IGT #101: 7/27/13 Mets @ Nats: Storm the Gates

[Ceetar]

The Nationals are guarding to the gate to the castle holding the NL East title. Someone who's serious about storming that castle needs to leave the guards bleeding by the side of the road as you storm past.

The Mets need to put together a legitimate winning streak, 8 in a row, or 12/15 or something that converts all those extra games they have to play into wins if they want to be taken seriously.

It continues today. Dillon Gee versus Dan Haren.

Let's hit Haren hard and early!!

[nymr83]

It took forever to decide Wright hit that ball foul...

It's not like FOX had a good camera angle on it so we could see what happened.

Sorry, we were the low budget game.

[bmfc1]

Yeah, it's not like they should make an effort for 21% of the country, including New York.

[nymr83]

Gee suddenly decided to throw two batting practice pitches?

[nymr83]

Real letdown today, Mets offense shitting the bed again and this time against a starter who has been terrible this year.

There were two of those for Wright this game. Horrible camera work. I've only seen parts of this game up to now. Unfortunately the bad parts, not the one good part.

Down 4-1 and playing lifelessly.

Agreed #83. Three hits off Haren. Gahpuke.

[Zvon]

Man, that came out of nowhere.


BTW, nice opening post Ceets.

The gates were not stormed

I was able to see the end of this on MLB.TV. I didn't think I'd be able to but it allowed me to replay the game (they didn't show it there live). That's good to know.

Great catch by Byrd to end the 8th. The more I see the more I think Byrd is all we need in right next season. I don't like to see Ike whine but I think he had a real good case on the called strike to end the game. Meh, that ump sucked all day.

The excitement from the Mejia performance has been sucked out of me. But if he pitches like that again it will be rekindled.
