Met against Randy Feltner tonight

People seem to forget that Blackburn has been an all star and it should really not be surprising if he spins some decent games

Our boys seem to be a bit lethargic out west. Stay off the slippery slope Metsies and thrive

I like Winker and Gamel in the lineup together as a change of pace

Why must the positions be in unreadable colors in lower case and
in a smaller size than the player's names? The player names are
perfect. Utterly perfect!

I know the reason, asking for a friend who I won't tell the reason!

I think I'll just click through all of the thousand channels or so that I have to figure out what channel the game is on. And if that doesn't work, I'll do the same for the 8:30PM time slot. And if that doesn't work, then I'll do the same for the 9:00PM time slot. Eventually, I'll figure out when and where the game is on. I guess I could skip TCM and the batshit crazy religious channels because I know the game won't be on any of those channels. That oughtta save me about four seconds worth of clicking.

You can also get the lineups from about a zillion different places but that doesn't stop one or two people from making a big Broadway production over the lineup every game.

I'll stop if it bothers you so.

Have a good rest of the IGT season, comrade.

No. I like the lineups. Really. I do. And I never said I didn't like the lineup postings.

But I also like the game start time and a local channel.

Someone that's starting an IGT when the roosters are out there cock-a-doodle-dooing it obviously can't post the lineups then. It's too damn early. That's what you get when you start an IGT so goddamn early. But the game start time and a local channel?

How did I stick it to you? Lets make this a Mets themed post. So I'll borrow a line from Bret Saberhagen: When I decide to stick it to you, (which I didn't think I did) you'll know it for sure.

Looks like you're starting with me.

And even if I didn't like the lineups, it'd be pretty selfish of me to insist that they be taken down just because I don't like them, when others here might like the lineup listings.

Including me. I love the lineup postings.

Great. Check out the eagle eyes on Cooby. You must've been the only one here to have noticed that. Thanks. So I only have to scan through my 1,000 channels for just the 8:40 time slot to figure out what channel the game's on. That'll help.

I overcomplimicated the system. The hex codes of the teams' official colors are baked into the pie, without regard for whether those colors work against a white background.

The Mets have no teritiary color, and their primary and secondary colors work against white. The Roxxx have a tertiary color, and it doesn't work so much.

But hey, it's a Gamel day! Victory is within grasp!

Alphabetically is a good way to narrow things down. Start with A&E then work methodically.
You'll have it by the 6th inning or so, 7th at the latest.

We not only get a lead, but a rare Alonso stolen base!

I can't say for certain, but it's his third stolen base, and I'm thinking the other two were on the tail end of double-steals.

Wow, Feltner's evening ends after an inning.

This game is on a platter for the Mets to help themselves to, should they be willing.

Gamel, meanwhile, has trimmed his fray.

Well, there was a replacement pitcher last night and we didn't exactly take him to task.



Don't like that steal attempt w/2 outs, a runner on 3rd and Nimmo up, even a cold Nimmo.

TRIVIA QUESTION: Who was the first Mets position player to make the All-Star Team three times?

I'm going with Stoins.
