Well, with a matinee assclown game, we can go to sleep sad and disgusted

instead of waking up sad and disgusted.

Steve Cohen calls out offense as "unproductive.'

Thats the hedge fund Steve I know. I don't believe him to be a terribly patient guy.



In trading his idea of long term is 'settlement date."

[kcmets]

Biggest game in the history of his monarchy!

They keep trying, but failing, to hit into GiDPs

[Frayed Knot]

Eh, no matter, they succeeded into not scoring anyway.

Get men on base

Leave men on base

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Wayne lambastes JDD for not running to 1st on the dropped 3rd strike that ended the 1st.



Lazy-ass Mets getting what they deserve

[ashie62]

They have gotten in to the Giants bullpen.

[bmfc1]

Another day, another baserunner erased.

[that bet guy in commercial]

Get on first base

Get picked off first base

Maybe...score...a...run.....today.

Gary and Keith will be LIVE from Washington over Labor Day weekend!

But will the team be (a)live?

Down by 1, a seemingly insurmountable deficit.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, we have a HBP and a walk and a hit.

Only one hit of course, Pete's weak grounder against the shift where the exit velo might have cracked double-digits.



Other than that, three Giants pitchers have needed about 20 pitches to retire 12 batters. 11 actually thanks to the pickoff.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Wonder if Keith would dare say the Mets have "quit" cuz it sure looks like it.



This is dreadful 😪

[bmfc1]

Steve's tweet has really lit a fire under this team!

[Frayed Knot]

Well at least we followed up our lone solid hit of the game, a leadoff hit, with a pair of weak-ass grouders sandwiched around a medium-deep fly-out.

[Frayed Knot]

That GiDP might keep Megill in the game as it kept him at 90 pitches thru six instead of ... who knows how many if the inning kept going.

[MFS62]

I wonder why ANY free agent starting pitcher would want to sign with the Mets. (money being comparable, of course)

It must be frustrating as heck to watch your good efforts go down the drain.

I <3 Brandon Crawford, and if he's gonna fuck up a grounder, that's just a great omen.

[Frayed Knot]

It seems like most of our baserunners these days come via gifts: HBPs, Walks, errors, or just plays not made ... and we just continually give that edge back.

[ashie62]

There will be blood



I am almost giddy. They sucked last year and are arguably worse now.

[Frayed Knot]

It's a one-run game with two innings still remaining, and yet the loss feels all but certain.

[CROSSOUT]Four pitches, two outs.[/CROSSOUT]



Five pitches, three outs

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

1st and 3rd no outs -- prepare to lose
