IGT #128 Welcome Home David!

[Frayed Knot]

I trust that I don't even have to say 'No Bunts' here ... right?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Layne Meyer. My main Wei er man.

[Edgy MD]

This guy is something. Set up to fail and in a rush to do so.

[Frayed Knot]

Damn!! He should have bunted.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that went from promising to shit in a hurry.

[Lefty Specialist]

Hm. Mets- Red Sox tied at 3 going to extra innings. That turned out OK last time.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets ungraciously refuse to accept the gift presented to them.

[Edgy MD]

Not that time.

Wright swinging at junk from a junk-dealer.

[Lefty Specialist]

Blake Swihart = Dave Henderson.

I was just about to type that I was hoping that a 12-pitch inning would get Familia another one.
But not in today's game it doesn't.

Wow, Laggy looked hurt.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that explains that.

And just like the last time that happened, I'd feel OK about this if we can keep the deficit at one run.
It was that second run all those years ago that made me feel the WS was lost.

Unfortunately, the Red Sox are doing everything they can to get that second run.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

On the bright side, O'Flaherty did his job and got his man. So anything is possible. Put on your rally caps.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bleh. 2 bad DPs, didn't like having to tie it on a 2-out walk vs. a 1-out out, this one reminds me of the Pittsburgh Friday-niter which was the beginning of a long weekend.

[Frayed Knot]

2nd night in a row where we've been handed a ton of walks but no hits w/RiSP (until the very end Thursday night) and obviously tonight the GiDPs in the 9th and then in the 10th killed us. Also the first time we've been out-HR'd in a while.
Lack of bullpen depth also hasn't helped but the way to combat that might have been to have Harvey pitch the 7th and Familia pitch a second frame.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh, tying run at plate again.

And after all that shit THEY'RE STILL NOT DEAD!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Where's Mookie when you need him?

[Edgy MD]

This guy seems uncomfortable still.

[Gwreck]

Have to run for Uribe.

[Edgy MD]

I don't think they will. They don't tend to do that.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Red Sox pen isn't much for throwing strikes. Has to be maddening for a manager.

It seems maddening too for the pitcher left out there when he's hurting.

[Lefty Specialist]

Wow. A Cespedes single could tie it.

[Frayed Knot]

On the other team at the moment.




Obviously we were bound to lose a game sooner or later, just suxx to do so on a night where our starter tossed a shutout (for at least as long as they let him) and where their staff tried to hand us the game.

[Lefty Specialist]

Harvey goes 7 and this is a whole different game. Just saying.

Bingo,boingo,boongo.

But I'm not assessing blame. They have a plan, they are sticking to it. Sucks when it burns like that. We aren't going to win 'em all, and the Nats lost. Not a good day at the office but not a bad one either.

Is there anything of interest I should look for if I fast forward through this game? Should I even fast forward through this game?

I was thinking that would have been a perfect time for Eric Young.
