IGT 10/8 Pads @ Mets WC Gm 2: Unfuck Your Postseason

[Centerfield]

Let's score 20 here.

[Edgy MD]

I'd really like to use this next half inning to move this game from Adam Ottavino territory to Drew Smith territory.



Actually, I'd like to move it to Tommy Hunter territory, but I'll work with what I can get.

Glad this Wilson feller wasn't pitching earlier.

[Lefty Specialist]

Fasten your seatbelts......

[Fman99]

One down, two to go.



Phillies, meanwhile, three outs away from ending the Cardinals' season. I'm rooting for that only because it would then push tomorrow's Mets game to the later 7-8-ish start, which I prefer.

[Edgy MD]

Now let's just get to that game.

[Willets Point]

Otto's getting wild.

[Willets Point]

I don't like this.

[Edgy MD]

Otto's overthrowing. Calm that man down.

[Fman99]

Sheesh. OK, tasted my own bile there for a minute.

[Lefty Specialist]

2 down......

[Willets Point]

This is what happens when you bring in a guy who pitched for the Yankees in 1920.

[Edgy MD]

Shots outside of peeps leaving Citi Field. WHUT??

[Willets Point]

Please end this game.

[Edgy MD]

Well, now we have a save situation. Glub.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Um, Otto. What the hell?

[Lefty Specialist]

Omigod, this is not good.

[nymr83]

absolutely brutal by Ottavino, doesnt even make the padres put the bat on the ball

[whippoorwill]

And he started out so strong

[Fman99]

I am dying a thousand tiny deaths every second here.

[Edgy MD]

John Stearns, in this moment, I call on you.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Phew.

[Lefty Specialist]

Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria!

[Willets Point]

They win the damn thing!

[Methead]

see y'all tomorrow!

[Edgy MD]

Thank you, John Stearns. Thank you Tug McGraw.

[metsmarathon]

Well. That was stressful

[ashie62]

That was awesome

[Lefty Specialist]

They better score 9 runs in the first and Bassitt better pitch a no-hitter because I don't think I can take another game like that.

[Edgy MD]

It was amazin'.



It wasn't something I felt comfortable thinking about, but not only was the end of the season on the line, but there was a meaningful chance that it was deGrom's last game as a Met.
