Word is the Padres suck. So let's take advantage. [youtube:3mxh29mf]qvVvN0QvzTk[/youtube:3mxh29mf]

San Diego at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Friday, June 13, 2014 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The San Diego Padres look to get into the win column on their eight-game road trip when they visit the New York Mets for the opener of their three-game set on Friday. San Diego's trek got off to a dismal start as it scored a total of five runs while being swept in a three-game series at Philadelphia. The Padres have lost four straight overall and eight of 10 this month, and their woes can be attributed to an anemic offense - the club is last in the majors in hits, runs, average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. San Diego hasn't won a season series against New York since 2009, losing four of seven games each of the last four campaigns. The Padres may be catching the Mets at the right time as New York has lost eight of its last nine contests - including a 5-1 setback to Milwaukee on Thursday that lasted 13 innings and included a three-minute rain delay. The Mets also have struggled offensively of late, managing just six singles in Thursday's marathon and scoring only two runs over their last 24 innings. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN (San Diego), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres RH Andrew Cashner (2-5, 2.13 ERA) vs. Mets RH Bartolo Colon (5-5, 4.31) A three-week stint on the disabled list due to elbow soreness did nothing to slow down Cashner, who yielded a pair of hits over six scoreless innings in his return on Saturday but was forced to settle for a no-decision. The 27-year-old is 0-4 over his last six outings despite allowing more than two earned runs just once in that span. Cashner has made five relief appearances against the Mets in his career, giving up two runs and three hits over 6 2/3 frames. Colon has righted the ship since a three-start stretch in early May during which he surrendered a total of 17 runs (16 earned) and 28 hits over 17 1/3 innings. The portly 41-year-old Dominican has gone 3-0 while yielding fewer than three earned runs in each of his last four outings. Colon is 1-2 with one shutout and a 1.50 ERA in three career starts against San Diego. WALK-OFFS: 1. Cashner has surrendered two earned runs or fewer in nine of his 10 starts this season, serving up just two home runs in 63 1/3 innings. 2. New York could be without RHP Jenrry Mejia, who left Thursday's game with back stiffness. 3. The Padres are 21-4 when scoring at least four runs.

Let us count the ways: aka: mini-KTE - 10 games under .500 compared to our mere 7 - but their -56 in RA/RS is miles worse than our relatively tame -7 - Interstate Hitters? Catcher - Yasmani Grandal? Check! 2B - Jedd Gyorko? Check! 3B - Chase Headly? .200 on the nose Then you get to tack on the ones barely over the Mendoza line: 1B Yonder Alonso (.208); SS Evereth Cabrera (.226; plus most of their bench reads like a wet noodle convention: .216, .202, .200, .167, etc. Last in Runs Scored? Oh yeah, by a lot: 3.03/G -- Next closest is Cincy at 3.46. Lg Avg = 4.01 Lowest BA? Yup (15 points below NYM). Lowest OBP? Yup (.275); Lowest Slugging? Yup, just slightly behind NYM OPS+? Glad you asked: 77 (NYM = 87)

Sounds like a three-game visit to Citi Field is just what they need to turn themselves around.

The wife is okay with me dragging her to baseball games, and with me drinking, just not both at once so extras won't happen. I already have a couple of Mets onsies. In fact, I'll probably give more money the the city in tolls than the Mets.

I'm sucked into the tied do-or-die hockey game. Everytime I switch back to SNY it's a commercial.

Just watched it. It was 2 out, the guy dived, but still, good job there. Hey, if he can still do shit like that I might change my mind. But only if we can stay within 5 or 6 games of first.

Abreu's first 4 hit game since 2011. lol. Okay, it was good he started tonight. But not yesterday or tomorrow. OE: sorry, hockey has my eye.

I'm not a puck head, but there is really nothing more exciting in sports than an overtime sudden death game when one team is on the ropes. Mets still winning.

Edgy MD Jun 13 2014 09:31 PM Re: IGT 6/13/14 SDP @ NYM: Clash of the Titans

Two thirds of a perfect game after a two-hour delay pitched by a 41-year-old bartender --- that's something, there.

A couple of years ago, during an Islanders game, Howie Rose was discussing his distaste for hockey shootouts, and missing the days, "when men were men and games could end in ties." Overtime playoff hockey is as good as it gets!

The only way a hockey IGT would work is if we only posted during breaks. You can't take you eyes off hockey, esp like this. The cups all polished up... but it ain't coming out tonight. Hope not anyways.

What's Abreu still out there for? He should have been elected to walk Colon to the clubhouse.

I'll risk a 4-run lead with the old man out there. Gotta get some OFers healthy. EYJ probably back on Monday. Lagares still maybe two weeks away.

if you noticed any sloppy camera work tonight on SNY, it's because at least the two camera men on the Excelsior first base side were flipping between the view of the field and the view of the Rangers game.
