The other team has no runs so ... no!

You've been Sea-Walled

That was some dandy pitching there by the pen in the 8th. I'd still like to see them get another insurance run or 3 here.

[Edgy MD]

The ball is going through Maldonado's glove.

[Edgy MD]

Doo-Doo did not go around on strike two.

[Edgy MD]

Or strike three. Jeeps.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Has that Jim Beam sign been in the CF stands all season?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think so.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Boooooks

[Fman99]

Put it in the books!

Mets win and we didn't have to break out Thin Lizzy yet!

[bmfc1]

Perhaps Terry shouldn't touch his mouth before shaking hands with 25 people.

[Guest cooby]

Woo hoo hoo! Killed a stink bug and Mets win!!!

[Frayed Knot]

You shouldn't kill stink bugs. The smell they give off when you kill them is what attracts other stink bugs.
But if you think it's somehow connected to the Mets tossing a shutout ... then squish away!

[Guest cooby]

I could stay busy for hours...

[Frayed Knot]

Meanwhile, the Yanx lost their game in Tampa on a late run and the Nats just lost to Atlanta, also on some late runs off the pen.
Yeah the (suddenly hot) Braves are ahead of us also, but I think it's best if they get the better of Washington this weekend to tighten the whole division up.

Cast your vote!

It's nice to see that Matt Harvey has taken up fishing on his days off.

[Edgy MD]

So, if Reyes didn't net that ball on the second stab, how awful would it be in Metsworld this morning?

Depends on what kind of bounce it took. Still maybe time for a force play even if he drops it, certainly at 2nd and maybe even at home (and maybe a DP?!?)
But if it skittered into no-man's land ... then, yeah, things coulda gotten ugly. And on such twists of fate managers' seats get hotter or colder.
