Going to extras.
Familia coming in.
Whatever happens...at least the Mets decided to show up to get it to this point.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Familia gave up a 2 run HR in the top half...(because it's kind of what he does)

Mets scored 1 to make it interesting in the bottom half....

But it ends in the 10th on Nido's 1st pitch fly ball out, with 2 down...( smh...because of course, why not)...in a pinch hit spot with the tying run on 2nd.

I guess he must've had dinner reservations?

Mets drop the opener 6-5 in 10.

Also..I don't normally say this at all...but Go Nats....LOL

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets are now 0-2 on "Black Fridays" at home since they brought them back....

And...ICYMI.....

Shutdown of Mets' deGrom extended two weeks

Mets ace Jacob deGrom is showing progress in his recovery from inflammation in his throwing elbow but not enough to start pitching again.

Valiant effort. On to the next one.

Yep. Good to see they kept clawing & fighting to comeback and get it to extras.
They were right there at the end....tying run in scoring position....winning run at the plate.
Seriously gotta try to win at least 1 of these next 2 though.
Not gonna be an easy task...they'll face Buehler on Saturday, & Scherzer on Sunday.
But it can be done. YGB.

Mets Saturday Lineup vs Dodgers ( Buehler )

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets strike 1st.
Solo bomb, with 2 outs by Conforto in the 4th.

1-0 Mets....heading to the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Just gonna put this out there..but maybe start pitching a "little more inside" to some of these bums....
.....especially Will Smith??

Game tied 1-1 in the 7th....and after a 2nd "mound visit"....Walker is pulled w/ 2 outs..and 2 on. Loup is coming in.

Taijaun Walker had a no-no going thru 6.

Also... the Phils have already won earlier...and the Braves are probably gonna win too.

So It would behoove the Mets to put up at least another run or 2 tonight.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Loup K'd Bellinger to keep it a 1-1 game.
Stretch time in Queens.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

LOL...not only do our pitchers fail at bunting....but our catcher's do too.....SMH.

Nido with 2 on / no outs in the 7th......bunt foul...bunt foul...strike 3 swinging.
Blankenhorn also K'd PHing for Loup.
Maybe Nimmo will come through here with 2 down...


Nope!
He foul popped out.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Castro in the 8th & Lugo in the 9th...both held the fort.

1-1 heading to the bottom of the 9th.


edit:
Ho hum...
Mets go 1-2-3.

Heading to extras.

Uggh.


Yennsy (the other) Diaz is coming in.
Runner on 2nd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It's 2-1 LA.
Bottom of the 10th.

Villar is the runner at 2nd.
(And he better not get picked off)

Mets need 1 to tie.....or 2 to walk off.

McCann PHing for Nido...

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets bottom 10th.

2 whiffs...and a weak ground ball out.
Thanks for coming
Good night.
Drive safe.

Final: 2-1 LA

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bill madden agrees with me....

Nothing special about these Yankees and Mets so here’s why they still have hope

Since the trade deadline, the Yankees and Mets have seemingly given off distinctly different vibes. The Yankees, who did big things in adding lefty sluggers Anthony Rizzo and Joey Gallo to their mo…
