Dickey scrapes through another Phillie threat. Meanwhile, a baby falls asleep in my arm. Is it bad mojo to move her?

Thole already being mocked by Deadspin:

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Did everyone else fall asleep too?

The Phillies keep getting baserunners and the Phillies keep phailing to score. I hope this continues for one more inning.

[Fman99]

Sure seems quiet in Philly. Good times.

I miss the old days at the Vet when there would be a good Lets Go Mets chant going 'round right now.

[Fman99]

Rollins turns two outs into zero. That's a net loss, kids, for you diehard Phillie fans out there.

[ashie62]

Fast game also.

[nymr83]

From the NYM Pessimist Department: The Mets really failed to capitalize there, let's hope they don't need those insurance runs they left on base.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Mets load the bases with no outs and only squeak across one run. Still, more than enough to win this thing.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Oh fuck...

[Fman99]

Yeesh.

[Edgy MD]

Daniel Murphy doing a perfectly cromulent Wright imitation with the ninth-inning yips.

[Gwreck]

--> Books!

[Fman99]

Glad to see that Muffie's muff didn't cost them a ball game the way that some former Mets 2B 2 out, 9th inning gaffe might.

Put it in the books by the way.

[Edgy MD]

Yup.

Looking good, Mets.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Whew! That's the type of ninth-inning that the 2007-2008 Phillies would have made the Mets pay for.

I don't recall Wright doing anything THAT bad.

And what's that for Murph now; at least two real clunkers on easy grounders plus three, maybe four, missed DPs?

Fast game also.

Was REAL fast until both the top & bottom of the 9th slowed things up.
Much more enjoyable than the Nats series where each game was 3-1/2 hours.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pretty solid effort from the Mets despite it all.

Tell ya what, neither Philly nor Atlanta looks all that friggin great so far, and maybe if we also didn;t suck Washington would be awfully beatable too.

I'm declaring the East a 5-team Scramble.

[Edgy MD]

I agree, but Phillie hasn't thrown one of their three aces out there at us yet. What we need to do is show we can do well against some of the division's top pitchers. Be nice to get our lefty mashers mashing a bit, too.

[TransMonk]

Things I disliked:
Thole's baserunning.
Murphy's wickets.
The mention of Rollin's 2007 MVP Award.

Things I liked:
The blue.
Dickey.
The time and pace of the game.
Bay's Blast.
Winning.

[MFS62]

This was a bad night for Philly teams that played against teams that have nicknames ending with "ets".

Wait, Lee isn't one of the Phillies' three aces?

[Frayed Knot]

'Nother great pitching outing for the Nats - Jordan Zimmermann this time.
Currently tied 1-1 with the Reds in the 13th on ... Friday the 13th.


Braves in a wild one with the Brewers. 10-8 Braves in the 8th.

[Frayed Knot]

Nats win in 13th on (say it with me folks) an infield single, two walks, and a single through the drawn-in infield.

not if he keeps facing the Mets!

[ashie62]

No IGT as of yet for today but Wright is in the lineup 4/14

No, definitely Blanton.

You're just funning with me.
