When the story of 2015 is written, let the part about Niese turning his season around not be forgotten.

2.88 ERA in 13 starts since June 1. Bravo, Jon.

NY Mets at Colorado When: 8:10 PM ET, Saturday, August 22, 2015 Where: Coors Field, Denver, Colorado SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets hope for more fireworks from Yoenis Cespedes when they continue their three-game series against the host Colorado Rockies on Saturday. Cespedes put on a power display in the opener, belting three home runs - including a grand slam - and driving in seven runs while scoring five times during a 5-for-6 performance in a 14-9 triumph. Travis d'Arnaud and Michael Conforto also went deep as the Mets improved to 2-1 on their nine-game road trip. New York increased its lead over second-place Washington in the National League East to five games as it defeated Colorado for the fifth time in as many meetings this season. The Mets have outscored the Rockies 37-14 in 2015 and have reached double digits in each of the last two encounters. Nolan Arenado went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs while Carlos Gonzalez and Ben Paulsen also homered in the slugfest for Colorado, which fell to 2-5 on its nine-game homestand. TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, WPIX (New York), ROOT (Colorado) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets LH Jon Niese (7-9, 3.50 ERA) vs. Rockies LH Chris Rusin (4-5, 3.99) Niese's unbeaten streak reached four starts last Saturday, when he allowed three runs and five hits in six innings of a no-decision against Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old native of Ohio has given up seven runs in 26 frames while going 2-0 during his run. Niese improved to 2-3 with a 4.65 ERA in eight career outings versus Colorado by limiting the Rockies to two runs over seven innings in a home win on Aug. 10. Rusin is coming off the best outing of his career, a five-hit shutout against San Diego on Sunday in which he walked one and struck out four. The victory was the first since June 21 for the 28-year-old Detroit native, who had gone eight starts without a win. Rusin made his first start against the Mets in New York on Aug. 11, when he suffered a hard-luck loss despite giving up one run in six innings. WALK-OFFS: 1. Arenado joined Vinny Castilla (six times) as the only third basemen in Rockies history to hit 30 home runs in a season. 2. New York 3B David Wright (spinal stenosis) went 3-for-4 for Single-A St. Lucie on Friday and will conclude his rehab assignment Saturday as he is expected to join the Mets for their game at Philadelphia on Monday. 3. Colorado C Nick Hundley has recorded two three-hit performances in his last four games.

Welcome back, Ruben. I was starting to worry about you.

The7Line game again.

d'Kong76 Aug 22 2015 05:59 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

I don't follow them, have they become that big?

Ashie62 Aug 22 2015 06:55 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Geeez Lagares can't catch this year. When David comes back send down Lagares, not Conforto.

d'Kong76 Aug 22 2015 06:57 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Duda on DL may change things.

Pheew, Phlowers.

Everybody hits!

I hope for Rusin's sake that the clubhouse showers don't have any straight razors in them.

Creepy Phillies hat guy not there tonight, that I can tell. Librarian Met fan chixx in the front row, looks like.

Gelbs selling Coach Cuddy tee shirts...

Keith, a Jeter move is derogatory.

Fman99 Aug 22 2015 07:47 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

I thought a "Jeter move" meant giving cold sores and bouquets of flowers to attractive Manhattanites post coitus.

Frayed Knot Aug 22 2015 07:48 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Good Lawd it's still just the 4th inning!!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 22 2015 07:57 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

We need to punish these guys for the Payton-Reed trade.

Fman99 Aug 22 2015 07:58 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Yo-Anus with another ribeye. And the hits keep coming!

d'Kong76 Aug 22 2015 08:08 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Only the 5th, we may get another Unicorn Game!

Frayed Knot wrote: Good Lawd it's still just the 4th inning!! Yes, but Niese has thrown over 70 pitches. I wonder how may relievers will be used protecting this lead. Later

Edgy MD Aug 22 2015 08:29 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

The d'Arnaud/Garneau thing is funny.

d'Kong76 Aug 22 2015 08:35 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Leads evaporate in Denver.

Still winning by a touchdown, but ya know what I'm sayin'....

Goofy park. It's 14-7 now, are we at halftime yet?

Eric O'Flaherty, still sucking O'Ass against righties.

How are the Packers doing against Washington out at FedEx Field?

Edgy MD Aug 22 2015 08:59 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Hey, Mets fans on Twitter... his name is Conforto. With an N. Not "Comforto." He's an outfielder, not a Mexican mattress.

Edgy MD Aug 22 2015 09:08 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Pinch-hitting Johnson against the lefty. Hmmm...

My boy Kahne warming for the Rockies.

If the Mets get another double, it's free forum usage for everybody.

Cuddy goes down on one of them magic strikes.

Edgy MD Aug 22 2015 10:28 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

I wonder when the last time was when a Mets starting pitcher walked off with a win after giving up seven in five and a third.

Zvon Aug 22 2015 10:42 PM Re: IGT 122 Rock them up, knock them down

Crazy game. I could see the game but couldn't hear it and I thought it was hailing there. But that was just balls falling from the sky into the gaps every few seconds. 14-9. DeJaVu!
