IGT 7/28 Phil @ NYM - On Monday, deGrom rested.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Colon giggle to himself, like, three times tonight. It's understandable, and charming, AND creepy, all at once.

And now he's tossing the ball to himself between batters. He couldn't look any more relaxed if he had those pedicure things between his toes.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maybe a little too relaxed.

Yeah, he sure as hell won't be jogging off this field.

Gj Bart. Go grab a snack.

[Zvon]

I kinda have almost complete confidence that we can hold this lead. It's nice to have faith in a bullpen. I'm not used to it.

[Zvon]

Wow. Travis scorching at the plate.

[Frayed Knot]

We are beginning to see the d'Arnaud the scouts all liked as he was coming up.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, I think it was in the 1st inning when discussing a spinning foul ball that Ronnie said it looked like a hit that was made by 'Fats Domino'.
Umm, I think you meant 'Minnesota Fats' Ronnie. No beer for you tonight in the announcer of the game points.

[Zvon]

OHHhhh, that hadda hurt.

Howie seconds that! Damn good game. Man, Phils suck these days (had to say it cuz I could).

[Frayed Knot]

Not often that a team gets 13 hits and still gets smushed.

[Gwreck]

Nice night at the park, and nice job stranding runners by Bartolo in his last-ever Mets start.

Good weather, lots of Mets offense, Phillies lose, douchebag in Cliff Lee jersey kicked out by security - a fine night all around.

[Guest themetfairy]

What's the matter guys?

[Edgy MD]

Yankees lose. Nats lose. Mets win and gain on first.

Haha. I love this pic.

Great picture.

The MFPs are used to seeing that green piece of crap and were face to face with the best mascot in sports.

Mr. Met is Mr. Met. But the Phanatic's alright too.

Wifey MD remarked how relaxed Eveland and Black seemed to be as they took over also.

With the big lead and the last-place team and Colon's unflappability to feed off of, and the homecoming to a stadium that's finally kind of like a home, this may be one the more chill wins I've seen in a while.

Also applicable to the old Vet carpet.
