STIGT, 3/19, MIA@NYM @StLoo

[Edgy MD]

A whole bunch of Kevin Kaczmarskis out there as the Mets trail 7-0. deGrom started strong and then got hit hard in the sixth. Roseboom gave up an inherited run and two runs of his own, while retiring nobods.

Goeddel gave up a run plus a runner bequeathed to him, but Montero had a strong inning, and I suspect Montero is ahead in the race for the fifth righthander out of the pen.

Two-out eighth-inning triple by Taijeron may be the first real highlight for the Mets. Kelly up trying to plate him.

[Edgy MD]

Kelly and Zabala did their job, walking to set up Champ Stuart, but the House of Stuart fell, as champ reached for a pitch outside and grounded out.

Not a glorious day for the Empire.

[Edgy MD]

A Woodmansee double down the line and it's second and third with none out in the ninth.

They may score after all. J.C. Rodriguez at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Rodriguez walks to load the bases for Matt Oberste. (Pronounced OH-burs-tee.)

[Edgy MD]

And he singles home one!

Xorge at the plate!

[Edgy MD]

Bounces a doubleplay ball and IT GETS BY BUCKNER! TWO-RUN ERROR! STILL NONE OUT!

Taijeron back at the plate ...

[Edgy MD]

Twelve-pitch at-bat, but warrior Taijeron goes down looking at a slider on the inside part of the plate.

Marlins go to the pen. Ty Kelly due up but the fans are chanting for Tebow.

[Edgy MD]

Kelly drops a single into left field! It's 7-4!

Tying run at the plate in the form of ... Blake Tiberi!

OHMYGAWD!

[Edgy MD]

Tiberi, who spent last summer playing mediocre third base for Brooklyn, grounds to third, but beats out the double play. Mets are alive!

Champ Stuart back at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

STUART RIPS A TWO-STRIKE PITCH TO LEFT!

METS WITHIN TWO!

TYING RUN ON FIRST!

WOODMANSEE IS THE WINNING RUN AT THE PLATE!

[Edgy MD]

AND HE GOES DOWN LOOKING!

METS LOSE!

BUT THEY SAVE FACE!

Just not with faces that anyone would recognize.
