4/7/10 | Marlins at Mets | 7:10 PM EST

[Chewford]

Hi guys. Not sure if you heard, but there's a Marlins game tonight. I though it would be cool if we had a thread where we could discuss the game.

So anyway, the Marlins are in New York, taking on the Mets and the pitching matchup is as follows:

http://gdx.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/mlb/445060.jpg
Ricky Nolasco (0-0, 0.00 ERA) for your 0-1 Miami Marlins.

vs.

John Maine, (0-0, 0.00 ERA) for the 1-0 first place Mets of New York Town.

Game is on Fox Sports Florida. Lost was on last night, so you really don't have an excuse not to watch.

Throwing out tonight's first pitch is avid MLB fan, John Adams.

[MiamiHomer]

Fuck me again I will miss the game because of my 6:30 to 9pm class in which some UM football players have to make a presentation among others.

[Chewford]

Lefty is drunk.

[Jewbility]

No, but Nolasco is my baseball Wade, so

[Party]

Give him the heater Ricky.

Strike this GUY out.

[FishFanInPA]

So you have irrational love for Nolasco much like Wade? Which of the two do you have a poster of over your bed?

[Ramp]

Lefty has liked Nolasco since we traded for him

[TealMonster08]

Nolasco is gonna right the ship, Maine is a tool. Theres the scoutin' report.

[Ramp]

Coghlan
Maybin

[BigGameFish]

[Swifty]

I will not be there. I am sad.

[Jewbility]

So you have irrational love for Nolasco much like Wade? Which of the two do you have a poster of over your bed?

Wade poster is safely at home in Ft Lauderdale, but my uber rare Ricky rookie card is here with me in Tallahassee.

[¿NICK?]

So apparently I get the Rays game not the Marlins game. Even though my guide says they're showing the Fish.

I'm pissed.

[Beef]

Yep

[Jewbility]

same, It's RAY'S LIVE. This usually means they will not show the Marlins game.

[Beef]

Ehe, they will not be showing the Fish

[Jewbility]

there was a website that showed all the fish games not avialable for us last year...i dont know where

[Beef]

I'm searching for things
--------------------
My computer will definitely be virused

[Chewford]

SON OF A FUCK!
--------------------
It's email Wednesday for the Rays. I think I should email them and ask where my Marlins game is.

[Jewbility]

It will be replayed at 11pm tonight I think, so there's that.

[TealMonster08]

I am seeing Rich and Tommy...why isnt everyone else?

[m26555]

Nice piece of hitting by Cam.

[Bobbob1313]

I love watching Maybin run the bases.

Maybin 4 lyf.

[BigGameFish]

Maybin! :)
--------------------
one of my best friends runs the bases just like that. its hilarious

[m26555]

Hanley <3

[Chewford]

I am seeing Rich and Tommy...why isnt everyone else?

Many of use live in North/Central Florida.

[BigGameFish]

Playoffs!

[Bobbob1313]

I love watching Hanley hit even more than I love watching Maybin run the bases.

[TealMonster08]

I also live in North Florida, just outside of Gainesville, yet I am currently watching...odd.

[wanks1212]

i'm sure this has been clarified before, but i don't remember seeing it, so i'll ask. i thought the black alternate jerseys were reported as being ditched. when did that change?

[Beef]

JEWB MESAGE ME I DIDIT

[Chewford]

I also live in North Florida, just outside of Gainesville, yet I am currently watching...odd.

I'm just inside Gainesville and I am watching the Rays. :(

At least they're playing Baltimore.

I has MLB Gameday though, I hear we are winning.

[TealMonster08]

I am watching, and I also hear we are winning. At least you get to hear the cowbell on your broadcast of teh Rays...

[m26555]

Maine is all over the place.

[BigGameFish]

Maine is all over the place.


Mainly
--------------------
who said Baker MVP?

[TealMonster08]

Bake is deemed unclutch.

[FishFanInPA]

Well that didnt take long.

[Madman81]

Wow, weak throw

[Chewford]

Luis Castillo's MLB Gameday mugshot makes him look like he's very miserable to be a Met.

[FishFanInPA]

Yeah, I thought he had a better arm then that/.

[TealMonster08]

Coghlan didnt even approach that like an outfielder, but then again, he knows what a noodle arm he hath.

[FishFanInPA]

filthy K number one of the season.
--------------------
Umm, wtf.

[Chewford]

WHAT IS HAPPENING

[TealMonster08]

That mouth rule is stupid...I want to watch baseball!

[FishFanInPA]

Ricky fixed that.

[Madman81]

loljake

[FishFanInPA]

Jake hit like a 600 foot foul ball

[TealMonster08]

Cogs also deemed unclutch...and hes looked shaky at the dish so far this year...

