He just asked Harvey's one-time coach the same question three times in a row, just changed the phrasing slightly.
I thought it took amazing patience on the coach's part not to grab the mic out of Gelbs' hand and conk him with it.

[Lefty Specialist]

Harvey not sharp at all. But he muddles through 3.

[smg58]

Credit where credit is due: Bourgeois makes a super over-the-fence catch to rob Murphy.

[Zvon]

As far as I'm concerned Muff hit a homer in this game.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Flores Flashin'!!!

[Zvon]

hA! great DP. Muffy with the flying I don't give a shit where this ball goes turn at second.

Actually, great turn.

[Zvon]

Is Matt just gonna bat? Gary says he'll cleary pitch the 6th but I'm still uncertain.

[Zvon]

If Harvey stepped up and vetoed the plan I'm going to have to do a little more than just tip my cap to him.

[Zvon]

I really, really like this. I even said on the phone last night to my brother that Harvey should step up and say gimme the 6th. And if he's effective, go for the 7th...&....they'll never keep him in for 9. But this extra inning is very important, I feel. Stay away from the back of the pen if possible.

[smg58]

Is anybody else kind of rooting for the Nats to win today since it looks like that game will be done first?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Johnny Lunchbucket and I are hoping they win today so the Mets can clinch with a avictory over the Reds today.

It's nice to have enough breathing room to feel secure to pull for the Nationals, if only for a day.

Hellzyea.

I got that on the TV cause I get Comcast/Philly. This games on the PC.

1-0 Nats

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm definitely rooting for Washington and it feels very strange.

[ashie62]

The promised land is close.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Phillies tied with Washington now. Extra Innings would be okay too.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Time to turn off the distortion box and stretch...

The Phillies have tied the Nationals in the top of the 8th. I hoping for extra innings, so the Mets can win and clinch the division before the Phillies rally to beat the demoralized Nationals in, oh, the 15th inning.

Yeah! That's the ticket.

[Elster88]

I love you Gary but Harvey didn't have a big smile on his face at any moment there. Stop projecting.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Harvey must have been on a pitch count (rather than innings) today.

[ashie62]

I believe Harvey is compensating for perceived pussiness.

If that's indeed the case I really like it. Matt was half in my doghouse. Like his head was in there and his ass was sticking out.

[Edgy MD]

Sounds like a party at Fman's in his single days.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Starting to feel fairly confident!

Was listening to the game on my MLB ap while walking on a rails to trails park we have here. Made eight miles fly by!

The booth was going nuts when Harvey came out for the seventh.

[Frayed Knot]

No need to root for the Nats to win, just for them to take longer to lose.

[smg58]

And now the party is ON!!!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

WRIGHT-KABOOM!!!!!!

[Zvon]

[Edgy MD]

Wright. That is all.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Okay, let's finish thing off so the real party can get started.
