Last Chance IGT - 8/17/17 Yanx @ Mets

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Matz is a disgrace.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, Céspedes chases the slider low and away.

Again and again.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I wonder what the team record is for 1st inning pitch count.
Get me Elias on the horn.

That pitch would have needed to be two feet closer to the plate before it could be classified as merely low and away.

I don't believe Matz will be in the organization next season.

[Frayed Knot]

This game makes it now 104 runs allowed in 119 1st innings for the Mets.
That's an ERA of nearly 8.00 and a slash line (before today) of .305/.367/.517 w/26 HRs

No other inning has more than 80 RA


I'm not going to look up every other team to find out if that's the worst in all of baseball but I can't imagine that it's not.

[MFS62]

Crap!
Can't they keep the ball in the ballpark?

Once again a NYM bat manages to hit the ball directly at the lone glove on the opposite side of the infield.
It takes some sort of talent to do that so consistently and not cause the infielder to even have to move.



And then their 112 pound midget hits a seven hopper that never comes near any of the infielders.



... and game over!

His homage to Derek Jeter.

I picked a good night to leave the TV off, apparently.

[HahnSolo]

What a disaster.

[Guest cooby]

Not good. We need our boys back.

But I think we will prevail tonight

[Guest d'Kong76]

Time to stretch...

[Guest d'Kong76]

Bottom of the 7th even more unpleasant!

[Guest d'Kong76]

GranderBOOM of a granderboom!

[Chad ochoseis]

Must...not...get...hopes...up.

[seawolf17]

This fuckin' team, folks. This fuckin' team.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't think I've ever bailed on a Met/Yanx game before, but I did tonight.
Oh I checked back here and there, but I just couldn't hang with it for any length of time.

And for a series decided by 2, 1, 2, and 2 runs, none of the games seemed even slightly close.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I bailed too

[Zvon]

The GrandySlam really upped my hopes but that's what the Mets do to you sometimes.
Up your hopes and then kick you in the nutz.

[Fman99]

I was long gone by then. Four straight nights of this nonsense, and then following each day with the shitdick fans I work with. Rough week.

Stephen Matz "It sucks to suck. I know that."

Classic!!

The Grandy slam, like Rosario's 2R HR in the earlier game, depressed me more than anything because I knew it wasn't going to lead anywhere and instead only serve to make the result seem less lopsided.
Like I said, tough to find a series less competitive than this one despite being all 1 and 2 run games.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

I had yesterday off, so the harassment was interrupted. I can only imagine the BS I'll encounter when I get there today.
If you see the headline "Mets Fan Snaps, Goes Postal at Work" with a dateline Purchase, NY, you'll know.
