IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

[A Boy Named Seo]

Ynoa doesn't look good. I mean his Abe Lincoln beard, of course, but the pitching part is shaky, too.

[Edgy MD]

Y'know a good time to start warming up another pitcher?

[Centerfield]

And yet again Terry waits too long to bring the hook.

Understandable though, considering he only has 38 relievers left in the pen.

[Centerfield]

And an off-day coming up.

I'm following on Gamecast.

How close was that double to being a game-tying GS?

Off the top of the wall. Couple of feet, tops.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Purdy damn close!

[Edgy MD]

Punch back, Mets offense.

[Edgy MD]

Asdouble!

That's the attitude! Fighting spirit!

[Edgy MD]

And some artificial Cespiration. Very nice.

[Guest d'Kong76]

In a word, fucking sweep! Ok, in two....

[Frayed Knot]

The film of this game ain't headed for Cooperstown ... but it's a sweep and that's all we needed.
Suck on that scoreboard watchers in StL & SF!!

It really is about time the Pirates won a game.

[Centerfield]

Amazing job Mets. I love playing in Cincy.

Nothing better than an afternoon win to put the pressure on.

Thank god we won. Imagine if they blew that lead and we had to think about it for two days.

I also give Foltynewicz and the Braves permission to jump all over Strasburg and the Nats.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Great. That was a game that around the 4th or 5th inning, I thought we could easily fumble due to missed opps. This team is weird and somehow winning!

[ashie62]

1/2 game out!

Flores's shot today was the team's 12th. The Cards have a ridiculous 15 (including last night's 2-out/2-strike game-tying blow) and are getting an even more ridonculous .347 BA from their PH's
NL league BA from PH's = .221; Mets = .202

That 12th pinch homer ties the club record set by Bambi's Bandits in 1983 (Heep, 4; Staub, 3; Bradley, 3; Foster, 1; Kingman, 1; Jorgensen, 1).

I believe we are tied with the Cards.
