NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

See, Zachary? Pitching five without incident or stress ain't a big thing, right?

[Frayed Knot]

Mejia looking gooooooood

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Six scoreless. Muy bien.

I'll have to agree. We got pitching!

[Zvon]

Recker wrecks the outfield wall for a lead off double in the 7th.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Lagares with a RBI single. 4-zip.

[Frayed Knot]

It's the Danny, Juan & Jenrry show: Starring ... Danny, Juan & Jenrry!!!

Even a real walk today, that's two in a couple days! maybe..?

[Zvon]

Nice. Lagares drives in Reck with a 2 out single up the middle. Knocks Zimm outta there.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's chew this bullpen up.

[Zvon]

Murph drives in another with a seeing eye single to center. Hellz yea! And we got two games today? I hope the same Met team shows up tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Murphy sez: 'I laugh in the face of your Lefty-switches Davey'

[Edgy MD]

I have to say, I thought the better plan was to start Harvey in game one, get the Nats all tenderized and discouraged-like for Mejia.

Maybe it was the better plan anyhow, but I can't argue with the results.

Love getting a piece of the opponents' pen at the start of a series.

[Zvon]

Mejia up to 84 pitches as he takes the mound in the 7th.

[Zvon]

Mejia done for the day. Great job! 0 runs, 7 hits, 7 Ks.
I'm going to try to not get too excited until we see him pitch a few more times.

Where's the fun in that?!

Best second half pitcher or bust!

That put me in giddy mode.

[Zvon]

Rice gets the mound, Newy gets left.

[Zvon]

Rice with a real nice 8th. 9 pitches. Sweet DP.

[Edgy MD]

Scott Hairston into the game. Sandy Alderson remembers out loud that the Mets went in a different direction. Raises his hand for a high five. Everybody in his box looks away and leaves him hanging.

[Frayed Knot]

Look at Rice taking care of the RHBs (3 outs from 2 batters) after the leadoff single to the lefty

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Lagares doubling once every 8 ABs.

[Zvon]

Holy schmoly! Lagares with another double!

[Edgy MD]

�Juan Lagares es Se�or Doble!

[Zvon]

Mattheus breaks Muffys HR bat!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Five ribbies for Muffy!

[Zvon]

Thats okay. Murph likes rib eye steak singles too.
6-0 Mets

5 Ribbys for Dan.

After fouling off like 75 pitches.
And that long AB will cost the Nats another reliever as Mattheus (just off the DL after, earlier in the season, adding to the stat of lockers being undefeated against knuckles) can't finish up the inning.

[Zvon]

Wright gets in on the act. 7-0.
Hey, save the next seven for tonight.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pile that shit on. Eight to nothing.
