Mets go down 1-2-3 in the 9th..a day later.

4-4 tie.
Onto the 10th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Why in the hell is Callaway going with Diaz here in the 10th?



Cards get a leadoff single...a stolen base.....and a ground out.

Runner at 3rd.

I'm sure this will end well....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

RBI single...Cards lead 5-4.


Then Diaz, a batter too late, gets a GIDP.

Thanks again, Mickey.




Mid 10th...Mets trail 5-4.


edit:

Mets go down once again 1-2-3...this time on only 6 pitches...

Cards win 5-4.
Apparently & obviously they wanted it more than the Mets did.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I really hope I'm wrong, but this has all the makings of a long bad weekend for the Metsies...and it's not gonna be any easier when they hit the road after Sunday.

They have 3 @ Braves, 4 @ Cubs, and 4 @ Phils.


Piece of cake....amirite?



Ugghhh.

Lagares - CF
Matz - P

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets exacerbating their stumbles by putting together some piss poor AB's against a struggling call up scrub, who has now been called back for a PHer here in the 5th.

They should/could/would be ahead in this game if they only had some patience and a semblance of a clue at the plate.

Nope!

Instead they are now trailing 4-1 in the 5th..after Matz just gave up a pinch hit 3 run HR.
And he's already closing in on 100 pitches.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Geeez...Matz might actually have more of an idea at the plate tonight than the rest of them...

He just hit a solo HR in the 5th, and is now 2 for 2.

Cards 4 - Mets 2

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

My goodness...Juan Lagares is pretty much all but useless at this point.

Brandon Nimmo can't return from his rehab assignment in Syracuse fast enough.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have the bases loaded here in the home 7th with no outs.

Gotta cash in here.
Something....Anything.


Alonso at the plate.
Cards go to the BP again.


LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Fielders choice..run scored... 4-3 game.

Dom Smith K's on 3 pitches.

Bases still loaded with 1 out for Frazier.

Fuckin ay...Frazier grounds into a force out at home.

Still loaded... 2 outs for Ramos.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes.
Ramos... 2 out, 2 run single.



5-4 Mets.




Then Rosario also grounds into a force out to end it.
Ugghh..But I'll take it.
At least they scored 3 to retake the lead.

Onto the 8th.
Buckle up.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hahaha..
Like only he can, Familia gives up a HR in the 8th on just his 2nd pitch out of the pen.

5-5 game.

So glad we have a "pitching guru" at the helm calling the shots in the dugout.




Now he allows a 2 out double....

Big Shocker...after the mound visit..he gives up a walk..and a 3 run dinger.

8-5 Cards.

Super Duper Pooper.

G'night
Thanks for coming
Drive home safe.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pitching Guru??
Seriously????

And where's Brodie Van Wagenen been lately??

Haven't heard a peep from him.

Me thinks he's got some 'splainin' to do.
Not that it'll do much good, but still...

This team is beginning to stumble fuck themselves into the abyss of irrelevance yet again.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

9-5....after Santiago gives up a HR in the 9th on his 3rd pitch out of the pen.

Real pathetic showing all the way around so far.


Some drastic moves need to be made....as an example, for starters...

FIRE CALLAWAY!!

It's not too soon...and it's not too late....
....it's the right thing to do....imho.
