IGT, 9/6, NYM@PIT

[Frayed Knot]

I detect a pulse in the patient

[Edgy MD]

So, I missed a few innings there. Has there been a report about Marte?

[Frayed Knot]

Two runs down is doable.

Four seemed like it wasn't.

[bmfc1]

That was Danielle again after the HR.

[Edgy MD]

Hopefully Pete takes that defensive play to the plate this inning.

[Edgy MD]

The dead stadium ain't gonna help much.

Tim Foli selling peanuts.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo's second time overthrowing the cutter-offer this evening.

[Edgy MD]

Michael Chavis is listed at 5'10" but he looks shorter.



Funny that he's a first and Godzilla is over there at short.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo breaks late on the flare and the Pirates are running away.

[Frayed Knot]

And now it's four again, which certainly looks undoable.

Met bats have been blanked in 25 of their last 28 innings - against two of the four worst pitching staffs in the NL.

Marte got hit in the hand and came out, as per Howie. I missed the first half of this game but it looks like a big ol monkey fuck to me

[bmfc1]

Jason Delay has as many hits as Lindor, McNeil, Alonso and Vogelbach COMBINED.

Wheels falling off, rolling into the roadside brush...

OK, I've seen enough.

[DocTee]

JD Davis has an OPS over 900 since being traded to SF. I'd rather we had acquired a BP arm for him, but boy we could use some of that offense these days.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves game is five pitches in and they already have two hits.

It took us, what, six innings to get that many tonight?



How many runs will Atlanta have before our game ends?

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo's homerun was lovely, but he may be the brokest guy in the lineup right now.



Swinging at the first pitch in the ninth, down six, after the previous two guys walked. What insanity is that?

[Fman99]

Well that's over. So yay

The answer was one prior to the final out, but now it's 3-0 and still batting.

Keep in mind we've scored four in the last three games combined.

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets appear to shot their load making a statement against the Dodgers. The offense apparently wore itself out in that series and has nothing left for the "weaker" teams.



The A' are putting up more a fight on the Mets behalf than are the Mets. The Braves lead 6-5 going to the home half (A's) of the 4th.

[Lefty Specialist]

Braves win, and it's now a flat-footed tie for first. This has a September 1969 Cubs feeling to it.

Feeling a bit worried about a 2007 feel, even being 10 and a half up in the WC standings…at least the Wild Card round is no longer a one game and done format!

To quote Private Hudson in Aliens:

Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!

Later

How's that August Magic Number Countdown decision looking now?

[Gwreck]

I regret nothing. Fangraphs playoff odds have Mets at 100% chance of making the postseason. For that to not happen requires something far different than what we've seen here (a minor stumble).



Mets are on pace for 100+ wins, which would be the second best season in team history.



Maybe it'll take longer than we'd like but I still think the Mets hold off Atlanta by virtue of the weaker schedule.

Yeah! From here, the Mets are going to run away with the division, sweep Atlanta in the playoffs for the pennant, and win the World Series in five, same as 1969.

There's another game today at 12:35. I'm kind of prohibited from starting the IGT, but if anyone wants to jump in, I'd be obliged to you.
