IGT 7/24/2012 Nats @ Mets: Momentum, next day's starter.

[Zvon]

Dickeys done after 6. No chance for a win. BOOOOO! It was what I was rootin for tonight. I was hoping for that and a 5fer5 night for Wright.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe we can get those runs back with a long shot from Dud.... SHIT!

Oh, look, Manny Acosta!

[Frayed Knot]

Until about 2-3 weeks ago I would have felt reasonably confident of the bats fighting back to make this a game and maybe even tie it or go ahead*. Not anymore.





* Only to have the pen blow it later of course but at least it would be interesting for a while

Are you really surprised at this point? You are watching a last place, or soon to be, team.

[Edgy MD]

Manny Acosta ERA meter.

Opening: 11.86
Popout by Lombardozzi: 11.69

[Edgy MD]

Bryce Harper lines out: 11.51.

Not in my current gear. In this mode I can only be surprised at positive things.

[Edgy MD]

A hit by Zimmerman and a groundout by Morse: 11.35.

Suck it, Orber Moreno!

[Edgy MD]

Trying to match the Nats with a two-out rally here.

[Edgy MD]

And... that doesn't work out.

He's ruining his trade deadline value.

[Edgy MD]

That's five, Jordany!

[Frayed Knot]

That dude's a freak!

I'm still not sure how good he is, but he's a definite freak.

WOW! 5th pinch hit K for Valde, and....


NEW MET RECORD!

[bmfc1]

How about playing JV every day to see if there's something there for '13?

[Zvon]

Nice throw Josh. And nice play Ike.

[Frayed Knot]

Figures that tonight's the night we get near-flawless relief pitching.

[Edgy MD]

The bullpen and defense sure knows how to get it done when we're trailing.

[Edgy MD]

They thought, If only Jason could but get a whack at that.
They'd put up even money, now, if Bay was at the bat

[Edgy MD]

Well, that was... neat.

[Zvon]

Since the return from the A.S. break this has been a nightmare. Somebody wake me. Even in my worst dreams I could not have imagined a shittier run at a more crucial time.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Don't kid yourself, we were playing like crap before the break too.

But I had hope. As of today, I can't say I do. Still have that prayer though.

before the all-star break was a minor skid where they lost more than they won. easy to bounce back from. with a couple of series wins. Barring an Oakland like run here, this is ..dismal.

and the nachos I had were crap.

Met Steve Rogers though. Probably the highlight of the night.

wait, check that, highlight was probably watching the model model the Mets gear that company designed.

Whoa, there, Z...you were around in September 2007, right? This run doesn't even come close.

This was always going to be a year to rebuild. It sucks to lose, but 47-50 is still a lot better than I would have expected at this point in the season.

Somebody get that chick a chesseburger.

There were two two-strike pitches to Morse in that sixth-- one at the knees, one at his eyes but check-swung-through-- that could've (should've?) made for the punchout, and third out. Alas, they were called "ball" and "check swing" respectively, and, well...
