IGT - NLCS Game 2 - Cubs at Mets - Sun, 10/18/15, 8:07 PM

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I hope the Mets offense robs Familia of a possible save opportunity.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm going to give Tyler Clippard a gallon of gas, because he's my new best friend.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I like Ron's idea, bunt...

It would start to break up some of these incessant shifts. Unfortunately, I think bunting is a lost art and most hitters seem incapable of bunting reliably.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Murphy strikes again.

[batmagadanleadoff]

That's it? Just a single?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oringinal Recipe MurphTM single, there.

[batmagadanleadoff]

The New and Improved does spoil a fella.

Lazy fly ball, not a line drive

Familia in for the 9th. I approve. A one inning save followed by a day off.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Here we go!! Let's hope Familia's arm doesn't fall off.

[Zvon]

Familia must be like, "only 1 inning? Piece of cake."

[Elster88]

I'll take the blown out elbow with a side of a rotator cuff tear. To go

Billy the Mouth of the South's Mets postseason save record is on the line.

One down!

[Elster88]

Reed, Clippard, Familia is a pretty filthy seventh-eighth-ninth combo

[Piggiestomatoes]

Ernie keeps calling Cal, Ironman. I guess that's because you can't say "Dumb Fuck" on basic cable.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Arrieta looks positively haunted in that dugout. Probably just thinking of Antietam again.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Aw, hell, that sucked.

[Valadius]

Oh, Duda...

[Zvon]

Ugh,...Duda.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Rizzo hustles to turn a sure out into a infield single. It appeared that Familia forgot to cover first base on the grounder to Duda.

[Valadius]

Two down!

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Lucas getting it done on defense too.

[Fman99]

Solid work by Flores to get the runner. One out left to git.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Was that really a brainfart/lack-of-hustle there? I mean, Rizzo's a fast dude, and was running hard on a high-bounding chopper that Duda fielded at least fifteen feet behind the bag.

Anyway, two down now.

Yep. LETS GO METS!!!!!!!!

I watched most of this game in a Boston bar where one TV had the NLCS and the rest (and the surround sound audio) played the Patriots game. Even football commentary is better than Ripken.

[Piggiestomatoes]

I won't put that on Duda. Oh, and slow rollers suck when you're looking to turn two.

[Valadius]

One more strike!
