[Edgy MD]

Wecky did not swing wisely.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Sigh. Is Travis even close to returning yet?

No.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

And Gilmartin walks the leadoff guy on four pitches. Is that throwing in the towel?

[ashie62]

Pretty much. You just know it.

[Edgy MD]

Not throwing it in in Baltimore, I tell you what.

[ashie62]

On to the 15th.

[Edgy MD]

Good job, Gil.

Let's hitski.

[Edgy MD]

I'm all for using your starters out of the pen in an emergency, but there's an argument against it for a team perched in first like the Cards.

I still agree with it. Tony Larussa went to position players back in 2007, effectively throwing in the towel, though the Mets still struggled to scratch out a win.

[ashie62]

Poop.

I actually agree with you. This game is crucial.

[ashie62]

In Gilmartin we trust.

[ashie62]

To the 16th tee.

[Edgy MD]

Umpteenth inning heroism!!

[Edgy MD]

First career plate appearance for Gilmartin.

AND A BASE HIT!!

[Edgy MD]

Walking Duda � who, let's be honest, is in the mother of all slumps � on four pitches. Odd.

[Edgy MD]

Oooh, a grounds crew delay. Good for them. The game was just going too fast.

[Zvon]

What's all this then?

GAH!

[Edgy MD]

Swinging away in a buntalino situation. OK. Stayed out of the double-play, anyhow.

[Edgy MD]

Granderson has played a full game on his day off.

[Zvon]

I have a nagging feeling this will end painfully, but I'll hang. No one should have to suffer thru this alone Edge.

1-1 Mets

[ashie62]

Thank you Terry Collins.

I am waiting for Celebrity Family Feud at this point and eating chili.

[Zvon]

If they win Fat Ass Molina better not have anything to do with it. GAH!

[Lefty Specialist]

Went out to dinner, came back, and they're still playing. Ay caramba.

[ashie62]

Terry is going to have ALOT of splainin to do with the Flores AB.

[ashie62]

To the 17th tee.

[Zvon]

If they continue to do nothing I'm confident we can outlast them at doing nothing.

Piece of cake.

[Zvon]

This should be interesting.
