NY Mets ~~ July 2021

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Not too confident in this thing right now...
Diaz WP's the runner on 2nd over to 3rd....and walks the next guy.

edit....
Sugar D. manned up. He got the next 3 batters....2 whiffs and a line out.

4-4.
Pillar will be the runner on 2nd in the bottom of the 10th.
Drury, Nido & Villar are due up.

LFGM!!!!!

Gotta do this....right here and now.....oh and btw: Atlanta just won their game.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FUCK YEAH!
Mets walk off....5-4.
Drury in a Hurry!
RBI single scores Pillar with the winner.
WOW!
YGB!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Incredible, gutsy, gutsy win.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Incredible, gutsy, gutsy win.

No doubt.
Awesome way to end the month.
We needed that one...and not just to keep the teams in the NL east at bay, but also from a psychological standpoint for the team and the fans.

Next objective: winning the rubber game on Sunday to take the series...and start the new month out on a positive note.

Mets introduce Hall of Fame Class of 2021

NEW YORK -- Combined, the tenures of Jon Matlack, Ron Darling and Edgardo Alfonzo spanned 24 of the Mets’ first 41 seasons, from some of the franchise’s most memorable postseason successes to its most bitter disappointments. Along the way, they all became integral parts of Mets history. That is why

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yeah..I know it's August 1st...but I just want to finish up this series in here...then I'll do a thread for the rest of the August schedule.

Hopefully that Amazin' win last night inspires these guys to keep it going.

Mets Sunday RubberGame Lineup vs Cincinnati ( Gutierrez )

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Are these guys gonna even bother to show up in this one?
Or is this another one of their Jekyll & Hyde scenarios??
It's already the 6th inning....trailing 3-0.
Mets offense only has 1 hit (an infield dribbler).
Stro was good for 3 innings then started falling apart afterwards.
Castro now in.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It's worse now...ugh.
Since he came in with 2 outs and 2 on....Castro walked the 1st batter he faced to load the bases...
Then he walked the pitcher on 4 straight to force in another run.
It's now 4-0 Reds.

After that amazin' high yesterday...they've gone to flaming out badly today.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Jeff McNeil hit a 1 out solo bomb in the 6th.

4-1.

Onto the 7th.

Also:
Unless the Pirates mount a late comeback soon,the Phils will win...while Milwaukee clings to a 1 run lead over Atlanta in the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It took Jennsy Diaz 31 pitches to get through the 7th...but he kept them off the board.
Mets down 4-1 at the stretch.


LFGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Looks like this one it pretty much heading for the L column.

Conforto lead off walk...then last night's hero (Drury) 1st pitch GIDP.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets really fell flat in the series finale..and looked tired as the calendar page flips.

Other than they better find a way to steady the ship soon and get off their rollercoaster....I'm out of answers.

Final:
Reds 7 - Mets 1
Mets only had 3 hits today.

Braves lost...Phils winning big.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm just gonna put these here....and be done with it.
