[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets are down 2-0 after 5.

Game could easily be tied right now.

They've had some opportunities to score but haven't been able to take advantage of them.

Wheeler's bunting technique is terrible...and he's right around 100 pitches heading to the 6th.
He's probably just about done tonight.

Edit:
He dodged a bullet in the 6th. After giving up a leadoff double, he got the next 3 batters.

2-0 mid 6th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets on the board in the home 6th.
JD Davis solo dinger.

2-1

Ugghhh....Conforto has struggled lately and is definitely in a slump now.

Mets had 1st & 2nd w/ only 1 out, but he GIDP to end the threat.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wheels is back on the mound for the 7th?
He's at 110 pitches.

edit:
After he K's Torres on pitch 116, he gets replaced by Justin Wilson.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wilson stepped up.
Stretch time at Citi.
Yanks lead it 2-1.



Edit:
Mets go down 1-2-3 in the home 7th.

Onto the 8th.

Lugo was warming up in the pen...and is coming in.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lugo gave up a 2 out walk, but nothing else.

Mets need base runners in the home 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nice One!
Mets tie it up 2-2 in the 8th.
Alonso reached on an E-5..and Davis doubled him home.




LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Frazier K's...
....then the Yanks IBB Cano with 1 out..to pitch to Ramos.

edit:
Ramos singles softly to load the bases.

Conforto at the plate.
Still 1 out.

Yanks go to the pen.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

YES!

Michael Conforto 2 run double.

Mets 4 - Yanks 2.

They couldn't cash in the other 2 runners...but I'll take it.


It's Diaz Time.
Buckle up.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

C'mon guys...WTF!

Geeez.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Leadoff guy reaches on an infield single.

Diaz K's Encarnacion.
Torres flies out.

2 down, 1 on.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

PUT IT
IN THE
BOOKS

Diaz K's Gardner

Mets win 4-2.

Memo to Jason Vargas:

Hey dude...just try to picture the Yankees as Newsday & NY Daily News baseball reporters.

Get angry at them and pitch accordingly.

Thanks in advance.





2-0 skanks...mid 1st.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]