[BigGameFish]

gaby stretched!
--------------------
maybin gets a hit...check!
gaby stretches at first...check!

[FishFF]

Cogs also deemed unclutch...and hes looked shaky at the dish so far this year...

lolwut

[TealMonster08]

I was attempting sarcasm...i did not succeed.

[BigGameFish]

hanley made his bat explode

[m26555]

Oh CANTU.

[BigGameFish]

what a bomb

[Fish and Chips]

CANTOOO!!

[m26555]

He has turned into a Met killer.

[Beef]

CANTU !

[Chewford]

Oh CANTU.

Well you came and you gave without taking!

[m26555]

Well you came and you gave without taking!
:marchmellow
--------------------
BAKE!!!

[TealMonster08]

Ahh, Bakes clutchiness returns...

[Fish and Chips]

Bakes!

[Bobbob1313]

I'm sad that I can't watch the game tonight. It's my mother in law's birthday, and we're out for dinner at an obnoxious Italian restaurant. The only tv in here is showing Sox-Yanks :(

[BigGameFish]

Maine already at 60 pitches

[Beef]

YIPPEEE

[FishFanInPA]

I'm glad we can hit crappy pitchers

[BigGameFish]

This is going to be the Mets 4 of every 5 games

[m26555]

I'm glad we can hit crappy pitchers
We generally have trouble against Maine, though.

[Bobbob1313]

John Maine must be such a dissapointment to Mets fans,

[m26555]

I'll take it.

[Goodfella]

SON OF A FUCK!
--------------------
It's email Wednesday for the Rays. I think I should email them and ask where my Marlins game is.

Whats their email because I will do it.

[Beef]

They don't read every email on the air

[Goodfella]

It'll still get the message across.
--------------------
Wall, Cousins, Patterson, Bledsoe and Orton all declaring for draft.

[Chewford]

Goodfella is drunk.

[Goodfella]

Nah.

[FishFF]

Jake plays drunk

[Chewford]

Bottom of http://www.foxsportsflorida.com/pages/rays if you want to harass them since they're harassing us with this damn Rays game on their damn channel.

[m26555]

This Nolasco fella doesn't look too bad.

[AdamRavs]

his off speed pitches are deff on.. lets get a few more runs now!

[¿NICK?]

Jake plays drunk

http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/9241/jakedn0.gif

[m26555]

Hanley!!!

[BigGameFish]

HANRAM

[TealMonster08]

H2R!

[AdamRavs]

HanRam!!!!

[FishFF]

jerk it out

[MiamiHomer]

:h2r I'm a sucker for oppo HR's.

[¿NICK?]

It was the Simple Jake picture. It motivated him.

[m26555]

The Mets' announcers are salivating over Hanley's home run.

[Swifty]

I loved Cohen on SNY "Hanley to right, but there's a lot of room out there....and oh, it's outta here."

[Chewford]

He's hot cause he's fly.

[¿NICK?]

Does Gameday not show videos anymore? Like highlights from the game?

[Chewford]

Does Gameday not show videos anymore? Like highlights from the game?

I think you need to purchase special upgraded Gameday.

[MiamiHomer]

Does Gameday not show videos anymore? Like highlights from the game?

From MLB.com? I think you have to pay for that now.

[BigGameFish]

Bake with 3 solid ABs

[¿NICK?]

From MLB.com? I think you have to pay for that now.

Assholes.

[Chewford]

He done.

[FishFanInPA]

so here's a question:

I'm listening to the Mets radio broadcast and they do their inside the numbers thingy and they say the Mets are 32-17 on opening day and then 24-24 for game two.

Umm, there's so much wrong with that. Please someone interpret it.

[BigGameFish]

Hey this Gaby dude isn't so bad

[Beef]

Fip, what are all the problems?

one year the mets lost on opening day, took the advice of the mets version of mb.com, and cancelled the rest of the season, because it was a lost cause

[¿NICK?]

I'm assuming they're including the win on Monday.

[Goodfella]

Gaby Sanchez for ROTY!

[FishFanInPA]

Thanks Wanks....and Nick...didnt think about that. They've only been around for 49 years?

[BigGameFish]

gaby :fip

[Beef]

I'm assuming they're including the win on Monday.

I really wanted to read his explanation

[Goodfella]

Gaby Sanchez for IOTY!

[FishFanInPA]

Excuse me Beef, I was driving home from work in the car and it didnt click in right away. I'm sorry we're not all as smart as you are.

[Beef]

Excuse me Beef, I was driving home from work in the car and it didnt click in right away. I'm sorry we're not all as smart as you are.

