Keep pounding on the bad teams, let's sweep this one.

A sweep would be sweet, and I'd be stoked....but 2 of 3 would be cool too.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Already 3-0 fish, in the 4th.

Like I said.......2 of 3.

Why does TC have Tejada playing 3rd instead of Flores??

We're really gonna need Td'A to get back soon...not only for his bat but for the way he handles the pitching staff.
Plawecki is doing an admirable job but he's still learning.

Also....Go Reds this weekend....we're gonna need their help against the Nats.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nice!!
The Duda Abides....w/ a solo blast.
3-1 bottom 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I don't like the 6 man staff/extra rest BS, TC wants to implement....and apparently from what I've read and the way he's approached the last few starts, neither does Harvey....smh

Prado laces a 2 out rbi single to get that run back, because their pitcher knows how to execute a sac bunt properly....lol....4-1.

The fish came in with a 3 game losing streak....and are 2-8 in their last 10.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Grandy solo bomb leads off the home 6th...4-2 game.

I think the Mets lead the majors in solo HR's..and are near the bottom at hitting them w/ runners on.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Murph just GIDP.......I'm almost certain we lead the world in that stat......

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stretch time....4-2 game.

I'm heading out for dinner & drinks....

LGM!!!!

• Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria is out of the lineup after injuring his left shoulder colliding with Yelich while pursuing Murphy's shallow fly ball on Friday.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets score 1 in the 1st.....then loaded the bases w/ 1 out, but Cuddyer popped out...
and of course Flores GIDP (big surprise)....
1-0 ...onto the 2nd

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Niese really effing sucks.....he's all over the place.....JFC.

Fish put up 2, aided by a Flores E-6....and a Solano 2 rbi double.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FFS.......what else can you say but go Cincy....and go SF.

Ughhh

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So... Plawecki singles w/ 1 out...but Niese isn't asked to bunt him over...and he ends up grounding out ????



Yeah..okay..this game should pan out swimmingly in our favor....lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stanton solo laser shot to CF....3-1 fish.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

This team plays like a bunch of retards way too often, and TC has a serious mental defect..

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

As Keith Hernandez says on many occasions.....

"EL-STINKO!!!"


I'm not gonna waste my saturday afternoon watching this slop.

have a good one, folks.
