Cabby drives in 2 to get us on the board.

I have to do up Cabby like the new Joker. I wouldn't have to do all that much photoshoppin'.

Not even close.

The debate has infiltrated twitter! NOOOOOOOO!

Hillary's hair looks nice. That's all I can say about this debate. Got it on TV tho, GKR in one ear and the debate in the other.

6-0 with Cincy still batting with runners on in the 4th

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Mets on 1st & 2nd to open the 6th. Come on Bruce, pretend you're a Red.

8-0

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Marlins have walked the bases full with Duda due up to face the left hander. Hopefully, Terry will let Lucas take his cuts. He can make this a game with one swing.Let him take his hacks Terry.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn.

Now it's up to the bench (who shall it be?) to come through with 2 outs.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Um, you're supposed to make the opposition pay for walks. The Mets get three walks in the inning and still can't score. Definitely not their night.

[Frayed Knot]

Those are the type of chances you can't blow after digging yourself a big hole.


On the plus side it's 10-1 Reds in the 5th

14-1 and Cincy is still batting in the 5th!

[Edgy MD]

A scoreless inning from Montero. That's ... not ... nothing.

[Edgy MD]

Pretty effective slurve, that Bearclaw guy throws.

[Edgy MD]

Nonetheless, tying run on deckles.

[Edgy MD]

Ouch, De Az. Whatchoolookinat?

[seawolf17]

Psst! Edge! You're in the wrong thread.

[seawolf17]

This would be a very different game if Terry had gotten Colon out of there on time.

[Fman99]

Heavy. Damn.

[Zvon]

Wow, I like what they did here at the end. RIP Jose Fernandez.

I understand that tonight was tough for all parties but maybe tomorrow, the Mets can play some baseball and Terry can manage from inning one.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Very moving tribute by the players there.

[Zvon]

It was an Indian Ritual? (per KH) That was a very nice touch. If this was tough on us and baseball, imagine his family and friends. And the family & friends of the other two lost. Devastating. There's a hole there that will never go away.

Ed pulls a "Zvon".

[Edgy MD]

Thread stitched back together. Sorry gents. Attempting to follow sad game and debate insanity simultaneously.

[bmfc1]

Sad backstory on last night's HP umpire. He had a heavy heart, too. Perhaps someone else should have been behind the plate.

Well, I never like to see the Mets lose, but if ever there was a night in which it didn't bother me too much, it was last night. Touching ceremony and the Marlins were playing with such emotion, they were on a mission to win for their departed teammate and friend.

Much like the game against the Braves following 9/11, it was only fitting that the Mets ultimately won. Now tonight, it's time for the Mets to get back on track and win.

[G-Fafif]

The Braves were in the process of fending off the Phillies when they lost the game of 9/21/01. Philadelphia drew to within a half-game of them that night, while the Mets pulled to within 4 1/2. They were tied with Philly for the division lead as late as the succeeding Monday, 9/24, before winning their seventh consecutive N.L. East title by two games.

I don't know if their years-later comments about it being OK the Mets won for New York that night were rooted in perspective or they truly felt that way when it happened. 2001 wasn't a runaway for them by any means. They needed the game of September 21. They didn't get it. They survived.

I wasn't the least bit happy the Mets lost their game last night. I'm glad the Marlins won their game. though. Too bad it had to be the same game. But the Mets can survive, too.

In the meantime, thank you, Reds.

Absolutely!

[Centerfield]

This math is too hard for me. Did our chances of clinching a wild card slot (any slot) increase despite the loss?
