IGT Sun 6/1 1:40 PM Rox @ Mets

[Fman99]

Clay Holmes and the Mets look to complete the sweep. I am optimistic.

[ashie62]

This should be a walk in the park

[Edgy MD]

Please don't tell The Mets that.



Nothing is a walk in the park.

[ashie62]

They'll be fine. I have Kahnfidence!!

[Centerfield]

Baty in the lineup against a lefty. I support this.

[Cowtipper]

The score should be 12-0 Mets by now.

[Edgy MD]

What we get is five whiffs in the first six batters.



You've got to temper those expectorations.

[Cowtipper]

And now it's 1-0 Rockies!



The Mets are on track to never score again!



(are we still doing that?)

[Edgy MD]

Those 4's on everybody's uniforms are wrong. The Yankees and MLB distribute merchandise with that thick font on the number, with the big, square serif on the bottom. The Lou that we are today called on to celebrate wore a 4 set in a thinner font with no serifs.

Please get these things right, baseball!

[Centerfield]

Really? One hit through the three? Come on Mets.

[Centerfield]

That works!

[kcmets]

Petey Polar BOOM!!!

[Edgy MD]

The call that the Rocks didn't get — the payoff pitch to Marte — may have been a strike and set up the three-run homer.



But they then got a called strike three against Baty that was definitely not a strike.

[Edgy MD]

Fireworks happening during the game.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, Gary ... NOW it's a 4-3 Mets lead!

[Edgy MD]

The reason Soto is the one you commit all your resources to is that, even when his shit isn't working, his slump-proof walk tool is still providing value.



That used to be true of Nimmo as well, and I hope it will be again.

[Edgy MD]

OK, a coupla things:

• Dracula is certainly not the only novel Bram Stoker wrote.



• Gone with the Wind ain't that great.

[Edgy MD]

Keith is conflating Bram Stoker with Mary Shelley, and Gary is conflating Dracula with Count von Count.

[ashie62]

I prefer Count Chocula and Frankenberry

[Edgy MD]

Clay Homey has pitched the longest game of his career.



A problem with being Luisangel Acuña is that teams don't have to have a scouting report on you. They just hear your name and assume that you are too fast to sleep on.

[ashie62]

Reed Garrett sure gets a lot of work

[Edgy MD]

He sure has a lot of composure.

[Frayed Knot]

Some insurance would be real nice here.

We can't count on Diaz to throw up zeroes forever.

See? All you have to do is ask nicely.

Good signs from Juan

[ashie62]

Diaz is a lock I tell ya tee hee

[Edgy MD]

Fun game — see if you can tell which one is Reed Garrett and which one is Vincent Van Gogh!
