NY Mets. July 2018.

[Used 2 B Hu]

Also on Friday...

The Mets signed veteran outfielder Austin Jackson and designated OF Matt den Dekker for assignment.

Good...den Dekker was absolute shit.

Really surprised they traded w/Philly, but good luck to Cabrera.

7/28
deGrom is on the hill tonight.
It would sure be nice if he can get some run support.
Hopefully this won't be his last game in a Mets uniform.

I think the return for Cabrera is about as good as we could have asked for.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Fuck...that's the game.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

deGrom is the entire team

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

So frustrating to watch a team that's just not good enough. Can't hold runners, yet can't steal...can't get a clutch hit but can't prevent them either...make boneheaded plays but don't take advantage of the other team's errors

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Saturday suckage.
Mets lost 5-0...in what may have been deGrom's final game with the team.

Zack Wheeler dominates with arm bat in win





Wheeler...
Zack Wheeler trade rumors: Mets getting offers

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

37 = number of wins needed to finish at .500
19 = wins needed to avoid losing 100 games.

Either will be tough to achieve...but especially that 1st one.

Anybody else traded yet?

Frazier's rehab...and Thor's return...

Todd Frazier, Noah Syndergaard make progress

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes...gonna be a long night for the less than amazin's ...

Only 17 pitches thrown by Matz so far in the 1st inning and it's already 3-0 Nats..still only 1 out.

And now Flores has apparently injured himself playing 1B, so he gets replaced by Evans.

edit: after Matz issued an IBB to the #8 hitter....the nats' pitcher Roarke strokes a bases loaded 3 rbi double to make it 6-0.

The Nats bat around...and it's now 7-0...still 2 outs.
Matz at 33 pitches gets pulled in the 1st.
Rhame in to mop up.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Harper, batting for the 2nd time in the inning, shows some mercy by flying out to finally end it.

And just think...the dog days begin tomorrow.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets went down 1-2-3 in the top of the 2nd.

Some dude named Murphy just hit a 2 run HR to make it 9-0 in the bottom half..

More hits ensue...now 10-0.

I wonder if there's any major rain in the immediate forecast for DC?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

There's that murphy guy again hitting another HR, and notching 3 more rbi.
He's now 3 for 3, with 2 blasts, and 6 rbi so far...

13-0 in the 3rd.

Nats as a team now have 15 hits in the game thru 3 innings.


Where's that damn rain when you need it???

 

[Nasty_Magician]

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nats lead it 16-0....on 17 hits....after 4.
