IGT, 8/10, Mets v. Padres (Who Needs Gloves?)

[metirish]

Graves of course gives up a hit and the score is 9 -1. DP ball ends the game, great night to be a Mets fan, will the Mets ever get a no hit game?,.

In the post game handshakes, Floyd and Wright kind of jumped sideways into each other, which I guess is what they were doing in the picture in the Caption This thread. Looks like Wright has made a friend, and isn't just a bellboy.

Also a hilarious shot of two Padres fans looking at Wright's homer with their mouths wide open and "holy shit" looks.

Nice to get a laugher and rest the pen. I think tomorrow is a BIG GAME.

Wright's homer after the misguided intentional walk to Floyd was a thing of beauty. Nice W.

Wasn't that the first time the Mets has won a game that Offerman had started?

Why not let Benson blow his own shutout, man?

My other thought last night was "They hit Reyes! You bastard!" I saw our wild card hopes slip away for a moment.

[Elster88]

Oh man, me too. I was sure his elbow was shattered.

I think he looks more like Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

And just to head off any panic about the elbow when we don't see Reyes in this afternoon's lineup, Willie was planning on resting him today anyway.
Gary on the radio last night noted that he looked sluggish and was barely running out a grounder (he's also about 1 for his last 15).
