The damn thing is over!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Whew!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Nice time for a first career homer!

[Edgy MD]

T.J. Rivera became a man tonight.

But it was the right move. That was the one AB -- Maybe all year!! -- that Murph has looked overmatched.

That game was fan fuckin tastic. These guys make it hard for me to maintain my weeknight sobriety, some days.

Vulture win for Familia. He's gonna have to buy dinner for Thor.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Great win! Too bad T.J. Rivera will be too hung over to play tomorrow.

[Frayed Knot]

Tonight turning out to be just the opposite of last night: Pirates win, Marlins win, Mets win, Cardinals win

Giants are still scoreless in the 4th inning. Dodgers lost which pulls them back a game to the WC pack regardless of what SF does and with SF & LA still having six games vs each other, not seeing the Dodgers run away with the West might matter later on.

Got home after the game to find that MMYF had replaced my plain old Mets blue mouse pad with one that pictures lots of bats and baseballs. (Non team specific)
Its a good thing they won, or I would have blamed her for the loss. Now, that new mouse pad is staying right here.

He's my Bronx Homey. He can handle it.

Some game, huh?

[Zvon]

What
a
fuckin
game.


And a must win in my book. I hope TJ goes on a tear. Looks like a hitter. I like the .300 bit Edgy posted. But what's up w/his arm? He looked strange throwing to first a few times.

Dusty Baker, quoted at espn.com:

""Blevins has been around a long time," Dusty Baker said, trying not to act shocked that Mr. Met-killer came up short. "They know Murph as well as Murph knows them. It's a situation where they got Murph tonight, but Murph's gotten them many, many, many, many, many, many times."

What a jackass. I can't wait for the Dodgers to beat them in the NLDS preserving WSH's record of never winning a playoff series. And today I get to sit among their stupid, unknowledgeable, craft beer swilling, Blackberry checking, frontrunning fans.

[Edgy MD]

I understand. He's pumping his player up in a down movement. Murph does have a lot feel good about and he's reminding him.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

This was only the second game this season that was saved by somebody other than Jeurys Familia. (Addison Reed had one save earlier this season.)

There will be a loud and vocal Mets contingent, don't worry.

Although Kristy Ackert didn't touch that angle in her game piece, the Daily News headline writer tried to spin the Rivera heroism as vindication for Backman.

It's a tall order, but The News would love to turn the Backman firing into Willywhack II.

So... Loney should probably be getting a handshake and Shake Shack gift certificate today, along with his long- overdue walking papers, no?

Why?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Because of his association with Wally Backman? Or has Lucas Duda made a dramatic return to the clubhouse?
