IGT - Mets @ Cubs -- 6/5/14

[Edgy MD]

Never really trust guys who wear eye black for night games.

[Edgy MD]

See?

[Guest d'Kong76]

They shouldn't have let Rizzo hit there.
This series is sucking the life out of me.

[Zvon]

That didn't last long. I told ya to keep Rizzo down boys. Didn't mean downtown.

They will mug you. Apparently.

Black didn't leave it up, either-- he golfed it.

[Edgy MD]

Let's get it back.

I wanna make love to you under the Strop light!

[Frayed Knot]

Does d'Arnaud have any hits this season?
Cuz, if so, I don't remember any of them.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, great the overshift against Granderson.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, he found a spot!

Go Wrightage.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Say what you will about Dopey Terry's lineup choices, but, well, Chris Young has been on base three times tonight.

[Guest d'Kong76]

A little more than some warning-track power here
from Wright would be really nice.

[Zvon]

Come on Dave. Wait for your pitch & poke it..

UGH. That was not your pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

Does Wright have any RBIs this season?
Cuz, if so, I don't remember any of them?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Strandin' strandin' strandin' Mets just keep on strandin'

[Guest d'Kong76]

The ol' triangle of death play adds salt to the hurts...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Waitwaitwait... struggles or no, did we just see SugarPants double-switched out?

[Frayed Knot]

Strandin' strandin' strandin'
Mets just keep on stranding'
Because they can not hit the
Cow-hiiiiiiide

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We're going to be fucking swept by the fucking Cubs.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know, I was just about to say that this game has the feel of one where we give up two insurance runs and then score twice in the 9th to fall just short (with the go-ahead runners left on base of course).
Well, we fulfilled the first half of that prediction.

It has to be said. Recker got the tag down and d'Aranud did not, and that has made all the difference.

Pretty sad.

We are conditioned for this. Campy does not agree.

Not remotely close to the same play.

[Guest d'Kong76]

And right on cue, Gary says, "the Cubs have not
swept a series all year."

[Edgy MD]

This is quite the test here.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

It seems like whenever we come off a great series, we come crashing down right away. I don't want to hear things like "the Phillies series took a lot out of them." That's crap. They gave these Cubs games away.

What the hell does that mean? The series sucked. If it
was a test ... they failed miserably.

[Edgy MD]

I meant for me, dear d'Kong.

[Zvon]

Yea, this "tired" business. Was it Gary who touched on it?
I've seen a lot of tired and sorry Met teams but I don't remember any of em going around telling everyone how tired they are. That's a bunchAbullshit.

[Edgy MD]

Wait... have the Mets been going around and telling folks how tired they are?

I was getting the Cubs feed.

The good news is they'll next be visiting two first-place teams.
