[Zvon]

Lets get to this Ramirez guy. Big time.

When Newy came up this last time if you missed one of his at bats odds were you missed an extra base hit. Now, it's that.

Weak swing on the change up.

And Lags sags.

[Zvon]

I like how Lagares manages to look put out by routine fly outs. Like they are just an inconvenience that he has to deal with.

[Zvon]

9 Ks by this Ramirez guy. Wtf? He's a scrub!

[Zvon]

This is a strange game cause we are winning 2-1 yet I feel like we are losing.

[Frayed Knot]

Sooner or later we're actually going to have to face a good pitcher; how many K's do you suppose we'll ring up then?

[Edgy MD]

We have a new Jake Monster.

[Zvon]

WOW. That woke me up.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I love Doodoo.

[Edgy MD]

Lewin lept out of his chair over that one.

[Frayed Knot]

First HR since before the break, no?

[Zvon]

Duda crushed that. 3-1 Mets.

Still can't relax.

[Frayed Knot]

Lagares at the wall ... Yawn!

[Zvon]

He looked interested in that one. Nice grab, smooth.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, get rid of Cano here where he can't be the tying run and then you almost certainly take him out of the mix in the 9th

For the team, yes, I think so.


Familia looking good. Please pen, don't let this game go to waste.

[Edgy MD]

Two-headed Gil Hodges: at least a little disturbing.

Not to excuse anything, but I think, between the Pads and M's, they've faced some pretty damn good pitchers.

[Frayed Knot]

Let's take a poll: I vote for NO drama in the bottom of the 9th

[Guest themetfairy]

[Edgy MD]

Well, somebody was paying attention at pitchers fielding practice.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He DOES look proud (and happily surprised), doesn't he?

Mejia handling a potential 1-6-3 is a little more drama than I usually care for in my ninth, but hey... Books is Books.

[Zvon]

That's a true test for a closer, right there. Good job Mr Mejia. He didn't panic with the grounder either. I think we got ourselves a closer. Parnell's pain in the neck has shaped the future.
