IGT 6/7 @ WAS: Steady Diet of Chien-Ming

[Edgy MD]

All hopes rest on Duda. Don't tell him that, but it's true.

[G-Fafif]

Damn that Metro-ridin' knuckleballer's got it goin' on.

Only guy you can trust going into MFY series.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

As a total aside, who would've guessed after watching Game 2 of the 2000 NLCS that the only starter in that game who'd still be active in the big leagues in 2012 would be Rick Ankiel?

[Edgy MD]

And we just walked him to bring the tying run to the plate.

[Benjamin Grimm]

No harm, though. R.A. strikes out the next two. (He now has 8.)

79 pitches through 6 innings.

Extra day's rest for next start, so please give us 8 (or 9).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Big hit for Muffy there, wasn't sure he had it in him.

[Lefty Specialist]

Ike Caramba.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nice play by Q to get that force at third.

Two on, one out. Tying run still at the plate.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Grounder to Wright starts a 5-5-3 DP and they're out of the inning!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Retail Availability Dickey is really on a roll now. He should write a book about it!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Dickey batting for himself in the eighth. I always like to see that.

[Edgy MD]

I LUB to see that.

Nieuwhiffhuis gives me a lot to love, but he's on a pace to set a nieu Mets strikeout record.

[Benjamin Grimm]

101 pitches through 7 for Mr. Dickey.

[Benjamin Grimm]

X grounds to Q for the first out.

[Edgy MD]

And 18 points!

[Benjamin Grimm]

An infield single, and Dickey exits.

[Benjamin Grimm]

We need five outs from this bullpen of ours.

[Edgy MD]

[Lefty Specialist]

Less scary than the Mets bullpen.

Come on coach, they haven't even hit a flyout yet, don't pull him on that groundball single! One more batter!

I'm closing my eyes as the bullpen comes in.


Terry criticism- if you're going to pull a guy after he gets an easy groundball out and then a grounder for a single, you should have hit for him in the top of the 8th.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Parnell walks Ankiel, then gets the second out on a grounder to the pitcher.

Tying run still at the plate, first base open.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And Q gets a bang-bang play at first for the final out!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Attaboy, Bobby Pee.

Bite it, Harper.

He didn't hook him right away. He went to the mound and they talked it over for a bit. Have a feeling RAD didn't tell TC what he wanted to hear.

[Benjamin Grimm]

David gets a one-out triple down the line in right. Harper looks like he may be hurt.

I read this as DaviS gets a one out triple.

I guess it's wishful thinking.

INSURANCE RUNNER! Get him in!!!
