[Zvon]

These belong here:

1)Wow. Young at second with the DP pivot thing he did there. I didn't even know he was playing 2nd. 2)HUGE SB CAPT! 3)UNFKINBLIEVABLE!!!!!!\HA! SOX SUCK!!!!!!1

Ugh, not a good time to do that Hawkman.

[Frayed Knot]

If you go for the DP here you have to KNOW you're going to make it.

[Zvon]

They get out of this I will be impressed.

[Zvon]

Wow. Big pop up. 2 out. Bear down Hawkman! Get out of it!

[Edgy MD]

Purty big popout, impressing Zvon and all.

Now let's get out of it.

How come Hawkins is in there and not Parnell?

The old 'save the closer for the save opportunity that never happens' theory.

It's against Federal law to use a closer without a lead. You should know that by now.

[Zvon]

There's two sides to that coin and this side is burning Terry pretty bad.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm surprised that's Hawkins' first loss of the year.

I'm conjuring the sound but not the smell. What did you have for lunch?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Vegetable udon with side orders of edamame and Wasted Rally.

Wasted rally? I thought it smelled familiar.

[Edgy MD]

A key step in that recipe: Leave your best reliever simmering separately. Add never.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Shame we lost this one. Really came down to dumb stuff like the stolen bases and wild pitch against Wheeler.

WE know by now Terry isn't going to go with Bobby Pee tied on the road. That said, gutsy job by Terry/Hawkins to get the guy to pop up, I really thought they bullied their way through that mess together. Oh well.

White Sox aren't very good, looks to me. I mean, Sale was some kind of awesome skinny dude, but geez, the rest of them aren't anything.

[metirish]

Yeah Sox look as bad as the Mets......similar record.

I thought it was very interesting in the early goings to hear Ron and Gary talk about how Wheeler was pitching very differently in this game then in his debut. Ron ripped it, all the off-speed stuff Wheeler was throwing, why change what was successful?makes no sense he said and it did Wheeler a disservice .....Gary then jumped in with " they did the same thing to Harvey last year".

So, that comes from the front office or is Wharten thinking for himself?

Assuming it is true btw.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

They've got Sale and Rios and not much else but some vague future "promise." We've got Harv and Wright and the same remainder.

We have met the enemy, and he is us, with worse ballpark food.

New Holland Mad Hatter
Bell's Oberon
Great Lakes
Half Acre
Blitz-Weinhard Brewing Co.
Rogue Dead Guy
New Glarus


and probably others. They've got us in beer.

[metirish]

But they don't have us in sophistication, because we are New Yorkers.....

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Exactly. Do they have us in chardonnay, Mr. Hops-and-Malt? In malbec?

I don't have (or know of) an app that allows you to check in which wines you drink, so I have no idea.

Citi Field has stepped up it's wine game though.

[Edgy MD]

Game. Set. Match.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Lots of people drop popups. Not many execute an open-field tackle on a teammate while doing so. Gotta give this one to the Sox.

[Vic Sage]

looks like sanchez falling into Moore's ass.

2013 Mets vs. Chris Sale (8 IP): 13 K
Nellie Fox vs. 1959 AL (156 G): 13 K

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nellie Fox had the luxury of never having to face Chris Sale!
