IGT #160 vs. Florida

[Guest Rotblatt]

Well, we still have 6 outs left, but after that last inning . . .

[Guest holychicken]

I can't believe the Mets aren't going to make the postseason.

Does it get any worse than this?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Mets are officially out of first place for the time being.

[TransMonk]

Great outing by Heilman.

You're prompting all sorts of horrible scenarios in my head, holychicken, including a shallow outfield collision involving Reyes, Wright & Beltran.

In other words, it can always get worse.

But I agree that our prospects are grim and getting grimmer.

No but it probably will get worse.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Just....stunned. Never thought it would really get to this.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Yup.

The lack of awareness in self-promotion by this team can be epic, sometimes.

No shit. I'm glad that Paulie wants to play, but it's Willie's job to step in and say, "Hey, dude, you can't throw and you can't swing--you're out."

Preferably BEFORE giving up one of our precious outs.

If Paulie wants to throw a temper tantrum, well, Willie should be man enough to handle it.

That was the dumbest at bat I've seen all year.

[Frayed Knot]

Pop-Up, Pop-Up, Pop-Up... and Reyes wasn't even one of the hitters.
The lack of timely hits is just stunning.

[metirish]

I feel sick and it's not form the Popeye's Chicken.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Keith shocked at how much the Mets have been taking lately, compared to earlier in the year.

Edgy pointing out a correlation to how much the Mets have been behind lately, compared to earlier in the year.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Score now. Please.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Well, we got three outs to get at least three runs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

There's still a crowd pulling for them there, God bless them.

[metirish]

Come On you fucking Mets........

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Jose jose jose jose

He doesn't K

He doesn't K

[Guest Edgy DC]

Word.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Got to take a strike, Luis.

[Frayed Knot]

Reyes's only hit corresponds with Castillo's only out -- story of the month.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Oh well.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Peace, brothers.

[metirish]

Padres are winning 6 - 3 in the 8th, so if they win we will be two games back in the WC.......

[Guest Rotblatt]

Man, I'm going to tomorrow's game, and I don't think I could possibly be less excited about it.

U-G-L-Y, that's what we are right now.

Two days to right the ship, for pride if not for a playoff berth.

[metirish]

If the Padres win Rott then we are looking for the Nats to help and us to win the last two.

[metsmarathon]

blurg.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Watching the post-game ... reminded that Perez freakin' nailed three guys.

I'll be there, right on the Marlin dugout. Hoping like hell that its not my last trip to Shea this fall.
