IGT 123 Mets try to sweep rocks with broom

[Lefty Specialist]

CarGo with the bomb. But that can happen to anybody, and Verrett shook it off nicely.

"If he was in an NFL locker room, he'd fit in with the tight ends. As a matter of fact, they'd say, "Wow, that's a pretty big tight end." � Rockies announcer speaking Noah Syndergaard

hahahaha, Blackmon really sucks.

[Edgy MD]

Kinda happy the Mets didn't deal for Charlie Blackmon about now.

[Edgy MD]

Cespedes makes it to the United States, scores a big contract, and he's still getting screwed by Castro.

He was probably distracted by the bad stench coming from his beard.

"You come from a ballclub that was competing for a spot in the playoffs. And you come to a club in last place. You think about that," the ex-New York Mets shortstop told the Denver Post. "... I'm at the point in my career that I want to win. I say it over and over. I want to win. I don't want to spend the rest of my career on a last-place team. That's not the kind of player I feel like I am." Reyes is owed $22 million apiece in 2016 and '17. He also is owed a $4 million buyout of the following year's salary. "We'll see what happens here," Reyes continued. "But in the next couple years, I don't want to waste my time like that. ... I don't have to prove myself to anyone. People know what I'm capable of. I've spent a long time in this game. My numbers are down. Stolen bases, triples, whatever. But I'm 32 years old. If there's some part of my game I need to change, it's to stay healthy. Just stay on the field. At this point in my career, I have to be smart." Quit cryin'. You'd be a 5-10 guy if you stuck with the Mets.

Thanks Ed.

I read these quotes a few days ago so I dunno what the big deal is. Gary made it sound like Reyes was in the Colorado doghouse.

I took to my easy chair around the 3rd inning and nodded off for a bit. I have never done that before during a game. I must officially be getting old.

Verrett's pitching into the seventh, with only 73 pitches under his belt.

And lest it isn't clear ... in Denver!

[Guest d'Kong76]

This Verrett guy don't suck!

[Edgy MD]

And seven K-skis.

What a great time to give the bullpen a little bit of help.

[Zvon]

I am impressed with Logan's run here in Rockyland.

That's crucial.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I agree. There was action in the Mets pen, but I'd like to see Verrett get the 8th. And if his pitch count remains low, the 9th as well.

He doesn't, too!

Totally agree. If he can complete it he becomes legendary in my book.

[Zvon]

Gah shit. Cuddy batting for Verrett. Not official yet. Gary says it could be a ruse.

Does TC ruse?

Inning over, Cuddy don't hit so.....

[Benjamin Grimm]

I guess we'll see!

Not sure if I've ever read anything about it on Colorado online media or Rockies blogs, but it seems to be par for the course for the guy. (He's on my pretend baseball squad, so I do follow game reports and the like. )

I do wonder if you'd hear more fifty-cent-head talk if he were Carlos Gentenegra.

[Zvon]

Logans run continues. yay!

[Lefty Specialist]

Terry's incapable of letting a pitcher go 9. I'd be shocked if he didn't pinch hit and go with Carlos Torres. It's what he does.

Whoa, Cespedes. Shoetops.

[Frayed Knot]

Cespedes really baked McBride with that catch.

[Zvon]

Whoa....

Yoenis: I don't need to stinkin' dive for drives!

Niiiiice quick inning.


Wow, we haven't had a CG all season?!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

8 innings, 4 hits, at Coors. Who is this guy?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Verrett gets the Rockies 1-2-3 in the 8th. He's due to lead off the top of the 9th. I hope he does!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cuddyer hitting for Verrett. Oh well.

[Zvon]

Gah! TC....he coulda been a legend.

It was shortlisted by famed Internet tradeshooter John Cougar Lunchbucket.

Fully expect to see the Mets buried tonight and tomorrow for keeping him buried.

[Lefty Specialist]

Verrett coulda popped up, too, Terry.

[Edgy MD]

Mo Vaughn on to pitch for the Rockies.
