That could have been messy. And Niese looked pissed that he was being held after he crossed the plate. He was intent on scoring. Hey, the way we score runs I don't blame him.
Radios like 15 seconds faster than the TV. That's too much. I'll have to say chow 4 now Howie. It's not you're too fast. They're too slow. Yet they win. Nice catch Q.
Something just occurred to me. I am not that experienced with Topps card sets that were released in the series format. Did these cards released late in the season reflect mid season changes, or highlights? Because the more I think about it the more I'm thinking cards like the one below would not have appeared until the 1963 set. Same might go for the Gil Comes Home one.

At least that's something I wanted to see tonight that worked out. A Duda at bat. LF. Who cares about defense if you're only going to score 1 run a game? you won't win. It's more likely Duda will make all the plays/there aren't any tough LF plays than it is that Eric Young contributes. My doctor said I can't even talk to anyone on the topic of Duda playing the outfield. At least play Brown (or hell, Monday, play Kirk). Anyone but Eric "I run really fast" Young Jr. Hey, at this point I'll look at anything that is possible as long as it doesn't get my blood up. I like what Young brings but he's not planted in left.

Muffy just misses one. Anything now would be uplifting from a fans standpoint. Well, not a fly to the fence though. Do something Mets. Something to ease the pain. Like win this game. Wheeler into the 90s pitchwise in the 7th. Lookin good.
Was listening on the radio and the Cars For Kids commercial comes on, so I hadda mute that. Listened to the Phils booth until Matthews started his sing song yak and I hadda mute that. I'm back to the radio (thru MLB-TV, picture on TV). Its a lil outta sync. lil bit, that sucks. Half paying attention. The rest of this seasons gonna be a drag. Wheeler up to 78 pitches through five. Still down 2-1.
Wheeler up to 63 pitches in the fourth. His first walk gives way to a triple and two runs. My main concern w/Zack is his pitch count. Its acceptable at this point but could go south quick. 1-2
