The bullpen gate opening is legitimately embarrassing as a Mets fan.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Sherlock needs to know his runners. Sending Flores on Fraziers double with only one out was really a bad send. Wilmer was gunned out by 15 feet.

Should have had runners on second and third with one out. Instead the Mets end up with a runner on third with 2 outs. Of course, the Mets can't get a 2 out hit as
Mesoraco strikes out to end the inning.

Yet another New York Mets pathetic ofensive outing.

Well, DeGrom started so the Mets pathetic offense kicks into full suck mode. It's criminal that DeGrom has the best ERA in the league and not only can he not buy a win, but the Mets find a way to lose the vast majority of his starts.

Lock me away where the silly boys go

[Guest d'Kong76]

That song has so many great lines.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I was browsing Strand bookstore the other day and came across (not literally) Ocasek's book of lyrics and poems.

Something I never knew till just now, from Touch and Go:

All I need is you tonight
Flying like a cement kite, yeah

[Guest d'Kong76]

The cement kite is flying low and hard in the top of the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets are lucky to get one out on that play. They screwed it up like four different ways.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

geez. Great job, Mets.

Walk it off NOW!!!!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Phewmilia...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Here we go

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

stop with the bunting

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

great if Rosie and Dom can do this tonight

[Guest d'Kong76]

Dom! oh, *sniffle*

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Rosario lays down a beautiful bunt. Runners on second and third w/ one out.

Smith grounds it to the mound for an easy out. Nimmo intentionally walked. Now it's up to Bautista to get the 2 out hit.

[Edgy MD]

FUCK YOU, BASEBALL!

yay

[MFS62]

Who does he think he is, Wilmer?
Waitaminnit!
Did a Met actually put down a successful sacrifice bunt in the middle of all that?
Will wonders never cease.

What a great ending. Too bad that deGrom couldn't get the W but at least the team does.

No matter who was pitching, the win gets credited to Ocasek.

Not a fan of intentional walks in that situation. I'd rather face Nimmo knowing I had the luxury of some place to put him that face Bautista knowing I didn't have that luxury. Bautista draws an awful lot of walks too, which makes him that much more dangerous with the bases loaded. The pitcher tried to get ahead on him quickly, but it was exactly the pitch Bautista was looking for and the rest is history.
