WE got a game tonight dammit! - IGT Marlins @ Mets 8/1

[Frayed Knot]

Back home after a 6-4 road trip that was somewhat disappointing when you consider the competition and looking to get August off to a good start.

Vazquez v Pelfrey

This is the official one by 20 minutes.

We've been in the top of the third for about 15 minutes, thanks to the usual Pelfy laboring*/a string of two-out hits.

*OE: 28 pitches. Bully.

[Ceetar]

what, does no one watch baseball anymore?

This game has sudden 6 run outburst chasing Vazquez written all over it.

Granted you generally send Reyes always, but I was surprised they sent him with 1 out and Stanton and not a hard hit and all that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Objectively decent outing by Pelf, and my stomach's still uneasy after it all.

some errors made it worse, but i'll take QS every time..the offense is supposed to be awesome, not 'bleh, here's a home run or two' average. We're not the Phillies.

Between Sunday's GiDPs (2), caught stealings (2 more), Murphy's base-running gaffes and other assorted hi-jinks, and now Jose being nailed at the plate, we've been getting a lot of our base-runners erased lately.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Seems we have a pitcher here in Igarashi, huh?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Seems we have, like, nothing else tonight, huh?

[Ceetar]

We _could_ use more walk-offs..

*crosses fingers*

Pagan you fucking twat.....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Seemingly unnecessary double by Pagan buys the Mets one more out as Bay's limp grounder doesn't go for a game-ending DP.

Duda Duda.....Duda ties this fucker up

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Remember this.

[Frayed Knot]

And a HR by Hairston is pretty much a foregone conclusion, no?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Duda remembers that he's Beltran's replacement!

They'll hold him to first by thumping him!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Worked late and just turned the game on 10 minutes ago. Love that Manchild.

[Frayed Knot]

At least this game we've got the home-field advantage after tying it up ... that supposed to count for something.
Tied it up in the 9th yesterday and then never even got to extras.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How about Acosta? Two perfect with four whiffs.