It is ok, I just wanted to read the explanation since you said there were so many things wrong with it

[TealMonster08]

Dont get upset at "The Gift of Gab" for getting gunned at the dish...get upset at Espada...wheres BoBo Porter when we need him?

[FishFanInPA]

I didnt realize the Mets havent been around for more then 50 years

[Beef]

Ugh, too many walks

[Chewford]

Way too many walks for Ricky.

[FishFanInPA]

Mike Jacobs is really making a lot of fans in NYC.
--------------------
HIS NAME IS DAN UGGLA

[Beef]

FUGGS

[Bingebag]

ahhhhhh, signed up for mlb.tv just in time to see danny uggs go yard

[Goodfella]

Before sounding like an idiot for the rest of the season, can Gaby even qualify for ROTY?

[TealMonster08]

this nolasco guy is a walk machine..

[FishFanInPA]

wow, that was close.

[Chewford]

Fredi needs to call back Nolasco put out a new Pokemon.

[BigGameFish]

ditto













the pokemon

[Beef]

His ratio is ruined for the whole season

[m26555]

That should have been a DP.

[AdamRavs]

Solid 1st start for Ricky exactly what we needed after Mon!

[kylekash]

Fredi loves him some Pinto!

[FishFanInPA]

oh boy, now the fun begins.

[AdamRavs]

yay the car is in to pitch.. cue blood pressure up
--------------------
weeeeeeeeeeee

[FishFanInPA]

honestly, i'd prolly keel over if Pinto ever got the first batter out.

[AdamRavs]

i wanna know the stat of the on base percentage against Pinto with the 1st batter lol

[BigGameFish]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices this

[TealMonster08]

i have a bad feelin Pinto is gonna be this years Calero...wheres my boy Burke?

[Chewford]

Fredi wants to keep his good Pokemon healthy for more dangerous situations.

[AdamRavs]

ugh!!!!!!!!!! wtf

[Swifty]

Pinto is so bad.

[BigGameFish]

:fip

[FishFanInPA]

God fucking damnit

[kylekash]

Fredi loves him some Pinto! He keeping me on the edge of my seat.

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah Cora he so wanted to hit you.

[AdamRavs]

unreal how we leave him out there still

[Chewford]

Renyel Pinto fainted!

[Swifty]

i have a bad feelin Pinto is gonna be this years Calero...wheres my boy Burke?

Calero was a very effective reliever for us, not sure what you're getting at.

[FishFanInPA]

Usage maybe?

[MiamiHomer]

Calero was a very effective reliever for us, not sure what you're getting at.

Maybe that he will be used everyday? I don't know.

[AdamRavs]

fuck fuck fuck

[BigGameFish]

09 all over again

[FishFanInPA]

Can we deport Pinto? Send him to Antarctica?

[m26555]

Vintage Pinto.

[BigGameFish]

send him to the Astros

[AdamRavs]

he needs to go away yr after yr this bullshit happens

[FishFanInPA]

He had the trifecta of suck....Hit, HBP, BB
--------------------
What's Tank doing nowadays?

[TealMonster08]

Usage was what I was getting at...my bad.

[Swifty]

Maybe that he will be used everyday? I don't know.

Pinto already is top-3 all time in appearances in franchise history, we use him a lot.

Three things I feel we're almost guaranteed to see: Pinto, Pinto sucking and a Fredi double switch.

[AdamRavs]

now the go ahead run comes to the plate in Wright fucking sweet

[FishFanInPA]

What's Tankersley doing nowadays?

[AdamRavs]

What's Tankersley doing nowadays?

playing in NOLA

[BigGameFish]

i feel dissapointment in my future

[TealMonster08]

Welcome to the Marlins Veras, fuck up here, and were gonna have problems. Succeed, and you are the hero of the night.

[Chewford]

We always seem to have someone in the bullpen who sucks but we like to use them because they're lefties and Beinfest heard you're supposed to use lefties in special situations. Armando Almanza, Matt Perisho, Pinto, there's some many of Beinfest's greatest hits among sucky lefties.

[MiamiHomer]

Baker!!!!!

[FishFanInPA]

YESSSSSSSS LUCKY FUCKING BOUNCE

[AdamRavs]

wow! what luck that was!

[Swifty]

Just how we drew it up.

[Namaste]

BailOutThePitchingStaff.com/Baker

[AdamRavs]

lol what a jacked up inning

[FishFanInPA]

Baker shoulda caught that originally but we'll take it.

[BigGameFish]

I dont think I've ever seen that before

[TealMonster08]

Veras is awesome..he doesnt even have to throw a strike to get out of a jam...

[FishFanInPA]

the mets doing something dumb? Happens all the time.

[AdamRavs]

I have seen it before just not by us lol

[kylekash]

hahaha... set them up good. Give them hope then steal it with an inning ending wild pitch out at the plate!

