Let's make this one count. Time to finally lay a beating on the bullies:

Mets fans showing their love for Flores tonight. 2 standing O's.
One for a nice defensive play, and another when he came up to bat in the 2nd.
That's awesome.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Gotta give Harvey some run support....he's perfect thru 4, w/ 5 K's so far...

LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Way To Go Wilmer......

Flores' 2 out rbi single scores Uribe.

1-0 Mets

Standing O. #3.....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Swing the effin bat, Soup...mets leave them loaded.
In his defense that called 3rd looked a little low & inside..but still too close to take there.
1-0
Onto the 5th

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Another 3 up, 3 down for Harvey in the 5th.
15 in a row.

YGB!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Gio gone after 4.2 on 105 pitches....Mets have 2nd & 3rd for Uribe..facing Roark.



Dammit...he grounds out to end the threat.

To the 6th...still 1-0 Mets.
