Our third baseman is better than theirs, and our second baseman strikes out a lot less. Oh, and our backup catcher is dreamy. Their three catchers look look the guys on Duck Dynasty shaved.

Luvly 4-3-6 with Simmons running on a 3-2 pitch. No issue with Murphy's timing here - he quick-released a backhand flip that Robbie Alomar would have been happy with. Nice stretch by Ike on the back end as well.

[Zvon]

Ha! Uggla sucks.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Oh, and our second baseman - at least our current second baseman - can catch a routine pop-up.

[Zvon]

Thats bullshit. He dropped the ball before Duds bat hit his glove.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Not only do Mets batters fail with runners in scoring position, they prevent runners from advancing into scoring position in a multitude of ways.

[Zvon]

Ha! The ump sucks.

[ashie62]

The Duda & Davis show!!!! Coming to Vegas!!!

[Zvon]

Wright takes charge on the wind blown pop up to short left. Nice play but throws it away trying to double up Uggs. Man on 2nd, 2 out.

Is Duds useless? I know it was blown around but he was no where near that ball.

[Zvon]

The home plate ump is high.

[ashie62]

The Mets need to wear those unis on Merengue night...

[Frayed Knot]

Freeman now pissed at two of the four umps.
Maybe he will argue for the cycle before the night is out.

[Zvon]

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The Dude kabooms.

[Zvon]

A ripped liner that just made it into the stands. So he's still due for a real whollipinKaboomer.

[Zvon]

Mr. Ts hitting so soft. Everything off his bat is soft. Flys, liners,..how is this possible?

[Zvon]

Alls that tells me is that Harvey smelt a win.

[Zvon]

I gotta tip my cap to Marcum.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, it's a career performance, but some margin for error would really, really help.

(And Tejada allows a baserunner.)

[Frayed Knot]

Can anyone say: Turning Point?

[Zvon]

Ugh fuck. Well, we can't say that Marcum wasn't trying. He wanted that out bad. Then hangs one. Dagabbitt.

No way to see that one coming, eh?


Amazing how the small margin for error just magnifies each mistake one or more of which will eventually come back and bite them.
Murph getting picked off, Duda allowing a single to become a double, Tejada turning a ground out into a single, ...


And now we've turned this into a battle of bullpens and those rarely end well for us.

[Edgy MD]

They have a good pen.

But yeah, the domino effect that comes from the batting struggles seems to be a pig ugly pile. And Davis has been the big domino.

For Marcums night, Mr Ts lack of life on that grounder clinched it.
