No joy in Pittsburgh as Metsies leave 'em loaded in the top o' the first..



Maybe I'll go out and dry the grass.

[ashie62]

Things were fine until Gary Thorne showed up.

[ashie62]

walker is struggling, again.



29 pitches in the first, and counting.

[Edgy MD]

The Gary Thorne factor is certainly a thing that passed through my head.



Keith's favorite part of analysis is deep-diving explorations of official scorer's decisions.

[ashie62]

Oh dear God. arguing confusion and Rojas is restrained

[ashie62]

Mets players arguing while the Pirates run the bases.

[Edgy MD]

Is this rock bottom?



Is this David Cone Day?

[TransMonk]

Well, my Sunday afternoon suddenly opened up.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

yup

[ashie62]

6-0. Walker is done.

[Edgy MD]

Stick around, folks. The Jauss Effect is about to kick in.

[Edgy MD]

Mets have it closed to 6-1 with two on and no out in the fourth.



Villar would be home by now if he had hustled out of the box on his pop single.

[Edgy MD]

NO MATTER.



FIRST CAREER HOMER BY BLANKENHORN CUTS IT TO 6-4.

[ashie62]

We have a game Mr. Blankenhorn.

[ashie62]

All hail Jauss!

Maybe it's not nice to pile on given that it's been a tough weekend, but Howie is out this weekend and Ed Coleman is on.



And Ed Coleman is not a good play-by-play announcer. Almost makes me long for the return of Wayne Hagin.

[Edgy MD]

KEWL. They pull Brubaker in the fourth to bring in a righty to face Davis.



Davis walks and now that righy has to face Smitty and Conforto.

[Edgy MD]

Not quite, ... but STAY TOONED!

Yeah I can't follow the action with Ed, and instead watching the pictures, putting together what's happening before Gary T can figure out how to describe it to me.



"That's... uh... . and ... uh, caught... "

[Edgy MD]

The Aaron Loup Game.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of missed opps this afternoon. Going to the eighth still needing one.



Top of the order. McCann and Peraza available on the bench.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Have Pete steal. They'll never expect it!

[Edgy MD]

Or strike out Davis with high cheese, which they totally expect.

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong![/bIGPURPLE]

[Edgy MD]

"And that's ... in there."



— Poor Gary Thorne calling that homer
