Jacob by day, put it away. Robert Stephenson provides the opposition in conjunction with his Reds teammates.

Robert Stephenson knows how to picnic.

Taijeron Hit Watch is on. Also, postseason eligibility trade deadline is today and Cabrera is in the starting lineup. Also, Zimmo is our cleanup hitter. Also, Cecchini can't buy a start as Reyes is at 2B today.

This is the lineup Terry is backing his ace with.

Robert Stephenson knows how to picnic. Here's another picture of him with his wife:

This game is happening guys. Mets down 3-2, but we have a Taijeron hit in captivity.

This game would be better if it was better.

So far done in by Robert Stephenson and that Scooter Gennett guy.

Good thing we're facing the ML's worst pitching staff in a hitter's park, eh? 4, 2, and 2 runs so far over 25 total innings.

Zvon Aug 31 2017 08:46 PM Re: IGT 8/31/2017: NYM@CIN -- Afternoon deLight

This game was a real drag.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2017 08:50 PM Re: IGT 8/31/2017: NYM@CIN -- Afternoon deLight

This entire series was a dud outside of Montero's outing. Bad hitting, bad base-running, not great fielding, yadda yadda

Chad Ochoseis Aug 31 2017 09:41 PM Re: IGT 8/31/2017: NYM@CIN -- Afternoon deLight

This wasn't a great team when at least some subset of Bruce, Cespedes, Conforto, Duda, and Granderson were on the active roster. With all five of them gone for the season, it's going to be a long slog through September. I'm thinking of it as early spring training for 2018.

Good thing I love the game itself or this month coming up would be unbearable.

Not even a replay broadcast on SNY tonight. Lame.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 01 2017 12:25 AM Re: IGT 8/31/2017: NYM@CIN -- Afternoon deLight

One thing I'm realizing is we simply have to adjust our expectations with these SHaMmiest of SHaMs. I mean, they suck. Unable to win a series, prone to slumps and dumb plays etc etc etc. I mean the Reds fucked us up the butt in this series.

Not even a replay broadcast on SNY tonight. Lame. Believe me when I say you're not missing much. Uninspired baseball. deGrom was not on his game :( Except maybe this: [url]https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/watch-joey-votto-homers-gives-bat-and-jersey-to-6-year-old-fan-battling-cancer/ But fuck Votto AND Ichiro!

But fuck Votto AND Ichiro! It's never a bad time to say Fuck You Ichiro! ;) lol. Agreed. Fun stat for the games in Cinn: This was the first series of the season in which the Mets failed to hit a homerun.

Unable to win a series, prone to slumps and dumb plays etc etc etc. I mean the Reds fucked us up the butt in this series. When you lose and/or give up 3/4 of your offense -- as Granderson, Walker, Bruce, Duda, Cespedes, and Conforto essentially all disappeared during a two week window -- it's tough to expect good things. This is now a team which has topped four runs just once in the last 12 games and the note above about it being the first series without hitting a HR is stunning considering who and where they were just playing.

G-Fafif Sep 01 2017 12:51 PM Re: IGT 8/31/2017: NYM@CIN -- Afternoon deLight

This was the first series all year in which the Mets played consecutive games in less than 2:45, perhaps reflecting an accelerated desire by both teams to get the season over with.
