The Reds have found six. For the Mets six is still elusive.

[Frayed Knot]

Yes, but only I started a new thread about it.


We have a Philip Humber sighting.

Gotta go, so I'm going to miss the Mets comeback from 7 runs down.

[Frayed Knot]

And Humber no longer has a 0.00 ML ERA

[metirish]

Is game day banjaxed or is Shearn really three hitting the Mets?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Shearn left after six.

Let's get on the board against these Charlie Puleo-wannabes NOW!!!!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Way to phone it in, losers.

[Frayed Knot]

Turns out we were looking for six in all the wrong places.




5-2 Philly in the 6th, but Atlanta has 2-on w/none out.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Braves have to settle for two runs in the sixth.

John Maine, by the way, is frittering away his chance to be the Schaefer Mets Pitcher of the Year.

He once had a pretty healthy lead and now he's dropped (as of the last tally) into third place.

[Frayed Knot]

Atlanta not going away quietly; 8-5 in the 8th, bags loaded and 1 out.
And it is, y'know, the Philly bullpen. Myers already in.

[bmfc1]

Delgado out 7 to 10 days.

Sorry, I didn't see the thread on this subject.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves: 2-out, bases loaded, 9th inning, 3R double

Phils Lose, Phils lose.

[metsmarathon]

atlanta wins, 9-8.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yay!

At this point in the season any day in which the magic number drops is a good day, even if the Mets get humiliated by the pathetic Cincinnati Reds.

[Guest holychicken]

I can't believe philly blew it. Beautiful.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Somebody hand me a tomahawk! Quickly!

[Centerfield]

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

Willie hasn't quite figured out the number one necessity for a leadoff hitter. Willie, here's a hint. It's not speed.

Huhwhatwho

[Frayed Knot]

I saw the highlights of that Philly/Atl game and it was fargin ridiculous.
Braves scored 4 in the 8th then 3 in the 9th and hit maybe 2 balls hard the entire time. And the 3 in the 9th were after 2 out and none on.
In all there were at least 5 infield hits, plus several bloops just over the infield, plus a bunch of walks courtesy of the Philly pen. The game-winning hit was a solid shot but even that was just off the tip of the RF's glove.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Haven't watched any sports news since listening to some of the game at
work, I woulda went to sleep thinking Phillies won. I echo a YAY!

Ill have to watch that Phils game-it will be replayed here in a bit.

I wisked over those spoilers, tho did see that final score.
Still should be interesting.

I am starting to feel worried about Maine.
I also think he should be rested a bit at this point, but kept sharp.

It would be such a waste if he was not given a chance (or able) to pitch in ..........hmmm,dont wanna take anything for granted or jinx........
what Ill call some of the more meaningful games next month.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Watching the highlights of the Braves comeback victory over the Phillies did make me feel a little better about the events of the day.

The Mets get some much needed and well earned rest before the Mets host the Astros.
