IGT 6/24/15 NYM @ MIL: Meet, The Mets

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

I'm losing my optimism. And did anyone, seeing that lineup, expect anything different?

It's not like the particulars of the lineup (or the opposing pitcher for that matter) make a difference. They've totaled 33 hits during this (almost)7 game losing streak.

I tend to think the particulars matter, even if it's hard to make 1 and 1 to add up to anything but 2.

To come out of a team meeting and write Campbell's name on the lineup card is a bad particular.

Eight innings for Baby-Face Nelson.

Three outs to below .500... it's like watching paint dry.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Matinee tomorrow! woo hoo....

They haven't lately.

You might want to at least put an ellipse in if you incompletely quote a statement.

You just owe your team something more if you have a meeting and ask them to do something different and you go out there and do the same thing. Shaking things up just for the change in perspective has a value. Demonstrate trying for them by trying to find an edge yourself.

Another cock-punch of a game. I scored front row seats right behind the plate and they could not have been more wasted.

I saw a guy in a #13 BLEVINS Mets jersey from afar. I thought about tracking him down and getting the story on that one, but didn't have the nerve. Has to be a relative, right?

Going with a Brewers fan buddy tomorrow. They cannot get swept...I won't survive the car ride home with all the shit I'll have to take if they do.

Spot Transmonk!

That is one horribly awful combination.

And what you said about us VS. shit pitchers a few games ago. I take back all I said. This is friggin' ridiculous. This is sad.

I was actually four seats to the left of this guy (his left).
