IGT 05/18 -- STL @ NYM

[Centerfield]

The Mets looking like they have no chance to score another run tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Man, this umpie is a pitcher's friend tonight.

Redbirds strangely burned their last bench player.

[Frayed Knot]

Torres looking to be the losing pitcher while striking out every batter he faces.

[Centerfield]

I was positive that strikeout was going to end up the winning run.

Switching to ESPN. Is SNY crapping out on anyone else?

[Zvon]

Wow, what a job by ATorres.

SNY thu MLB.tv is okay.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Stupid Time Warner Cable losing picture/signal on both SNY and ESPN

[Edgy MD]

Mets have given up zero hits in extra innings.

Good a time as any for some crazy-assed support. Tejada, you're new to this particular game. How about making a mark? There's some beer in it for you.

[Frayed Knot]

I wonder what pct of extra inning games are won by the home team?
My guess it that it would be higher than the standard 54% or so games that home teams generally win in baseball but I don't know that I've ever seen a breakdown.
I do know that I feel a helluva lot more CAHNfident as the home team in these situations, but I don't know if stats will back up that feeling.

[Edgy MD]

Let's hit into the shift some more. That might work.

[Frayed Knot]

Aside from Cuddyer's ground ball single (one AB too late I might add) the last ball NYM bats have gotten out of the infield seems like about two hours ago.

[Edgy MD]

Remaining on the bench for the Mets: Mayberry, Recker.

[Frayed Knot]

Wasn't this pitcher one of the teletubbies?

[Edgy MD]

Tuivalala coming in wild. Quickly looking Tuivalostlost.

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

[Edgy MD]

How do we not send Campbell 3-and-2?

Anywitz, now we're going to put all our chips on a bunt. That's not worked out so well this season.

[Edgy MD]

On the other hand, is Cud somebody Terry will bunt?

NO!

[Frayed Knot]

Scoring across MLB today:
1-1 here
2-1 in the 9th in Houston
4-1 in the 8th in Colorado
3-2 final in Detroit
3-2 final in 13 in Miami
2-1 final in 10 in Chicago
and the one outlier: 10-6 in Toronto

The Damn Thing Is Over!

[Frayed Knot]

Mayberry after swinging at the first pitch at his ankles: "Just trying to be patient here"

[Zvon]

On a grounder to short. I'll take it vs. St. Lou. Disappointed they couldn't keep things in order for Harvey, but a wins a win. And this is a big one. They gotta be able to hang with the big boys.

[Gwreck]

Sat next to a really fun, intelligent Cardinals fan tonight. He may root for the wrong team but it's always nice to have a good baseball conversation at the park.

Harvey is awesome.

14th inning stretches are fun. Walk off wins are great.

[Centerfield]

I never got the feeling they were going to find a way to win. Happy to be wrong.

Three game win streak!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I nodded off around the 12th inning, although I dreamed that the Mets won. Most likely because the radio was still on and it entered my subconscious.

[ashie62]

I pulled the plug when Harvey got pulled at 105 pitches, grrrrr. Very happy to see the win.

[TransMonk]

I made it to the end, but will say that had the Mets not scored in the 14th, I would have considered turning in.

But I love walk off wins, so extra innings at home always give me that tease.
