Am I the only one who thinks Murphy seems to drift in and out of consciousness a lot during games??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wilmer!
2 out rbi single.....Grandy scores...1-0 Mets top 4th

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It's a fucking shame that all of our starting pitchers have to be near perfect every time out due to the inept offense. deGrom was cruising along, but gave up a leadoff double in the 5th...then a 2 out, 2 run HR to Ramos that caught just enough of the bat.

2-1 Nats after 6

Ughhh

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So now the Mets have 2nd & 3rd w/ no outs...
Ughh....Plawecki pops out....bupkis.

TC summons Soup to PH for deGrom....yikes!!!
Nats go to the pen.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

OMG!!!

PH 2 ribeye single....(takes 2nd on Harper's throw home)

3-2 Mets.

Sheeesh....too much to ask for a tack on run I guess....

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Duda smokes a 2 out double off the RF wall....but is left stranded...
Still 3-2 Mets.
Bobby P. coming in to pitch the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Parnell tosses a much needed 1-2-3 inning.

To the 9th we go....

Hard hit line out.....single ...HBP

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Escobar whiffs on a nasty tailing 99 mph fastball.....2 down.
