Not sure how this game is going to end, but however it does it's going to be a lot later than last night's.

[Edgy MD]

Don't you walk Myers in that situ ... oh, right, Sanchez.

[Edgy MD]

METS 4 7 1
PADS 4 7 1

[Frayed Knot]

It's all in the wrists!!


That also partially makes up for all those at 'em balls they hit earlier.

Taking the two-run lead on some

Cespedes is a single away from the cycle.

More importantly, his Little League home run gives the Mets the lead again!

Crazy play from the start. Perhaps craziest was that ball landing fair.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice 1-2-3 [u:3khwp2om]8-pitch[/u:3khwp2om] inning from Seaweed.
Makes the double switch look that much better.

[Edgy MD]

This may be Seaweed's best game of the season.

[Frayed Knot]

Six outs on 18 pitches.
Hell, I'd let him pitch the 9th if his spot in the lineup doesn't come up this inning.

RIGHT!

[Edgy MD]

If this is ultimately a win, I wanna see, "Rivera, T.J.: S (1)" in the boxscore.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jeez on an 0-2 pitch again with Reed

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Whew

Another night in San Diego, another poopy-pants save.

Both Wild Card leaders lose today, so the Mets gain a game on each.

Giants helping us out by TCB against Pittsburgh, too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

[Edgy MD]

So, was Céspedes' exit purely about double switching, or was Terry concerned about his legs after he circled the bases?

I'm happy to see them sneak back into the fringes of the race, but realistically, if it takes Little League homers to beat the floundering Pads after they've already started selling off parts and are throwing pitchers at us who are just up from AA and A+ ... well, it's hard to project sustainability from that.

I'm just saying, we're only a game and a half out of being three games behind the team that's only four and a half games out of the last wild card spot. Anything can happen.

[Benjamin Grimm]

A 1973-style surge would be a lot of fun. If the Mets can't get anything good for players like Bruce and Duda, let's just keep them and see what happens.
