IGT Laborious Day Game Day 9/7 Mets vs Nats

[Zvon]

It'll be Jeurys for the 9th.

[Frayed Knot]

Do NOT let the tying run come to the plate!!

[Edgy MD]

Man, don't be throwing 0-2 fastballs around the plate.

[Edgy MD]

That's it, man. Slider.

[Zvon]

Wow. Makes Rendon look like a fool. 1 out.

[Frayed Knot]

Nats have a ton of 2-strike hits today, including the biggie by Ramos.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Whew! Getting past Harper is huge! I certainly feel Much better now.

[Zvon]

Bryce K!!!!! 2 out!!!

Rendon and Harper have a lot of not-hits today.

sinking darts at 96mph. Familia is a monster.

Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria.

[Edgy MD]

Wow. That took all hands on deck.

[bigpurple:29ahag1o]HUGE[/bigpurple:29ahag1o] win!


With the series ending in a 1 - 3 - 5 or 7 game lead, 1 has just been taken out of the equation.

There's no way the Mets would or could have come back to win this game during April, May, June and most of July.

What a turn around for this team! I have watched 90% of the Mets' games this year and I really didn't think it was possible back then that they could play as well as they have the last several weeks.

I was wrong. What a game. LGM!

Mets win!!! Great comeback victory!

[Frayed Knot]

The IGT had it right, this certainly was a laborious game.

[Zvon]

In all my years hanging with you guys I don't think I have ever seen a more competitive, determined, well rounded and resilient Mets team. That goes back ten years. Remarkable!

And not just the comeback, but the Nats were shut out for 8 of the 9 innings including 5.2 scoreless by various penners who were pressed into service, some in less than ideal situations.
5.2 IP, 0 Runs, 3 hits (all singles), 1 BB, 9 Ks by the pen in all.

Scherzer + 1 disaster inning by your staff almost always = Loss
Not today.

Tremendous win!

Was listening via the MLB app on our way home from Northern Michigan and almost drove off the road after the grannie. Love that this team battles to get back!

We were both right.
Mets led, Niese gagged it up.
And, you just missed by one inning.

You wouldn't happen to have Pete Rose's phone number, would you?
We could make some serious coin when Niese pitches.

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, you just KNOW Rose plays at DraftKings.com.

There has to be serious thought given to leaving Niese off the (potential) playoff roster at this point.

[Centerfield]

Like I mentioned last week. 8-5 is a glorious score. Happy it held up. I imagine the Nats are hating 8-5 right about now.

What a pleasant score to turn on after a 3 hour plane ride.

[Centerfield]

Reply on RIGHT NOW. Mets done 5-3. Let's see if they can come back again.

[Lefty Specialist]

I turned it on too. So much easier to enjoy without the pressure. Oh, and I also have no life.

Damn, Carlos Torres hurt himself.

I'm there. I say throw Matz in there but then I'm stupid.
