Built for homers, the Mets get one back.

Booth goes through a media guide while some concerto music plays
in the back round.... a new month tomorrow...

[Methead]

See, Reyes can still be useful.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'm dying here...

[MFS62]

I'm guessing Mickey will start his post game interview with, "Its just one game".
And the snicker from the media types in the room will drown out his next sentence.

um

[Guest d'Kong76]

Jose is gonna need Tommy John surgery tomorrow.

[ashie62]

Mesoraco!

[MFS62]

Make that outright laughter.

Kelly with a little hot head throw glove to the ground up
by 21 runs.

Game over. 25-4... historical, but I'll leave that for historians
among us.

[Edgy MD]

So, that happened.

Clearly it's the fault of whoever decided to send Rosario.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Truly this was all on Matz. I mean, zero concentration. This guy's career has been one disappointment after another. And all of you were scared when I said, let's flip this fucking stiff before he turns back into Steven Matz, Yankee Loving Douchebag.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'm still watching post-game, guess I love a train wreck. 32 pitches,
8 hits and 7 runs. On a good day you could probably throw underhand
and have people hit into more outs.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets in DC came to play!
Thus thought Mickey Callaway!
But it's a bed-shit start for Matz!
In a box, I spot Saul Katz!
HEY, SAUL, TELL ME WHAT'S THE SCORE!
25 OR 6 TO 4!

Here we've reached the trade deadline!
Wilmer Flores still is mine!
But he's pulled early from the game!
Is Hand and Foot and Mouth to blame?!!
NOW MY BUTTHOLE'S GROWING SORE!!
25 OR 6 TO 4!

Is that Reyes on the mound?!
Down by more than one touchdown?!
Six more runs have crossed plate!
Mickey, time to abdicate!
THIS GAME'S RAPE-BY-DINOSAUR!!!
25 OR 6 TO 4!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Holy Pythagoras, Batman!

From the Daily News game article:

Steven Matz, one of the core four of pitchers the club refused to part with due to delusions of grandeur that they can contend in 2019 with this roster as currently constituted, got lit up by the Nationals. He didn’t make it out of the first inning, allowing eight hits and seven runs and recording just two outs.

[Frayed Knot]

So Drew Smith, after throwing one inning/20 pitches -- one scoreless inning I might add -- needed to be removed from the game in order to make room for the Jose Reyes clown show?

[MFS62]

Earlier this season, I remembered the saying, "Smile, it could be worse".
So I smiled.
Sure enough.
Its gotten worse.

Good job.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

No more calls, we have a winner.....

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

yes that's a classick

[metirish]

I tuned out as Matz was getting pounded, still, never expect to see this scoreline....I didn't bother turning over when I saw Reyes was pitching , .

i gave up when it was 16-0. I am surprised I even made it that long.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This game may have broken Baseball Reference. It's simply not listed on the Mets page for "Schedule & Results" nor is it listed among the other game results from July 31 on the home page.

[Guest cooby]

Edgys song is worth the score.

[Edgy MD]

Thanks. I confess it was The Old Mole at FB who pointed out the happy coincidence between the score of the Mets' humiliation and the title of Chicago's 1971 soul/metal classick.

For a song that clocks in a 4:50, there aren't a lot of words.

In Chicago's defense, they *did* write it in the middle of the night.

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

I was at the Red Sox game last night and every half inning I saw the Fenway scoreboard operator would walk out to the NYM-WAS section, scratch his head, and add larger numbers next to WAS.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I think maybe I'll retire for awhile from the rallying IGT sub-subjects, that
was just embarrassing.

[metirish]

#Metstwitter is livid( it's always livid) that the bench, coaches etc. were laughing when Reyes was pitching...were they?, I really don't know what else they are supposed to do . I do recall when Desi Relaford pitched in 2001 there was some mild controversy after the game about some members of the team were laughing.
