From SB Nation’s “Talking Chop” Blog:
- “My prediction: Braves win 3-0 in 10 innings on a 3-run HR by Ryan Doumit. Harang pitches 6+ innings, giving up 8 hits, 1 walk, and 4 strikeouts. Colon throws 7 shutout innings, giving up 7 hits.”
- “PLEASE DON’T KILL ANYBODY METS. We’ve had enough of your shenanigans.”
- “Stuck with the metss broadcast fml”
- “can’t wait to watch Bartolo Colon hit tonight, although if he doesn’t even get the chance, that would also be acceptable”
- “I’m the idiot who went to two games all of last year and saw both J Hey and Huddy go down. I’m seeing the boys twice next week at Citi. I’m sorry in advance.”
- “Are the Mets
going to literally roll Colon out there tonight?" - “Would it be insulting or a compliment we played Camptown Races for every Dida at-bat tonight?”
- “I know that Duda and Ike Davis tend to play really well against the Braves. The Mets have been a tough matchup for the Braves over the past few years for that matter.”
- “Uggla is the only guy swinging in his intro video, there is a joke in there somewhere”
- “I have absolutely zero faith in Harang.”
- “SMH Aaron Harang can’t even throw a no-hitter for 0.1 IP”
- “Why isn’t anyone booing Colon’s fat, cheating ass?”
- “horsecrap”
- “might be a long night”
- “CY Colon”
- “I no longer get excited when a pitch comes at BJ down the middle”
- “Harang and Colon? The mound is going to be flat by the time they’re done stomping on it.”
- “Harang Colon sounds like an awful medical condition…”
- “Why did we give Fredi gonzalez an extension again”
- “The thought of seeing BJ in CF for 4 more years made me vomit.”
- “That makes me so, so, so sad”
- “Travis D…ah however the hell you spell it. 0 for 20 to start the season.
Top prospect" - “When he was in the minors, lots of scouts made him sound like the 2nd coming of Christ.”
- “But Christ ascended into heaven at age 33, so the second coming of Christ would be in his decline phase.”
- “just move BJ out of two hole. Still don’t understand why he’s there”
- “It doesn’t work that way. Once Fredi writes CF in the #2 spot, he can’t change for the rest of the year.”
- “I barf every time I see Dan swing, miss, and twirl his bat over his head”
- “Does Bartolo realize that a family of four could be covered by all the cloth needed to cover his body?”
- “It’s that realization that drives his competitive passion.”
- “I’m not sure what’s worse……listening to Bud Selig, or listening to the goons in the Mets broadcast booth. Thus far, I’ve chosen the latter, because I get SNY here in Syracuse.”
- “I kinda like the Mets goons (I’m in New Hartford near Utica) At least they’re entertaining.”
- “Eh…more annoying than entertaining imo.”
- “That walk will deprive us of watching the majesty that is Bartolo Colon’s swing…”
- “Made a mistake of going over to the Mets SB site. Saw that they ‘greend’ a pic that made fun of Hudson’s injury. What a classy bunch.”
- “Surprised?”
- “I guess I shouldn’t be. It’s just sick that people cheer a serious injury to another player because of a stupid sports rivalry.”
- “Coming from the fanbase who chanted Larry Larry because they thought it would annoy Chipper?”
- “You’re on a blog that routinely greens a gif of Bryce Harper crashing into a wall and getting a concussion.”
- “Wow Colon can not bunt”
- “He’d fit right in here”
- “Colon has more chins than a Chinese phonebook.”
- “I particularly enjoyed When a 40 year old pitcher blew BJ Upton away with 3 fastballs down the middle”
- “harangutan
”
- “Nice swings Harang, can you look less like a professional athlete?”
- “He could look like Colon”
- “Hanger…”
- “haranger*”
- “Uggla just got a Colon-oscopy”
- “WTF is up with our offense? This is getting ridiculous.”
- “Man this is depressing”
- “We need Chipper”
- “Ugh this game is depressing”
- “5 straight K’s. I am mind blown”
- “it is the Mets that the Braves are playing against…”
- “Perhaps BJ should have caught that ball.”
- “Another pathetic game. Embarrassing”
- “Oh fklhiuihihabjkdhgbing shit”
- “#BARVES”
- “Why are the Mets cursed? Was it cause of Chipper naming his son? or John Rocker?”
- “It started with the pitcher who will not be named….”
- “The curse of the mets, fuck those guys seriously”
- “So basically, ever since we were able to exorcise our Expos/Nationals demons and started beating up on them, the Mets became our resident cellar dwellers that give us fits? Well, at least it’s not the Marlins.”
- “I keep lookign at Colon And I expect him to ball up a la the fat kid in “Hook” and roll from the mound to the plate.”
- “89 MPH HEAT”
- “This is a hilarious tragedy.”
- “heyward looks like shit at the plate just like about 7 other Braves players.”
- “I give up. i’m going to bed. i will have nightmares of colons & harangutans with colons wrapping themselves around the bats of all of our hitters. Colons win, especially old ones.”
- “this sucks, fuck the mets”
- “Braves will hit 5 straight homers to win the game in the bottom of the ninth in honor of Hank. Count on it.”
- “Dear God this is sad. With Zach Wheeler up tmrw this could be a lost series to the fucking Mets”
- “Ball boy even sucks tonight.”
- “FUCK YOU CHIP YOU SICK BASTARD”
- “High fly ball” got me excited”
- “That was one of the most pathetic fckng games I have ever seen.”
