IGT 06/15 - Cubs at Mets

[Fman99]

Walker is $$$$$

[Edgy MD]

We want Gsellman! We want Gsellman!

[Lefty Specialist]

Lugonation!

[Fman99]

Lugo is $$$$$

[Edgy MD]

He's no Gselly!

[Fman99]

Lugo was lights out in the 8th, so, naturally, Luis has May warming up for the 9th. Despite the fact that May looked like chewed gum yesterday.

If we had advanced that runner to second, Guillorme might've driven somebody in there.

[Lefty Specialist]

Winkler makes the Mets jump the shark that inning.

[Edgy MD]

I didn't think Rizzo did such a great job there. He let it drop but didn't keep it in front of him, and then didn't get the lead runner.

[Frayed Knot]

Sooner or later, those fault for NYM bats hitting Contreras behind the plate starts to fall on Contreras.

He went for the easiest DP and the Cubs had it in the bag ... until they didn't.

[Edgy MD]

As they say in Scotland, the shift cost oos an oot.

[Edgy MD]

Seeing Rizzo choking up like that, I was almost rooting for him. He looked like Rusty Staub.

[Frayed Knot]

And there it cost Rizzo a safe

[Edgy MD]

We need a plan B up in the pen.

[Frayed Knot]

Doesn't Sogard have to go back on tour with the Jayhawks soon?

That's not very Scottish.

[Edgy MD]

Marisnick did well during his brief healthy period last season, but that was his greatest Mets contribution right there.

[Frayed Knot]

Oxygen Magnesium!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Loogy down to fumes here.

[Edgy MD]

Fyooms!

[Chad ochoseis]

The Mets win the damn thing!

[Frayed Knot]

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody look at your hance!

[seawolf17]

WHEW.

[Edgy MD]

One of the problems with pinch-runners is that sometimes, the guy doesn't feel like he's just supposed to get around the bases more gracefully and a few steps faster than the guy he's replacing, but actually feels like it's his job to make a play.



Marizzy for PotG.

[Frayed Knot]

And after all that -- bad send, perfect throw by Gee-Or-May -- it was a pretty damn close play at home.

[dinosaur jesus]

He wasn't out by that much. I mean, he was clearly out, and it was a dumb play, but his hand was like three inches from the plate when McCann tagged him.

[Fman99]

BOOOOOOKS AGAIN

[bmfc1]

That game felt different than just another game in June.
