[Edgy MD]

Warthen: "You've loaded the bases with no outs. Try to throw some popups."

[Edgy MD]

FILIPINO FIRE!!

PINOY POWA!!

[Frayed Knot]

Oh good, getting our butts kicked already and not until tomorrow and Sunday are we forced to face actual major league hitters and pitchers.

[Edgy MD]

Kendrick and Kompany 6, Mets 1.

We're talking to the Bigelow Tea heiress in the radio booth and it's a welcome diversion.

d'Arnaud is like, fuck it, I'm going to start hitting

[Frayed Knot]

It's shots like that that keeps one from giving up on d'Arnaud
Off the bat that looked like a line drive which, at best, you were hoping would split the OFs


Mets are only hitting tonight with ticket holders in the booth w/GKR

Laggy, too. Now that we've made the season a disaster, let's save our careers.

[Edgy MD]

So, is tonight the night that you give a save chance to Jeurys again, assuming one is available?

Or is it more important to get Ramos back on the horse?

[Edgy MD]

Out at second on a drive off the wall? Bleh.

[MFS62]

When I saw the Nats' lineup, the first thing that came to mind was "Don't let Adam Lind* beat you". I was going to post it but was late for an appointment.
That dinger was on me.
I hope this isn't too late for the Mets to read.

My girlfriend is from Canada.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Take that, Kelley. Rosario's tough AB wore him out

[Frayed Knot]

It's not a good look for the Nats that their trainer seems to have a belly and man-boobs.

[Edgy MD]

I can't remember the last time I even saw a pitch-out.

[Frayed Knot]

Didn't Peter Gabriel write a song about this guy? -- Oh Difo, Difo, Difo, Dee-Foe

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice catch Nori.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Smoker Smoker; Smoke, Smoke!

[Edgy MD]

And Smoker pitching like a champ too.

Mets showing some heart for the first time in weeks, and Familia returns to the closer role.

[Lefty Specialist]

Familia on for the save, just like the old days.

All credit for this victory goes to Greg's legendary page 1 post and Edgy Michael Hall's Canadian "girlfriend".

[Edgy MD]

My girlfriend couldn't get Cabrera's broken-down ass into second base.

I've realized that I need September wins more than I thought, because nothing else is going on. There isn't a minor league team to turn to when the Mets are getting whupped. Desmond Lindsay isn't turning it around somewhere. There aren't front office machinations or draft-day prep or even off-season rumors. There's just the Mets, playing out the string.

And in the case of this year, mostly terribly.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Meaningless September games will have all the meaning when it's December and it's cold and it's dark and all the grass is brown and the players are gone and the stadiums are empty and we only have spring to look forward to. C'mon skinny love.
