[ashie62]

Now that we are in free fall the Metsies will score a dozen for Jake.



Lester does not scare me or anyone else for that matter

Mickey is big on a batter's history v. a pitcher so I wonder if Rajai will get a start tonight: 16 for 52 with a HR (albeit 13 K's).

Kris Bryant has two bombs off of Jacob.

For the first time in a very long time, I'm actually on the "uh oh" fence about this season. Ya gotta believe and all that, but jeez, you have to get one today.

[Lefty Specialist]

Gotta stop the bleeding. Scoring a few runs for Jake to work with would be nice, guys.

So far it's the J Gang:



J.D. monster homer

Juan dazzling catch

Jake being Jake

[Frayed Knot]

Wilson Ramos just can't be slowed down ... because he's so slow already

I heard (pre-game show on WCBS) that he has the best BA in the NL since the All-Star Game.

J.D. Davis and Rosario are also in the top 10.

We're doing the LOB thing and the non-support of deGrom thing again.

Cubs doing a lot of grumpin' at the ump this evening.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that hurt my balls.

[MFS62]

Victor f'n Caratini?

Gimme a break.

You need baserunners. Take a strike.



It can't be said enough.

[Fman99]

This homestand is sucking some dick.

[Frayed Knot]

Tough to make any noise when the last five outs we've made have come on like six pitches - which is especially difficult considering that there were two strikeouts in there.

[Frayed Knot]

Make that seven outs (w/the error thrown in) on about ten pitches.

[LWFS]

So, yeah, down three, bottom nine.



Barring an extremely unlikely confluence of circumstances beyond our direct control, a loss here would essentially kill the season.

Let punch Kimbrell in the nose.

[LWFS]

Or do that.

Was at this game yesterday. Got free raincheck tickets after being at the rain shortened game against Cleveland.



Straw caught one of the first pitches. Good to see him.
