NY Mets September 2019

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!
Pete slaps an rbi single to score Haggerty.
Then Ramos hits a 2 out rbi knock scoring McNeil.



4-2 Mets...heading to the 9th.


Looks like Edwin Diaz is gonna be coming in to hopefully close this one down.

Seatbelt time, y'all.




LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Strikeout...

1 down.


1 out single...

Sure would be awesome to get that GIDP right here...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh well...there goes that theory.

Diaz gives up a 2 run HR.

4-4 tie.
So damn deflating.


I really feel badly for the guy at this point.

Was Lugo not available?????


But why is Callaway keeping him in here??






edit:
He strikes out the next 2 hitters....(of course)



Bottom of the 9th.

4-4 tie.



Ughhh

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

We seriously have to find a way to walk this one off FTW in the worst way.


LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Geeez..if I were the GM, I'd call Callaway into my office right after this game to answer some hard questions...then I'd order a full psych eval on him immediately afterwards...but also feel hypocritical in doing so seeing as I was the one who worked that trade w/ Seattle in the 1st place.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have loaded the bases w/ 2outs in the 9th...
Pete is up.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

OMG.

Pete works a 2 out bags drunk ribeye walk in the 9th.


Amazin's literally walk it off FTW.


Final:
Mets 5 - Phils 4

Staying alive

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Staying alive

That was huge...especially after what went down in the top half of the inning...sheeeesh.






Diaz better spring for the team's dinner tonight.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Staying alive

By the skin of their teeth right now.

We absolutely need to win this series.
The Dbacks will be in Queens for 4 when the Phils leave...and then the Dodgers come in next weekend for 3 after Zona.

Not exactly an easy task, but it's doable.

Btw: The 2 WC leaders lost tonight...so that's kind of a plus in our favor.

ICYMI: Brewers beat the Cubs....& the Braves beat the Nats.
