IGT 6/16/2012 CIN @ NYM: Turn Some Pages

I believe it's time for this losing streak to fly.

Was this your photo? Were you in the group of people who got to stand stage-side?

PS, the guitar player's longhair-highlighted-combover-and-black-eyebrow thing was nothing less than creepy. But that bass player's hair was fabiotastic.

[G-Fafif]

Grabbed photo from @Mets Twitter feed. We stayed in 509, moving a few rows up to take in the grandeur of the Wagon, which meant watching the big screen.

A few too many "NEW YORK CITY!"s for my taste and not enough (that is no) "Keep The Fire Burnin'" but for a band from the Midwest that peaked 30+ years ago, well done, I thought.

Here's my vantage point. Grey hair guy and blonde wife were sucking face at one point. Stay tuned for the surprise at 0:52.

I was pulling out of the parking lot onto 126th by the time Freese swung at the third strike in the no-hitter 9th inning recap they did. Concerts not really my thing. Did snap this photo during the 4th inning though, of them behind Citi.

Justin Turner en route from Buffalo to Queens and will be activated if/when the expected move of Jason Bay to the DL happens.

[Lefty Specialist]

That was an REO Crapwagon inning. 1st/3rd, no outs, you gotta score there.

I blame Fox.

[Zvon]

What I miss?
Ahhh, Jay Bruce.
Was hoping for a lil more from Niese tonight.
Time to wake up the bats!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Is that haiku?

Ive been accused of talking in verse before.
I can't help myself. I just have this rhythm thing.

[Lefty Specialist]

Niese was not stellar.
Mets let Bailey off the hook.
Another bad game.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Byrdak strikes out Bruce
After giving up two hits
Then he gets the hook

[Fman99]

Jay Bruce is a dick
Ruins my Saturday night Mets
game with that swing

[Guest themetfairy]

I love it when our bullpen strands inherited runners.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

It seems like someone with a name like Homer Bailey should be surrendering a lot of longballs. Get to work on that Mets.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Seaver's former team
Is behind and is ahead
La la la la la

[Zvon]

Oh Homer Bailey
What a silly name to have
Time to knock you out

Yep, kudos there to Batista for the yeoman's work.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

David says "I think
Freddy should have moved the fence
In fifteen feet more"

[Fman99]

Hey there Homer B
Feel free to die in a fire
Fucking up my day

[Zvon]

Damn did Homer break
A few bats in that inning
or does Fox sound suck?

[Lefty Specialist]

These Fox announcers
Make me want to crush Rupert
Murdoch's testicles.

[Fman99]

They are the height of boobish hackery.

[Zvon]

[ashie62]

The Mets came back from Tampa without a day off and run into a very good Reds team. I am not shocked.

[Zvon]

Another blah game
Blah blah blah blah blah blablah
Bibbityboo blah

[Zvon]

I was amazed and very happy seeing Turner on deck there before the last out. Having seen him twist his ankle I thought we lost him for much longer. It looked real BAAAAD. Nice to have him back.

[Fman99]

That sucked.

That was a surprise!
