I had this score on my 'Grid' bet for the day ... hope there's no more scoring.

So who pitches the ninth? My guess: Montero.

Warthen.

That's now 25 runs scored in the last 13 innings, the last 5 innings yesterday plus today's 8.

[Edgy MD]

I think there's some psychological value to completing the shutout. So you don't want to waste your best pitchers, but you don't want to just run out your worst, I think.

I suspect that's why Terry gave the eighth to Salas. A compromise pick.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's Blevins. I'll have to check the rules but I think this probably isn't a save situation.

[Edgy MD]

Blevvy is the perfect choice.

If it was, Mushnick's head would explode.

Ultimate Mets Database Facebook page wrote: The Mets just completed a 17-0 victory over the Phillies at Citi Field, in their last home game of the regular season. Here are some fun facts inspired by the final score of the game: Today's game was the 12th time that the Mets have scored 17 or more runs in a game, and the fifth time that the Mets scored exactly that amount. Before today, the last time the Mets scored this many runs was in a 17-1 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field on June 27, 2012. It's the most lopsided shutout win in Mets history, but not the biggest margin of victory that the Mets have ever had. That record was set on May 26, 1964, when the Mets beat the Cubs 19-1, also at Wrigley Field. The biggest previous shutout wins were 14-0, which happened twice: July 29, 1965 against the Cubs (at Wrigley Field!) and April 19, 1998 against the Reds at Riverfront Stadium. This ties the record for most runs ever scored by the Mets in a home game. On July 8, 2006 they defeated the Marlins 17-3 at Shea Stadium. The Mets are 12-0 in games in which they've scored 17 or more runs.

Totally this.

Can I steal all that for my blogthing? There has to be a card for this game. Maybe 17 cards if I can find the pics.
Great game. That's the way to close the season at home.

Just heard the Mattingly interview on the radio. I don't think I want to see it.
I'm still shaking my head over the loss.

Go ahead! Steal! I got no monopoly on the facts!

I'm not afraid to admit that I really like Curtis Granderson. The team would have been a lot worse off without him the past two seasons.

How can you not like this guy. He has been the most valuable Met (not named Cespedes) this season.

Hey, Mets, can you loan the Jets a couple of those touchdowns?

Yea, but I was going to just cut and paste it. You type it, you get the credit (ill credit the MDB). I hope to add it to todays post.

The upswing started right after this.

When the game ended, I checked the Jets score. That was 17-0, too.

Sophie enjoyed her first tailgate, even if it was a short stay and she's ticketed for a different Ivy.




"17 runs! This is better than last time when Matz debuted and got all those hits!"

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yawwwww. A door, a bull.
