Mebbe cause he couldn't get an out till he had runners on 1st and 2nd w/a 3 ball pitch count to the guy up at the plate???

[GoPlastic]

haha okay okay he always made it exciting, but he was such a Met. that's the charm.

[gram-man]

I like the charm of the team we have now. The charm of winning games comfortably and not having to reach for the tums in the 7th inning.

Least when these Mets lose, they get their asses handed to 'em early enough that I can go do something else w/the rest of my night.

[In A Silent Way]

I still reach for the Tums when the relievers come in.

[GoPlastic]

St. Louis opens the scoring with an RBI single by Craig. Gee stands up tall, induces a double play and the Mets will come back to bat after a nifty defensive turn.

Cards 1-0 Mets, mid 4th.

[GoPlastic]

DUDA! well, that handles that.

1-1 game, still bottom 4th.

[In A Silent Way]

Home runs in seven consecutive games. In a row.

[In A Silent Way]

I just saw the video. Pepsi Porch'd.

[GoPlastic]

yeah, this is good to see. hitting HRs at home...must be the new blue walls.

offense aside, both pitchers are buzzing through the first 5 innings. 66 pitches for Lohse, 68 for Gee, each having 15 recorded outs. great stuff, old-timey NL baseball at its best. this could be a 2-hour game.

The gameday pic of Gee .... his beard looks added with a marker

[In A Silent Way]

Old school NL baseball: Tom Seaver and Bob Gibson pitching like they were double-parked outside.

#1 please? or #2 if #1 not available?

Gee and Lohse < Seaver and Gibson, but sure, it's evoking that era and style of play...

[GoPlastic]

that said, they used 10 and 11 pitches respectively in retiring the side 1-2-3, each. on to the 7th, tied at 1.

Can't get to http://mlb.mlb.com/m...slnmlb_nynmlb_1 ?

[GoPlastic]

oh, beans. Gee's frazzled from the long at-bat he lost to start the 7th. walk-single-error = 2-1 Cards, still no outs and 2 on.

[In A Silent Way]

Aw, shit. Here we go.

[GoPlastic]

Can't get to http://mlb.mlb.com/m...slnmlb_nynmlb_1 ?

i can get anywhere, i just don't follow on gameday and didn't feel like hunting it down.

BTW it's heading south in a hurry here...c'mon bullpen action.

[In A Silent Way]

Get this fucking worthless piece of wookie shit off the mound now.

[In A Silent Way]

OOH! Curve away for a called strike. Got Adams to chase high cheese. Got him to chase higher cheese for strike 3. That was easy.

Gee is my hero.

[GoPlastic]

well, 3 runs through 7 innings = quality start for sure. Lohse is out of the game too, so let's see if the Mets can damage the Cards 'pen once again and turn this into a W.

Cards 3-1 Mets, mid 7th.

[GoPlastic]

see? like that.

HAIRSTON!

3-3 game, still bottom 7th!

[Deadshow Dan]

Gameday tell us that the Cards' Rz(whatever the rest of his name is) has pitched 15 pitches and his effectiveness drops after that.


So likely new one for bottom of 8th?

[gram-man]

Rauch...YOU SUCK!!

[In A Silent Way]

damn it

[In A Silent Way]

Don't throw Craig the fastball with a 2-1 count.

[GoPlastic]

good point. Rauch gives it right back.

Card 5-3 Mets, still top 8th.

[In A Silent Way]

Come on, Rauch. Let's limit the damage and get out of this inning.

[GoPlastic]

Byrdak getting a batter's worth of work - not a bad idea, he hasn't pitched since last Weds.

[gram-man]

Byrdak comin in to get his man. We should be outta this inning soon nuff. Lets hope the there's still some power in our bats to get us 3 runs to win this.

[gram-man]

INCORRECT! He was in for a batter last night after Ramirez gave up the single that scored Freese.

[GoPlastic]

aha! i missed that (on the radio), it was when we'd gotten home from dinner. thanks Matt!

8-9-1 due up. c'mon boys, score a little more.

[gram-man]

Thole replacing Nickeas! C'mon Josh!!

[In A Silent Way]

Capt. Kirk is a beast!

[gram-man]

And a sac fly by Torres plates Thole!! Capt Kirk to 3rd...2 out D-Wright comin to the plate!!

[gram-man]

Before D-Wright gets his at bat, it's a call to the bullpen for the Cards. Jason Motte comin out to pitch to David.

[GoPlastic]

grrrrrrr, can't plate Kirk from 3rd, as Wright lines out.

to the 9th we go.

Cards 5-4 Mets, top 9th.

[GoPlastic]

Parnell does the business.

Duda - Murphy - Pinch Hitter due up in the 9th for the Mets.

Cards 5-4 Mets, bottom 9th

Duda flies out. one away.

[gram-man]

8 pitch at bat for Murphy...only to strike out.

It's all down to Jordany Valdespin...

[GoPlastic]

and so much for first place.

back into 3rd. it was nice.

[gram-man]

No joy in Mudville today folks....

[Deadshow Dan]

grrr

[In A Silent Way]

phooey

[gram-man]

Can't win every game. Gee was solid for most of his performance. We went 3-1 against last years World Series champs. The L was hung on Rauch. And we've got 3 games against the Nats comin up that if we win, we'll be solidly in first in the division.

All is good.

Reported on Twitter:

Relief pitcher Jon Rauch, the loser today,has elbow tenderness and was sent to the hospital for evaluation...

I don't see Ramirez stickin round too much longer. I hope Mejia is ready soon.

[concert andy]

I don't see Ramirez stickin round too much longer. I hope Mejia is ready soon.

Word on Ramirez is that is usually gets a little overwhelmed at first appearance or two, and then dominates that level. Let's juts hope that works at the major league level. He had same MO at all minor league stops this year.

[In A Silent Way]

I think Ramirez getting three strikeouts in his first inning was a good sign.

WTF happened to the defense last night? That was horrendous. Parnell should have shut that shit down. If I were him I would have balked in the winning run and given Valdespin & Murphy the finger as I walked off the field.

If I were him I would have balked in the winning run and given Valdespin &amp;amp; Ike the finger as I walked off the field.

Fixed that for ya. That 9th inning was ugly!

oofa!

When does Ike start playing better? I think it is more than two weeks since I brought up bringing in Miggy for 3 years at 20 mill. All I got was no way, believe in Ike. Ike is about to breakout.

I still hold out hope and will root for Ike as long as he is on the 25 man roster, but patience is wearing thin.
