Dickey passes Kershaw for the league lead in K's (218 - 211) but drops behind Kershaw in the ERA race (2.68 - 2.72).

And is now the pitcher of record on the long side to be tied for the league lead in Wins. Thank you, Sugarpants.

[Edgy MD]

I want to hold him.

Classic Sugarloving homer there to right center.

[ashie62]

One of the highlights of the season for sure.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Spirited. These boys should have a pitcher behind them going for #20 every game.

[Lefty Specialist]

In play, run(s).

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

10 Ks for Really Advertising.

The race is close enough that a "signature" big-K game-- say, 14-15-- might prove quite the PR finishing kick, no?

[Edgy MD]

I just ripped out my UCL as an act of solidarity.

[Edgy MD]

Eleven strikeouts and an ERA back under 2.70.

[Edgy MD]

Unfortunately, with 111 pitches gone, that's probably it for him with two innings to go and a three-run lead to protectorate.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Terry has him on a 211-pitch count today.

[batmagadanleadoff]

It's a good thing that Dickey stretched out his K total because Kershaw likely has two more starts to RA's one.

[batmagadanleadoff]

And Dickey takes his turn at bat. Not that Terry isn't capable of relieving RA to start the 8th, just the same.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Dickey batting?

What with the back thing, Kershaw may not take another one start, no?

[Edgy MD]

And R.A., I suspect, may get a bonus relief outing at the end.

[ashie62]

Show Dickey the Love..

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Holy shit, he's throwing a circle-change now, to boot.

And the Mets last 20 game winner, Viola, was a master of the circle change.

[bmfc1]

It's not said very often of late: "it would be awesome to be at Citi Field." Today is one of those days.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dickey comes out. 7.2 IP

Watch Terry swap out Rauch after 1 pitch.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

We need six more outs or a downpour of Gilgameshian proportions.

[Edgy MD]

Barajas sends it to the fence, to the fence.
