Gee vs Zimmermannnnn

The Mets have won each game the four games Zimmermann has started this season although he's pitched decently overall.
- In April he lost 2-0 to Gee
- He also gave up just 2 runs and got a ND in June in a game the Mets won 3-2
- In July the Mets got to him for 5 runs in an eventual 11-0 win
- and in August Gee again beat him 3-2

Young - LF
Lagares - RF
Murphy - 2B
Duda - 1B
Turner - 3B
den Dekker - CF
d'Arnaud - C
Quintanilla - SS
Gee - P



Rumor has it that Ruben Tejada is back in town.

Werth homers in the first. Gee's pitch was moving but it ended up on Jasons sweet spot.

[Frayed Knot]

Much better start tonight -- our staff cut the number of 1st inning HRs served up in half.

It's still been like watching a home run derby.

edit: oh yea, LaRoche goes LaYard.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, so who thought this constant music thing was a good idea?

They are talking about it. Are they really going to do that? That's fucked up.

[Edgy MD]

Murphy gets his hits in against Washington.

[Zvon]

If Tyrna was playing all season we'd have scored a hundred runs a week!

[Frayed Knot]

I think Muph's double improved the XBH-against ratio in this series to 11-1

[Zvon]

A little thing like d' saying thank you to the ump (after inquiring about a strike) goes a long way in my impression of him as a person. I like and respect him more for something like that.

[Zvon]

Also,...I'm always getting on Dudas case about his fielding, so I should also mention when he does well. That ground out to him earlier tonight that included the toss to Gee was played textbook perfect, and I will note it.

[Zvon]

Young making things happen.

and.....we're gonna strand him? Come on MURPH!

If the Mets are going to dump the season to 90 losses they might want to reconsider Terry Collins as their likely 2014 manager...

I dunno Ash. So much wind has been knocked out of our sails this past month. It must be awfully hard to keep this team as a unit in a positive mindset. I would not hang this seasons close on TC. Or would not hang TC because of this seasons ending.

[Edgy MD]

Mets showing some wa.

[Edgy MD]

Brad Benson just used the word "A-Hole" in his stupid ad.

[Zvon]

Werths playing like the player the Nats paid for.

[Zvon]

Justins a ball of fire!

[Fman99]

Signs of life! Two ribbies for the kid Den Dekker.

[Zvon]

Big hit from little d'!
4-3

[Zvon]

Gah. Its almost funny. Turner pulled up lame scoring there. Hammy.

[Zvon]

wtf? What r ya lookin back for lil d'?

Phoooff, out by a mile.

[Frayed Knot]

I think this might be Terry's first pitching change without a double-switch in like three weeks.

[Zvon]

BIG DP. Very nicely done. Even after the quick turn at second I was sure Span would beat it out.

[Zvon]

That was the best turn Ive ever seen Murphy pull. And thats big. Thats how he got hurt that time. He's now officially a 2nd baseman.

[Zvon]

Damn. That throw had to be perfect. Better than perfect.

[Edgy MD]

Any word with regard to Turner's injury?

He's hitting like he hasn't all season and kapowie. He's down like a brick in the water.

"Collective meh" --- Josh's characterization of the Citi Field fans' response to Frank Francisco's 2013 home debut.

[Fman99]

Did I forget to pitch for five months? Shucks.

They're saying tightness but it looked to be a tad worse than that to me.

[Edgy MD]

Hairy screws his former teammate.
