I'm beginning to side with yogà on his need to be dismissed....

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Well that sucked. Agree that terry should have left DeGrom in, but man does this offense and defense both suck.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Amazin's need to find a way to step up tonight and tomorrow..as it appears the Pirates are taking a page out of the Mets book by sucking against the Nats....ughh.

They're not just royal, they're not just giants...they're Royal Giants

Wowza, a Granderson HIT!!!

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

WHat is all that Arabic tattooed on Williams Perez's forearm?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Why isn't Thor getting those strikes called???
Those are paint.
Simmons looked at 2 strikes that weren't called....and he should have been out.

That being said....he'd have been better off just beaning AJ instead of allowing a double that Grandy played into a triple...

Thor's pitch count already getting up there....smh

2-1 Mets after 2

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

In addition to some of the other batting issues...TC has to stop putting Cuddyer in the cleanup spot....
It's not working....not even close.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result.
(Repeating the same mistakes)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Slumbering at the plate....and now asleep in the field???
WOW....Fucking Disgusting....how the fuck does a MLB team botch that simple play...??
2-2 tie

TC and his coaching staff are horrible.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

This defense...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

70 pitches in 3 innings for Thor......NOT GOOD.
