IGT 124: WELCOME BACK DAVID

[Benjamin Grimm]

Carlos Torres, July 4, 2014. He had a strikeout and a sac hit.

If you mean two AT BATS, instead of two plate appearances, it would be Raul Valdes, who I don't even remember at all, on May 20, 2010.

[Frayed Knot]

Other odd tid-bit from last night's game: First time EVAH each of the 1-7 hitters in a lineup all HR'd in the same game.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Poor Ruben.

It's extra special to have Juan Samuel standing there watching.

Flores got greedy and hit a second homer, which was totally Tejada's to hit.

He did get one nice drive off into the right-centerfield gap, but Whatshistupidface ran it down. He made up for it by totally missing Murphy's second double, which would have been a triple if Murphy wasn't letting up on the gas.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Murphy needs doubles to catch Ed Kranepool.

It was a great game. The Flores walk-off has been the best of the season so far...but this one is in the running for my second favorite.

Veterans Stadium often felt like this, but last night for the first time Citizens Bank Ballpark felt like Shea South.

That was SO much fun last night.

Best part was Ronnie calling Cespedes's homer.

Quick. Top ten. Go!

[TransMonk]

One and two are still the Friday and then the Sunday in the most recent series with the Nats. I'm a sucker for walk-offs, so after that would be most of those, plus the Cespedes game the other night, but last night's is on the list for sure.

In no particular order after one and (maybe) two:

Friday, Jul 31
Sunday, Aug 2
Tuesday, Aug 25
Sunday, Jul 26
Saturday, Jun 27
Thursday, Jun 11
Monday, May 18
Tuesday, May 26
Monday, Jun 15
Friday, Aug 21

Citi South. Or we could just call it Phlushing.

Glad to see that tonight's game made the list before it was even played. It's nice to know beforehand that the game will be a good one.

Yeah...spoiler alert. LOL

That's supposed to be Aug 24.

Heyman reporting that deGrom was feeling poorly yesterday, having eaten something that disagreed with him.

I'm guessing...

But even the Cheese Steak Curse could stop the Mets.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That's it! No more eating until November!

I hypothesized about this on Facebook last night.

[Edgy MD]

I saw that. I thought that post was here and I was looking all over for it. I'd say your hypothesis is half confirmed, at least.

[Guest themetfairy]

It was a great game to attend.
