Penultimate IGT - 9/26 Reds at Mets

[Frayed Knot]

Cordero's thrown one pitch over the plate this inning and twice as many as that to the backstop - and he still has an out.

[Frayed Knot]

Three batters, three walks, plus a balk ... and we're still not close to scoring.

[Guest Edgy DC]

For God's sake, don't swing.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

here we go

[Frayed Knot]

If Turner swings at the first pitch I want him cut immediately.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Maybe I'm harsh, but that walk might be the only thing Pridie's done well all season.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He hit a home run once.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

fuck me

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Good f'ing Lord.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I've been waiting to hear that.

[metsmarathon]

holy fuck. its endings like this that almost make me glad the season is coming to a close.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

In-freaking-credible.

[Frayed Knot]

Cordero faces five batters, retires one of them, and still doesn't allow a run.

On a liner, nonetheless.

Maybe we should have squeezed 'em back.

Just one more

Just saw the box score. Thayer, with the best WHIP and the second best ERA (to Acosta) in the bullpen takes the loss.
Ain't no justice.

Happens when you surrender triples in extra innings

My last game of the year. If this was the last game seeing Reyes in a Mets uniform, it was a hell of a way for Jose to go out. Just about everything you could want from the Jose Reyes experience:

-Exciting extra-base hits...check
-Stolen base...check
-Antagonizing the pitcher on the bases...check
-Highlight-reel defensive play...check
-A little extra panache (the curtain-call)...Check!

Lots of love for Jose from the crowd tonight too. You could almost see him gain confidence and play better when there were spontaneous Jose-Jose-Jose chants going.

As for the rest of the game? I suppose, given the season, that one final kick to the gonads was in order. Still can't really believe what happened. The scoreboard even put up the "Mets Win!!" graphic for about 5-10 seconds.
