IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

[Edgy MD]

Frickin' DeJong.

[Frayed Knot]

Wheeler retired 15 of the first 18 he faced, and then 2 of the next (final) 9

Friggin Terry.

Wheeler should not have been back out for the 6th inning after walk-fest showed he couldn't find the plate

[Frayed Knot]

Robles coming in ... are we taking odds on a 1st pitch HR?

I was close.

[Edgy MD]

Sheesh. Welcome back, Hansel.

[Edgy MD]

Somebody get Reyes some oxygen!

[Edgy MD]

There's your strategy. Keep hitting it to Fowler.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's get Hansel and undeserved win here.

[Edgy MD]

Shouldn't this be Grandy's at-bat?

[Frayed Knot]

And STILL no hits w/RiSP!!

Speaking of which, the reason why the Sawx have sucked so bad vs the Yanx this year? Because they're [u:2hrfylo9]2-for-51[/u:2hrfylo9] w/RiSP on the season!!

Sewald, though. Sometimes, people put the lie to the "fact" that spring numbers lie.

Hey! Ex-Met sighting.

[Edgy MD]

First-pitch ball to Duda, and then three strikeouts on nine pitches.

Not the sort of highlight I was looking for.

[Edgy MD]

This game may be the Mets' all-time record-holder for Archie Bell references.

[Frayed Knot]

Cecil came into the game with a one run lead on Sunday in Pitt: 1B, GO, RBI-2B, GO, IW, RBI-1B ... Ballgame!

Of course that was against a team who gets, y'know, hits and stuff with runners on base.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Were I a Best Fan In Baseball, Matheny's presence in the dugout would not fill me with confidence.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Here we go

[Edgy MD]

Money time, Yo.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Booooooooooooo

[Edgy MD]

Now, give me money.

[Frayed Knot]

Losses like this wouldn't happen if Yeonis Cespedes were still alive and playing.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Cespedes is killing this team.

And not for nothing, another game lost when the 1-out assignment becomes a 1 walk assignment. I sorta knew.

[Edgy MD]

And what an refusal to acknowledge what Jay Bruce has given this team this year, that Céspedes hasn't, giving Yoenis the 3-0 green light.
