Four lefties in the ninth. Wish we had a Blevins.

Freakin' Utley. His career is collapsing around him... except against the Mets.

If you've gotta face Howard, try not to do it with somebody on base, Jeurys.

FUCK YOU, DEEP HOLE!!!!!!

Los Torreses digging a deep hole for Buddy..

The armored headband doesn't match the hat. And the insignia... ugh.

Met #994, May 9, 2015: Johnny Monell Bases loaded, one out... ... and... a one-two-three double-play.

Bob McClure, Met #403 visiting the mound.

Garcia's slider is eating up his catcher.

Niese was so efficient there, he may come out for the eighth if he doesn't come to the plate here.

More line drives please. I don't know. I was thinking Laggy might be the one to crack Harangatang (Met #966) Too many fly balls in this park will catch up to you. And he's strong and gets on top of high pitches.

THERE 'TIS!!

First thought: "Got to pinch-hit for Niese. Mets need to get some offense going." Second thought: "Although who on the bench is hitting better than Niese?" Third thought: "GO, NIESE!!"

Watching Niese collapse in that awful chrome insignia makes me very sad.

Gary reporting that Jackson is doing well.

Shame, shame, tied the game.

Gary is totally overselling Lagares' arm.

I think he's thinking less about the hitting environs and more about April 12, 1981.

Keep on lovin'.

Funny how I totally saw this coming and yet totally didn't see it coming. It says something about holding on to your cards when Syndergaard came into the offseason ninth on the depth charts, and here they need him by the second week of May, despite not trading anybody.

Smoly crap, huh? I would've encouraged them to call up an infielder for a few days beforehand, but... way to go, Mets. And... what a convenient little injury.

I'm not saying that offense is down, but the third-place hitters are hitting a measly .239. COMBINED! This will be only Cuddy's second appearance in the infield for the Mets � a good opportunity tonight for Duda to win the Bench Player of the Month Award with one big clout.

You know who's hittin'? Mets number one draft picks are hittin'. Nimmo? Hittin'. Conforto? Blastin'. Cecchini? Whaling away. The exception is Dominic Smith. Last year, his lack of power development was disappointing. This year, well, disappointing would be an improvement. He's totally swinging a wet noodle! And he's presenting a vomitrocious .143 / .194 / .159 // .353 next to his face whenever somebody looks up at the St. Lucie scoreboard. So, three out of four ain't bad, right? Right? Well, one thing my Dad taught me is to buy low, and things are low for Dominic. He also taught me to keep and eye open for someone who needs a friend. Come over here and get a hug, Dom. And put down that stoopid-looking bat!
