IGT - NLDS Game 1 - Mets at Dodgers - 10/9/15, 9:45 PM EDT

[Frayed Knot]

Caution for DVR'ers, the 6:30 PM start for the Cubs/Cards is likely to bleed into the 9:30 start for our game making it a decent chance that we'll start over on TNT and then pick up in progress on TBS.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I'm totally down with this road team winning trend and hope it continues through Friday and Saturday.

[Elster88]

Did the game start yet? Let's goooooo

[Benjamin Grimm]

And a pleasant good morning everybody!

Have the Mets yet released the official report on whether or not Jacob deGrom slept funny?

14 hours and 40 minutes to go!

[Gwreck]

In all seriousness, roster deadline is 1:00 PM EDT. Steven Matz expected to make the roster but Sean Gilmartin traveled with the team in case he doesn't.

It probably sucks an additional amount to be left off as the 26th guy. Everyone else just went to Florida, Gilmartin literally is hanging out in Dodgerland with the team, drinking in the hype and he's going to wake up today and they're gonna be all like "Nah, get out of here."

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

I have no faith in Hawkman in the pen. I could live with Gilmartin getting the nod ahead of him, especially in a short series.

Overture! Curtains! Lights!
This is it! The night of nights!
No more rehearsing and nursing our parts
We know every part by heart!

Overture! Curtains! Lights!
This is it! You'll hit the heights!
And oh what heights we'll hit
On with the show this is it!

[Fman99]

I hat waiting.

[Gwreck]

Indeed. Although it helps that there are other games going on today at least.

Baseball junkie's delight today starting at 12:30 and may last a
full twelve hours depending on length of our game.

[Benjamin Grimm]

9 hours and 41 minutes!

In the shorter term, the decision on Matz or Gilmartin is due in another 56 minutes.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Holy shit, I'm going to the game! Hopefully I won't get stabbed by a bunch of Raider fans. #pray4jake #LGM

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nice! Congratulations!

[Edgy MD]

80 pitches in a simulated game and didn't have to be carried off. I'm guessing Matz is getting the call.

You gotta like that both of Ron's kids come on to defend their dad using the same insult tactic.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Gaaah! Severe thunderstorm warning for my area until 8 p.m. If the power goes out I'm going to have to figure out what to do!

An extra, and unwelcome, element of suspense has been added to this evening.

KILL KILL KILL

[Zvon]

I don't know how I feel this close to gametime. There's a subdued excitement. It's like I don't want to get too excited. It's only the opening game. But this is postseason!
Having company for the game so I'll catch you guyz after. No live cards tonight

I'm just gonna take in the game and enjoy this.

LETS GO METS!!!!!!

kill KILL KILL!!!
