IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

[Edgy MD]

Look at 'em. Most understated victory celebration ever.

[Zvon]

We needed this one bad.

They left like 25 men on base. Can't remember the last time
the Mets suicide squeezed... anyone?

[Edgy MD]

I remember a disastrously failed suisqueeze a few weeks back. Can't remember the last successful one.

I realize the RBI is one of the old counting stats that has fallen down the list of importance. But, can't someone on this team drive in a fucking run? I was at a birthday party and heard scores from time to time. When they took the 1-0 lead and Familia was coming in I thought "In the bag". Whew!
I guess a win is a win.
But that's like saying that any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
They battled.

Lost in the slow drama is that the Nats lost to the Dodgers, 5�0, and Washington now has your hitless wonders a mere two games behind them. The Mets head to DC with a chance to take back first place, thought they may not feel like it.

Any offensive magic you might have in your hats, it's a good time to pull it out.

What a game. Napped through innings 1-5, missed 6-9 at the park pool, and 10-15 at home cooking dinner and doing chores, and still managed to catch the last three innings and the win.

[Edgy MD]

I envy your hairy ass.

[ashie62]

The Cinderella Amateur at Augusta won!

You're right to do so. I lead a charmed life.

Missed much of this, but drifted in and out after the 10th.

One for 26 w/RiSP isn't a statistic, it's a typo!!

Gotta love headlines like these:

Mets beat Cards in 18 innings despite stranding 25 runners

http://news.yahoo.com/mets-beat-cards-18-innings-despite-stranding-25-021135270--spt.html

The Mets' total of stranded runners tied the third-most in major league history and they became the first team since Kansas City on June 6, 1991, to leave as many runners on and still win. Only Philadelphia (27) in 1973 and San Diego (26) in 1979 left more runners stranded in a game � and both teams lost.

either the Mets are going to bunch those hits better and score 15 during this next series, or they're going to stop hitting altogether and score 1.
