Washington at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, August 13, 2014 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The Washington Nationals look to extend their remarkable dominance at Citi Field on Wednesday, when they continue their three-game set against the fading New York Mets. Washington moved a season-high five games ahead of second-place Atlanta in the National League East with a 7-1 win in Tuesday’s series opener, while New York has fallen 8 1/2 games out of first. The Nationals have won nine consecutive games at Citi Field, outscoring the Mets 67-18 during the streak. Washington is hoping Jayson Werth can avoid a trip to the disabled list after he missed Tuesday’s game due to an inflamed right shoulder. Rookie Michael Taylor belted a two-run homer in his major-league debut while starting in place of Werth, who is awaiting the results of an MRI. The Nationals have won eight of their 10 meetings with the Mets this season, but they haven’t figured out how to slow down Daniel Murphy, who is 15-for-33 against Washington this season. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MASN2 (Washington), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Jordan Zimmermann (7-5, 3.06 ERA) vs. Mets RH Bartolo Colon (11-9, 3.97) Zimmermann recorded his third straight quality start by holding the Mets to three runs over 6 1/3 innings on Thursday. The winningest pitcher in Nationals history has a 2.03 ERA in his first two starts this month after going winless with a 4.22 ERA in four July outings. Murphy is 16-for-44 with three homers against Zimmermann, who is 5-5 with a 3.35 ERA in 18 career starts against New York - including six solid innings in a 3-1 win on May 18. Colon became the third Dominican-born pitcher to win 200 games last Friday, when he yielded one run over eight innings against Philadelphia. The 41-year-old has won three of his last four starts and walked two or fewer batters in 49 of his last 53 outings. Ian Desmond has two homers in six at-bats while Denard Span is 0-for-10 against Colon, who is 2-2 with a 2.32 ERA in four career starts against Washington. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets 3B David Wright is 14-for-46 during his 11-game hitting streak. 2. Washington is 55-7 when scoring four or more runs. 3. New York CF Juan Lagares is hitting .352 (19-for-54) over his last 15 games.

Jason Werth ticketed driving 105 in a 55... Take that Sammy Hagar!

I saw that too this morning but it happened in early July and his court thing was supposed to be a couple of days ago but now moved to November?

Internet says today is National Lefthanders Day, so expect some Hot Josh Edgin Action, and maybe a Pepsi Porch shot from Duda.

That's a quick promotion for Taylor: ML debut & hitting 8th one day, starting in CF and leading off the next.

Sometimes you're the windshield Mr. Taylor, sometimes you're the bug.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 13 2014 06:07 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

3-0 on Desmond with 1st and 2nd, nobody on... then a DP, then a Bryce Harper backwards-K. For such an hombre gordo, Bart shore can tiptoe, cain't he? We're through 3 and a half scoreless.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 06:13 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Well, I guess Wright was correct about Franzen sucking, just correct at the wrong time.

A giveaway can-of-corn. Hey, when you're living run-to-run, as we are, every little bit-- be it an "honest meal," or a one-hand-out-- helps.

Ashie62 Aug 13 2014 06:14 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Frandsen sucks on command...

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 13 2014 06:16 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Hey, did you hear Boyz II Men was playing a show at Citi this weekend? Speaking of famous, aging quartets-- tonight's trivia: 4 oldest to throw perfection... go! (Bunning has to be one of them, no?)

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 13 2014 06:26 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

The rookie very nearly Frandsened that F-8 by Lagares.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 13 2014 06:32 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

I may be mistaken, but I don't think the Express stopped at Perfecttown. I'm thinking Halladay AND Bunning. David Wells? David Wells, now that I think about it... definitely.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 13 2014 06:34 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

That was Frandscendant

Big Unit's got to be the oldest. And speaking of big units... Johnny Lags has to feel like one after missing the cutoff there, letting Desmond get to second.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 06:48 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

I was taking my toilet. Was there anything particularly dicky about Harper's sac fly?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 13 2014 06:50 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Not Harper's really, but Laggy's throw was stupid and directly responsible for the run that just scored. More poor execution from the Mets again tonight, that throw and Wright's dumbshit baserunning in the first. Answer for it, somebody.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 06:58 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Tempted to pinch run for Duda here, but it's too early. On the other hand, the only run has come on his wheels.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 06:59 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Now we might have scored if Eric Young was on second there.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 07:00 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

The Nats are getting weird. Radio booth sees intent in that HbP.

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2014 07:01 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Does Lagares have a ball magnet implanted near his left shoulder blade? That's like the 3rd one in the last week or so.

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2014 07:03 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Nats are trying very hard to hand us runs and we're trying very hard not to take them.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 07:08 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Well, stinking out of a gift opportunity is no fun. Please don't retaliate.

d'Kong76 Aug 13 2014 07:09 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Nieuwee not looking good, when a walk ties.

Followed by a solid single. Now where's that inside out hat of mine?

Little d's all over the ballpark!

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2014 07:50 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

About 10% of 2-run saves are blown btw. And this one is already no longer two runs.

Fman99 Aug 13 2014 07:50 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Ugh. Wasted at bat there.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 07:50 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Bunting, bunting, bunting...

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2014 07:50 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

I REALLY hated that call.

d'Kong76 Aug 13 2014 07:51 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

That was two crappy LaBunt attempts.

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2014 07:53 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Now THAT'S how you move a runner along!!

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 07:53 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Now is a good time for a bunt. I like squeezies. But man, the 2014 51s are having a nice inning.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 07:54 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Wow, that green light for Young is almost ballsier than the squeeze call would've been.

d'Kong76 Aug 13 2014 07:54 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

EY! Huge theft ... if he didn't make that ...

Hitting like it's Vegas AND running like it's Vegas.

Give 'em Purgatory, Terry!!

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2014 07:56 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

No way should that be blocking the plate. But this situation is no different than some we've seen overturned and if I'm the manager I'm challenging every single out at home until they get this thing straightened out.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2014 07:58 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

gurble.

Snatching defeat from blahblahblah. Hey, at least our draft station's getting better!!!1!

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2014 08:00 PM Re: IGT 8/13 Mets vs Nats "Don't Call It a ShaMback"

Weird game. Nats had runners on early and couldn't cash. Mets had several chances late and couldn't. Each side handed each other runs with errors. Both starters were good but both lost it quickly. Sloppy game overall. Plus I hate losing to these fuckers.
