Yes, that's exactly what it was.

Josh Lewin:

It's the first time in the life of this guy (Strassburg) that he's not been the featured attraction... high school, college, the minors...

Not totally true.
Strasburg was rare for a 1st round draft pick (and especially a 1/1 pick) in that he wasn't even drafted out of HS.
Only after going to SD State did he make a commitment to get himself in shape and eventually blossomed into not only a top pick but probably one of the most ballyhooed picks of the last decade or more.

[Gwreck]

HUGE

[Edgy MD]

Harvelous.

[nymr83]

How many Met pitchers let themselves get distracted and rocked after the botched double play, but Harvey didn't even have the "mad at my teammates" facial expressions, he just bore down and got the job done.

[metirish]

USA chants go up at City

[Edgy MD]

That was Denard Span, Newtown Truther making that last out.

[Zvon]

I lost my internets during the 1st inning . And now it comes back on, and Harveys out. Thats all I wanted was to see him pitch tonight, and I was all excited about this matchup, lol. Life is so cruel sometimes. Kinda kool listening on the radio though. At least I could hear it.

[Frayed Knot]

And now those dreaded words: It's all up to the Met bullpen

He sounds better than most guys look.

Sucks, but welcome to my world.

[Frayed Knot]

Not sure I would have gone with Rice in this spot -- Werth leading off and Harper can pound LHPs as well as RH -- but the career minor leaguer gets the job done vs 2-3-4 in the order!!

And I'm so used to it that it pisses me off. My brother calls and we're talking and he asks "whats the name of the 2nd Craig Bond movie?" and I'm like " Lemme see, Casino Royale,....Skyfall, I don't recall. Lemme chk the internet.DOH!"


easy triple for the Capt.

Fairy had started one earlier. Better to merge than to have two and get confused.
It's also better to burn out than it is to rust.

[ashie62]

Didnt see hers, sorry!

[Edgy MD]

Twenty-first career Met triple for Wright, one behind Mazzilli for eleventh all-time.

Hey Zvon, do you have an original on this ol' avatar of mine? Looks like Ryan and Koos have lost some of their calves in my touchup work.

Hey, it's 6-1! (Or 3-1 if you're Ashie.)

[Frayed Knot]

Ike be Storin' Drew's pitch in the upper deck.

[Zvon]

[Frayed Knot]

There's a Walgreens Pharmacy ad right behind home plate (at the moment) and it's funny to see that "Curly W" juxtaposed with the Nationals logo.
It's like we're playing against Walgreens. No wonder we're winning.

Probably have it. Might still have it supported. I'll look around (my photobucket is a friggin mess-stuf I have posted here may disappear as I try and organize all that Met stuff).

That's 500 lbs of lefty hitters hitting four balls about 1,600 combined feet.

Let Rice finish the game. He earned it!

[Zvon]

Should be able to right click and save:

Muffie with the nice gloving.

[Guest Kong76]

He said Harvey was a funny name.
Oh, he did, did he?

[Edgy MD]

Thanks so much.

Wow, this is a heckuva game I'm not seeing.

[Gwreck]

--> Books!

[Zvon]

At least I caught a few innings. Good Game! Good Win! What a start for Harvey so far! This is amazin'.

Hey Ralph, Harvey looks like he's an even better first round Met draft pick than your friend Al Shirley
