NY Mets at San Diego When: 8:40 PM ET, Saturday, May 7, 2016 Where: Petco Park, San Diego, California SportsDirect Inc. The San Diego Padres are enjoying their best stretch of the season and attempt to defeat the visiting New York Mets for the third consecutive time when the teams continue their four-game set on Saturday. The Padres have allowed just three runs in the series - all in the ninth inning of Thursday's contest - and have won six of their last eight games. New York recorded only three hits in Friday's 2-0 loss and has notched seven in the series as its bats have gone down the shitter. The Mets are 2-4 this month and have scored 16 runs in six games, half of which came in a victory over lowly Atlanta on Wednesday. San Diego's Jon Jay registered his second three-hit performance of the season on Friday while scoring the team's first run and driving in the other with a single. The Padres have been blanked eight times this season, with both losses in their last eight contests being shutout defeats. TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, MLB Network, WPIX (New York), FSN San Diego PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Bartolo Colon (2-1, 2.56 ERA) vs. Padres RH James Shields (1-4, 3.23) Colon defeated the Braves in his last outing, when he scattered seven hits over eight scoreless innings while striking out seven. He has issued only three walks and fanned 28 while giving up three or fewer runs in each of his five starts. Colon is 2-3 with a 4.13 ERA in six career outings against San Diego and has struggled with Melvin Upton Jr. (10-for-33) while dominating Alexei Ramirez (0-for-15). Shields was winless over his first five starts before beating Colorado in his last turn, when he gave up one run and nine hits in six innings. He has allowed two or fewer runs in three of his last four outings and has given up as many as four just once this season. Shields is 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA in three career starts against New York and has had a lot of success against Curtis Granderson (8-for-64, two homers). WALK-OFFS: 1. The Mets are 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position over the first two contests of the four-game series. 2. San Diego RHP Fernando Rodney saved each of the first two games and hasn't allowed an earned run in 12 appearances. 3. New York SS Asdrubal Cabrera recorded two of his team's three hits Friday and is 6-for-18 with a homer over his last five games. We'll try another from the classic TH album...

NYM bats (via their incompetence) seem determined to make the Bartolo runs stand up as the margin.

Reed's slider has more of curveball-type a top-to-bottom break.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 07 2016 10:09 PM Re: IGT 5/7 Mets at S.D. A healthy Colon will fix this. 8:40

Fastballs in the mid-90s, sliders at 89-90? If that radar gun is accurate, Reed's working with more horsepower than I recall him having.

Gary & Ron talked earlier about Terry NOT making the double switch to get Lagares in. I tend to agree w/Terry that it was too early/risky to do it then, but I hope this doesn't burn us here as you'd have to think that Juan would have pocketed that one.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 07 2016 10:14 PM Re: IGT 5/7 Mets at S.D. A healthy Colon will fix this. 8:40

So... one run ballgame, spacious OF... not that he would have gotten that, necessarily, but why no Lagares plug-in, anyway? Forget the double switch.

It doesn't burn us after all. Heckuva challenge pitch from Reed.

That is indeed where the collision occurred. Did the fans act badly when Cameron was down? Gary said something along the lines of, "Stay classy San Diego."

Was at the 'Bartolo Game' with the Opera Singer, sitting with the 7 Line people in right field, all 1,400 of 'em. Phenomenal time. I wasn't sure if it would be a bunch of WFAN radio-caller bros (there were a few, but didn't encounter a single asshole in the bunch). Everyone we did meet was super cool and seeing that many Met fans outside Shea/Citi was bonkers for me, being a lifetime road-gamer. They sang 'Meet the Mets' and even had some soccer-style chants for individual players, not all of 'em worked, but credit for the effort. When Bart hit the homer, you woulda tought we won the World Series or something. Complete euphoria. For me, it was about the same level of crazy for the visiting fan as when Fonzie hit the HR off Bobby Chouinard in Arizona in '99, but that was a grand slam in the playoffs. This was just Bartolo Magic. Said hi to ring-leader, Darren. Seemed a real nice guy. Saw Jim Breuer in the pisser. Took a picture with Ron Burgandy. The whole 7 Line experience, I surprisingly recommend it. San Diego has great beers. I may have had one or two. Wish u were here #awhalesvagina

Good to know that was not the case. Like I said, there were a few, but they were easy enough to stay clear from. The seating at this event was completely loose, for the record. Everyone sat/stood with who they wanted to hang with and that surprisingly worked. I thought it would be a shit-show, but it wasn't. The guys we met and hung out with said seating worked the same at Citi for 7 line events. These guys, btw, flew out from Queens, and were normal people with jobs, who just like the Mets. Blondie worked in marketing for a bank, the bearded guy was nice and normal, too, forget what his job was. The kid in the white t-shirt was a Marine stationed at Pendleton (also from New Mexico) who just wandered over cause it looked fun. Met a really cool married couple from Chicago who made the game into a little So Cal trip, following the Mets around like they're the Grateful Dead. We facebooked and may meet up in Chicago in the summer. I was leery, too, but happily have no bad stories to tell.

Yes, it is too long and rambling. I think she said on Twitter she was going to sell the gnome she got at the game, and some folks saw that as a violation, and, so called her a c--- and stuff. They only gave out so many gnomes and apparently lines were long and lots of folks were disappointed they didn;t get one. I'd surmise part of the anger had to do with the bad guys missing out on their own. On an semi-related note I was at Saturday's Orioles game and they gave out a really nice lined canvas shopping/beach bag to all the ladies with the bird logo -- and no sponsor logo at all. Almost unimaginable at Citifield where the giveaways are always splattered with ugly sponsor logos.

Yeah, that's the word: "Rambling". You have the best words.

Yeah, no one should be subjected to that garbage - online or #IRL. Apparently 25 states represented the 1,400 San Diego tickets, so maybe this outing was more of a tourist thing for softy lamestreamers like me, don't know. Speaking of Mets memorabilia, I have a bunch of yearbooks I am gunna get rid of. If anyone wants one or two or three of them, I'll put them in the mail and you can reimburse my postage, if you're so inclined. I'll list what I've got later (snap some pics, too, if anyone is interested). Didn't have the heart to take them to a Goodwill/second hand place.

Didn't hear one thing about it! I didn't even know that was a thing. What's the quick backstory? here's the long backstory. i dunno yet if anyone officially denounced these numbnuts or not but this kinda stuff is a live wire right now. http://mysummerfamily.blogspot.com/2016 ... pples.html It appears that the saga has a happy ending.

"Softy lamestreamer" was the mascot of my high school sports teams.
