IGT July 29 Mets @ Nats Gm 1

[Fman99]

Dillon Gee (thang) vs. Chien Mien Wang. May the force be with me/us/the Mets.

[bmfc1]

I will be sitting with my younger son in 115, AA.

[Gwreck]

Nice seats!

I had really hoped to make it to DC for this series but alas, it's not in the cards. Go Mets!

wang not looking so good.

[TransMonk]

I arrive 15 minutes late to the opening pitch and we're already up 4-0?

Always thoughtful to let Alcoholics Anonymous know where Mets fans will be lest an early lead get away.

The Wanger didn't have it.

Wanger doesn't rhyme with Danger, but maybe it should.

[Guest attgig]

the wang looks a lot better after the first.

[TransMonk]

Gee looks just as good.

[G-Fafif]

Gee vs Wang a very Twitter-friendly matchup.

[TransMonk]

Two tack-ons even after Bay gets thrown out at the plate.

Nice toss by Ankiel, though.

[TransMonk]

One of the MLB.TV commercials during the games lately is for Maybelline makeup. Seems like a bizarre demographic.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Gee not really throwing with the same authority as he did earlier in the season. Hard hot shot to Pagan and he gets out of the 6th. Something tells me he'll see the bottom of the 7th with his jacket on -- even in the heat.

[TransMonk]

On edit: Nope. And he plunks Cora to lead off the inning.

Just got in from two days of camping/following along with the Wayne Hagin Medicine Show, when geography/weather allowed. Sweet stuff so far.

I like that even most of our outs have been loud tonight.

THANK you.

Bets in for the 8th?

He's out there, at least for the moment. But yeah -- I can almost conceive of us making a run here but falling short not because of offense but of pitching depth. The weekend series with Florida pretty much told you that.

too f'ing funny!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Big out from Iggy Rashy there.

[Fman99]

Is Bay allowed to hit doubles? I thought there was something in the bylaws about him sucking out loud at every moment while holding pine.

In other news Pence to Philly

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

TROW DA SLIDAH, BOBBY!

[Fman99]

Enough Parnell for me. Give him the hook Skipper.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Getting hairy here, tying run batting.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Carrasco?!?

Ahh!

[TransMonk]

Go ahead run batting.

Bloop. Bloop. Bloop.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We don't quite have the bullpen trustworthiness ladder in a nice, stable order as yet, do we?
