Colon (7-4, 3.28) vs. Hellickson (6-6, 3.92)

It's not just being 6 games back of WSH, it's being ahead of 3 of these 4 teams: LAD, MIA, STL, PIT.

STL plays the Fish and PIT plays the Nats this weekend. So it'll be an interesting couple of days.

Of course, but the quest should be the division title.

Wild Card is a mid-September word.

Agreed. I don't even look at those standings before the break. Usually not until the dog days settle in early August.

[bmfc1]

I haven't given up on the NL East but gotta keep both eyes open. Either way, win tonight.

I work so hard on them.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Everyone knew Yo was hurt, why didn't they just DL him? Tonight he "can't
function on the base-paths." Splendid.

[Zvon]

Bart only needs 4 pitches to get thru the 1st. That's not a typo.

Little purple humpf.

11 pitches for the 2nd. I won't get into how many pitches the Mets aren't looking at. In the 2nd New York came up and said, you wanna hit first pitch Philly? We can hit first pitch too!


[bigpurple:1jvcvl79]LAGARESLONGSHOT![/bigpurple:1jvcvl79]

First pitch. Ha.

1-0 Mets



oe-no h!

415 ft! (id have to check that-tho it was a bomb off the bat), exit vol, 102mph.

[Edgy MD]

I missed you, baseball. Did you miss me?

[Edgy MD]

Loney runs like a tight end.

The tight end you use on running downs, not the receiving guy.

[Zvon]

Phils get their first hit in the 5th. A cheap single.

[Edgy MD]

Thanks for that call, Mr. Ump.

Thanks for the assist, Mr. d'Arnaud.

[Zvon]

4-0, ha, I stepped off. OOOO, Walker. If he can match his 1st half in homers will we forgive him for batting .250?

[Zvon]

Just made my 1st kaBOOM in a coons age. I won't say who but I'll say he hasn't hit one tonight.



Yet.

I don't have a WalkerBOOM? Oy.

[Zvon]

Egh. Errors kill. Great play to start by Loney, but the toss was just a bit high. Colon was focused on the base and it sailed by his glove. Then a Bourjos triple. Literally.

4-1 NY.

Wow, don't see that much. Ball hit Bourjos down the line, but he was standing foul. Ball kicked to fair territory. Just a foul ball.

EEk. Franco generates a run.

4-2 NY.

[Edgy MD]

I approve of Terry holding Col�n out of the All Star Game.

[Edgy MD]

Although... now the tying run is on.

[Zvon]

Double switching out Nimmo w/De Aza? And Colons spot is 2nd nxt inning?

And don't tell me he would have pinch hit De Useless. I don't want to hear that.

Yikes, I'm already all over De Aza, 1st game back. Maybe he comes back a new man after the break.


I might be pissed because the kaBOOM I just made was for Nimmo.

[bmfc1]

Double switches in the 6th inning are too early but Terry's done them in the 5th.

[Zvon]

GJ Robles.

I can't believe we let them get back in this. Colon was cruisin' & then ~~~~~~~

4-3

[Edgy MD]

I think he made the right move.

[Frayed Knot]

But with only one out to get, the double switch allows Robles to pitch the next inning. (responding to the anti-DS crowd)

[Frayed Knot]

Those last two innings really slammed the brakes on this game.
The first four innings flew by in less than an hour, then the 5th & 6th alone took more than that.

oo, I do like that.

Laggy getting leggy. Steals 2nd. And De Azas up. Want out of the doghouse?