[Goodfella]

I still havent seen it

[Beef]

YAHOOOOO

[Swifty]

Baker shoulda caught that originally but we'll take it.

:fip

[Chewford]

I take it Johnny Cakes did something good.

[Swifty]

I take it Johnny Cakes did something good.

Past ball off his glove turns into getting Tatis out at the plate to end the inning.

[AdamRavs]

wonderful 2 on no one out
--------------------
ugh! wtf helms

[Namaste]

Very bad thoughts are going through my mind

[BigGameFish]

does every pass ball at first go into the dugout in citi field? thats fucking retarded

[¿NICK?]

Amazing bullpen performance.

[FishFanInPA]

Helms and Uggla deserve a :fip

[Chewford]

Yup, this year is going to be fun.

[AdamRavs]

helms in for his D lol

[FishFanInPA]

CAN WE STOP GOING TO THE SCRAP HEAP FOR OUR BULLPEN GOD DAMNIT

[MiamiHomer]

I can already imagine how "interesting" this season will be with this bullpen.

[AdamRavs]

yet we sent tim wood down and kept veras

[BigGameFish]

Great, we still have Nunez to sit thorugh next inning...if we get that far
--------------------
i hate this

[kylekash]

glad we addressed the pen in the off-season

[AdamRavs]

Bake getting a workout beind the dish

[m26555]

WHERE WAS THAT

[BigGameFish]

WHAT?!!?!?!

[kylekash]

-------

[FishFanInPA]

LMAO. FUCK YOU DIAZ

[Swifty]

My oh my

[BigGameFish]

wow.....that was right DOWN THE FUCKING MIDDLE

[MiamiHomer]

La la la la la la la

[kylekash]

lol... fredi gon kill someone with that evil stare

[AdamRavs]

i dunno how much longer i can sit through this

[FishFanInPA]

Fredi is shooting daggers out at Veras from the dugout. He should be shooting them at Beinfest.

[m26555]

Unreal.

[Namaste]

Just turn the TV off guys.

You know how this ends.

[Chewford]

Beinfest is cute. He throws together a crappy bullpen and then says we better make the playoffs.

[BigGameFish]

can we do that fancy wild pitch thing again

[AdamRavs]

he shouldnt even be out there hell he shouldnt be on a big league team!

[Swifty]

Any reason why we're sticking with Veras here? I thought we carry 12 pitchers for a reason.

[FishFanInPA]

This leaving pitchers in too long thing is for the birds.

[kylekash]

cause he throws mid 90s

[BigGameFish]

ugh
--------------------
this is horrible.

[AdamRavs]

ahead of 2 hitters 0-2 and walked them both.. he doesnt have a fuckin out pitch

[FishFanInPA]

well he did have an out pitch but Laz Diaz's thumb was up his ass

[BigGameFish]

i wish there was no net back there so that fat met fan dies
--------------------
game over anyone?

[kylekash]

couldnt we have kept lindstrom for this suckfest of all fastballs?

[AdamRavs]

well the call diaz didnt make made up for the check swing call.. not right but thats what happened

[TealMonster08]

Does anyone know what Badenhops role is on this team this year?

[DropkickAlex]

Why is Veras still in? I'm only watching on ESPN Gamecast but I'm hoping to God there's a reason...

[AdamRavs]

LOLZ at CC

[FishFanInPA]

What the flying fuck Coghlan

[Fish and Chips]

[Swifty]

We're so awesome.

[BigGameFish]

THAT'S OUR ROY!

[TealMonster08]

LOL!!!!!! Coghlan tried to hit a plane!

[Namaste]

http://i41.tinypic.com/5k0fah.jpg

[Swifty]

What's the record for double switches made in a game? I feel like Fredi can break it.

[AdamRavs]

CC's arm has been AH-mazing tonite

[m26555]

I've never been so happy to see Nunez in my life.

[kylekash]

Nunez to save the day?

[AdamRavs]

Leo gonna be all fired up too.. this is gonna be fun as well

[Ralph]

Yea get cogs the fuck out of LF. And a pen that has both Veras and Pinto is gon be fruity

[FishFanInPA]

I've never been so happy to see Nunez in my life.

yeah, because he's the king of 1-2-3 innings.

[BigGameFish]

I have a feeling one of the two douchebags will be sent down soon

[AdamRavs]

the shitty thing as if helms actually turns two were out of this disaster
--------------------
I have a feeling one of the two douchebags will be sent down soon

Pinto is going nowhere

[m26555]

yeah, because he's the king of 1-2-3 innings.
It was a ploy on how bad our pen looks.

[FishFanInPA]

Emilio's gonna save the day.

[AdamRavs]
