Duda smashes into a inning ending DP

[Zvon]

Ugh. damn.

[Zvon]

I doubt that would have gone through but still.....

[Zvon]

I gotta love that blue Montero glove. GJ guy.

Time to summon up the spirit of the Recker comeback bomb.

Cuddy don't get it done.

Muffytime.

[Zvon]

If Lags homers here I'll kiss TC's wrinkly ass.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Damn that called strike 3 on Grandyman. Miller Lite Turning Point of the Game.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Your lips are safe one more night!

[ashie62]

Oh well. Storen was unhittable.

[Zvon]

Whew. I really want the Mets to win but I'm a man of my word, and I am relieved as well as bummed out.

Mets lose.
deGrom out pitched & served with his first loss.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Fast game... 2:21 games are not too common these days.
I thought when I turned it on a little after 8 and saw it was
delayed that it was going to be a long night.

[Edgy MD]

Look forward to the 2015 Mets breaking the seal on the home run box.

I'm surprised that Megdal hasn't written a story blaming the lineup on Bernie Madoff.
Or did I miss it?

It moved fast but it didn't feel that way sitting in the cold, especially with the game delayed by an hour for an anticipated rainstorm that never came. The new clock attached to the scoreboard giving the players 2:25 to get ready between innings seemed to get the batter into the batter's box faster. I noticed once or twice that the batter would be swinging near the dugout, look up, and then quickly move to the plate. We were handed a Nationals "rally towel" upon entry. I kept it to wipe the seats except it didn't absorb water (so it allegedly facilitates rallies but doesn't perform towel-like functions). Everyone had the same experience and threw them to the ground in disgust.

Man, there is nothing more useless than a cheap, non-absorbent towel.

Kinda evens our ledger from the other day, no?

[Edgy MD]

The difference was one big hit. It can be a slog when the one big hit that the Nats got was in the first and the Mets spent nine innings within a swing and never getting it.

Duda hit the ball hard to no avail.
