Bring it on, Friars! IGT 8/17/26, Padres @ Mets

[Centerfield]

Who closes tonight?  You figure Senga is unavailable. 

[ashie62]

Score a run guys

[Edgy MD]

PInch-hitting for PaulAnka here would be a great time for the Mets to launch the Morel Missile. 

[Edgy MD]

Or, just let Jorge go golfing.  That's good too.

[ashie62]

Jorge Polanco, never a doubt

[Frayed Knot]

Mighty blow by Pol.anco!!

[Edgy MD]

Strange how Green likes to deploy Pache as a sub for the trailing runner.

Duarte warming

[ashie62]

Disappointing at bat by Alvarez 

[Edgy MD]

Get out all your Duarte stuff.

[Centerfield]

Ewing looks lost.

He also has a line single and a line out (3) tonight ... so at worst he's only occasionally lost.

[Edgy MD]

I wasn't sure that Duarte had an out-pitch to throw there, but that drop — whatever it was — was impressive.

[Edgy MD]

Rengifo should not be up here, but the Pads don't really have a bench.

[ashie62]

BOOKS!!!

[Edgy MD]

Daniel.

My brother.

[Centerfield]

WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THESE CLOSERS

[ashie62]

Imagine Soto added to this current group

[Frayed Knot]

Weird game. But three outfield assists and three near perfect (1 H, 1 BB) innings from the pen.

[Edgy MD]

The Nats had the night off, so the Mets pull within three games of that sweet, sweet fourth-place plateau.

Twelfth place league-wide, too.  IT'S RIGHT THERE FOR THE TAKING!

OE: And hey, in the bigger picture, if you're there, it's these Padres holding onto that last Wild Card spot, so the Mets knock of a game there, and pull within 10 in the race.
