Teheranasaurus Wrecks IGT 7/8/14

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Barehanded and arm-whipped a slow grounder to get Simmons by a hair.

deGrom's not pitching badly this inning... he's just being made to labor.

[Edgy MD]

Wright plays some game-saving D too!

Thanks. It hasn't been added to the replays...yet. Thought they'd show it at the innings end.
Bastages.

Great play by Wright stifles Heyward.

[Zvon]

B.J. blows!

[Edgy MD]

A lot of great Mets Baseball Like It Oughta Be today.

[Zvon]

I saw that leather from EYoung. And Wright there too.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, dear. Dan Uggla. .163?!

[Frayed Knot]

Pitching, defense, and two-out RBI hits!!
Our cup runneth over tonight.

Yikes.

[Edgy MD]

Clean-shaven d'Arnaud is better than scruffy d'Arnaud.

[Edgy MD]

deGreat night for deGrom ends.

[Edgy MD]

Towel twirlers looking tired.

[Frayed Knot]

Somebody finally hit something that Heyward couldn't catch up to.
One more run and we outscore Germany.

[Guest themetfairy]

There's not enough beer to go around tonight!

CARLYLE Ks FknFRDYFRMN!

..it deserved a headline.

[Frayed Knot]

Try and think, though, that it's a week later and the Mets are some'n'how four games closer.

And, if the game ends with this score (or more favorable for the Mets) then the Mets will have a better season-long RS/RA number than the Braves - and yet be 8 games behind.

[Edgy MD]

That post was supposed to be in the Where We Struggle thread.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Look the fuck out for Doodoo.

Verrry Frustrating.

DeGrom's a keeper. At the start of the season, I didn't envision him being ahead of Thor and Montero.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is some kind of storm coming. Hope for a quick 9th.

[Edgy MD]

Mets starting to play lazy. Come on. Crispen up.

This whole season has been frustrating.

Enjoy this.

Around the league tonight ...

- Yanx hand Tanaka a 2-run lead in the 1st, but lose 5-3 in large part due to a tie-breaking Nick Swisher HR.
Good thing the Yanx got rid of all those HR hitters they hated (like Swisher & Grandy) in favor of a small-ball/pop-gun offense. Maybe it's time for them to re-think that wish.

- O's at Nats rained out tonight. It was to be the 2nd game of their 4-game 2+2 series but they're not going to make it up either Wednesday or Thursday by doing a 2-games/2-cities/one-day thing that the Mets & Yanx did twice. Yeah, those stadiums are 40 miles apart rather than 6, but it would be doable in a day/night way.

[Zvon]

Dammit. I wanted the back-end of the pen to get the night off. That'll cost you more than a sip Mr. Eveland. And you look like a guy who likes his beer. Tisk, tisk.

[Zvon]

Very nice 'd.

[Zvon]

Jeeze, FFF. Take a freakin' break.
