IGT, 9/17, PHI@NYM

[Edgy MD]

Wheeler Dealer goes for the Phillies, and the Mets counter with TieOneOn.



Mets will have to get the early lead to keep the boobirds from owning the room after that St. Louis crumble, and getting the early lead will be a tall order.

[kcmets]

Needs more cowbell.

[kcmets]

And the date is wrong, the game is tomorrow the 17th.

[Willets Point]

This pitching matchup always reminds me of the Goofy short "Motor Mania" where it's Mr. Walker vs. Mr. Wheeler.

[kcmets]

They'll probably find a way.

[ashie62]

Mets pretty much need to win all remaining games.



The would be an igt streak for the books.

[Frayed Knot]

While we are idle, the Braves were idled (rained out vs Rox).



The Phils, OTOH, cough up seven to the Cubs in the 3rd ... then come back with seven in their half of the 4th.

So it's 7-7, top 5 ... and I don't think it's ending anytime soon.

[kcmets]

Yeah, that's CBP crazy! I was going to post about the 7-sniffle thing and then

we ate and I turned it back on and it was 7-7.

[Frayed Knot]

15.- 8 Phils in the 7th

[Frayed Knot]

17 - 8 is your (3:58) final.

[ashie62]

I guess the Cubs went for two.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, so this series is more or less last-stand-ville.

I was thinking that even if we swept the Phils the result would be essentially to hand the division to the Braves.

But the Braves are in San Fran so they could conceivably lose a few between now and Sunday so a sweep here

plus a little damage by SFG and the entire division would tighten up considerably.



Of course it would help if they could get some starters past the 4th inning, not leave small armies stranded on bases, stop

running the bases like a bunch of drunks, hit a homer maybe with a man or two on occasionally, and, y'know, not suck.

[kcmets]

Nimmo supposedly back, not sure if in starting lineup.

I am watching. Despite, you know, everything. LGM

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Taijuan's ankle broke up the perfect game.

Now let's work on this no-hitter.

Done!

Now someone needs to take care of the shutout.

[Frayed Knot]

Is the Polar Burger made with ground seal?

Seems to me that it should be.

And now since I'm on a roll here, it's time for someone to crack our Grand Slam drought.

[Fman99]

Jeff McNeil sucks

[Edgy MD]

Credit to the fans. I was dead wrong about boobirds taking the house.

[Frayed Knot]

[ashie62]

Always tuff against Wheeler.

[Frayed Knot]

Fukkin' sum-bitch!!



If there's a perfect spot to hit it so as to guarantee an easy GiDP we manage to find it. The grounder to Goldschmidt the other day was the most recent example.

[Fman99]

Seth Lugo is the Jeff McNeil of pitchers.



Because, you know, he sucks.

[kcmets]

While we're at it, replay often sucks too.

[bmfc1]

The non-reversal costs a run.

[Frayed Knot]

They hit Sac Flies with bases loaded, we hit GiDPs

[Edgy MD]

Watching Joe Girardi fight is like watching a 1920s film.
