Mets take a lead on a Cabrera bloop double, 3 walks and a WP off Roark. Matt Reynolds playing 3rd for them, Lobaton at C for us. Still batting here in the top of the 2nd

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Error on Zimmo DP ball lets in 2 runs. 3-0. Bruce up.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Guillorme called out for running into Sherlock on Bruce double. Shoulda scored.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Gonzo leaves 2 on.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

AJ Griffin gives 2 back right away and gets yanked

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Flores playing left field today. Just hit a double off the wall. Montero rescued AJ before more damage done. 3-2 after 2.5

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Montero surrenders tying HR. Goodbye

[batmagadanleadoff]

Daniel Murphy and Bob Gallagher go back to back yard. Kevin Collins grounds into an inning ending double play -- O'Brien to Ryan to Goldberg.

Goldberg?

Wasn't he just fired by Trump? I guess he needed a job.

That's money. Wilmer put them back on top with a two-run homer in the fifth.

I'm not happy to be listen to the WOR commercials again.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like Flores handled his first chance, a fourth inning flyout off the bat of his namesake Wilmer Difo. Nothing else hit to him, on the ground or in the air, but he's still out there.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm skeptical, but if Wilmer can be a competent outfielder, it would be a great thing for this team.

[Edgy MD]

Tomás Nido pegs Difo stealing third. Lóboton threw one into center earlier.

[Edgy MD]

An Hansel Robles misses on a couple of close 3-2 pitches and gives up a three-run homer to the seemingly made-up Moisés Sierra.

Another lead done gone.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

was 2 out, nobody on iirc

[Benjamin Grimm]

It doesn't seem that Hansel is part of the solution.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Mets come back to take a lead on Nido RBI single and a squeeze bunt by Gullorme

[Edgy MD]

Nido singles home John Mora for the tie, and Guillorme gives the Mets a lead with the squeeze.

I LOVE THE SQUEEZE!!

[MFS62]

Nimmo singles home two - its 9-6 good guys.
Later

[Edgy MD]

"9-6, New York ... or at least something resembling the Mets beating something resembling the Nationals."

Missed you, Howie!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Stupid victory!!!

Tying runs on, guy overslides 2nd to get doubled up on deep sac fly

[Frayed Knot]

Is 9 runs our high for the spring?
I'm not talking about in one game, I was just wondering if they had scored [u:d3ab3wh7]a cumulative 9 runs[/u:d3ab3wh7] prior to today's game.

[Edgy MD]

I'll take a stupid victory considering how elusive the smart ones are. I'll also celebrate the debut of Wilmer Flores as an outfielder and the awakening of Wilmer Flores' bat, which I was suspecting wouldn't happen this year.

[Guest cooby]

yay ?

[Edgy MD]

We also get the return of Anthony Swarzak, so I think yay.

I'll also salute Jay Bruce bunting against the shift and Phil Evans continuing to thwack.

And spring is for hope.
