Morning baseball, like we're out west! I was gonna start today's IGT
but if I were the one to do it they'd run their quill pens through it. I'm
obnoxious and disliked you know that sir!

Yeah, you're not alone in that, Mr. Adams.

Have the Mets ever had a start before noon?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Does Japan count?

[Lefty Specialist]

More like mourning baseball, if you ask me.

Yes. Details here: http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2013/07/10/leaders-of-the-midnight-baseball-league/

That's great stuff.

For a few minutes there, I couldn't reconcile the 10:35 start time in Pittsburgh with the Mets playing at 10:35 EST.

And then I realized, duh, Pittsburgh is in the Eastern Standard Time zone. Intellectually I knew that, but I think divisional re-alignment has confused me, and I guess I just subconsciously figured that all Central Division baseball teams must be in Central Time, as if the international time zone commission defers to MLB.

[Edgy MD]

Sore-hip Granderson returns to the Mets lineup, so we don't need to wait until the ninth for our Curtis Blow.

Céspedes sitting out the MGaaNG.

Who's playing in the "A" game over on the main field at one o'clock?

[G-Fafif]

Grandy sits, it turns out. T.J.'s the left fielder.

And Jose Reyes is a highly rated morning man.

[G-Fafif]

For the record:

Reyes SS
Cabby 2B
Bruce RF
T.J. LF
Duda 1B
Flores 3B
R. Rivera C
Nimmo CF
Seth P

[Edgy MD]

T.J. Rivera, big league cleanup hitter.

[Edgy MD]

Seventeen pitches through two innings for Seth Lugo, the greatest AM pitcher in Mets history.

[Edgy MD]

Stop LOBbing, Mets. We could be up by five.

[Edgy MD]

Shmikey. Tie game.

Bunting for hits is for winners.

[ashie62]

Jose at it again.

[Edgy MD]

AM Lugo was more successful than PM Lugo.

[ashie62]

I turn it on and heck breaks loose.

[ashie62]

T..J Rivera, professional ballplayer.

[ashie62]

[bigpurple:1od894zh]RENE![/bigpurple:1od894zh]

[ashie62]

I hope Cespedes' "hamstring cramp" is just that.

[Edgy MD]

Four runs home in the fifth inning.

Thank Heavens for rundowns or we wouldn't have any outs yet.

[Lefty Specialist]

Ya know, if you can't beat the team you're supposedly trying to catch, it makes catching them a whole lot harder.

Beep...beep.....beep........................

[Guest d'Kong76]

11 o'clock games suck.

[seawolf17]

I really believed we'd come out of this series like YEAH HERE WE COME, NATS. So much for that.

[Edgy MD]

Don't throw this Blake Treinin stuff at us.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets aren't good baseballers this year.

Among other things, defense is bad all around.

[Edgy MD]

Letting Ollie finish.

Swinging 2-0. Bleh.
