Come visit me and the Lunchpail tonight in 519.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Conforto is being scratched due to a thumb issue.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

And they put Matt Reynolds in right field?

What happened to Zimmo?

[Guest sharpie]

Strict adherence to the lefty/righty rule.

Eaten by bears. Should miss 5-7 days.

Well, so much for the getting-guys-on-base-and-then-hitting-the-ball-real-hard strategy.

[Frayed Knot]

I think it's quite possible, I might even go to probable, that the Mets won't score another run for the remainder of the season.

I hope they score at least a few.

[ashie62]

I am almost surprised people pay to watch this crap.

This is low entertainment.

Kinda like Rodan, the Mets and the Hindenberg all in one.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Looks like they scored a run.

Are there any other alternatives to Mayday Millone? This season is completely in the handbasket.

There you go. Rosario.

He and Smith are totally getting with the some-homers-but-no-other-offensive-value act the Mets have going on, guys!

Relax! Chris Flexen's turn is coming.

Nite all.

[Guest d'Kong76]

They're gonna score some runs, right?

[Edgy MD]

Corbin puts down a fine bunt. Robles fields it half-assed, and throws it half-assed, but that's fine, because Corbin is running half-assed.

I know, intellectually, I've seen this brand of consistently mailed-in-effort baseball before, but it feels like nothing I've ever seen.

[Edgy MD]

It's the ninth-inning pulse of life, guys!

[MFS62]

Rosario is not mailing it in. He's been playing like he wants to set an example for the veterans.
I'm impressed.

damn. so close to getting Conforto to the plate as tying run.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Another day, another loss...

[Benjamin Grimm]

I have to think that Terry is a dead man walking.

[Fman99]

Hard to watch. I gave up in the middle innings.

Another day, another meaningless 9th inning rally.

Made a really costly error again last night on a play that Cabrera could have made.

The Tuesday Night Mets are quietly turning out to be an inferior version of the Sunday Afternoon Mets. Last night was the third Tuesday this season they simply weren't competitive or watchable.

Looking into this a little further: the Mets have now lost 8 of their last 9 scoring a total of 25 runs in those 8 losses.
13 of those 25 runs came in five different games in the 8th, 9th, or 10th innings.
- they scored 2 in the 9th only to lose by 1
- 4 runs in the 9th to lose by 1
- 3 runs in the 8th to lose by 2
- 1 in the 10th to lose by 1
- and last night 3 in the 9th to lose by 3
