ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

The Mets celebrate my anniversary by sending Seth Lügo to the mound in candy apple gray, challenging him to show some hart and grant the team a win after their 17-5 cubbing of a drubbing yesterday made no sense at all. [youtube:18ey6h21]eoKeH7JYE48[/youtube:18ey6h21]

Something I learned today is that Jen-Ho Tseng makes his debüt for the Cubs, continuing their defense of last season's celebrated summer.

MFS62 Sep 14 2017 03:24 PM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

Happy Anniversary, Edgy. Didn't you post the pictures here? IIRC it was an outdoor wedding. Right? Later

d'Kong76 Sep 14 2017 03:28 PM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

Maybe if we can hold them to just a few field goals tonight we have a shot. Need to tighten up the red-zone D.

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2017 06:49 PM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

Jen-Ho Tseng, making his ML debut tonight -- 22 y/o RHP from Taiwan singed in 2013 by the Cubs as an amateur FA Split 2017 between AA Tennessee (15 starts - 2.99 ERA) and AAA Iowa (9 starts - 1.80 ERA)

Long-ass first inning.

Hey, this is a Mets broadcast. I don't want to see dancing in the Cubs bullpen.

If Smith keeps hitting homers I won't complain about his....his....his weight transfer during swings. Yea, that's the ticket.

Does the Wrigley Field organ player know any music besides "Little Bit of Soul"?

Things went south rather quickly. My MLBtv feed froze a few minutes ago so I don't even know how it happened. Last I saw we were up 5-4. Suddenly it's 9-5 home team. We let Rizzo steal twice?

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 01:58 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

And now Rosario is lollygagging it to first. "Don't be surprised, be ready," indeed.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:00 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

OK, he's hurting. Mercy sakes.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:01 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

And d'Arnaud is out also.

How many more hubcaps can they possibly pop in 15 more games?

When he stole 2nd he had such a big jump I thought d'Arnaud was going to throw the ball directly to 3rd just to keep him at 2nd. I saw the first one. Lugo could have easily stepped off and caught him midway but he gave it no mind. d'Arnaud: twisted knee. Rosario: sore hip flexor.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:22 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

Should have put Nido in.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:22 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

The Cubs offense had had 22 half innings in this series: 8, 8, and 6 times in this game so far. How many leadoff batters have NYM pitchers retired do you suppose? I'm guessing maybe 5 of 6

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:30 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

Next available potential middle-infield minor league callup is 32-year-old Josh Rodriguez, who is a minor league free agent at the end of the season and is probably already home and planning his retirement. Behind him is ... Luis Guillorme? L.J. Mazzilli?

41Forever Sep 15 2017 02:31 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

Awful.

d'Kong76 Sep 15 2017 02:33 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

So much for holding 'em to a few field goals.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:35 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

It's like a couple of lists go up in the clubhouse each day: one which lists whose turn it is to get hurt that day, and the other which pitchers' turn it is to suck.

Those uncontested stolen bases are so emblematic of the 2017 Mets. They just concede so much.

41Forever Sep 15 2017 02:51 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

You know how the league is trying to save time by having the manager hold up four fingers to call for the intentional walk? Terry should just walk away from the mound after making a pitching change and hold up five fingers -- and have the umpire just go ahead and add five runs on the scoreboard. You know it's going to happen, and it just eliminates more chances for someone else to get hurt.

d'Kong76 Sep 15 2017 03:08 AM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

I know most of youse are off the air now in the midst of another blow out, but why is SNY showing happy drunk Cub fans trying to dance? #lgm #ygb #cuckthefubs

Benjamin Grimm Sep 15 2017 12:24 PM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

I just realized that, before the start of yesterday's action, the Mets had a 7.5 game lead over the Phillies with 17 games remaining.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 01:32 PM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

Also, that loss (and the horrible play that ended it) sealed the package on the Mets' elimination.

d'Kong76 Sep 15 2017 01:51 PM Re: ÏGT - 9/14 - Mëts ät Cübs

Cool, now they can start playing the scrubinis! (I would have guessed mathematical elimination happened long ago)

Mets flew out of Chicago wearing römpers to the last man. Kind of appropriate, I guess, and it beats rookie hazing day. [fimg=850:1yvi5tya]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DJxc3KPVYAAp0Wi.jpg:large[/fimg:1yvi5tya]

I guess a sense of humor is a sense of humor but if I just gave up ~40 runs in a three game series I probably wouldn't be in romper-mode... (only deGrom could make that color look good on a guy)

I thought Bradford was the dark-bearded guy the right of Reyes. The lighter beard to the right of him is Nido.
