IGT Laborious Day Game Day 9/7 Mets vs Nats

[Lefty Specialist]

Niese busting Scherzer's balls even though he strikes out.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Niese is not listening to me, but I liked the 10-pitch at-bat all the same.

[Lefty Specialist]

Plays not made. Dammit.

Hope it's not the 2nd inning.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Never mind! DP fail followed by DP success!

[Lefty Specialist]

And then plays made. Yay.

[Frayed Knot]

Even with all those baserunners, it was a four ground-ball inning for Niese.
Has thrown about half as many pitches as compared to Scherzer thru 2 innings.

[Edgy MD]

Long live the Knights Who Say Niese.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

WHEW! WHEW! WHEW! WHEW! WHEW!

[Lefty Specialist]

Whew. Bullet dodged.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Cespedes joins the homer club!

Walking 2 guys, including the pitcher, in front of Harper is usually a really really bad thing, but Niese got through it

Whew x5

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, them's not usually the ingredients in a tasty meal. Niese taunting that Harper guy.

[Zvon]

Damn. I guess holding Zimm to singles is a good thing.

[Edgy MD]

Lousy, cheap-ass Yunel singles.

[Edgy MD]

Bloated and no out. Wilson F. Ramos in the box.

[Zvon]

Bases Natified, no out. Time for the ol' triple play.

[Zvon]

Or that....

[Lefty Specialist]

Okay, so it was the fourth inning for the meltdown.

[nymr83]

I am officially on board with Colon over Niese in the 4th game of a potential playoff series.

Grumble grumble. Jerk store. Grumble.

But hey, bases are clear... oh, wait.

One bridge at a time, man.

[Gwreck]

Forget the playoffs, I'm not convinced Niese makes his next scheduled start.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

When Niese goes bad, he does so quickly. Thank goodness Scherzer sacrifices so the hit parade is temporarily halted.

Unfortunately, only temporarily and for the briefest of moments.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Niese is a turd. This suxxx.

[Zvon]

Ugh. Niese done. At least he's the only one to blame this time. What a bad time to really suck.

[Zvon]

Oh, I can see Niese in the dugout apoligizing to the entire bench for his suckatude in a very animated manner.
