IGT 5/21 — CLE@NYM, 5/21, Game Two

[Edgy MD]

YOUR over-.500 Metss try to extend their winning streak, sweep a good opponent, and hopefully win by more than one.



Not that I'm complaining.



This game also features yesterday's much-anticipated-but-aborted Justin/Bieber matchup.

I enjoy Cone doing Mets games , just not the rest of the ESPN crew.

[TransMonk]

Not a fan of black jersey Sunday nights. I'll be glad to see the camo go, too.

Spilt screen with McNeil, it's as awful as one would imagine

[Frayed Knot]

But they have to split the screen because if we can't see him we'd be unable to hear what he's saying ... or something like that.

Split screen #2

Currently my 42" screen has the picture of the game that I once had from my 13" portable I had as a teenager.

What's next, a return to black and white?

These hats are ugly

These hats are ugly

The combinations of Green Hats, Black Tops (with Blue Writing), and White Bottoms is REALLY ugly.



The design of the American Flag hats is very nice - but do it in White with a Blue 'NY' and wear the white Jerseys.



On Edit - here are the White Hats from 1997 - put the American Flag on these, wear these jerseys, Done.

[Edgy MD]

No way this game ends at 1-0.

[metirish]

I need to start a thread on awful Twitter takes ,this was right after Verlander gave up the HR

[metirish]

Lindor HR

[Edgy MD]

There 'tis.

[nymr83]

What is McNeil doing there?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We make too many outs on the bases

[Frayed Knot]

Bad play by Squirrel, worse one by ESPN

How typical of them to miss an ongoing play because they're too anxious to get to the reaction shot (of Alonso in this case).

That's ... something.

[Frayed Knot]

Not so sure I'd be pinch running here.

We might miss F.A.'s bat later on.

Yeah brutal. It's like they've never broadcast a baseball game before

Now I'm really against it.

We might me Alvarez's baserunning too. Marte was probably picked off again there but not conclusive on replay

There is aggressive base running, but when you take it too far, it becomes stupid base running.

[Edgy MD]

Biggest plate appearance of the game coming.

[The Hot Corner]

Lindor with the excuse me check swing single. Time for McNeil to make up for his stupid base running gaffe. That will do

Buck's right, I'm wrong as it turns out.

[The Hot Corner]

So who do you send out for the 9th?

D. Smith?



... but it's Brooks Raley, who suddenly looks like Brooks Robinson!!

[The Hot Corner]

It's Raley. Who makes a great defensive play to get the first out.
