John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2017 11:40 AM

This could turn into something if we obey the commands of Sir Bon Scott: Going down, party time My friends are gonna be there too Srlsly this is a Big Game for the Mets. I'm declaring it such. 4 oclock

This is the start of the Hellickson trade showcase, one would imagine. Let's put some dings in this floor model, shall we?

Yesterday, the Phils hung tight to the very end despite the opposition staff ace throwing his best stuff. Their young starter eluded the worst after getting into early trouble and did yeoman's work turning his day around and keeping his team in the game. Two of their rookies had their first career hits. That was way too many moral victories for the Mets to allow a team to sleep on. They need to open up the throttle a little on these Phils. Also, are Duda and Conforto on this team or not?

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 06:51 PM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

Duda's penciled in there. Hopefully, he won't be a late scratch again.

42 pitches for Wheeler after two.

Ashie62 Jul 01 2017 08:53 PM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

I hope Conforto regains his swing after this rest.

Ashie62 Jul 01 2017 08:58 PM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

Reyes doubles in Doodah.

Ashie62 Jul 01 2017 09:30 PM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

I look at Zack and wonder when we will sign Bartolo.

Lefty Specialist Jul 01 2017 09:34 PM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

A thoroughly annoying performance by Wheeler.

TheOldMole Jul 01 2017 10:09 PM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

What happened with Wheeler? Another injury? His line doesn't look all that bad.

Time to stretch... [youtube:2tgrh4kt]l482T0yNkeo[/youtube:2tgrh4kt]

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 11:03 PM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

Flip that bat, you beautiful mofo!

d'Kong76 Jul 02 2017 12:09 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

Anyone hear a re-start time?

Edgy MD Jul 02 2017 12:21 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

And we're back. And hey! Joaquin Benoit is still in the league! Who knew?

Edgy MD Jul 02 2017 12:23 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

Reedy on looking for the last three outs of a four-out save.

Edgy MD Jul 02 2017 12:26 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

DOUBLE TROUBLE!

Edgy MD Jul 02 2017 12:29 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

Tommy Joseph flies to shallow center. Nick Williams up.

Edgy MD Jul 02 2017 12:30 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

Mixed blessing! Ground out to Duda, but the tying run crosses to third! Mikael Franco! He's up! [bigpurple:20d7nrv6]AND HE'S OUT O MY GOD!!![/bigpurple:20d7nrv6]

MFS62 Jul 02 2017 12:54 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

[crossout:mqrqciio]And Salas gets the win? I know, wins aren't an important part of a pitcher's record, and the official scorer can award the win to another pitcher if the pitcher of record pitched "briefly and ineffectively." But still ... Oh, they won.[/crossout:mqrqciio] Never mind. That's why Schaefer voting is so improtant. Later

Edgy MD Jul 02 2017 02:22 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

Nationals lose, allowing the Mets to close within nine games in the NL East. Miami loses, dropping them 2 1/2 games behind the Mets in the standings in the East, as well as in the Wild Card. Pittsburgh loses, dropping them 1 1/2 games behind the Mets in the standings in the Wild Card. The Cardinals and Braves sit a game ahead, and suddenly, the Cubs only a game and a half. Wild Card leaders Colorado and Arizona are battling it out in the first right now. The Mets are guaranteed to gain on one of them.

d'Kong76 Jul 02 2017 02:26 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

They were losing when Bon told us to stretch.

Fman99 Jul 02 2017 02:40 AM Re: IGT 7/1: Highway to Hellickson

I somehow missed this being a 4 PM start, and just sat around Skyzone for an hour, reading my book, while my son bounced, and then we ate, me clueless all the while, and I put the game on XM right around 6:50 thinking we'd get pre game and holy shit! It was the 7th inning. So we got to hear Josh and Howie's call of Cabrera's big bomb, which worked out perfectly.

This is a good night to watch the sports report on the Philly channel
