He is going for his Metly win #37...

Though not in a row unfortunately...

Fred Lewis 4-for-10 lifetime vs. Wainwright. Clever of Terry to keep him out of the lineup.

[Frayed Knot]

AN RBI FOR THOLE!!
AN RBI FOR THOLE!!

THE METS GET AN RISP HIT!!

2-0 bases-loaded curve-balls are nice Wainwright, but you have to get your fast-ball over once in a while too.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

IKE!

[G-Fafif]

Somebody toss Wainwright a fork, a knife and a napkin because Ike says he can EAT IT!

[Frayed Knot]

Shelby Miller on to pitch.
This guy has been one of the top pitching prospects in baseball over the last few years but stumbled this year to become one of the more disappointing prospects.

Let's say we ruin his debut? And then we can make fun of him on account of his name being Shelby.

my wife had a spider named Shelby.

This looks to be going well. Ike smacks another, sweet. Phils won vs. the Reds today

[Edgy MD]

To heck with the Phils. They're toast. I wanted to catch the Cards.

Can we get a do-over on the first two games?

Nice job with a "The Jerk" reference.

We really screwed ourselves dropping the first game of this series. That's the one I want back.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Weird mound visit from Terry-- hopping out of the dugout just before RA starts his windup-- precedes a line-drive single from Jon Jay, which ends Dickey's day.

Ol' Lefty Death & Taxes-- inevitable Josh Edgin-- ends the inning with a strikeout.

[Guest themetfairy]

Words that may never have been spoken before - "Josh Thole has an infield single."

[Edgy MD]

Oh, shit, they got one back.

BULLPEN PROOF THIS SUCKER!

[Guest themetfairy]

And Torres' infield hit gets the run back that we lost last inning!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Looks like a good decision to give Sugartrousers the day off.

[Edgy MD]

If we were the Sox, our manager would have just gotten here 10 minutes ago.

[Zvon]

DON'T ALLOW ANY RUNS IN THE 9TH YOU BUMS!!
Do it for Dickey.

[Frayed Knot]

Aside from the fact that the Mets like last 9 outs have been Ks, they're doing OK here.

[Edgy MD]

Mitchell Boggs, Lance Lynn, Shelby Miller, and Adron Chambers --- four St. Louis Cardinals who sound like solid votes to repeal the capital gains tax.

I want to golf with those guys.

[Zvon]

Hmm. That was an interesting ending.

DICKEY WINS HIS 18th! YAY!

[G-Fafif]

These ninth innings have been quite appealing.

[Guest themetfairy]

Root beer for everyone!

Despite losing two of three, there was something kind of appealing about this series.

Last out on an appeal play when Chambers failed to touch second on his way back to first on the second out, a fly ball to right.
