Not to get too overconfident but Big Fat Bartolo Colon is gonna drive this thing right up Fredi Gonzalez's ass. I'm ugly and have to move my car. I'll be right back...

Does Travis get all four starts in the series or do we get a'Nthony for this one?

Atlanta at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Thursday, July 10, 2014 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. Bartolo Colon continues the revitalization of his career at age 41, while Aaron Harang has made the most of what some suspected would be his last chance at age 36. Harang takes the mound for the Atlanta Braves in the finale of a four-game series Thursday at the New York Mets, and Colon will pitch for the hosts in a matchup of two eight-game winners. Colon fired seven shutout innings against the Braves on April 8 in Atlanta, a 4-0 New York victory in which Harang only allowed one run. Colon and the Mets aim to finish a sweep of the Braves, who have lost four in a row due to an inability to hit with runners in scoring position. Atlanta is 5-for-38 with runners on second and/or third during their skid, which followed a nine-game winning streak. The Mets are 11-5 in their past 16 contests at home and play their final four games before the All-Star break at Citi Field. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SportSouth (Atlanta), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Aaron Harang (8-6, 3.67 ERA) vs. Mets RH Bartolo Colon (8-7, 4.04) Harang, who signed with the Braves after Cleveland released him near the end of spring training, has won his past three starts while allowing seven earned runs in 21 innings. He beat Arizona Saturday, giving up three earned runs in eight innings. Harang is 1-1 with a 0.69 ERA against the Mets this season, including seven no-hit innings April 18 at New York. Colon is 36-22 since the start of 2012. He allowed five runs in each of his past two outings, following a seven-start stretch in which Colon went 6-0 with a 1.58 ERA and a .191 opponents batting average. Colon is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in two starts against Atlanta this season. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York RHP Jenrry Mejia earned his team-high ninth save in Wednesday’s victory and is one of seven different Mets relievers who have at least one. 2. The Braves have allowed 32 runs in their past seven losses, 23 of those scoring with two outs. 3. Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez told reporters he does not anticipate C Evan Gattis – currently on the disabled list with a back injury – being ready immediately after the All-Star break.

Yadier Molina goes on the DL and should be out for between 2 and 3 months. I'm soooo sorry. What a shame. Too bad the Mets don't play STL during that time so we don't have to hear Gary fawn all over him.

Y'all need to get on board. The future is now and we've got Superman in center and he doesn't need you doubts.

Just got home... to this? Guys. For a big ol' shamblin', change-uppin' pile of humanity, Bart sure knows how to tiptoe through trouble. Thanks be that Harang's bunting efforts are about the same as the Forum's posting ones during the first four frames.

I could not visit the board until the Mets got on the board. Please forgive me :( 3-1 Not the Mets. Comeback starts ....now. This is my last post until we score again. If they score again.....I may have something to say about it. But Gary has assured me that BoFat is going to keep us in the game.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 10 2014 06:44 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Big moment for dArnaud here.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 10 2014 06:46 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

In terms of plate control/batting eye, d'Arnaud's looking more like SugarPants at the plate than SugarPants these days.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 10 2014 06:48 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Good wood... right to leather. In-game interview with The Aged One. Those dimples on Abreu, mang... you should pack a lunch if you're heading in there.

I like the side interviews, mid-inning, but c'mon. I have a 55" TV. Let's get an inset and show game play at the same time, MMMKAY GUYS?

That was between innings, bruvva-- limited-commercial-interruption night, sponsored by Citi. Matlack now... they've lined up some premium filler for this thing.

Frayed Knot Jul 10 2014 07:07 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Am always surprised at the level of detail that pitchers can remember (batters too in their own way), in this case it's Matlack talking about the pitch, location, and call of the pitch before the one that was lined off his head.

Ashie62 Jul 10 2014 07:10 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

It might be like remembering Professional successes and failures. We pretty much all do it...

Frayed Knot Jul 10 2014 07:12 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

I hate looking like shit against Aaron Harangutan.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 10 2014 07:15 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Bart's done a nice job of working the zone (especially for a guy who isn't so much, y'know, into the Zone) since the first couple of innings (3 baserunners since the 3rd).

Frayed Knot Jul 10 2014 07:18 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Yadier Molina goes on the DL and should be out for between 2 and 3 months. And from the 'Irony can be so Ironic' department: Molina injured the thumb after grabbing 3rd base to steady himself following a feet-first slide. Brandon Phillips of the Reds also needs surgery on his thumb but he did that on defense.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 10 2014 07:23 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

I'm sure somebody is tracking this but if you told me no team has a better Challenge Won-Lost record than the Mets I'd totally believe it. It is strange living in a world where the fates are no longer getting away with screwing the Mets so hard and so often.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 10 2014 07:26 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Here we go.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 10 2014 07:37 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Time has come to think about hitting for Lagares in these spots.

Now we get to find out who plays shortstop when they pinch hit for Tejada. Later

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 10 2014 07:56 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Was hoping to see at least 8 pitches out of that Abreu at-bat, soften him up for the powerfolk.

Frayed Knot Jul 10 2014 07:58 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Lot of 'almost HRs' from Cy Oung this year: either the almost-fair type or of the just-short variety.

Zvon Jul 10 2014 08:03 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Well that sucked. Not the game, my vow of silence. That was very difficult. The game bit the big one.

Gwreck Jul 10 2014 08:20 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

I thought from early on that Bartolo really didn't have it tonight but he turned it into a decent start. Pitcher Hitting Eighth resulted in three innings where Young lead off. Fun time at the park in those "Murphy specials" - 2 really-quite-good seats for $28 (total! Not each) - one of the best promos the Mets have had in quite a while.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 10 2014 08:37 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

Whatever inning that was where EYJ led off by bunting into an easy out was pretty regrettable.

And do challenges show up in the box score somewhere?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 10 2014 09:49 PM Re: Alternate Side Parking IGT 7/10/14

I think there was only one that I saw, very close play but to the Mets favor. I'm thinking not just of "winning" challenges, which any good team ought to do, but having a disproportionate number of calls overturned in our favor vs. opponents successfully challenging our gains away. That may just be my perception. but if accurate would confirm a longstanding suspicion that the Mets routinely get screwed over more than anyone.

Yea, the one at second was last night. I dunno JCL. I'm curious though. I think any fan that follows a team tightly and sees a lot of plays, or even just pitches, tends to feel like their team is holding the short end of the stick.
