...And Whoever's Playing the Nationals

[Centerfield]

Mets=Better than the Braves

[G-Fafif]

Jarred Cosart and the Marlins attempt to pick up where Jacob deGrom and the Mets left off tonight in Miami. Gio Gonzalez goes against our very temporarily beloved Fish.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Will that bumbling misanthrope Tom Koehler be pitching at all in this series?

[Frayed Knot]

Nope. Looks like Cosart, the return of Jose Fernandez (who the Nats should see twice in the next week) and then Brad Hand on Sunday (vs Gonzalez, Roark, and the once good but no longer, Max Scherzer)
So no Koehler which means at least there will be no give-away games.

So I guess that means we'll be facing that ill-educated brute.

[Frayed Knot]

Nats lose ... Thaaaaaaaa Nats lose!!

[Ceetar]

Getting pretty close to not having to do this anymore.

[G-Fafif]

Whoever's playing the Nationals won't be facing Drew Storen. Dude broke his thumb in one of those locker-slamming tantrums after he gave up Yo's HR Wednesday night, meaning Cespedes literally ended his season.

Jose Fernandez one of our two favorite pitchers in the world tonight. Tanner Roark goes for whoever's playing whoever's playing the Nationals.

[Guest d'Kong76]

This should further endear Storen to the Gnats faithful.

[Centerfield]

When he hit his locker, that was the first time he hit his spot in a month.

Meet your new team on the side, the Philadelphia Phillies. Oh hell, you know them. But did you know you want them to win their next three games?

Monday: Nola vs. Zimmermann.
Tuesday: Buchanan vs. Strasburg.
Wednesday: Morgan vs. Gonzalez.

For the uninitiated, Nola is a city in Louisiana, Buchanan was an ineffectual president from Pennsylvania and Morgan had a sister who was known to traipse to the pitcher's mound and steal a kiss.

GO YOU PHILLIES! (Bleech.)

Morgan's first name is Dexter and he's from Miami. Hopefully he kills the Nats.

[G-Fafif]

Phillies ultimately unhelpful, but Papelbon blowing a lead in the tenth to his old team when he came back to town to announce he was pretty much the only Phillie who had cared about winning was a moral victory for the soul, if not an additional tick off the ol' magic number.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I hadn't realized that Fister was moved to the bullpen, so this outing was less surprising than I realized.

[G-Fafif]

Those stupid Marlins are now those wonderful Marlins. GO YOU FISH! Cosart vs. Roark at Irrational Park tonight.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice little Fishies beating Nats 6-2 in the 6th. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.......

[Edgy MD]

Hang in there, little fishes!

[Edgy MD]

Werth up against the lefty Dunn. Tying run on deckles.

[Edgy MD]

He's out, but Moore works the walk. Tying run at the plate!

[Edgy MD]

Two-run single for Desi.

Now Ramos, who has not done much since his grand slam against the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Shramos walks. FOUR PITCHES, Morris!

Tying run on second, go-ahead on first.

Closer A.J. Ramos coming in.

[Edgy MD]

AND TAYLOR SWINGS AND MISSES! STRIKE THREE!

[Frayed Knot]

6-4, heading for bottom 9

[Fman99]

That's the ballgame! Magic number of nine!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Singular Happiness!!

[nymr83]

[Edgy MD]

That's great. As far ahead as they may be, a win there would have totally put the pressure on the Mets going into the Yankee series.
