IGT 09/15 - STL at NYM - You'll Thank Me in the Morning...

[Frayed Knot]

Another couple of mighty blows w/RiSP: weak pop, weak grounder, weak pop. And the runner itself was the result of a weak pop.

But we are the beneficiary of the charity of others so creep a bit closer.

[ashie62]

Tylord settled down nicely.



Only two Metly hits.

Don't get the anger. The intolerance of others who differ from you while you

bang the lib lib drum everyday. You're a mean person. At least here, you are.

[kcmets]

Typical, like a life-time politician. bbbyyy

[Frayed Knot]

I turned off the game for a bit (enough to watch JEOPARDY) right at the pitching change (1st & 3rd, none out) and came back fully expecting StL to be in double digits.

Sounds like a nice job by Castro

[Edgy MD]

It's not speed or movement with Lester, but he changes speeds and locates his pitches.

[Edgy MD]

I have no problem with giving a player a sacrifice if he's going for a hit as well. It isn't either/or, it's both/and.

[Frayed Knot]

More RiSP <2 out incompetance.

A player could bunt regularly with men on and be assured of never making an out.

[Edgy MD]

OK, everybody hop on Pillbox's back. He's carrying you home.

If he indeed always came up with men on base, always was successful, and always batted with less than two outs, sure.



Good for him.

[Frayed Knot]

I might need to check on this, but I believe the Mets last 43 HRs have all been solos.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Every relief pitcher eventually turns into a piece of shit, this is Lugos time, and you knew it was coming

[kcmets]

Cards lighting up the Mets.

[Frayed Knot]

Nootbaar sounds like a Scandanavian energy snack



First OO AA player since Kirk Saarloos

[Edgy MD]

Hopefully Diaz is also wearing 21 tonight.

[Edgy MD]

What a punch in the nootbar.

[Methead]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Frayed Knot]

We got Noot-Baarred



We also started the inning 3B - 1B - 1B then had 2-3-4 coming up ... and added bupkis.

[Edgy MD]

A liner up the middle snagged, an opposite-field drive to the warning track, and an opposite-field drive over the wall but not far enough.



It beats the strikeout followed by the GiDP, but shit.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Sorta rooting for Hembree to drill a guy

[Methead]

I can't find the words to describe this season.



I mean I suck at words anyway, but even so.

[Edgy MD]

It's kind of beside the point as the Cards' pull away, but what is Hembree doing cutting off outfield throws?



Back up the plate, man.

[Edgy MD]

I've got Cycle Fever.



And the only cure is more McNipple.

[Edgy MD]

Nocycle.

[Edgy MD]

A little late noise gives the Mets #21 on second, #21 on first, and #21 up at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

And that enz that.

[G-Fafif]

Seven-run loss, one-run loss, seven-run loss. So at least they're not all one-run losses.

[Frayed Knot]

And at least we held the Cards to a mere 41 hits over the series, 14 of which went for XB

[kcmets]

And at least the Braves lost, keeping the mathematically alive

nightmare a thing a few more days for those that observe.
