IGT-08/29-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

[Guest d'Kong76]

So much the 30 second thing, oh wait, it's Donnie telling the
ump what's going on... 44 seconds. (not to pick nits)

[Lefty Specialist]

Not liking our chances with no position players and only shaky bullpen pitchers left.

Secondary nits.

Got 'em right where we want 'em...

[Fman99]

Smoker looking much improved. Top o' the order, c'mon, boys. Papa wants his bed.

[Lefty Specialist]

Need a dinger here. Keith's getting anxious about getting home late.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Move the fences in 2017!

[Guest themetfairy]

Cespedes!

[Zvon]

How kool was that?!! Gone off the bat! & fuck you Ichiro.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe everybody is going to heal overnight tonight, but how about some post-game transactions or transgressions or transvestites or something so Terry has something resembling a real roster tomorrow?

[Guest themetfairy]

Here's to you Yo!

John Maine is probably available.

[Centerfield]

Cuba! Fuck yeah!

[Centerfield]

(Why would you pitch to Cespedes there? Wtf)

I'm not sure where the Fuck Ichiro came from. But if repeating it helps the Mets win, its as good a mantra as any.

[Edgy MD]

Heckuva well played game. With almost no margin for error, they somehow hung in there long enough for the big blow.

And, lest it go unsaid, the toughest pitcher in the division matched up against an absolute shot in the dark out of AA.

[Edgy MD]

St. Louis ... they won.

Washington ... won as well.

But Miami surely lost, and that ain't nothing. And everybody thank your newest, bestest buddies, the Colorado Rockies, for beating the Dodgers so far, 6-0 after seven.

And your other buddies tonight, surprisingly, are the Cubs, who just tried it up against Pittsburgh in the bottom of the ninth.

Because the toughest thing in hitting is still getting to 1st base so you don't want to award the potential winning run with a free pass there ... even when it's Cespedes.

[nymr83]

Cespedes again. wow. Don't think I've ever been so wrong about thinking a guy couldn't repeat a career year.

Big kudos due also to Gilmartin & Smokie, who each threw good innings when a bad one wouldn't be entirely unexpected. Especially Gilmartin. If there was a moment I felt like a crappy Mets team would break it was then.

"Must C" video. C is for Cespedes.

[ashie62]

YA GOTTA BELIEVE!

[Frayed Knot]

And, after we all crashed last night, the Pirates wound us losing to the Cubs in the 13th, giving up 2 runs to lose it after taking the lead in the top half. This was all after the Pirates had given up two in the 8th then one more in the 9th just to send it to extras.
Hmmmm, ya think maybe dealing off Mark Melancon for a mediocre lefty and some 22 y/o in A-ball in the midst of a pennant race wasn't such a good idea after all?


So, in the great WC chase of 2016, last night's win means that we caught one team that started yesterday ahead of us (MIA), gained a game on another (PIT), gained a half game on one (SFG), and stayed neutral with one (StL)
Also brought the Dodgers one game closer in case they should happen to stumble out of the West lead and back into the WC shuffle.

Third outing in three days for Smoker too.
Good thing the calls to demote them both (or maybe it was deport them, I forget) after rough outings last week went unheeded.

[Lefty Specialist]

One thing about Montero's start was that he was definitely getting squeezed by the ump (in fairness, both pitchers were). With a bigger strike zone he might have gone longer.

Good thing they won it in the 10th, because any longer would have been a disaster.
