Separated at birth? Eric Goeddel and Aaron Heilman?

[Zvon]

So lil d' is back and Gee is going for the World Champs?
And Colon gets hurt? WTF else could go wrong this season?

I have to close this and see if the game streams better. I rebooted the modem and everything. We did have a super bad storm blow thru here a few hours ago. Maybe that's a factor.

OR: Oh that's what Edge meant by in your face Reyes. Niiiiice.

The five-inning rule doesn't apply to Hansel as he's not the starter here and is the pitcher of record as long as the Mets hold onto the lead.

[seawolf17]

It still bothers me that it's pronounced Ho-SHAVER.

[Edgy MD]

Uncharacteristically low strikeout numbers (2) for Mets batters tonight. Instead, a lot of warning track flies.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, lotsa fly outs tonight. Which beats Sunday when there were lots of [u:ut2tzylp]Infield[/u:ut2tzylp] pop-ups for outs, but only slightly.

[Edgy MD]

Hard hit balls all night off the bat of Cabrera.

[Frayed Knot]

The Mets last hit with a RiSP was the 5th inning last Thursday when Neil Walker doubled in a runner from 3rd
Since then they are 0 for 24: the final 6 such ABs on Thursday, 0 for 7 on Friday, 0 for 8 Saturday, and in Sunday's game they just cut the suspense by not actually getting a runner as far as 2nd. Monday there was no game so we had the same opportunities as Sunday and they're 0 for 3 tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Kablammos.

W's a W, I suppose. Great job by the pen to keep it together.

[Fman99]

Yep, seriously good work by the pen. Note that that coincides with Bastardo not being used.

[Centerfield]

Hansel's interpreter is not nearly as cute as Yoenis's.

Barely, although Argentina out-scored the Mets overall.

[Edgy MD]

Somehow, C�spedes' homer in the fourth kept slipping Gary's mind in the top of the fifth, and all through the Royals' rally, he kept referring to the lead runner as "the tying run." Even as he scored, Gary declared the game tied, before finally correcting himself, likely at the muted prompting of one of his colleagues.

It's like that last series made fatalists of every last holdout.

Was able to watch this on replay.
Incredible Colons thumb wasn't broken. He took a bullet.
The pen was masterful. Robles was HUGE. This was an encouraging win.

[Zvon]

I also wanted to mention that d'Arnauds cut down @ 2nd on the attempted SB was very nice to see. That was also a bullet.
