Sadly, it's a non-save situation with the score tied in the ninth. Thanks. Point was, he was up in warming during the bottom 8.

Oh, I know. I was disappointed the Mets hadn't gotten a lead in that time.

Amen to that.

Thanks to Murphy for making my wish come true.

Way to go, Young Daniel. Another happy recap!

METS WIN!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I love these guys.

Murphy was so jacked after making that great play that he had to get the winning hit.

[TransMonk]

That was a pretty great game. I like what I've seen from this team so far.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

SWEET! (Sorry Frank 2 for the lack of a save opportunity)

[Frayed Knot]

- I didn't mind Ruben bunting
- but then I kind of liked him trying the fake bunt thing too
- but then I did NOT want to see him bunting w/2 strikes
- but then I liked the outcome

Yeah, I was conflicted.

[Guest themetfairy]

I think I lost my voice as a result of this one.

Wow!

[Piggiestomatoes]

That's a real nice win. It's early and they're playing hard and smart. Finding it easy to root for this team.

Not sure we deserved to win that game -- got out-hit, so-so starting pitching, we got a couple of generous calls on the bases & at the plate -- but that's why it's nice that we did.

Nats got so-so starting pitching as well, played badly defensively, and stopped hitting after the third inning.

I was glad Collins let Kirk hit against the Meiskite* (that's "ugly one" in Yiddish) lefty. Even though he made an out, he hit a line drive, taking the pitch the other way.
He may have lost an inning, but he gave the kid confidence that he won't be automatically jerked out of there against lefties.
Then, he hit for him with Hairston later in the game.
Oh well ...

Later

* = pronounced MEE- iss- kite.

He's a jack-o'-lantern made by an inartistic hand out of a parsnip.

You could push his face into dough to make gorilla cookies.
