A sweep is not an option!

NY Mets at St. Louis When: 2:15 PM ET, Sunday, July 19, 2015 Where: Busch Stadium, St. Louis, Missouri SportsDirect Inc. The St. Louis Cardinals traditionally have enjoyed a considerable advantage at Busch Stadium, posting a majors-best 33-11 record this season while winning 16 of their last 21 home meetings against the New York Mets. The Cardinals look to continue their dominance in the Gateway City and complete a three-game series sweep of the Mets when the teams reconvene on Sunday afternoon. Randal Grichuk belted a pair of homers to highlight his six-RBI performance in St. Louis' 12-2 rout of New York on Saturday. Grichuk is a blistering 9-for-15 in his last four contests and 2-for-3 with two extra-base hits against Sunday starter Jonathon Niese. It is uncertain if Jason Heyward will face Niese after the outfielder reached for his hamstring following his fifth hit on Saturday. While the Cardinals have rebounded from a brief stumble prior to the All-Star break, New York has sputtered out of the blocks to begin their 10-game stretch against all three National League division leaders. Michael Cuddyer homered among his three hits on Saturday to improve to 8-for-18 in his last five outings following an 0-for-11 stretch in his previous five tilts. TV: 2:15 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Midwest (St. Louis) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets LH Jonathon Niese (5-8, 3.61 ERA) vs. Cardinals LH Tim Cooney (0-0, 4.34) After a disastrous stretch, Niese has made great strides to turn his season around. The 28-year-old, who has recorded a 2.67 ERA over his last eight starts, seized his second straight victory after tossing 6 2/3 solid innings in a 5-3 triumph over Arizona last Sunday. Niese fell to 4-3 in his career versus St. Louis after getting blitzed for eight runs on 11 hits in five innings of a 10-2 setback on May 19. Cooney will receive his fifth start of the season on Sunday as manager Mike Matheny elects to give his rotation an extra day's rest. The 24-year-old has pitched well in his last three outings, permitting six earned runs in 16 2/3 innings. Cooney, who has yet to face the Mets in his young career, has kept the ball in the park in his each of his last two trips to the mound. WALK-OFFS: 1. St. Louis SS Jhonny Peralta is 10-for-21 with two homers in his last five games. 2. Mets 2B Wilmer Flores was hitless in four at-bats on Saturday to fall to 3-for-25 versus the Cardinals this season. 3. St. Louis 3B Matt Carpenter is 0-for-13 with four strikeouts in his last three contests.

I hope Tim Cooney throws as hard as Gerry Cooney.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 11:44 AM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

I hope Tim Cooney throws as hard as Tim Conway. I hope Tim Conway throws as hard as Conway Twitty. I hope Conway Twitty throws as hard Tweety Bird. I hope Tweety Bird throws as hard as Lady Bird Johnson. The Mets have never had a problem hitting Lady Bird Johnson.

Ashie62 Jul 19 2015 12:05 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

I heard Grote once hit Lady Bird Johnson.

What a terrible at-bat by John Mayberry — fouled off two hanging meatballs and flails at the straight change.

Lefty Specialist Jul 19 2015 01:31 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

And Lagares swings at a ball that bounced. This is really getting old.

So, this is a grind.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 01:44 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Let's spoil this shit, Murphy.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 01:47 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Two hits. And we look at the shift and the wide open single and possible double it gives us, and we say pish-posh.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 01:49 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Two outs, two on, and Mayberry, Jr. up. Por favor, JMJ.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 01:52 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

OK, jammed up... for Plawecki. Pinch-hit Granderson here?

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 01:57 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

It's like they all turn into Jan From Toyota at the plate with runners in scoring position. Except that they don't go places.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 02:13 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Swinging at compost, gentlemen.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 02:25 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Lousy strike one call to Duda. Hey, pinch run Nieuwie for Cuddy if he gets in scoring position.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 02:27 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

CBGB Guy behind home plate is a trip. Duda whiffing: not a trip.

Lefty Specialist Jul 19 2015 02:29 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

These guys are flailing at some of the worst pitches I've ever seen. And Curtis forgets how to count to four.

OK, let's win in the ninth and get out of Dodge.

Lefty Specialist Jul 19 2015 02:55 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

This has all the earmarks of a 13-inning 1-0 loss.

Duda is very strandy today.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 19 2015 03:21 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

I'd be confident that the Mets will win this game, if doing so didn't require that they score at least one run.

Keeping Familia in the barn while going to Parnell, Mejia, and now Robles... is playing it the Jerry way. You kids watching at home, don't play it the Jerry way.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jul 19 2015 04:30 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

I'm pissed at Familia. The team fights for 12 innings, finally scratches out a run and he coughs up a homer on his second pitch? Unacceptable.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 04:31 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Murphy should have been on the bag there and we'd have an out. Positioning the third baseman for the infield cutoff is self-defeating.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 04:32 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Well, we escape with a tie intact.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 04:35 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Cards sticking with Villanueva with 60 pitches already. Mets warming up Gilmartin without having yet used the brothers Torres.

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 04:38 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Rosenthal explicitly unavailable. The Cards have sent Martinez to the pen. It makes more sense for the Mets to use a starter than the Cards.

Ashie62 Jul 19 2015 04:41 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 04:57 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

I'm all for using your starters out of the pen in an emergency, but there's an argument against it for a team perched in first like the Cards. I still agree with it. Tony Larussa went to position players back in 2007, effectively throwing in the towel, though the Mets still struggled to scratch out a win.

Ashie62 Jul 19 2015 05:02 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

The damn thing is over!

Look at 'em. Most understated victory celebration ever.

We needed this one bad.

They left like 25 men on base. Can't remember the last time the Mets suicide squeezed... anyone?

Edgy MD Jul 19 2015 06:43 PM Re: IGT 07/19 - NYM @ STL - Beat Ye in St. Louis

I remember a disastrously failed suisqueeze a few weeks back. Can't remember the last successful one.

I realize the RBI is one of the old counting stats that has fallen down the list of importance. But, can't someone on this team drive in a fucking run? I was at a birthday party and heard scores from time to time. When they took the 1-0 lead and Familia was coming in I thought "In the bag". Whew! I guess a win is a win. But that's like saying that any landing you can walk away from is a good one. They battled. Later

Lost in the slow drama is that the Nats lost to the Dodgers, 5–0, and Washington now has your hitless wonders a mere two games behind them. The Mets head to DC with a chance to take back first place, thought they may not feel like it. Any offensive magic you might have in your hats, it's a good time to pull it out.

What a game. Napped through innings 1-5, missed 6-9 at the park pool, and 10-15 at home cooking dinner and doing chores, and still managed to catch the last three innings and the win.

I envy your hairy ass.

The Cinderella Amateur at Augusta won!

Missed much of this, but drifted in and out after the 10th. One for 26 w/RiSP isn't a statistic, it's a typo!!

Gotta love headlines like these: Mets beat Cards in 18 innings despite stranding 25 runners [url]http://news.yahoo.com/mets-beat-cards-18-innings-despite-stranding-25-021135270--spt.html The Mets' total of stranded runners tied the third-most in major league history and they became the first team since Kansas City on June 6, 1991, to leave as many runners on and still win. Only Philadelphia (27) in 1973 and San Diego (26) in 1979 left more runners stranded in a game — and both teams lost.

either the Mets are going to bunch those hits better and score 15 during this next series, or they're going to stop hitting altogether and score 1.
