[Zvon]

That was in incredibly quick hook...but yea, Ike did touch him with his glove. Damn. Needed Ikes bat next inning.

Oh my, Tejeda throws it away. fuck me w/a 2by4

[Piggiestomatoes]

Sets us up for the big 3-run homer from Omar in the top of the 9th.

[Frayed Knot]

Is it even possible to get an error wrung up in this stadium?

[nymr83]

Yeah, but that's not what got him thrown out. Whatever he said following that must have been a doozy though.

[Piggiestomatoes]

I thought Cuzzi has sucked behind the plate tonight but that call at 1st was plain fucking ridiculous.

I think I saw at least two F bombs.

[Guest Kong76]

Ike's not an ump favorite, and you can't touch them ..
they're very sensitive haha

[Frayed Knot]

23 walks in 20 IPs !!
Geez, that's high even for Marmol.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's go Doodoo.

[Zvon]

Earn your pay Lucas!

[Frayed Knot]

Tying run or not, I think I prefer Q here instead of Ike.

or not

[Zvon]

Hairball will do it.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Fucking brutal.

[ashie62]

I believe the worm is turning this season.

[Zvon]

ugh. weak swing ends it. Your right Gary C, the Mets just fumbled away two games. Gotta beat these lesser teams. No excuse for not takin 2 of 3 here.

Or the stretch of the trampoline about to launch them upward.

Even if it is...

The alternative was a team that would have been out of it since day one of the season. And I know we have been teased by Met teams alot in the past, but I'm okay with that if that's how it ends up. Cause this season has been fun, interesting, exciting at times, and we got that no-no and that alone would have made my year.

Wow! This needs a whole new thread!
Love ya Z, but satisfied through the end of June?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Side note: Manny Gonzalez is working home plate tomorrow. Good day to sit young Isaac?

Mets: tag opposing runner out but runner is called safe; Met ejected protesting wrong call.
MFY: opposing batter is called out when MFY falls into stands, touches but does not catch ball; ump assumes catch as he does not even ask MFY to show him the ball when he gets up.

I know it's possible that there's confirmation bias here in that we notice these things because we want to notice them, but it's always felt like the breaks the Yankees get are like that, and often game changing, and they never even out.

My main problem with this thinking is that in baseball more than some other sports this just doesn't hold up. Gee goes out and pitches five innings , hard to beat up on "lesser teams" with that and with playing shoddy baseball.

In my mind Mets at Cubs usually goes like this.

right. you just 'gotta beat' enough teams to get into the playoffs. especially when they aren't division teams. The Mets need to rebound and still have a winning road trip, and it's all mostly forgotten.
