Seems like the Rockies are one of those teams that is either totally on fire or completely sucks, all depending on when you get 'em. We do owe them a good sweeping or three.

[HahnSolo]

I think last night was the Mets first win against them in Citi Field since 2010. I know that they were swept by the Rockies in 2011, and I think the same thing happened last year.

[Benjamin Grimm]

You're right. The last time the Rockies lost a game at Citi Field had been in 2010.

Weird, 0-8 the last two seasons at Citi, but 23-4 in Queens the previous 8 seasons.

Carlos Gonzalez to DL.

Was quite a relief seeing him NOT get off the bench in the 9th inning last night.

Extra fun seeing them stare down the tunnel looking for a hitter.

That used to happen back in the days when teams didn't always carry bullpen catchers, let alone sometimes two, plus a catching instructor. When a team needed their third-string catcher to pinch-hit, he had to dash through the tunnel from the pen to the dugout, not having gotten a look at the pitcher or maybe a chance to swing a weighted bat.

Harvey with a smooth first. Was missing high & hard when he missed. Two pops and a K.

[Zvon]

That last pitch to Byrd was a fastball? That's some movement Chacin has.
0-0 After one.

[Zvon]

A collective awwwwww from the fans at the game (and me here) as Colorado's Rosario strokes a line single for their first hit of the night.

[ashie62]

This isn't the memories of Lucas Duda thread?

[Zvon]

Your cute kid, and well dressed, but don't quit [crossout]your day job[/crossout] school.

Lights up talking about his grand-dad. They got to get that kid a cushion to sit on so he can actually see home plate.

Wilmer Flintstone Flores with his first hit ever. In MLB.

[Guest Kong76]

Best kid-caster ever!!!

I have to stand corrected cuz he is a great kid, and its not his fault he thought Ike was taking balls. The kid couldn't see the plate.

Still, don't quit school.

[Zvon]

Q drives in a run with a hit. The kids good luck!

[Zvon]

Yea. I agree with Keith. Let the kid take it the rest of the way. Ohh. I mean the rest of the game, not the inning. Gah.

[Guest Kong76]

Posted with no direction towards you, Z .. just
thought the kid was good.

He was. I was wrong. You didn't change my mind. The kid did.
Can you imagine if ten or fifteen years from now he ends up doing Met play by play?

[Zvon]

Buck with a 2 out single drives in run #2.
2-0 after four.

[smg58]

Our best hitter right now got on again with yet another double, and Buck plates him.

[Edgy MD]

That's a low-assed pitch count. Let's hope he doesn't cut off at a certain count.

And let's hope we pad that lead.

[Edgy MD]

Seventy pitches thru six. A pace for 105 thru nine.

That school he's in was the same one I went to.

[Frayed Knot]

Tons of grounders and slow-choppers today for the Matt-ster.
Lighter than normal on the K's but that's OK by me.
