I have to say I don't really get why Greenberg is getting this AB.....I know the story, just to me really reflects how meaningless this game is and tells the story of both teams season.

Mets minority share buyers are guaranteed one MLB At bat.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 05:59 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Scoreless into the fourth, until Gorkys Hernandez hits a solo homer. Puts win number 21 in jeopardy, but more critical are Dickey's chances at an ERA title.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 06:15 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Two outs and runner at second, the Marlins walk Torres to pitch to Dickey. Looking to win it by himself, he whiffs. The game is official, so my hopes for a massive blackout and cancellation to delete that run from his ERA are dashed.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 06:18 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Fuck, another solo shot. Let's go, METS!

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 06:24 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

I feel so ditched. Riding out the final DickeyDay alone. Dickey responds to the homer by fanning the side. Get some runs, you top-o'-the-order METS.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 06:31 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Adam Greenberg digs in as a pinch-hitter. Um.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 06:32 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Three pitches and good bye.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 06:40 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Dickey gets strikeout number 230 but gives up run number three after three straight two-out hits.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 06:41 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

That's it for Dickimundo, it looks like... and NO! Terry leaves him in. Good. Fuck that 88-pitch hook.

Frayed Knot Oct 02 2012 06:50 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Ummmm, a hit would be nice.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 06:52 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Or a walk. Or a catcher's interference call or something. Acosta replaces Dickish in the bottom of the seventh.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 02 2012 06:52 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Dickey has a meeting with his editor, no time to be pitching.

Frayed Knot Oct 02 2012 07:12 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

That time Timmy decides to hold the runner?!?

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 07:14 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Come on, Mr. Hundred Million.

Thick-legged Heath hearing it from the hometown crowd.

That's the stuff. Come on, Mr. Bad-Influence-on-Your-Teammates.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 07:19 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

There's a walk. Come on, Mr. Playing-for-a-Contract. Let's go, you Mets!

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 07:22 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Alright! Wildness. three-two.

Blown saves are 30% more enjoyable when Heath Bell is involved.

OK, it's a brand new game now. Oh, I swear to you! I'll be there for you! This is not a drive by! High-igh-igh-igh!

Nice little rally! Double by Ike, infield single by Hairy, moves PR Davis to 3rd, two outs.

Come on Josh - show us the stuff that earned you the spot on that travel team!

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 08:08 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Nothing to do with him. Let's go, Mr. Horrible-Yet-Still-Redeemable-Second-Half!!

Gwreck Oct 02 2012 08:08 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Realizing we'd have to use a righty...I still might hit for Thole here.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2012 08:10 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Ah, booo! We totally have the bullpen to outlast these failed upstarts.

Frayed Knot Oct 02 2012 08:11 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Realizing that the only replacement left on the bench was a reliever who had never batted before and would have to go into the game to catch afterward ... I still might hit for Thole there.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 02 2012 08:15 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Is this one over? I was watching Texiera fail again.

Gwreck Oct 02 2012 08:23 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

3rd pitcher this inning. We better win this one soon or Terry's going to have to start giving relief innings to Niese or Harvey

I don't like the smell of this inning: McHugh vs Reyes - Stanton - Lee

metsguyinmichigan Oct 02 2012 08:36 PM Re: IGT 10/2/12-Mets @ Marlins

Lead-off triple by Jose..... This is almost over now.

Oh pisspot. Just got home and reading this now. Did Dickey have a good game ruined by weak O and/or bullpen or was he his own worst enemy tonight?
