IGT - Nats @ Mets - 9/15 - Gay Dame

[Frayed Knot]

Beato's afternoon: single, force-out, double, IW, single, force-out, double


We're now into, 'oh well we'll get a better draft pick next June' territory

[bmfc1]

Terry talked for months about how much this team cared. Well after Beltran was traded, that all went away. They're a bunch of minor leaguers. And where's Sandy these days? Any thoughts from the top?

And a special "F you" on behalf of us Mets fans in the DC area.

[bmfc1]

FK: "And now Pagan watches a ball drop at his feet for a double - one batter after Tejada bobbles a sure GiDP and only gets one out."

Add that to the pickoff--quite a day for Pagan.

[Frayed Knot]

Bay's 2nd double of the game means the Mets are at least now out-hitting Ian Desmond for the day (5-4).

Oh, no point in talking now. But we'll probably hear a whole bunch just after the season. And expect some fun shakeups this offseason.

[bmfc1]

Howie is discussing the differences between winter and summer.

I hope you're right Ceetar about shakeups.

And nothing like following up a leadoff 2B with K-K-FO

It's not going to be "Haha, we got rid of Bay" type shakesups, atlhough I suppose they'll try. But there are probably 40man issues that will neccesitate trades to create flexibility. Guys like Murphy, Turner, , Tejada, Pagan, Pelfrey. (both of who will be tendered contracts. Doesn't mean they won't be traded though)

I'll take winter over summer. Hopefully Howie wasn't talking about the Islanders though.

Those of you holding tickets for '9th inning' in the: when will David Wright make his error contest, please advance to the window to claim your winnings.

I'm now worried about my over 77 bet that's seemed a pretty easy win up until about Sunday.

[bmfc1]

Wayne just talked about "our" first trip to the new stadium in Miami so I guess he'll be back.

Howie said "I don't know why anybody would take winter over summer."

Acosta: 6 base-runners (E, 2B, Sac Fly, 1B, 1B, 2B) on his first 10 pitches

Oh yeah, and Ian Desmond has re-caught the Mets in the hits race: 5-to-5

Very True, and oddly timing wise the Giants went into the tank when Beltran appeared.

It is a long quirky season folks.

Mets now looking up at the Nats in 3rd place.

[Lefty Specialist]

At least someone's happy they're mailing it in.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Can't we just talk about until they win or at least get a lead or something?

[G-Fafif]

Factoring in the literal gloom, the plunge in temperatures, the spitting rains, the caliber of opponent, the fact that I was there the night before to witness ninth-inning heartbreak and the length of the proceedings (plus the guy in the ATF cap and Army t-shirt who lectured the Mets for being a bunch of millionaires who are afraid of a little rain before he went off to ingest some alcohol, burn some tobacco and explode some firearms -- and another guy who explained loudly to all six of us in the Promenade that the Nationals would keep scoring because this way their agents would be able to get them more money), that may have been the worst Non-Collapse game i've ever been to. It was all I could do to not give Justin Turner six Schaefer points out of gratitude for ending it with a double play.

But nice to see themetfairy and dgwphotography before it all went to hell.

It's been a pretty humiliating homestand. The rookies should take the vets' clothing away.

Yesterday was the day they chose to haze the fans.

Saw a tweet that this four game sweep was the first by the Nats over the Mets since they were in Montreal , that 2003 season the Expos swept two four gamers from the Mets.
