Somebody's gotta start the 9/18 IGT Phils @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

7:15 (or thereabouts) first pitch on FOX Network

Carlos Carrasco vs Aaron Nola



Mets & Giants doing their best to tighten up the NL East.

After Travis d'Arnaud hit a one-out 3R HR in the 9th to put the Braves up 5-4 Friday night, the Giants answered in the bottom half to send it to extras.

The Braves managed to go out 1-2-3 with the Magic Man on 2nd in both the 10th & the 11th innings (I would have though that only the NYM could pull that off).

Giants won it in bottom 11 when pitcher/pinch-hitter Kevin Gausman hit a Sac Fly for the win. Any self-respecting NYM hitter would have found a way to

hit into an easy GiDP in that situation.

Let's jump down to the field to check in with Shitfuck Bowtieovich

Wow, light on the chatter tonight. Third inning, Mets down 2-0 courtesy of Jean Segura, who hates us.

Another lame day in Met hell.

[Frayed Knot]

Judging by the size of the strike zone tonight, it appears that Eric Gregg has lost a lot of weight recently.

[Fman99]

Man, fuck Camping World, too, two ads behind the plate and they still have to litter the mound with their digital whorage.

[Fman99]

Also, here's Smoltz with the brilliant comment that the Mets "have to do something this inning." It's the 6th, so, technically, this is inaccurate.

[Frayed Knot]

Runner on 3rd, less than two outs, heart of the order

up .... we're doomed.

[Frayed Knot]

A questionable, almost to the point of panic, move by

GIrardi IMO (pulling Nola w/2 out,/one on)

[bmfc1]

On a team w/Bryce Harper it's hard to be the biggest asshole on the team but Alvarado has that honor.

[Frayed Knot]

In a nod to Cleon Jones, the umps were checking the ball for nail polish.

[bmfc1]

With the playoffs no longer a realistic possibility maybe they can start playing the guys they called up for the 40-man roster expansion...what? we have to watch these assholes for two more weeks!

Wow! Just wow! McCann, the big free agent haul the Mets were in such a hurry to sign is pinch hit for in the last of the 9th. He's looking every bit like the scrub he's been for his entire career except for last year.



The joke, as almost always, is on us.
