IGT 124: WELCOME BACK DAVID

[Edgy MD]

Sounds like Met fans are financing a new left-handed reliever for the Phils. They've packed the place.

Oh, and... RUN, CESPEDES!

I listened to the Phillies radio crew for the first two innings while parked at the LL field for Fboy's practice. Those guys, Larry Andersen in particular, are DICKS.

[Edgy MD]

Good hold, Teufel.

[Fman99]

d'Arnaud with the knock! Thirteen fucking runs!

[Edgy MD]

And 11 unanswered after they were down 7-2.

[Frayed Knot]

If this game ever actually gets around to ending, I think we're going to like the result.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Howie and Josh expect Muffy will take one in the ribs next time up.

Tonight's most fascinating person behind home plate is Fabulously Pregnant Lady.

Motown Dancing Girl in front of her is OK in my book also.

[Lefty Specialist]

lol at Gary. "The Mets kick the extra point"

You can't get much more fabulously pregnant than her.

No way. She's mind kind of date. Forty weeks in and she's still going to ballgames.

Loewen was a minor league Met for a bit, I believe. I also think he was a two-way player.

[Fman99]

See that, kids? Run to first base when you put it in play! This has been brought to you by "shit your coach told you when you were 9."

[Frayed Knot]

Rupp has had himself one good but tough night behind the plate.
Dude has blocked every piece of shit these Phils pitchers have thrown up there.

[Edgy MD]

Not for nothing, but shouldn't Wright be sitting?

Or get another extra-base hit.

That was a triple on most other nights.

[Fman99]

I am giddy.

[Frayed Knot]

So there goes the 14-9 possibility

[Edgy MD]

Fire Alderson.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Mets are corking their bats!

[Frayed Knot]

Season high in games ahead (5.5)
Season high in games over .500 (12)
Another game chopped off the schedule

And all it took was 14 unanswered runs.

[Guest themetfairy]

I feel like I have been saying this constantly but OMG what a crazyass game!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Tejada didn't get this afternoon's memo?

The jury is still out.
But he still has his batting stroke.
As long as he can drive in more than he lets in, I'll be happy.

Later

One of the most amazin' games I've ever seen. I was like WHO ARE THESE GUYS! These guys are for real.

Shame about deGrom not having it. I betchya he cuts his hair.

I was watching on TiVo delay. I was tempted to give up when the Mets were down 7-2, but "all in" means "all in" so I happily stuck with it. (I did do a bit of fast-forwarding, mainly while the Phillies were hitting.)

The only bad news was deGrom's performance. Hopefully it's an anomaly. If not, we're in a bit of trouble.

It was nice to see that David Wright can not only still hit homers and field his position, but he can still wipe his nose with his jersey.

I've been giddy for 4 days. My co-workers are concerned.

Hilarious. He'll probably be a Dodger by dinner time.

[Edgy MD]

When was the last time you saw a Mets relief pitcher get two at-bats in a regulation game?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hats off to Gil Martin. If the Mets had their way he wouldn't have pitched at all last night since they were eyeing a potential spot-start or long relief job for Colon Wednesday whose apparently still hurting from the HBP.
