98 pitches. LET HIM GO NINE!

And a few more runs could have afforded him 9. I doubt TC lets him w/only a 2 run lead.

Tsk, tsk. I don't want to see the pen til Fammy starts singing.

there ya go. small tiny not purple whew.

A play like that when we haven't yet had a hit makes me go into uh-oh mode.

Did that get under Reyes?

They made this game so uninteresting I snoozed off for a bit. Need a cup O coffee to make it thru the rest of this.

WTF is all this Pence shit? Where's my game?

And they are also selling cards that haven't happened yet. Buy this one NOW, they will add the winners picture later. These are for wrestling (I gather).

Now they are selling limited sets. The ToppsNOW stuff must be doing well. Maybe everything will be limited down the line. This says BUNT. Does that mean its only a virtual set? http://www.topps.com/collectibles/trading-cards/topps-crossover.html/ Cespedes is in the set but I'm not biting.

YAY!

If we blow this game I'm taking a vacation. Not sure where, but it'll be a place where I can't possibly watch Mets games.

Lugo had only thrown 69 pitches but there were 2 runners on, a lefty batter and Blevins was available. Shouldn't Terry have known that Bochy would PH with a righty or was Lugo clearly tiring (he had been pitching out of the bullpen) and it was the proper move regardless of what Bochy did? I was hoping Lugo could finish the inning but was not surprised or against his removal. He did look like he was laboring at that point and had pitched in relief just a few days prior. TC had to know which way that chess game would go (I don't want to know if he didn't). The PH wasn't someone to worry about. Blevins couldn't get it done. I have more of an issue with Collins saying to the world before the game that he only expected so much out of Seth (was it 5? 6 innings?). That could get in the pitchers head. Why say anything at all? Or say, "How long he goes depends on how he pitches". Don't box 'em in. cooby wrote: That's our Zvon! Awww. Thank you Coob. It's nice to be a part of a community that can pick me up when I'm down. We may be picking each other up a lot from here on out. Lets Go Mets!

I feel a little better today. lil' bit. Lets go Mets! *forced smile Like G-FAFIF says in today's column, we have seen worse. It sucks atm but it ain't over.

Pathetic folks. Absolutely pathetic. Stick a freakin' fork in 'em. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow. Like yesterday. And the day before. And the day before. Each loss is like the worst.

What a opportunity for Seth Lugo, starting his 1st MLB game. Yo go Lugo! Gelbs tosses some hard "why are they stealing" questions to lil d' and Travis deflects them, somewhat like he does with balls in the dirt.

Nope. There are quite a few Mets ToppsNOW cards I didn't even try to get. I'd like that Colon, and the Mets /Yankees Colon. Since I have the Colon HR card it would be a nice. But not nine-ninty-nine-nice. If Seaver wasn't on that last one I would have easily passed. I don't consider these to be regular issue circulated baseball cards. These are bonus babies.

We had deGrom on the mound. One of our guys smacks a granny to give him a 4 run lead. He gives it right back, plus. Reed picks a bad time to give up a few runs. New York scores 7 runs on 13 hits. And we still lose.

Damn. We strand 3 in the 7th inning of a one run game. 90 feet from tying it, Ty. For shame.
