* HOMER HAPPY
In addition to the HR by Flores, Lucas Duda hit a third-inning solo homer into the bridge seats in right-center. A white-uniformed Navy sailor watching the Memorial Day game retrieved the ball. Michael Cuddyer homered into the second deck in left in the fourth.

Mets plate 3 in the 3rd w/ 2 outs.....Duda ribeye single & Cuddyer knocked in 2 w/ a single.
DeGrom is in DeZone......7 K's thru 4, and has allowed just 2 hits.

LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets still have a glaring weakness that needs to be addressed....

OUR PITCHERS SUCK AT BUNTING.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

DeGrom is pulled w/ 1 out in the top 8th...after b2b singles.
The BP needs 5 outs.

LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

TC goes to Robles ....and just like that it's a 3-2 game....Revere triples......smh
And that's followed w/ an rbi single by Galvis....game tied.

Inexcusable...plain & simple.

I want that SOB (Collins) Gone!!

Immediately after the game TONIGHT!!!!


FUCK!!!!!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FIRE

TERRY

COLLINS

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Although I'm happy the amazin's mustered up enough sauce and onions to win the game in extras..I am in no way,shape or form giving Collins a pass for basically botching a 3 run lead in the 8th with his horrible BP mismanagement yet again.

Mets 5 - Phils 4, in 10

Good news from out of town....
Cubs beat the Nats....and the Dodgers beat the Braves.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I think this is the year we see Collins go. If they're out of contention by the trade deadline I don't see how you keep him around.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

So Collins was thinking that Robles could get two lefties out because -- up until that inning -- left-handed hitters were 1 for 14 against him?

Nice to get the walk-off win, and good for Flores to come through with the hit, but sucks that they spoiled an awesome outing by DeGrom.

1 o'clock baseball today, let's get another home sweep of these guys.

• The Mets must place Kirk Nieuwenhuis on waivers today if he is not traded by midday. The team on Tuesday still believed a deal was possible.

Who in God's name is trading for Kirk?

Who in God's name is trading for Kirk?

Ya just never know....hell, and with our luck, he'd latch on with a team like the giants or cubs and do really well.

Btw: I'd still be midly interested in 3B Casey McGehee if I were Sandy.....but we'll see.
