Holy shit! You make it sound as if Eric Young isn'tone of our best players! If only we could get this through the manager's thick head.

It was a big topic on FAN during my hour or two of not-sleeping early this AM.
And not that I don't think it's a legit topic for discussion, but some fans have fallen way too in love with Juan Lagares. I mean, even if you want to compare him to Willie Mays defensively, I think we're got a ways to go before we start down the same road on the offensive side too.

This game is kinda sucking!

It's all going pear shaped Terry and Sandy

[Frayed Knot]

Third straight series where slow, fat guys are scoring from 1st on hits against us.

And, let's face it, the odds of this team scoring 5 runs [u:2ileuivg]this weekend[/u:2ileuivg] are probably less than 50/50

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's okay, guys-- we'll make our comeback later, when they're 1000% better, run-differential-wise.

Need to find the TC hot seat thread...

[metirish]

Somehow hearing Gary say the Mets last scored a run Tuesday is worse than hearing his say it's been 21 innings .....they way this is goign he'll be saying Mets last scored a month ago.

[Zvon]

A run. Yay!

[Frayed Knot]

Nats wisely pitch around Murphy to get to Wright and thus get out of the inning without further damage.

[Zvon]

Gary does a good Tim

[Guest d'Kong76]

Campbell has some chowder on his swing.

[Frayed Knot]

Campbell should get a start (or two) at 3B sometime this weekend.
The incumbent there seems like he needs a break.

[Edgy MD]

Clippard is a nice guy to beat.

[Edgy MD]

Abreu is a modest revelation, isn't he?

Cmon Duda...

[Guest d'Kong76]

This game is still kinda sucking!

[Zvon]

Ugh. At least he made good contact.

Yeah, but why wasn't Lagares pr-ing for him there?
On a gapper that potential run was important and don't you want him for defense?

I guess Terry is saving him for PH duty in the 9th: Lagares & Flores for Tejada & the pitchers slot.

That's not gonna help in the morning.

[Frayed Knot]

The good news is that we kept the strike-outs in single digits tonight
The bad news is just about everything else.

[Zvon]

damnshit. Reck got allAthat.

[Guest d'Kong76]

That's not gonna help in the morning.

[Frayed Knot]

We could try drinking more but I don't think that's gonna help in the morning either.

[Edgy MD]

[Fman99]

FUCK JAYSON WERTH AND HIS BEARD.

[Zvon]

OMG. Only the Mets can end a game like that.

[Edgy MD]
