Ha! Just when I thought I had TC figured out. Shoulda batted Matz 8th today. That might have been useful.

Ronnie is doing the TBS broadcast (light blue polo).

[Zvon]

Gah. I didn't wanna have to update this. Murphy hits another. Unbelieveable.

2-0 WashNats

[Edgy MD]

It's Murphuly.

[Edgy MD]

Walking Taylor on four pitches is ... troublesome.

[Edgy MD]

Somehow they survive that inning without a scratch.

Reyes trying to recapture his leadoff homer record.

[Edgy MD]

Professional at-bat by De Az results in a baserunner.

He's performing a little.

[Zvon]

lil bit. That hadda hurt bad.

[Frayed Knot]

One thing that would help a whole lot would be to stop walking Werth each and every fucking time he comes to the plate.

[Guest d'Kong76]

De F Aza

[Zvon]

Ugh, Gelbs, how about picking up the call in a timely and thorough manner.

Reyes with another kaBOOM. I have some Reyes kaBOOMS, pretty sure.
OO, a special one .

[Edgy MD]

Jos�'s got old guy skillz now.

[Frayed Knot]

Note to Keith: You've got more than ten pounds to lose.

[Edgy MD]

Note to Mets: Gio hasn't been good for several weeks.

[bmfc1]

But he gets to face this lineup including 3 OF'ers who aren't hitting.

[Edgy MD]

Granderson has certainly been hitting, and I implore him to do so now.

Hey, we slayed that dragon Murph.

Now I think they are just trying to get you all riled FK.

DP! YAY!

Granderson gets such a bad rap around here despite being the Mets' best free agent hitting acquisition since Carlos Beltran, what did he do wrong?

[Guest d'Kong76]

I love these unis and no orange dots. Just sayin'.
Continue talking amongst yerselfs...

I was going to say 'Not be Carlos Beltran' but then I remembered that lots of Mets fans didn't like Beltran either so there's probably nothing he could do.

I'm with you '83. Even his usually down months of April & May he was producing. I understand the noodle arm in right business but not why folks are down on him overall.

[bmfc1]

I love Granderson but wouldn't mind him getting some hits today.

[Edgy MD]

Matz getting better as the day rolls on.

Metz need to get better too.

[Zvon]

I almost feel for De Aza, who has been pummeled by baseballs all day.

Almost.

[bmfc1]

On the verge of losing 6 of 7 to WSH, I hardly feel for any of them. de Aza is so bad he can't even get hit by a pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

So basically the remainder of this game will be an exercise in
a) whether we can hold the Nats to no more runs
and
whether we can hit two more solo HRs

[Zvon]

Nice catch by De Aza. Credit:due. I will support you if you do useful things.
