Time for the vets to get going.

Time for the vets to get going.

Time for the curse that are the Wilponzi's to sell the team & GTFO.

That being said..if Callaway makes it past Memorial Day I'd not only be shocked, but also pissed.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Lead off double against Font, great start as usual...

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Whew, no damage there.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nice.

Rosario & Alonso with solo shots in the 1st.
(HR #15 for Pete)



2-0 Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Let's see if Font can toss a shutdown inning in the 2nd.



Edit: he sets them down in order.

So far so good.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hey CarGO.....try taking at least 1 or 2 pitches once in a while.

TiA

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Nice.

Rosario & Alonso with solo shots in the 1st.
(HR #15 for Pete)



2-0 Mets.

Alonso is def badass!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Can't walk the opposing pitcher to lead off an inning FFS.


Sheeeesh.


Edit: Getting that timely DP helps though.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nice one.

The Toddster with a 2 out rbi single in the 3rd to make it a 3-0 Mets lead.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And now CarGo tacks on another with an rbi double.

4-0 Mets.

Who are these guys..and where were they over this last weekend??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Font gives up a leadoff HR to Rendon in the 4th.

4-1.

And now he issues b2b 2 out walks....

.......and suddenly it's now a 4-2 game after an rbi single by Gomes.

Might have been a good idea to IBB him to pitch to Corbin instead.

LOL at Callaway.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Welp...that's it for Font.
Drew Gagnon takes the mound to begin the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Just curious to know if Callaway took Font out after 4 innings because he realized his ERA went up to 6.66?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Gagnon with another solid inning of work.

4-2 Mets, heading to the home 6th.

Gonna step aside to watch the NBA playoff game for a while.


LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Good job, Metsies.



If there ever was a must win game for this team with all the other peripheral crap going on concerning them, not only earlier today, but over the last week or so, then this was it.

Well done.
Please try to keep it going in tomorrow's game...and then some.

Mets win 5-3 to stop the hemorrhaging...at least for now.
