[Guest Mets Willets Point]

When neither starting pitcher has any stats for the season, you expect it would be an April game, not a game in July.

[Edgy MD]

Or a late September game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Both guys making their MLB debuts, tho De Los Santos seems like an actual prospect: 22 years old, 1.89 ERA at AAA.

[Edgy MD]

Hopefully, their extended families sit next to each other.

Uh-oh. A pitcher we haven't seen, with numbers like that. We're done for!

I would predict a no-no but they'll probably pull him after 100 pitches. He still could do it.
I never go negative with our guys, but these are negative times.

I'll go with we don't hit or score until we get into their pen.

[Edgy MD]

Don't believe that.

Here's Gagnon's fiancee, who missed an All-Star Break trip to the Grand Canyon to instead see her future hubby take the field at Big Citi.

[Edgy MD]

Great first batter! No dicking around!

[Edgy MD]

And we have our first Mets DP grounder into the shift.

[Edgy MD]

And our first opposition three-run homer. Left it up, man.

[Zvon]

Of course they are prepared for this new pitcher. Good teams do their homework.

[Guest 41Forever]

Great. 5-0 already. And Vargas is about to get run for yelling at the umpire from the dugout. He's not even on the 25-man, is he?

[Edgy MD]

Wait, what did I miss? I got 3-0.

[Guest 41Forever]

Nice play by Wilmer there.

[Zvon]

5-0 Phools in the 3rd.

Great play there by Wilmer keeps it that way. Cut down Santana at the plate.

What do we got? Lemme see. No hits, Kd twice, but 2 walks

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I was lagging on my feed. 5-0 for me now.

Mets have gotten the leadoff hitter on every inning. Have advanced him past first in no inning.


But Rosario reaches third!

[Edgy MD]

Looked like Hoskins lost a couple of teeth on that play.

[Guest 41Forever]

And Drew gets an RBI in his first MLB at-bat.

[Zvon]

WHOA! Hoskins hit that wall hard. See that stuff come out of the wall? WTF was that stuff?

Oh, and that's a hit. yay!

[Zvon]

AND THAT'S A RUN!

*grabs chest*

[Zvon]

Phils heads say it was gum. Could be. But first replay made it look like the stuff came from the gap in the wall.
Looks like mouth>wall>track in this little slice of action.

Mets lead the league in ALS funding!

[Zvon]

The play by Wilmer. I LOVE THE GLOVE™ (& arm).

[Zvon]

Someones gotta steal Franco's glove. I could possibly luv it. But not while he's using it.

[Edgy MD]

New strategy: Don't leave it over the plate to the guys with the braids and dreads.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, the Mets have a relief pitcher batting while they're down by five! Go, Mickey!

[Edgy MD]

What a ticket.
