[Guest themetfairy]

Yeah, I said it! The Mets prepare to use their newfound military might against the Cardinals yet again!

No military tonight, just 0.

Granderson � 9
Wright � 5
Murphy � 4
Young � 8
Duda � 3
d�Arnaud � 2
Quintanilla � 6
Gee � 1

Off to Citi. Hope this is better than the last time I saw Wainwright in Flushing. (I may be lying, I might have seen him pitch since 2006 and don't remember)

[Guest d'Kong76]

Pinstripes over military might any day for me.

[TransMonk]

Keith isn't hiding his Cardinal nostalgia much this series.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Can't blame him, he drank the Cardinal-way kool-aid.

[TransMonk]

I think he just wants to be one of the best fans in baseball.

[TransMonk]

Things getting dicey in the 4th.

[metirish]

Dillon nor dealing , gee

[Edgy MD]

Quite the escape act. Now let's get those runz back.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Not altogether terrible-- if somewhat belated-- damage control by Mr. Gee.

A play like Jon Jay made on d'Arnaud to prevent the DP on the 5-2 putout-- blind side play made with intent of taking catcher out-- kinda makes me wish there was something like a yellow card in baseball.

[metirish]

Christ , Granderson looks awful , lost and dejected......just like most of the fans

[Edgy MD]

Taking out the guy turning the DP is part of the game. They can outlaw it, but until they do, most other players would have done the same, and some would have come in higher.

Striking out Grandy was like taking the baby's candy there.

[Frayed Knot]

And now, after Mets bats are disposed with in about 90 seconds, Gee gets to go right back out there.

[Frayed Knot]

EYJ continues to make plays more often than not, even on the ones where he looks bad.



I had no problem with Jay's slide.

Long way to go here...

He did a few things the un-Cardinal way also...

[Guest d'Kong76]

Not for me to judge when making a Cardinal-way joke.

Really, though, virtually all major leaguers make plays more often than not, strictly speaking.

Big-boy chance for d'Arnaud squandered right there.

[TransMonk]

A hell of a grab by Holliday. The booth seemed sure it was a rob job, but to me it looked a little short.

[Edgy MD]

It's a different game otherwise, to be sure.

I feel like we're all disagreeing with each other tonight,
but I disagree and it was out.

[Edgy MD]

Hard-hit ballz by the Mets keep finding Cardinal leather tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Hesitation out of the box costing you there, Youngie.

[ashie62]

Chris Young may have taken out Wainwright...

[Guest d'Kong76]

I feel like the top of the eighth should have been over
five minutes ago and now it's bases loaded.

[Frayed Knot]

Hits [u:iopfqb8v]by[/u:iopfqb8v] Adam Wainwright in April 2014 = 5
Hits by all NYM pitchers combined in April 2014 = 0

Agreed.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We still got a chance here.

[metirish]

STFU and stop ejaculating all over my TV talking about the fucking cardinals.....
